    The people didn’t “go” anywhere. They’re still there. Their descendants make up around 10% of the population. They’re US citizens and the majority of them aren’t part of any independence movement. Did some die during the period where the US overthrew their monarchy? Of course! It was an armed conflict, after all. Did we slaughter all or even a significant percentage of the natives? No, we didn’t.

    We have slaughtered native populations elsewhere. You want to point fingers at the US, there’s plenty of places to point. But your Hawaiian argument reeks of ignorance.

    And again, that has nothing in common with the PRC/ROC division.

    You claim that the US is the only reason Taiwan doesn’t want to be part of the PRC. Is that what the PRC government tells its people? That the Taiwanese desperately want to dissolve their government and submit to the PRC but us evil Americans won’t let them? Why not ask some Taiwanese people about that?

    You admit that there is a “problem in Taiwan,” but maintain the illusion that the PRC controls Taiwan? You can’t have it both ways. Either you control it, or you don’t.

    There is nothing else you can say to me, because you ran out of arguments a while ago and keep trying to push some narrative about Hawaii. You haven’t answered any of the questions from my last comment. You haven’t given me any reasons why Taiwan is really part of the PRC in any practical sense, because there isn’t one.

      Should really read that link I gave you up there from an actual native person in Hawaii.

      The only thing that reeks of ignorance is claiming that US isn’t the only reason Taiwan issue exists. Where did the money for separatist movement come from exactly, who created the sunflower movement, and props up the DPP excatly?

      US is the problem in Taiwan, after the civil war in China, US decided to prop up the side that lost and actually referred to Taiwan as an unsinkable carrier. That’s the problem in Taiwan.

      There is nothing else I can say to you because it’s pretty clear that you’re either woefully uninformed on the subject you’re attempting to debate or just a shill for your empire.
