Report by a UK parliamentary committee states that Taiwan "is already and independent country." The committee's emphasis on Taiwan in the report was based on a belief "in the importance of protecting the right to self-determination and to choose your own Government, free from threat or coercion."

Interview with Taiwan's vice president and DPP presidential candidate Lai Ching-te. He clearly states that Taiwan is already an independent country and its government is committed to maintaining peace in the Taiwan Strait

Timothy Rich suggests that Taiwan needs to rethink the language it uses to describe its diplomatic relations.

"The term “diplomatic allies” oversimplifies Taiwan’s relationships, misrepresents its level of economic importance and de facto recognition, and overlooks the multifaceted engagements available beyond traditional diplomacy."

We will build solidarity with people, despite language barriers, despite distance, we will build on shared values & desires. Not because we support a state but because we believe in justice & freedom from oppression.

And it is & will be messy, chaotic, full of contradictions. But if we stand on the side of the egg and listen & learn from each other, do what we can in what little ways we can... we can make a difference & that difference maybe some just feeling heard in their struggle but that matters too.

Anyways wrote something longer along these lines what feels like along time ago...
The #MilkTeaAlliance why does it matter?

And some will say the alliance is gone... the tag & the trend maybe but the solidarity isn't.

"Taiwan is already a sovereign and independent country."

This statement merely reflects the reality of Taiwan today. Anybody who suggests it is provocative is reproducing CCP talking points.

"Anyone who has visited Taiwan can instantly see that it is an independent country. And anyone who knows even basic history can tell you Taiwan has never been part of the People’s Republic of China." - Ian Easton

An article about Taiwan where the headline gets it right. Political scientist Nathan Batto also gives important context to the meaning of Taiwan independence.
