🧵 Why Taiwan Is Not a Settler Colony (as some baizuo wrongly claim): There's a growing trend of baizuo projecting the Sakaiist settler colonial framework onto Taiwan. This is lazy, ahistorical, and ultimately harmful to serious understanding of Chinese history 🧵

chinese people know the difference between northeasterners and southerners and californians and midwesterners. they know about american racial divides. what do you know about northern vs southern china. you're still doing a canto accent to make fun of a beijinger

ukraine was just a rehearsal, this is going to be the party line for everyone threatened by china and russia for the next few decades

even at my most sympathetic to this milieu I think trying to inject 'decolonization' into debates about Taiwanese independence is just insane. the island has an extant aboriginal population, it doesn't 'belong' to a 'Taiwanese people'!
