    There is currently one China. It just goes by the name Taiwan. The CCP is as Chinese as my local takeout.

      You must be one of those people that can’t accept when civil wars are lost. I’m assuming you’re also waiting for the South to rise again.

        Yes Lost Causers are famously aware of world history. That must be it.

          If you’re aware of history, then how exactly is China not China? I must’ve missed a century somewhere

            Read up on the resolution of the Chinese Civil War and the (nominal) government-in-exile that is Taiwan

              At what point has enough time gone on before Taiwan is no longer a government in exile? Maybe 5-10 years, but that war ended in 1949. If you really think China and Taiwan should fight to death to determine who’s the true ruler than I think that’s pretty fucked up. Maybe you think the US should be a British colony again? Or maybe Ukraine should be part of Russia again? At this point the CCP has controlled China longer than the Kuomintang did, so I think that means they win.

                I think Taiwan should wait out authoritarian communism’s inevitable collapse and then come to the rescue with real solutions.
