Hey, what's the name for a hyper-nationalist state obsessed with heirarchy, irredentism, state-backed industry, and cultural and ethnic hegemony?
Texas?
You ain't wrong
What industry?
Texas is mostly oil money
And calculators/bombs
Ranch dressing
Traveling to Taiwan to cry about them not being slaves. Someone is going for the social credit combo multiplier.
Yup! That’ll persuade people,
Chinese nationalists don't try to persuade people. Their goal is to overpower you (physically or verbally) because they think it will force submission out of you.
It's called "Wolf Warrior diplomacy", named after a popular Chinese military film franchise.
It's known locally as the "Hexbear Technique."
Edit: To the person who flagged this as a low-effort joke, I can't lie. But I did laugh out loud.
Doesn’t seem to have worked, either. FTA:
Later, police officers arrived at the scene and persuaded the couple to leave.
Well, nobody ever said Wolf Warrior diplomacy is successful in achieving one's geopolitical objectives. But it does make the person doing it feel powerful.
Typical entitled behavior from citizens of the world's most disgusting totalitarian regime.
Just kick them off the island. Literally. Without involving a boat or plane.
Like a trebuchet?
Involving a superior siege engine sounds extremely fun.
In this case perhaps a catapult would be better, it may be inferior but as such it will involve a longer swim back home to lesser Taiwan
Don't you mean the "Communist-occupied unfree area of the Republic of China"?
Western Taiwan
The term I used is an official term used by the Taiwanese government.
Classic Chinese tourists.
+50 citizen score.
Everyone wants to be israel
DAMN SON
What happened did Israel bomb your son too?
If the American tourists don't get fucking cracking, they're going to lose their title as "Most annoying foreigners that treat the locals like shit" title to Chinese tourists. I think they've already lost that battle in SE Asia.
Belong to China
Wait, don’t you mean, a part of China?
Cities and counties aren’t property…right?

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.
