Prime Minister Lawrence Wong's meeting with People's Republic of China President Xi Jinping, 15 November 2024
Taiwan is an amazing independent country with its own culture and currency.
Taiwan’s airline is China Airlines, Taiwan’s banking is China Trust, Taiwan’s oil is China Petroleum, Taiwan’s communications are China Telecom; Taiwan speaks Chinese and has the same dialect as across the strait, Taiwan’s streets are named after mainland cities (unlike Hong Kong), the “local cuisine” is Chinese cuisine (and Taiwan competes in the Olympics as “Chinese Taipei”).
It’s strange you bring up Taiwan having “its own currency” when Hong Kong has the same and is by all accounts not an “independent country.” Obviously having one’s “own currency” does not automatically translate to national independence, and nearly every country, and the UN officially, recognizes Taiwan as a part of the PRC.
Thanks for sharing this. I've been there for 2 weeks and have spoken to people and they consider themselves as independent. There's a lot of flags regarding independence around Taipei 101. Maybe they're are all delusional, maybe they were lying to me? Whatever it is, I tend to support the small guy who is being bullied by the big one.
You're almost as good a comedian as Zelensky.
