The hell does that even mean?

That, from the perspective of Taiwan (aka the Republic of China) mainland China (aka People's Republic of China) to it's west is an illegitimate government that lays claim to lands still claimed by the RoC from before the revolution.

See, thanks for an actual answer.

That mainland Taiwan can eat a dick.

Cool. I was trying not to make it political, and y’all come in with some bullshit in my inbox.

Let's discuss a political topic but not make it political. This will totally work on the internet

I don't think disdain for a government that thinks concentration camps are a good idea is something that should be considered controversial, but that's just me.

I don’t think every single conversation about the world has to devolve into whatever this is. The sky is blue. Everyone knows the sky is blue. So, we don’t have to say “The sky is blue” every time we talk about clouds.

I don’t think that’s possible in this case.
