yes, it is, but because china doesn't recognize taiwan as a country and china is very powerful, no one wants to publicly say that they think taiwan is a country. but it is. it's complicated.
台湾加油

translation: stephen chow! stephen chow!
(stephen chow is a hong kong actor)
>>57660138
Literal translation for people trying to learn chinese
Taiwan put petrol (jia you 加油means to put petrol but it also is used for encouragement.?)
>>57660481
Also to answer OP, it's the closest thing to a country without technically being one. Why? Cause fuck China that's why
>>57660305
>stephen chow!
We Japanese call him Chau sin chee
This is first time that I heard stephen chow
Are taiwan people just chinese people who claim to be different kind of like japanese and koreans?
>>57660545
Taiwan are just chinks in denial, like singapooreans who are Malay in denial
I don't really understand. China just pretends to have power but don't actually do anything there right? Does HK work the same way?
>>57660545
more like china = north korea, taiwan = south korea. same people divided by politics
>>57660481
mostly meant for encouragement, it's a metaphor
>>57660517
well we call him stephen chow over here
>>57660545

>>57660664
yes, just way less intense
>>57660481

Why does Hong Kong have its own flag?
>>57660841
cuz its a country???
>>57659810
NO it an island. The country is named Republic of China.
>>57660875
No its not its a part of China
>>57659810
No.
>>57660875
nope, hong kong is not a country.
>>57660893
well, sorta
>>57660841
it's a special administrative region (SAR) of china.
quick history lesson of hong kong:
in 1898, china signed a lease to britain giving them control of hong kong for 99 years.
in 1997, that lease ran out. so hong kong signed an agreement with china that would let them remain *basically* independent.
essentially, hong kong is part of china, but hong kong is self-governing.
How does HongKong think including in china?
does HongKong want independent?or not ?
Or still they think HongKong is in british?
>>57660841
because its a dependency, just like Isle of Man and Gibraltar have their own flags on /int/

most hong kongers want it to stay the way it is: self-governing, but part of china
some hong kongers want independence
hong kongers definitely dont want to be back in the british empire
>>57660925
>well, sorta
No, not sorta, you fucking retard. It is. China just lets Taiwan 'act' like a normal country, where in the people elect their govts and shit. But no amount of Western pressure will ever change the fact that Taiwan is the place the coward Chiang Kaishek and his supporters fled to when they couldn't Plow the Mao.
It's Chinese clay, and will always be Chinese clay.
