Yes, just the freedom of talking about the issue already makes the US much better than China.

That’s the key. Western people VALUE this freedom of speech A LOT, but it’s not a prevailing concern for even most Chinese citizens.Years of enlightenment and education are needed to raise that awareness. Sadly CCP knows how to prevent you do it.

Imagine 0.01% of Chinese population have the awareness and willing to fight for it, that’ll be a huge deal already.

Yeah unfortunately they are already effectively independent on a island. And somehow mainland people don’t admire Taiwan people that much
