Why I dislike Taiwanese.

[Yizhi]

the Taiwanese i met in real life were already 'mainlandized'.
the Taiwanese i met on internet were.... bipolar, some are basically extremely right wing Japanese ( ), while some are even more pro mainland than mainlanders ourselves.... so @welcomeJason it's dangerous to generalize 'Taiwanese' since their background are very different.

There is a saying in Japan: If you want to be a rich man , marry Taiwanese woman ! They will hold your money so you don't spend ! ha ha ha ! Is there truth to this ?

doesn't have to be Taiwanese, any Han Chinese will do the trick...... the crazy culture of saving.

Wow,now I got afraid of NGOs, official network accounts, institutions located around me. Are they doing the spies work everyday ?Does that include the foreign students and teachers encountered everyday？What can I trust as you say or maybe I have been brainwashed by them.

That's very true and that was in my mind when I first start reading the thread.

There are a dedicated amount of Westerners in Taiwan that are fluent in Chinese and are on every social network known to sow discord, spread hate messages and create disharmony among the peoples of the Greater China. They know very well some historical sensitivities and are expert in agitation.

That's I know for fact as I have been studying and working professionally in such environments for years.

These people is very much like that disgusting Shangahi expat website that is one of the most racist web platforms I have ever seen.

Hence, @welcomeJason , bro, be wary of these implants, namely, English teachers (fat wh*** pigs, as people here often refer to, although I do not approve the terminology), academicians and journalists (often working as translators in Taiwanese media).

There are patriotic Taiwanese, but, just like in Hong Kong, they are the silent majority.

Taiwan has gone through (during the DPP rule, especially) a process of indigenization (Sp?) through education to create a distinct Taiwan identity, that's true, but, as China rises in strength and prominence, there is also a growing sense of pride and affection toward the Motherland. This could be seen in various polls which indicate that Taiwan's young graduates are overwhelmingly willing to work in China.



The said website is a Turkish online paper. They refer to their own "news desk" as the origin/source of the article. It is like this: One guy in the news site picks up a picture from Xinhua (among many others under the same Xinhua report), and writes down his own interpretation and it becomes news. That's why no credible news source picked up the news, except Turks. Do not be fooled by the name Worldbulletin, it is just a translation of the main Turkish news site.

yea,I found some weird Turkish guys here.

Taiwan was formally incorporated into the Qing Dynasty in 1683. It was then ceded by China to Japan in perpetuity in the Treaty of Shimonoseki of 1895. At the end of World War II, it was then surrendered by Japan in 1945 to the Kuomintang (KMT) Administration of the Republic of China. After the declaration of the People's Republic of China in 1949, Taiwan and some neighboring islands continued to be controlled by Republic of China forces. In its official view, the People's Republic of China (PRC) government considers Taiwan to be a province of China. According to the PRC, it is the sole legitimate government of China, and thus should also rule Taiwan. According to the PRC argument, the government of the Republic of China ceased to represent the sovereignty of China when it lost control of the Chinese mainland between 1949 and 1950. Thus, the PRC argues, the PRC succeeded to the sovereignty of China in 1949-1950, including that over Taiwan, although Taiwan continued to be under the administration of the old Republic of China government.
Anti-Secession Law
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Anti-Secession Law (simplified Chinese: 反分裂国家法; traditional Chinese: 反分裂國家法; pinyin: Fǎn-Fēnliè Guójiā Fǎ) is a law of the People's Republic of China (PRC), passed by the third conference of the 10th National People's Congress. It was ratified on March 14, 2005, and went into effect immediately. President Hu Jintao promulgated the law with Presidential Decree No. 34.[1] Although the law, at ten articles, is relatively short, it was met with much controversy because it formalized the long-standing policy of the PRC to use "non-peaceful means" against the "Taiwan independence movement" in the event of a declaration of independence.
The official Republic of China (ROC) view is that it did not cease to exist in 1949 and has continued to function as a sovereign political entity in Taiwan to the present day, making the relationship between the PRC and ROC similar to that between other partitioned states (such as North Korea and South Korea or Ireland and Northern Ireland). The PRC's position has been acknowledged by most nations, by adopting some version of the "One-China policy", although some nations[which?] prefer to take an ambiguous approach on this issue. More extreme advocates of Taiwan independence oppose both the PRC's and the ROC's claim to Taiwan and the legality of the Chinese sovereignty over Taiwan.

Agent Orange - Vietnam War - HISTORY.com

American people are the one voting in the government that did this to your country. And the first person coming back to vietnam will also be the congress and political american.

What American people exactly? The ones many decades ago? So he should hate all Americans existing today because of what happened 40+ years ago? I didn't even exist at the time of the war. In addition, many Americans at that time didn't want war with Vietnam. if I were alive at that time, I wouldn't have wanted war either. The American govt actions didn't always = the the mindset of American people.

Should I hate all existing Japanese and Germans today because of what their govts did during WW2? Of course not. So @BoQ77 isn't dumb at all. He's realistic, pragmatic and isn't stuck back in time like some of the hyper-nationalists here.

Vietnam will be one of my very first stops on my upcoming trip to Asia. I look forward to it !!

Like @Yizhi says, it is not practical to generalize. I gave the examples but they are not universal. There are certainly honest expats, students, professionals. You know, it takes just a few bad people to spread rumors and spew hatred. They are visible because they make the most noise. Just as anti-China folks in Taiwan or the HK protesters. They are the minority, but make the most noise.

What is important is to be politically conscious of the situation.

Taiwan leader Ma says cross-Strait relations to go further
February 13, 2015

Taiwan's leader Ma Ying-jeou said on Friday cross-Strait relations will likely go further during his term despite "small ripples".

In a TV interview on Friday afternoon, Ma said cross-Strait relations did have "small ripples" but that was not fundamental.

Commenting on the progress of the cross-Strait relations since he took office, Ma said cross-Strait relations must be judged from a much longer perspective and in a broader context.

He said some issues may not be solved all at once and need to be taken step by step.

The current setback in cross-Strait relations was much smaller than those seen before he took office.

"So we must not be too worried or lose our faith," Ma said.

He noted the purpose of cross-Strait policies was to provide a better environment for the next generation and all need to face the issue, otherwise it would be a "lose-lose" situation.

If Taiwan fails to continue on this path, the future will really be very difficult, Ma said.

Ma's second term as Taiwan's leader will end in May next year.

PS: Guys, ignore the hateful Indian troll above and report his insult to China. He is just becoming a regular, China-obsessed Indian that we see on daily basis.

@Hu Songshan , sir, please take care of the Indian filth above.

Many Americans at that time didn't want war with Vietnam. if I were alive at that time, I wouldn't have wanted war either. The American govt doesn't always = the American People.

So don't act like it was "the American Voter" that was purely responsible for what the American Govt did.

Should I hate all Japanese and Germans because of what their govts did during WW2? Of course not. So @BoQ77 isn't dumb at all. He's realistic, pragmatic and isn't stuck back in time like some of the hyper-nationalists here.

Jane Fonda - looking at American aircrafts over Hanoi city in 1972
Will anyone tell me how Vietnamese should dislike her at that moment ?

In this July 1972 file photo, American actress and activist Jane Fonda is surrounded by soldiers and reporters as she sings an anti-war song near Hanoi during the Vietnam War.
