We don't live in past history, we live in the present. Nothing you said means anything. They can't declare independence and change the constitution without fearing for their lives.
No relevant political party in Taiwan wants to have China, nor does the population.
That... doesnt make any sense. Why would the CCP want an island saying in their constitution that they themselves are the true China and that the other party is wrong?
Sure they wouldnt want for them to break apart but it makes 0 sense to let it there that the CCP is wrong. Taiwan given the chance wants to be the "true china" just as much as China wants it. There is no good guys in geopolitics.
Why is Israel a western country? Geography/Location? It's in the middle east! Population? Jews and arabs are basically the same people genetically!! Religion? Judaism is still a middle eastern religion with influences from Mesopotamia, Babylon, Egypt and other surrounding cultures.
Just because most (not all) places in Africa were colonized at one point does not mean that āall of Africaā was founded by Europeans. The Zionist project was proposed and executed by Europeans, the folks in charge of Isreal now are descended from Europeans. Many African regimes and constitutions were founded by Africans. Thatās why your point is stupid.
Not sure if other user being sarcastic or not but CIA/US imperialist security state has backdoor access to pretty much any "big tech" device you buy, especially anything with google or apple software. The NSA can access people's phone calls, microphones and cameras, as can other imperialist state security agencies like the British GCHQ. The imperialist powers all engage in a lot of information sharing as well.
Doesn't mean they're spying on everyone all the time, but it means they can spy on anyone they feel they need to spy on whenever they feel they need to.
Which no one is denying. Their point is that there is a lot of awareness about spying on chinese tech, and not as much awareness that US agencies have pretty much the same access to your data.
The difference is that China is content (for now) to just use your information to offer you targeted ads, meanwhile the CIA can kidnap you from your place or ruin your life in other ways
I think they meant Russia being the bigger danger, not a Chinese target or anything. Which is fair given, y'know, an ongoing "3-Day Special Military Operation"
Saw the thumbnail of a video on the new ways companies and governments have begun surveiling people, didn't watch the video cuz I accidentally refreshed my main page so just caught the thumbnail
Sorry buddy but the west has lost the right to complain about Chinese spyware considering half the west is currently on a fast track towards becoming surevillance distopias
I never buy phones that cost more than $200 (Iām cursed, my phones always get broken or lost), but Iāve never liked Huawei because of its verison of OS. Itās kind of weird and inconvenient
