    “Chinese crap” is what allows America to build F-35 fighter jets, the same crap that also commands 45 to 50 percent of total shipbuilding globally.

    Taiwanese =/= Chinese ;)

      It’s not commanded in Taiwan, do you think 50% of the global shipbuilding could be done in a small island? lmao

      Furthermore, “Taiwan” is a province of the People’s Republic of China with no separate status according to resolution 2758 of the United Nations:

        But seriously though, the people of Taiwan do not consider themselves to be Chinese.

        It’s kind of funny, China acquires regions and demands the people adopt their nationality. Meanwhile, with the US the various states willingly adopted the nationality. Hell Puerto Rican people still have to press that point, in spite of being the 50th state for over 100 years, but they do so willingly - meanwhile the people of Hong Kong do what they can to flee the Chinese invasion.
