You completely ignored everything that I was talking about, and misdirected to some other thing, about "promises", lol.
My initial post was about how Taiwan is already a country, no matter what words are on a piece of paper.
What makes something a country, is the fact that it has its own laws, borders, taxes, and army, and it has been that way for decades. That was my point.
And no words on a piece of paper change those facts on the ground.
- taylodl 5y agoEverything you said applies to U.S. states - taxes, laws, borders, governments, armies - and they’re not countries.
- stale2002 5y agoNo, actually. People living in states, still have to pay federal taxes. They still have to follow federal laws. And federal armies still have bases, in these states, and defend those borders. People living in Taiwan do not have to pay taxes to China. They do not have to follow China laws. And if a fighter plane, from china, flew across Taiwan, it would get shot down by the Taiwanese military. That is why Taiwan is a country, and is different than the states example.
