Condemnation of Israel's response is not "fringe politics" (nor indeed "Hamas defence") and if you believe it to be so then whatever media bubble you've been placed in is working, other than this place. I'd be glad of that of I were you. America makes up a loud and influential portion of political opinion but it is 4% of the world and even there not a universal truth.

If you consider anyone with a different politics to you to be "fringe" or a "bad actor" then it is you who are not useful, not them.

propaganda

This would be ”making you look at the shit Israel has been doing", right?

Talking about reunification has been the status quo for 70 years.

I'm sure America will be shocked when eventually it turns out that arming to the teeth one of its occupations beside a neighbor that it hates results in an endless war, I mean that's only happened like 3 or 4 times, but until this story isnt one that could have been published any time in the last 70 years, no, it isn't newsworthy.

And? Does "status quo" sound like a weekly news item to you?

I fully understand the situation. I don't understand how the only thing that unites left and right in America is bring utterly terrified of China to the point where a literal unemotional reading of a statement that accords with both states' policies is news, and someone saying it isn't news must be suppressed as a bad actor or something.

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.

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.

Weird, you're telling me the elected government aren't representing the will of the people? What are they, communists?

How is that wrong? And I literally made the distinction in my post if you insist on it.

How is going from two Chinese administrations ruling China to one Chinese administration ruling China anything other than reunification?

At no point was it suggested they want to be part of PRoC.

Both sides want one China. Both sides claim to be the only China. Both sides say this in every official state policy. Just like this one. That's why this story is literally not news, except where news can be defined as "things published to rile up American military spending".
