Hi everyone,
When I first created this community, I thought I would use Lemmy as a reddit replacement, when lemmy had only a few hundred users. I ended up going in another direction and abandoning social media altogether. Lucky I got some message from a user on another website to ask me to handover the moderation.
So please reply to this post with the name of a community member who you think should be moderator, or nominate yourself. I'll try and go through the profiles a bit to see if the users are active, and select a few mods (2-3) to handle the sub.
Cheers
EDIT: I'll leave this post open at least until after the weekend, so that people have some time to respond.
EDIT2: Three additional mods have been selected.
You seem to have a very warped view of history.
I do not know what you mean with the use of 'always'. Taiwan was first inhabited by their aborigine people and Hakka immigrants, until the Dutch colonised it around 1624. Then it was annexed by the Qing dynasty. This lead to many many rebellions against their imperial rule. Later it was seceded to Taiwan around the end of the 19th century, and since then it has never been controlled by the PRC.
In recent years China has annexed Tibet, and in the past Taiwan, Manchuria, Korea, and parts of Vietnam to name a few. Where do you think they got their territory from? The people already living there happily gave it away? It was conquered.
China also has a history filled with internal strive, infighting, and constant attempts at greater control. China is already the size where it can be considered an empire. They might not have colonised, but around the time when naval technology was advanced enough to actually start colonies, China was already starting to fall behind some European nations. So your point is quite irrelevant.
