My wife puts on her meta raybans and listens to soft music to relax. This is so she doesn’t look like she is disconnected too much with normal headphones.

Went to HS in the late 90s. I didn’t “dress up” but I didn’t want to look grundge or a homeless person. My classmates used to call me Metro or a yuppie.
Every girl wore sweats, and every guy dressed like a hobo in the 90s.
Honestly, my fear is that if it does get released, the government will try and normalize it and the public going along with it. I fear for all the daughters and women out there.

Wha-ha-ha? If you mean their archaic dead Chinese variant that was mostly used for poetry and feudal prestigious stuff, it may not be a good comparison to mandarin as the main language. Actually many of the kanji pronunciations are how it would sound, or even whole phrases. I speak neither of the three (third being Japanese), just repeating what my sister would say (she studied lost of languages).
No, Chinese Characters was written language of Japan before Japan even had a written language. Chinese was first written and used in Japan from the 4th AD up till the 9th AD when Japan officially created their own written language. As a matter of fact, most of China wasn’t even a united country during that time.
So did South Korea.
I think the situation is similar to Japan, except much of their vocabulary is Chinese in origin. But, ahem, the variant is too a very specific dead idiom.
Once again, you’re wrong. Korea also used Chinese characters from the 4th Century till the middle of the 1400s. Fun fact, the Chinese language was used for 1100+ years and modern korean was used for around 500 years.
So your argument is flawed.
My argument is fine

I disagree with you on the semiconductors. China doesn’t need Taiwan for that. They are capable at either making it or at the very least, stealing it from Taiwan. They already can’t have anything smaller than 5nm. They are still doing well.
Unfortunately, the CCP built a large country, not because of you. It is benefiting the CCP and if you benefit indirectly, its purely by accident. If one day life isn’t very good for you, you have zero recourse except for accepting your fate. A society functions when everyone has a voice at the table.
In Taiwan, we too were colonized by multiple countries. The Dutch, Spain, and most recently Japan. Our current government that we voted for, at least for now, the benefits are all for the people. We actively prosecute sitting majors and government officials. The major of Taipei is in jail right now because of corruption.

Do what you did in 1949 when your people fought CKS. But fight for freedom.

The Western world government was voted in and picked by the people of their countries. Just like Taiwan, our democracy picked the type of government we want.
I want to ask you fellow brother. Outside of the blind pride, what has the CCP done for you lately?
jaschen306@sh.itjust.worksto Europe@feddit.org•Taiwan's Ambassador to the EU: "Taiwan has never been part of the People’s Republic of China"English11·1 day agoThe Chinese people are great. We have no problems with the Chinese people.
The problem is the CCP. Fight for your right to pick your own government that works for you.
jaschen306@sh.itjust.worksto Europe@feddit.org•Taiwan's Ambassador to the EU: "Taiwan has never been part of the People’s Republic of China"English222·1 day agoWe speak Mandarin. So did Japan before they became an independent country. So did South Korea. So your argument is flawed. In 1997, we voted in our first president. Something Sichuan didn’t do. Since then, the people of Taiwan decided the type of government we wanted. Something Sichuan didn’t do. We created a healthcare system that is for the people. Something Sichuan didn’t do.
In 2024, there was a 72% voter turn out. We are currently recalling a handful of KMT lawmakers to switch them into the DPP.
The Taiwanese government is the original China. The PRC is just a bunch of rebels that took over the land where China used to occupy and didn’t change the name. You guys went from one dictator (Chiang Kai-shek,) to another director (Xi Ping).

I had a German exchange student stay with my family. The topic of drinking and driving came up.
Me: ya, if you get caught too many times drinking and driving, the US government puts a breathalyzer tester on your car. You have to blow before you can start it.
What happens to you if you’re caught drinking and driving in Germany?"
Exchange student: That’s illegal.
Me: ya, I know. But what happens when you do it anyways?"
Exchange student: what do you mean? You can’t drink and drive. It’s illegal.
