Aren't there like four different Chinas?
You have the modern mainland, which is where all these problems exist, the rural mainland which this probably doesn't affect as much, Hong Kong which is autonomous, and Chinese Taipei which might as well give up the ghost by this point.
- Simulacra 8y agoChinese Taipei is Taiwan, an independent nation. As much as China would like to claim otherwise, Taiwan is not China.
- bena 8y agoThey claim to be China though. The ROC see themselves as the legitimate government in exile. Both the PRC and the ROC believe in "One China", they just disagree as to who is the "real" China.
- Simulacra 8y agoThat is true, so then if Taiwan sees itself as the official government in exile, then wouldn't that mean China proper is an extension of Taiwan, and not the other way around? :)
