        Well yes. One is the result of a bloodthirsty and corrupt military dictatorship which is directly responsible for the deaths of millions, whereas the other is the People’s Republic of China.

        However, both are China as you can see from the names they’ve chosen for themselves.

          One is one of the most democratic countries in the world and PRC is one of the most undemocratic countries of the world.

            “one of the most democratic countries in the world” might be a bit of a stretch here

              Democracy is when you spend several decades murdering and repressing all leftist political opposition. The more leftists to murder and suppress, the more democratic it is.

                Democracy is when the people can vote for their politicians instead of countries like the PRC where they are forced.

                  If you were forced to vote for people would you be satisfied or dissatisfied with your government?

                  Then why does China have a 95.5% approval rating for their government that spans 15 years?

        There is only one China, according to about 180 countries on earth. That includes USA. FYI, Taiwan never expressed a want for independence because Taiwan itself wants reunification with China. Ever thought of it?
