Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Taiwan doesn't want to be part of China. Not that hard to understand. Xi is afraid if he relents on this, the people of china will realize he's a shit leader and will also revolt that's the real reason he's taking a hard stance on this. Can't have people realizing they dint have to put up with his shit.
It is quite literally Taiwan's constitutional vow and the opinion of every government theyve ever elected that they want to be part of China, or rather, are China.
This is not news, both sides have said they want a form of reunification for about 70 years now. But remarkable that you have made up a lovely little narrative for yourself to enjoy from this tired propaganda.
No.
Younger generations overwhelmingly want independence.
The issue is to renounce claims to the mainland is that China will invade, and as articles like this show that is going to remain a concern.
So status quo continues to prevail, but that’s got like 1 or 2 elections left before younger voters are too hard to ignore.
"Just 1 or 2 elections until the post you disagreed with might be correct" is the weirdest argument I've ever heard
No, the majority already support it and do not want reunification.
The election thing is until it’s official state policy.
Weird, you're telling me the elected government aren't representing the will of the people? What are they, communists?
Do you think every election runs solely on one issue?
If there's a topic more important to Taiwanese voters than "should we rule China, Tibet and Mongolia", I'd be interested to know what that is and why we don't have have constant scare coverage of it blasted at us by American media every day.
They’re already functionally independent. Claims over territory that arent held or even attempted to reclaim aren’t as important as economic issues affecting people in the day to day.
Take a look at the US, the majority of voters support climate action and green technologies yet the government is not focused on that. Eventually millenials and Zoomers will be in those positions of power and will reflect the majority of voters but not today, it’s the same for Taiwan.
Even if ey meant what you claim ey meant, that would've been a perfectly correct statement. If you need to wait until the post becomes correct, the post is now incorrect
What are you even trying to say? "If you need to wait until the post becomes correct, the post is now incorrect" is my point.
