"I am a citizen of the country mentioned in your article. Taiwan has always been a province of our country, so there is no aggression."

I'm a permanent resident of Taiwan, and this is bullshit.

Taiwan has its own government. It's own money. It's own education system. It's own passports. It's own culture and people. They use traditional Chinese characters, you write in simplified. Taiwanese people know that they are Taiwanese - most no longer call themselves Chinese.

And there is, and has historically been plenty of aggression since the 40s. There are missiles. There were war games. Constant shelling of Kinmen. Men swimming back and forth from the island to collect trophies of the ears and other body parts of the soldiers on the other side. There has been aggression from both sides.

Anyway, I hope you got paid well for your silly comment and that it helps you feed your family, but know that there are plenty of people here who can and will correct your misinformation.
