“We’ll tell you what law you’ve broken after you’ve broken it.”
see? It says it right here: “that thing you just did”
To continue from the title:
the Chinese government said on Wednesday, following new legal guidelines that mandate execution in extreme cases for “diehard” separatists.
…
Some foreign companies are considering moving Taiwanese employees out of China, as a result, sources have previously told Reuters.
“Don’t break the law. Also, we are expanding the law. You are now breaking the law.”
The law: Do what we say, don’t challenge us, give us all your wealth, we can change the law at any time.
I wonder if voting in your home countries elections would be enough to consider you a “separatist” as a Taiwanese citizen.
It blew my mind when I learned that Taiwanese travel to Mainland China for work. The media seems to portray the two countries in a non cooperative stand off.
They are and that’s not necessarily exclusive.
Taiwanese citizens are in fact Chinese citizens because Taiwan is part of China, the political reality is more complex than I think people realize, but China considers Taiwan to be part of China.
Yes but does Taiwan consider itself part of China?
Wrong. China is part of Taiwan.
Well before I got voted down, that was my point. China and Taiwan consider both territories as China. This literally means that Taiwanese see Taiwan as China, and both belief systems are in agreement about there being one China, they just disagree about how that works.
Foreigners don’t get that Taiwanese see themselves as Chinese, and it’s just infinitely more complex than they are two different countries, mostly because that’s not really the case.
