I'm not happy with this development, but I'm slightly amused by the irony being that lemmy.ml is pro-china and has been moderated as such.
I was curious what lemmy.ml has to say about this but it seems the linked post was deleted in the meantime π€‘
The poster was banned for trolling but I saw a comment showing that it is real.
It is definitely blocked.

West Taiwan*
Saying that is what China wants.
Youβre reaffirming the one China policy and keeping the status quo.
Conflating Taiwan and China means Taiwan can never move onto independence.
Taiwan seems very independent already though and the vast majority of the world feels the same way.
This took a major hit just a few years ago when the UK officially backed out.
It looks like this info is out of date based on a quick search. https://www.politico.eu/article/uk-parliament-calls-taiwan-independent-country-report-says-james-cleverly-visit-china/
That said, UK support or not seems to have had little to no impact.
Taiwan is its own country, always has been. china would be lucky to be known as the geographical-offshoot of Taiwan.
