Taiwan and China thread.

[AORUS]

But Facebook's where you get all your info from isn't it?

NO, I remember in 2017, the Rohingya were killed, tortured, raped, and displaced in the thousands as part of the Myanmar security forces’ campaign of ethnic cleansing. In the months and years leading up to the atrocities, Facebook’s algorithms were intensifying a storm of hatred against the Rohingya which contributed to real-world violence. Meta uses engagement-based algorithmic systems to power Facebook’s news feed, ranking, recommendation and groups features, with Meta profits. Now starts again with Ukraine war!

Social media platforms like Twitter, it becomes easier for false information to diffuse quickly. Research has found that false political information tends to spread "three times" faster than other false news. On Twitter, false tweets have a much higher chance of being retweeted than truthful tweets. More so, it is humans who are responsible in disseminating false news and information as opposed to bots and click-farms. This prevents people from stopping to verify the information is real!

Why would Facebook want to commit genocide against the rohingya and now Ukrainians?

Taiwan is part of China it same for Scotland been part of the UK, both share in rich history, It's will be the US last war with China knowing the stupid US today[...]

^^^ "Engrish" spotted, are you Chinese by any chance?

It's not comparable to Scotland as Scotland actually is part of the UK and voted to stay just a few years ago, you could compare it to Ireland perhaps? They're not part of the UK and in the case of Northern Ireland, they can vote to leave if they want to too.

Taiwan has its own separate government and has been governed separately for decades, it was never under the control of the CCP, the last foreign power to rule it was Japan and unless the people of Taiwan choose to vote otherwise then why should that change?

First Question NO.

We have to go back to 1943 for now.
During World War II, ROC leader Chiang Kai-shek meets with U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill in Cairo. After the conclusion of the conference, the Cairo Declaration is released, stating that Taiwan, and the the Penghu Islands, shall be restored to the Republic of China. Taiwan, officially known as the Republic of China (ROC), is an island separated from China by the Taiwan Strait. It has been governed independently of mainland China, officially the People’s Republic of China (PRC), since 1949 under one country two systems. But the United States maintains a robust unofficial relationship with the island and continues to sell defence equipment to its military in peace time! Beijing has repeatedly urged Washington to stop selling weapons to and cease contact with Taipei. As I said another Ukraine war in making and who's cause of it the US government again.

HK is an island too, but it was given back to PRC after a 99 year leased in which the British government pay tax to Chinese government.

It's fun that you can Google parts of sentences like "United States maintains a robust unofficial relationship with the island", and the next line is identical to multiple other articles posted online.

Type Facebook Rohingya it's at the top in google. Facebook is spreading propaganda over the Ukraine not all but most

I'm not posting all the info text here go and google it have fun

 

[Feef]

I'm no posting all the info go and google it

I don't need to Google it. I've largely avoided engaging in here, but my degree was Chinese studies and history of modern and pre-modern East Asian civilisation. I've spent a few years living and studying in China, and 7 years living in Taiwan. Your take on history is absurd, and rightly seen through by people with even a passing interest in the situation.

I think you posted somewhere up thread about if someone had been and asked people there how they feel. Well yeah, I have, and your portrayal of the modern history of Taiwan and China is transparent in its origins and not likely to convince anyone here.

I may have my issues with the views of some OCUK posters, but this is, as in the States, something that will usually get bipartisan agreement.

ouch Aorus just got burned

Its Ukraine, not the Ukraine.

Then you should know the history of Taiwan and know what the people of China mainland would ask you about your opinions of Taiwan!, We are class as foreigners to the Chinese you would no that! And we not aloud to talk about Taiwan to any students as many still thinks Taiwan is a part of China. I'm not here to convince anyone in OCUK members as I can already see the Facebook and twitter fans here, World History wars shouldn't be repeated but still in 21st century wars continue, arming other countries like Taiwan the US should stay out of other countries political disagreements not stir up more trouble in the East, but we're blinded by real truth news and on social media news reports coming out of Ukraine most been fake because it sales faster then truth.

That doesn't answer the question I asked.

what is the question then!

The question i just asked. It was a single line. It's not hard to answer.

 

[AORUS]

You said (Why would Facebook want to commit genocide against the rohingya and now Ukrainians?)

That's not single line when you mention two countries! I answer the first one and told you about the second one.

Numbers of lines aren't determined by how many countries you mention.
You have answer neither.

 

[Colonel_Klinck]

No but Feef sounds far more qualified than you and everything I've ever read makes me believe Taiwan is very happy being independent of mainland China and your comparison to Scotland is laughable.

 

[dowie]

Nope, it's never been ruled by the CCP, you don't have to go back to any time period as you're unable to cite any time when it was governed by the CCP.

HK is an island too, but it was given back to PRC after a 99 year leased in which the British government pay tax to Chinese government.

It never belonged to the PRC and you're wrong re: the lease too; there was no 99-year lease on HK island, you're getting confused with the 99-year lease on the new territories. HK Island was given to the PRC because it wasn't practical to split from the new territories, the CCP didn't want to extend the lease on the new territories and they threatened to cut the water off. The UK had no choice but to give it up.

It's got naff all relevance to Taiwan though.

You're not very good at this, first you made a flawed analogy with Scotland then you get basic facts wrong in your next reply.

 

[Mrwong]

The Americans and Russians broke the UK, No, US, EU did the US broke the Russians Your wrong and the Chinese about to break the US. This is best news for a long time can't wait

You clearly do not understand. but i will give you a clue, the EU did not even exist.

btw 99% of Chinese citizens are expendable in the eyes of the Chinese elites.
