Imagine being in Taiwan and having full access to information about China and the west and still shilling for China. Those types of people should be looking for a dominatrix, not a political philosophy...

I think they might be using "mainland Taiwan" as a way of saying China - Taiwan is an island which China thinks is "theirs" for some reason.

Tbf, it was theirs - until it wasn't. At this point, it is a bit like the British were insisting that the US was theirs.

You've got it backwards - Taiwan (the Republic of China) actually used to control the mainland before the Chinese civil war that resulted in the modern-day government (the People's Republic of China) taking control. Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_Civil_War

"Taiwan" was never the administrative centre of China, come on. Some of the Chinese ruling classes fled there after the revolution. It's like saying the capital of Germany was always Bonn.

Sorry, bad phrasing. I intended to say "The current government of Taiwan"
