    Well yes. One is the result of a bloodthirsty and corrupt military dictatorship which is directly responsible for the deaths of millions, whereas the other is the People’s Republic of China.

    However, both are China as you can see from the names they’ve chosen for themselves.

      One is one of the most democratic countries in the world and PRC is one of the most undemocratic countries of the world.

          Democracy is when you spend several decades murdering and repressing all leftist political opposition. The more leftists to murder and suppress, the more democratic it is.

            Democracy is when the people can vote for their politicians instead of countries like the PRC where they are forced.

              Democracy is when the people can vote for their politicians instead of countries like the PRC where they are forced. a selection of candidates handpicked by the US government.

              If you were forced to vote for people would you be satisfied or dissatisfied with your government?

              Then why does China have a 95.5% approval rating for their government that spans 15 years?

              Australia also forces their people to vote, are we also “one of the most undemocratic countries in the world”

        Only the PRC is recognized as a country under international law. The RoC government squatting in Taiwan Province is legally no different to the ISIS occupation of parts of Iraq.

        The PRC is one of the few truly sovereign states in the world, able to resist American domination on its own terms. The residents of Taiwan Province get to vote between stooges of American imperialism and stooges of Japanese imperialism.

          The rest of the world is seemingly too scared to upset the PRC so many won’t recognize Taiwan. Many countries maintain unofficial relationships.

          It’s obviously a country and it’s useless discussing this further with a tankie.

          The PRC is one of the few truly sovereign states in the world, able to resist American domination on its own terms.

          How do you define “American domination” and what other countries do you consider to be affected by it? Personally I don’t feel dominated by idiots.

            Renowned Tankies, the states parties to the Montevideo Convention. Hardcore Stalinists, the lot of them!

            “It’s useless discussing with a Tankie!”, proceeds to discuss with a Tankie. Very good rhetoric, 10/10.

              So you can’t define it. What a shocker.

              Sometimes it’s just funny to discuss things with morons. It makes you feel like a genius in comparison.

                I thought it was pointless to discuss with me? Which one is it? Retract one of your two contradictory statements and I’ll happily define whatever you want.
