The Republic of China IS A Country, event though most of the world would not like it to be. F the PRC.

Say it!: Taiwan holds the legitimate government of all of China, while China’s government is the heir of one of the greatest mass murderers in history.

You’ve got to be kidding me!
Are ALL the top 100 American industries afraid of what China thinks?
To: Oldeconomybuyer
Taiwan is an independent country. American companies are cowards.

Guess what. The Republic of China IS a nation — and the legitimate government of all of China.

All they see is limitless cheap labor and a market 4 times the size of the US that they want to sell to.

It started when the International Olympic Committee caved and forced them to march as “Chinese Taipei” with the Olympic flag instead of the ROC Flag.

Taiwan has a population of 24 million potential Snickers customers. Red China has 1.4 billion potential Snickers eaters. If your job is to sell candy bars as opposed to making foreign policy, the apology makes sense.

I always thought Taiwan was a country after it split from China.

Since Nixon, official US policy has been that Taiwan belongs to Red China.
It was the price he paid for the opening of China.

Aside from politicians like Nixon whose legacy is highly questionable IMO, I’m not sure what is the just and true status of Taiwan.
I always thought they had a right to be independent from the ruthless and deadly Chinese Communist Government and Regime.

Selling out the natural rights of 24 million people into
essentially bondage, doesn’t sound like reasoned moral
judgement to me.
Sometimes it goes beyond the financial considerations.
I know you make a sound argument, but I sure don’t agree
with it.

I don’t know if I agree with it either! But if I were in charge of Mars Wrigley I can see how I’d have to make the call. The apology changes nothing for the 24 million souls in the R.O.C., except perhaps their enthusiasm for Snickers bars. It’s not like what Nixon did.
