^LOL this is one of the first pictures that come up when you type "taiwan" into google.

it's the reason the US sells missiles and other arms to taiwan. it's all to protect wm/af relationships.

LOL. That's the perfect analogy for the US, China, Taiwan triangle. It's like a sellout Asian female who wants to stay with her White "knight" but the Asian guy wants her back.

^ that's a pretty pathetic analogy i must say

But I think you're being inaccurate, even in its weakest state the KMT refused US bases and advisors in Taiwan , I respect that. can't say the same for some other countries *roll eyes*

As if that doesn't happen in China.

It is natural for nations with common values to love one another.

However I know what kind of feelings you want to incite among Taiwanese men. I'm sorry to tell you that it doesn't work that way. Ideally it should work, that I understand. But this method is kinda ancient. Taiwan's is not a medieval society where the issue of individual mating is escalated to national survival.

To further explain, an average Taiwanese man would find your picture rather inconspicuous, but find the following pictures amusing. Robots, legs, harlem.

You're positive feelings for KMT made you say things that you wish were true. True, many 2nd Gen Chinese in Taiwan are anti-American. But you can't assume too much just because they have a bit of an identity/loyalty issue, which is common for a lot of 2nd-gen Chinese immigrants anyway.




You see, in reality, KMT or post-49 ROC government haven't had the status to refuse nor demand for US bases and advisors. It is an agent of US military. US shipped them to Formosa.

The new American Institute in Taiwan, currently under construction, is a 65,000 meter square compound in Neihou, Taipei city. The lease is 99 years.

^ to the best of my knowledge the AIT serves as what would be otherwise an embassy if the United States and Taiwan had formal relations.

if this is true then you're being terribly misleading.

And secondly I'm not sure how it is that you feel you're qualified to call other people's opinions "identity issue".

Lol, Devils666 Taiwan is not America's b!tch... Young people in Taiwan like Japan pop culture more than the U.S.

No, but Taiwan is a b!tch of a b!tch, which is worse.
Since Taiwan is Japan's b!tch, and Japan is America's b!tch...


relax, im only playing lol.

so true. taiwan at least doesn't have american GI's stationed there. i respect taiwan for that.

White guy with 3/10 girls? What the fuk is he thinking?

Girl in white is semibangable.

Just replace the american with a russian guy

Lold. I'll probably one of those American GIs stationed in Japan in the future.

Taiwan is sovereign Chinese territory.

America must not interfere in the Chinese Civil War.

CCP has won the mainland, and Taiwan is just a small obstable to Chinese reunification and the resolution of the Chinese civil war.

Foreign barbarians beware, we will sink your carriers, shoot down your satilletes, shut down your nation's electrical grid, and shoot ballastic nuclear MIRV off Los Angelos if you dare to intervene in the Chinese civil war.

We must ensure barbarians give China the proper respect it deserves as the world's leading superpower of the 21st century.

I don't see anything wrong in that pic.
I only see happy looking young students (maybe) in there.
Is there anything wrong with my eyes?

1. Misleading? Sorry.. Did I misled you into believing that it is an embassy, or that it isn't an embassy? Is it? or is it not?

2. I did not call your opinions "identity issue". You mentioned that KMT refused US bases and advisors. I couldn't understand why you thought that was possible at all, unless you derived this conclusion from the anti-US sentiment exhibited by this group.

Well I would have been lead to believe that the American Institute was an arm of the US military, which it is not AFAIK, because you listed it in your argument as supporting evidence that there are US military installations in Taiwan...

er.. you don't have to be sorry its not a big deal

The pictures showed that, in the past US had military advisor groups in Formosa. AIT's new site suggests that the current AIT site is no longer sufficient to carry out future tasks.

I find it amussing how hardcore TIers are always so free in using the term Formosa. If they can't be Japanese, they rather be Dutch. LOL. Identity issues for sure. sad. Just sad.

//Oh yeah, stop trying to claim Hokien or whatever as "Taiwanese". Its one thing to be ashamed of your heritage, but another in trying to hijack parts of our language, writing culture etc. you are pathetic.

The reason why White/Japanese/whatever people love Taiwan is because there seems to be a lot of @$$ kissing self-haters on that island. I don't know, must be something with the water or the soil to breed such scum to the chinese nation. I have some relatives there still, but the ones that have long moved away are nothing like those you meet online or the fresh FOBs who would do anything before admitting their Chinese ancestry. I remember back in my high school days, there was this new Taiwanese girl who would not even use the word "China" to describe the location of Taiwan on a map.

When asked: "where is Taiwan"".
She would reply something along the lines of: "Draw a line from Japan to the Philipines and Taiwan is somewhere on that line ".
Person who asked: "where?"

Geez! Its beyond these people to say: "Of the eastern seabaord of China"!

Heavan forbid they get associated with China or something.

Some one needs to do pushups

Oh yes, being nice to foreigners as they visit must equate to kissing @$$, oh how barbaric of them to be nice people.
According to that girl's description, she wasn't exactly incorrect... There's more than one way to describe a location. Not using China in her description doesn't really mean anything.

they took a group pic. he doesnt even have his arms around anyones shoulder. he looks timid as hell. man, what kinda of drugs are some of you on...

Sounds like someone needs to take a yoga class and surround themselves with positive people.

"Zhong guo" or "Chino" or "Sina".. hmm?

You ARE sad. lol

I thought you'd enjoy this picture:

"Formosa gets ready" 1953...


Earlier in the year 1869...(the poster's style seems to be much later)


Fastforword to 1915...

^Whats your point? Trying to prove your Dutch ancestry?

The fundamental difference, you see, is that terms like "Sina" and "China" are names the world uses to describe what we know as "Zhong Guo". There is nothing to be done about it, it is out of our hands. "Taiwan" on the other hand is the universially known name attached to a province of the PRC/ROC. Only TIers, like yourself, would refer to Taiwan as "Formosa". Hence my post about the map drawing girl and my disdain for your ilk.

Some Western guy: Where are you from?

Badparticle fresh off boat: Formosa

Western guy: Where?

Badparticle: FORMOSA!

western guy: Where is that?

Badparticle: You know Japan? You know Philipines? Draw a line from bottom of Japan to Philipines. Formosa is somewhere on that line.

Westrern guy: Whats the Philipines?

duh. As we're speaking and writing in English, it is quite right to use "China" in a sentence instead of "zhong duo".
Similarly it is okay to call it "Japan" in an English context. Insisting on Nippon or Nihon in an English forum is stupid.
And who says i must stop calling it Korea and start calling it Hanguk, in English!!

Gosh you're so sina-centric even as you try to use English. Why don't you go lecture a German about Deutschland vs. Germany?

As a Taiwanese I the Formosa naturally and properly. FYI go back and check how I used it. I can tell you that your b!tching means nothing to any Taiwanese at all.

Do yourself (and all of you Chinese-fasicts who talk non-sense) a favour. The origin of the name Formosa isn't even dutch.

It's alright if you have no clue why and when Formosa is used. You're a Chinese anyway.
FYI. KMT knew they were being shipped to Formosa back in those days.

This,
this,

and this

LOL. You use Taiwanese and Formosan in the same sentence. But what do i care. Call yourself by your Dutch/Japanese name or whatever. Be a good little pet and make your master happy. I am done here.

ita warm and tan asian women

Yah It's about time you're done throwing a tantrum at Taiwanese chat.

With your intensity of sino-centrism, you might as well stop using English and stop using the Roman alphabet to spell your pinyin. Go burn some railways FGS.

del

they like anything that is hype. be it taiwanese, hakka or aboriginal itself, or overseas like japanese, american or korean. if china can become more hype in later times, they can all join into the world of the youngsters in asian pacific in this pop culture



what is in the pictures? manchu lords reprimanding the chinese subjects?



ya, i dun understand what is the difficulty. she just point to taiwan and just say hey that is my country - taiwan. easy peasy, and no need to use the word "China". if need to, easy too, look at the map, see this black line, this is the state boundary between taiwan and china. yah, i know her country is small, but a small country is still a country. singaporeans and vaticans had never feel being a lesser being compared to the siberians.



ROC is the term of sovereignty under taiwan at this point of time, not PRC,
so i'm not sure if you r refering to ROC or PRC.



that is the reverse of the tone when china had been asking to be selected to host 2008 olympics game.
china promise to be low profile for the tibetan-chinese conflicts and also claim that they will never try to seek hegemony

del

Sorry dude...those pics are made by Westerners. The term "Formosa" was also made by Portuguese Colonists. In contrast, "Taiwan" has been a native Taiwanese term of aboriginal origin. I can't never understand the mentality of TIs who in one hand screaming for independence, while prefer to use a colonial name such as "Formosa" to call her own motherland......I suppose you TIers just can't lose up you colonial slave mentality, can you?

Don't pretend you understand Taiwan, Santa.....

According to Taiwan's Constitution (the supreme law of the land), ROC does include both Taiwan and mainland China....

Yes indeed, you can never understand.
That's because you are a Chinese fascist. With your sino-centric world view, you'd have a hard time explaining why you're communicating in English.

Go home and read your favorite Chinese dynasty once more. There you'll find comfort.

Duh.....b/c this forum is a English language preferred site.
So everyone writes in English....Is it that hard to understand?.....Hahahhahaha

No one good counter-argument from your post.....
Swearing aint going to help you colonial ball suckers at all.....LMAO

^There is no point arguing with him. I have already tried to explain to him the difference between accepting what is a common name and self-labeling with a relic of the colonial past. He is beyond shame. I bet like Li teng Hui, he also have a secret Japanese name.

Being a fascist Chinese, you do not even qualify for a proper argument about this topic. And that is why you're not getting any from me. Most of my answers were provided to the other Chinese earlier and he was a pleasant guy to talk to. You, on the other hand just want to troll. Whether you like it or not it is too late for you to add anything to the topic.

But since you're on the verge of going hysterical, should you not stop using one of white people's languages and go play kung-fu with your Chinese buddies? Watch Jacky Chen struggle in English and blame him for trying to go Hollywood and failing. Go buy a one-way ticket to China and sniff out every single white, male ESL teacher and make your ideology a reality.

?
Since when you ever gave a coherent argument to anyone at first place? LOL...
Since when colonial ball sucking TIers are educated enough to give coherent arguments anyway? LOL....


Your lengthy mumbling proves what? Prove you are good at giving incoherent reply? LMAO

badparticle is probably another democracy wingnut implanted in Taiwan and married to cause conflict for the sake of US interests. He's probably an ESL teacher who spews US propaganda to little children and is married to a Taiwanese woman.

I noticed you were identified as a troll in Korean Chat, very recently.

Just take it easy.

doing some profiling huh. It's alright.

Did the folks at Korean Chat and Japanese Chat accept your ideology and fall under your banner? I saw you working hard on those forums.
You have a better chance there.
