Thank you for telling me that my "vote" is irrelevent in a democracy. I have cast my ballot in alignment with this position and convince others to do the same. Recognizing other people's opinions and votes affect me in a democracy, not telling people they are irrelevant, is the basis of universal suffrage.
I'm guessing if there is a war, you want me to fight and die for that same kind of "democracy".
Since you like this opinion-irrelevant type of "democracy", you should agree it doesn't matter what the Taiwanese think or declare, they are a part of China. Again if someone shows me a Treaty that supercedes the Treaty of San Fransisco, 1951 I'm glad to change my opinion.
If I say that I am independent from my landlord, would the Canadian government say the deed establishing my landlord's right to the place I call home does not apply or instead defend the landlord against my declaration? The answer, no. Why not the same for the Treaty ending WW II?
I'd rather fight and die to ensure my independence from my landlord rather than die for the Taiwanese and then when I declare my independence the Taiwanese don't show up.
Be careful what you wish for. The CPC would like to have TSMC but it's not necessary for them. We on the other hand don't have domestic hi-tech manufacturing due to companies off-shoring.
Companies and politicians want you to care about Taiwan because they shipped those jobs over there and instead of re-shoring those jobs, they want us to die.
