It doesn't matter how many times the Chinese regime repeats the *lies,*
or how *angry* it pretends to be,
- Taiwan 🇹🇼 is still an independent country.

It doesn't matter how many times you repeat these lies. There is no international organisation in the world that recognises Taiwan as a country and there are no countries in this world that recognises Taiwan as a country. So how in the world will Taiwan be a country ?

[@nextlastChang]

To achieve long-lasting peace, Taiwanese 🇹🇼 people need to distance themselves from the expansionist Chinese regime technologically and culturally.

In what sense is China considered expansionist ? Can you show me evidence of China's expansionism.
