I apologize for saying "how good it is." I was in a rush and couldn't think of a better phrase.

I just read through the article from the Washington Post you linked. That really is bad and I believe that the Trump government should not have treated the (although illegal) immigrants. The grim appearance of that facility really isn't something that the immigrants should have faced when they set foot on the US. However, compare that to the situation in Xinjiang. Here is an opinion post from the Washington Post. What China is doing to its Uyghurs is genocide. Not that it justifies anything that the US have done to its immigrants, but in comparison what the US is doing seem pretty mild.

I am not going to shut up. I am not going to shut up at anyone's request. I also believe that their comment had a certain degree of truth to it.

I can accept you claiming that Taipei is a city in China, but the Wikipedia article you link to does not seem to agree.

Yes, yes I am.

The life expectancy of China in 2021 was 77.13 - not that much higher than the US.

Do you know what a sovereign nation is? Whether a state has a seat in the UN is not an indicator of sovereignty. By the way, do you know why the ROC does not have a seat in the UN? The old China, ROC, quitted preemptively so as to not get kicked out by the new China, PRC. By your logic, evidently, a nation can decide whether another nation is sovereign.

How constructive.

Ah yes, let's just print more money to pay off people's debts. Why didn't we think of this earlier?
