Living in #Taiwan, I’m reminded each day that something resembling a conspiracy can, in fact, occur.
Taiwan is a country with its own government, passport, and currency. It welcomes Chinese visitors at the international terminal.
Yet #China insists Taiwan is ‘part of’ itself.
One telltale sign that something is amiss: China itself cannot agree on exactly what kind of ‘part’ Taiwan must be.
Sometimes it’s a province; sometimes a territory; sometimes not yet a part; sometimes Chinese Taipei.
Never mind the specifics, just keep the narrative alive?
