    Where are the tankies telling us that Taiwan belongs to the glorious benevolent PRC and that the views of Taiwan’s people should be disregarded because they’re all evil imperialist Nazis (or whatever it is that tankies believe)? I guess they’re all circlejerking over on Lemmy.ml

      The view of the people of the Republic of China is “maintain the status quo”. I doubt theres anyone at .ml who doesn’t share this.

      The view of unhinged liberals is “Declare independence now, we’ll fight China to the last drop of Taiwanese blood”.

        The view of tankies is “I hate imperialism when the West does it, but I love imperialism when anybody else does it”
