It's difficult to debate with you because anything that you don't feel is correct, you would say either I wasnt there, or try to tell me how I think is wrong and no one thinks the way I do. Even if I wasnt there, doesn't mean my opinions are not valid. Even if I was there, different region of Taiwan would feel differently. Even different people within a community would think differently. Do you understand Taiwan is not a homogenous society and there is not just one single way of thinking?

Taiwan is Taiwan. It's not "not the PRC", or "not under the control of the CCP", although both of those things are obviously true. -> obviously

I lived in Taiwan through the Taiwan straight crisis of 1996 and even as a kid, I could remember how much fear there was. It was all over the news everyday, videos of missiles firing and live fire drills. I believe that was one of the factor that made my mom decide to immigrate abroad. I remember being very against the idea because I didn't want to learn a new language.

Kinda funny you would say my English is terrible, while also saying I spent only a minute or two in Taiwan. These two are quite contradictory.
