What's confusing

Why does China care about Taiwan anyways

Because its been part of China for 300 years

I somewhat agree

work will always be performed by humans.

No it hasn't?

On some level yes. I don't see why technology couldn't enable a minimization of work performed by humans though

Imagine the confederacy still existed in Florida

It was, since the 17th century it was only ever not part of China during Japanese colonization

Both ROC and PRC regard it as part of China, which they both claim as a whole

How exactly do you think 95% of the island turned out to be Han Chinese lmao

finished 'Lenin - Imperialism' earlier this week and because of my amnesia i was able to just start it over again, literally so dumb lma

Take notes fam

Taking notes on a criminal f***ing conspiracy?

taiwan/mainland history is a mess

don’t care to go to that extent, only reading as a cognitive exercise and reading socialistic stuff because it interests me. doesn’t matter if i can’t retain it 🤷🏼‍♂️

Doesnt change the veracity of what he said

A distinct "Taiwanese" identity has only existed for like 30 years Besides the indigenous people they colonized of course

Every time white devils talk about jets flying over Taiwan's Air Defense Identification Zone, they forget to mention the fact that half of the ADIZ is on mainland soil

marxism accounts for the wholesale automation of undesired labor. i dont see why anybody itt is saying otherwise though

well it kinda does if you're talking history and not just like politics. the history is distinct from the political implications. taiwan was a separate kingdom which was taken over by the qing empire, then received mass immigration from mainland han settlers. then japanese imperialists stepped in and took it, then it was given back to the ROC because China took it. but obviously that claim is based on the Qing Dynasty - so it's not really wrong per-se that it's part of "China" but it depends really what you think the veracity of relation between post-war China & Qing is, which depends on a lot on how much you want to link culture/ethinicity to state. That said, it goes both ways - obviously KMT has nothing to intrinsically do with Taiwan either since they all fled there during the fight with the PRC. So it's not like post-KMT has a great claim to the land either.

Kingdom of Tungning were literally led by all Han chinese, this is like saying Shun Dynasty wasn't a part of China because other kingdoms existed
