Geography fail. Kinmen is not in Taiwan.
- vinay427 8y agoSource definitely needed as Wikipedia and other easily searchable sources online seem to disagree. From Wikipedia: "Kinmen or Quemoy (/kɪˈmɔɪ/; Standard Mandarin Pīnyīn: Jīnmén; Hokkien POJ: Kim-mn̂g (locally) or Kim-mûi), officially Kinmen County, is two groups of islands governed by the Republic of China (Taiwan) and located just off the southeastern coast of mainland China." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinmen https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinmen
- macintux 8y agoI think “governed by Taiwan” and “in Taiwan” could be considered two different things. Certainly in this conflict words have significant consequences.
- sho 8y agoI actually think you're being too kind. Extraordinary claims made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence, and reliable sources online don't "seem" to disagree - they quite unambiguously say the exact opposite. A low-effort comment brashly making incorrect, unevidenced assertions, presumably intended as flamebait, probably deserves a downvote and nothing else.

- rdtsc 8y ago> Geography fail. Kinmen is not in Taiwan. Ok, where is it then?
- dragonwriter 8y ago> Geography fail. Kinmen is not in Taiwan. Kinmen is in Taiwan, the polity (aka, “the free area of the Republic of China”), but is not on Taiwan, the island, which makes up ~99% of the land area of the polity.
