Taiwan asserted its sovereignty Saturday after Donald Trump warned against Taiwanese self-determination following the American leader’s two-day summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing.
Taiwan “is a sovereign and independent democratic nation, and is not subordinate to the People’s Republic of China,” Taiwan’s foreign ministry said in a statement.
The ministry’s remarks come as a swift rebuke against Trump, who said Friday that he was “not looking to have somebody go independent” when asked about whether the U.S. would come to Taiwan’s rescue in the event of an invasion by China.
Cool so we agree that PRC and USA are both atrociously vile countries that shouldn’t be emulated? Right? Right??
Every country still trying to do colonialism and oppression in 2026 is vile and atrocious. That’s not even a real question.
What is it with Lemmy and the fucking purity tests? Folks all looking for some kind of a gotcha moment.
Oh sorry, this place is just so flooded with tankies that most of the time I see a post like that it’s because they’re about to start singing the PRC’s praises. It’s actually insane.
