so others have decided to go to painstaking lengths to break down your comments in this thread and show how awful your argument is. I thank them for it.

I posted this yesterday and it still applies now- I'm not sure what your point in any of this was or is.

you seem to confuse or lump together nationality with ethnicity.

China, that massive country in Asia, is China.
Taiwan, that small island in Asia, is Taiwan.
***those are countries and when goods are manufactured, the country of origin is listed.***

it doesnt matter if the people of Taiwan identify as ethnically Chinese as the goods are made in Taiwan and therefore labeled as 'made in Taiwan'.

If the people in China identified as American, the goods would still say 'made in China' because the goods are identified by the country in which they are made.



But none of this is new and you know all this. You are simply being obtuse for a reason I dont understand, and you are trying to make a point I dont understand.
