    So this is the easiest opportunity for the most upvoted comment ever, thanks to Mr.As-Long-As-It’s-Not-Illegal-It’s-Fine down there!

    I would still like to add my opinion: TikTok is an instrument of non-conventional warfare and espionage, why is it still running like it is

      I have agreed for the longest time. But a couple of friends in intelligence are really trying to convince me this is a distraction lately. I haven’t gotten a good answer to why status quo should be allowed but those guys don’t ever consider “how end users are” when we get into it.

    You can’t work from home cuz we have to justify the expense of our office, and if we can’t provide the office your home is our office.

      Both the People’s Republic of China (China) and the Republic of China (Taiwan) claim to own all of China and Taiwan. Neither has reneged on their claim.

      The reason why you see the west dance around Taiwan is because if they acknowledge Taiwan then they acknowledge Taiwan’s claim the mainland China (at least as far as China is concerned).

      I think it’s time for Taiwan to renounce their claim to mainland China and gain full international support.

      Of course, internal politics are probably not that simple. And China would definitely use that as an excuse to invade – er, restore democracy to – Taiwan.

        Taiwanese in Taiwan. It’s mostly the corrupt KMT that wants to reunite China and Taiwan.

        They are normally super old people that can’t let go and turn a blind eye to what’s happening inHong Kong

    And people mocked Trump for wanting to “rake” the forest floor.

    Who’s laughing now?

    Cue all of the excuses and blame Trump anyway
