So when you said:

The truth is China has sovereignty over Taiwan, as recognized by the UN.
You meant the UN recognised it by not actually recognising it?
Have you forgotten UN res 2758, specifically the part noting the Nationalist retreat to Taiwan in 1949, ie, Taiwan which had been ruled by Nationalist China (aka ROC) since the allied victory in 1945, after which the ROC fled to Taiwan in 1949 when the PRC became the government of China?
Of course the reason why the PRC has not been able to assert its sovereignty, despite the ROC being dismissed from the UN in 1971, is the US stance:
The United States, for example, terminated diplomatic relations with the Republic of China (ROC) in Taiwan to establish relations with the PRC, though it maintains unofficial relations with Taiwan.
There we have it - the 2-faced US as always, behind the scenes ...and eg the reason why Palestine still doesn't exist despite overwhelming UN support.
But Taiwan IS Chinese, with much artistic heritage of China (stolen from various places in Beijing and elsewhere during the civil war) on full display in the Taipei Museum.

No - whatever that sentence means; whereas your neurons are evidently crippled by your "freedom or death" delusion (note: freedom is not worth a cracker if you are dead - as Trump once noted: "soldiers who die in war are losers").
Quote:Good start. Now tell me, is this:
She a head banger who has suffered brain damage after too much heavy-metal drumming.
an idiom?
Or a lie?
Neither; it's an image I have of a brain-damaged, head banger/head-shaking heavy metal drummer giving herself repeated concussions....
Quote: Did you get your philosophical approach to honesty direct from the CCP handbook, and can you explain how it works?
No to both questions.
