poor Taiwan

“硬頸 + 刁民”… These two phrases are both for rebels. Yes, they would be accurate descriptions of Taiwanese people. The reasons why Taiwanese people have this kind of common personality are: ….

  1. Taiwanese are intentionally overlooked, even by NGOs. See [1: Isolated information island and its barbarian neighbor.]
  2. Taiwanese people are often undervalued by the rest of the world. See [2: Chinese representative in WHA meeting said: Who cares you guys?]

    1
    Journalist: Can you just ignore the need of health care from WHO for 23 million Taiwanese people?
    2
    Representative: We already said that it was refused as the committee conclusion, didn’t you hear that?
    3
    Who cares you guys!?
    (end of update)

….. Want more reasons? I think these 2 reasons are sad enough.

Yes, Taiwanese will remain rebels at least for my lifetime. However, it doesn’t matter because you don’t care.

Admittingly, this is a trap set by the Taiwanese journalist, but these representatives from China were stupid enough to jump right in. It really reflect their real thought, but they were not smart enough to keep it quiet.
