China reiterated its concerns about the Philippines’ plan to acquire the US Typhon missile defense system. In the foreign ministry press briefing on Thursday, December 26, the spokesperson of the ministry, Mao Ning, claimed it is a “strategic and offensive” weapon which may fuel arms race in the region. China also restated its long-standing demand for the withdrawal of the system already deployed near its borders.
How can they do an independence campaign if they’re independent? Real question, not trolling. I’m not well informed on the geopolitics.
They’re not independent, no country in earth recognizes them as such. China calls it an autonomous region like Tibet or Hong Kong, they’re still fully subject to the mainlands laws, but they decide how to tax and what to do with taxes.
There is an independence party in their local Congress, but that’s about it. If they use the weapons the US gifted China to declare independence, then yes China will ‘invade,’ the same way the FBI invaded sovereign citizen’s homes in the US.
I never knew. Wild story.

This is all new to me.
Taiwan’s own constitution states that it is a province of China. The disagreement is, about who are the rightful government of all China. The western media industrial complex always fail to point that bit out.
Another thing they would rather you didn’t know is that Taiwan also claims the same territorial waters in the South China Sea, the same nine dash line, that the rest of China claims.
