Lol and the US does nothing of these? Puerto Rico, Hawaii and so on was just always American?
Hi, it’s now 2024. To the best of my knowledge the independence movements of Puerto Rico and Hawaii are currently minimal (not non-existent, but even Texas has some weirdo secessionists). While the circumstances of those territories becoming a part of the US may be dicey, “our ancestors made a mistake” isn’t really a good reason to cut those places away entirely if modern-day people generally wish to keep the current arrangement.
Taiwan, on the other hand, generally wishes to remain independent from China. False equivalence.
yes, as the last vote clearly states that the whole island wants to be independent.

Nice refute to my relevant stats from the last election.
Lotsa misinformation coming from that general area.
Assuming the words themselves are accurate, there is still a difference between wanting to “engage more” with Beijing and wanting them to swallow your country whole. Not to mention all the other issues one may vote over
At least I gave you a source with (even Western media). Now you give me a source on how unequivocal Taiwan only wants to be independent.
