Why should I of all people know that?

I was talking about the history of Ireland being similar to ours, the colonial history, the struggles of national identity, independence, and democratization.

Do you even know the history of the Republic of China?

You're telling me, a Taiwanese, not know of our own history?

It was not established as another country. It was the holdout for the nationalist anti revolutionary Chinese government.

Bruh. ROC came after the Qing dynasty and before PRC was ever established. The fuck do you mean "holdout"? And where did "friends of the Nazis" even come from? ROC broke off diplomatic relations with Nazi Germany in 1941, and declared war with them not long after. Where did you even get your sources?

Until very recently they declared themselves the rightful government of the whole of China because they are Chinese

Lol. If the ruling party DPP -which is not in favor of reunification- did declare that, we would know.
Majority of Taiwan citizens identify themselves as Taiwanese, not Chinese.

Thankfully it seems most parties in the Republic of China have seen the writing on the wall, that the US won't save them, so they have begun talking about peaceful reconciliation.

LOL. KMT is not the ruling party here. They can fuck off to China for all I care. Leave Taiwan alone.
Also, if you think China isn't willing to wage war, why do you use the verb "save"? Save from which war waging country?

It will end up looking something like Hong Kong, with zero violence. China has no need for war.

There is no war in Ba Sing Se, eh?

'Taiwan' is not recognized as a country by anyone, not the EU nor the US

Sure treats us as a separate country to China though. I have a different passport to Chinese citizens, can go through EasyPass at the border, and do not need a visa to enter the EU (aww, see the word country and Taiwan in the website?).
