      @PANTIME The DRC says Mongolia is a part of China though. It's a weird political loop. If they give up their claim on Mongolia, it means they give up their claim on mainland China. I forget why, but it's leading to an awkward situation with Mongolia. I think the DRC also claims some place in Kyrgyztan.

      @@abhishekacharjee9931 alright what is communism? It's a stateless, classless, moneyless society where capital is collectively owned. It's the end goal of socialism which can only be reached on e there is enough resources for everyones needs. Socialism is workers ownership of the means of production. In China they have neither. Either they have state companies that exploit them or normal imperialist companies from the US and Europe that exploit them. Just because a country calls it something doesn't mean they are something. That's not hard to understand so the reason Americans think they are communists is just because they don't know the definition of communism and even if they called them socialist they wouldn't be right either. The only good thing with China is that it challenges US imperialism through Chinese imperialism.

      That would not really change anything, and might add more complications. According to both, there is only one China; the argument is who rules it. Recognizing both means believing there are two Chinas, which neither Beijing nor Taipei would accept (especially now; China is economically brutal to those who hint at accepting Taiwan). Full diplomatic relations with one would have to include reduced relations with the other.
      As for not recognizing their territorial claim to the third largest territory on the planet, this literally cannot happen. If they don’t own it, who does? Any answer other than “China” would anger and confuse 1/6th of the world’s population and run the risk of reviving the anti-colonialism akin to the last days of the empire. And that, no one needs nowadays.

      Another more serious block to Winter Nova’s plan (and one a lot of people forget) is what not recognizing the PRC means for Tibet. Since it was taken specifically by the PRC, does recognizing the ROC also mean recognizing the old Tibetan government? I’m not sure I agree with your interpretation of what he was saying, since a lot of countries already argue about who owns the territories you mentioned; it wouldn’t really change anything.

I recall being disappointed a few years back when I found out that Panama (where most of my relatives live) switched. I didn't realize that my home country of the US held out longer than many of its "Western" peers, though it's really not too surprising considering that the most sacred American value is capitalism.

    As a Taiwanese(ROC), I'm glad to see all the discussions here. The thing is, common Taiwanese(those who weren't fled to Taiwan after the civil war) no longer seek to be recognized as the legitimate government of China at all. But the situation is a bit complicated than that. The legitimate territory was written in our constitution. And whenever people talk about fixing the constitution, or changing the name of the country to Taiwan, Chinese government will threaten to invade Taiwan on such moves. It's almost like China forces Taiwan to continue this fight with it, so that with even the slightest step wrong, it can send an army to take over Taiwan since it's still an unsolved war.
    If they do take over Taiwan, then they can slowly dismantle Taiwan's society and economy until we are no longer a trouble to Bejing, just like what they are doing right now with Hong Kong and the Uyghurs. It's a bit sad to be living in this constant fright, but what can you do? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
