One China: Germany replaced Taiwan’s flag with a white blank flag

Give Canada and Australia some credit.

Don’t forget about Crimea, which got annexed and nobody did anything.

Credit is given when credit is due. As much as I hate trump, he is one of the few that is doing anything on this issue. He fucks up a lot.of.otber things, but china seems.sort of.in the right direction.

But anyone who denies Tsai and Chen from Taiwan clearly isnt watching the china situation…

Ps. Canada and australia havent done much of anything. Lip service and back pedaling. Guatemala has more moral high ground than.either when it comes to china for f*ck sakes :frowning:

Boycotting any behaviour a person doesnt agree with is one of the last freedoms a person will almost always have. And yet, the conversation about China being bad led to boycotting Germany rather than China. This is the world, in all its logic, we now live in :frowning:

If German Nazis Were Chicoms- An Alternate History.
[ Events from our timeline placed in square brackets ]

1932-Hitler and Nazis take over [1949- Mao and Communists.]
Hitler immediately renounces claims to Alsace-Lorraine [Mongolia]
Anschluss with unwilling Austria [Tibet]
1940-1944- Hitler announces Nazification of economy. Total disaster; millions of Germans starve or are killed. [Great Leap Forward] [Populations adjusted for size. No WWII]
1945- War with Italy in South Tyrol. Italians driven off Alps; Germany retreats to land claimed, stays there for 48 years.[1962 Chinese-Indian War]
1948- Hitler unleashes Hitler Youth against Nazi Party old guard. Chaos spreads; after 1951 Wehrmacht steps in. Many Hitler Youth sent to countryside.[1966-1969 Cultural Revolution]
1952- Clashes with France in thinly-populated Ardennes; both sides agree to original border [Sino-Soviet clashes 1969]
1959- old Nazis, including Hitler, die off [Chou En-lai, Mao Tse-tung 1976]
1962- War with Poland; border clashes. Each country supports different dictator in Hungary.[1979 War with Vietnam]
1972- After gradually strengthening control, Speer’s grip is shaken by riots. He announces “Fascism with German characteristics”. [1989 Tiananmen].
1972-2003- Germany expands economy, trade, GDP per person.
1980- Lease on Danzig Corridor expires; Germany demands return of whole of Danzig, says it was unfairly taken after earlier wars, promises autonomy. [Hong Kong]
2003- Camps for Slavs discovered in eastern Germany, to wipe out religion and customs; Berlin says necessary to ‘Germanize’ population.[Uyghurs]
- plague breaks out in Bavaria, sweeps world. Germany says it originates in shnitzel stand; others suspect Krupp lab.[covid-19]
- fighting breaks out in Alps between unarmed German and Italian troops; dozens killed.[India-China clash]
- SS move into Danzig, ban protests, crush democracy.[Hong Kong]
Oh, and forgot- way back in 1942 the opposition government flees to Sudetenland, massacres locals and sets up dictatorship, claiming to be the real ruler of all Germany.They eventually democratise, establishing a peaceful, prosperous country, but Germany demands eventual ‘reunification’ [guess who?]

That’s it.
(Return to reality.) No Holocaust, no WWII. Terrible history for China, with Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution, also bad for Tibetans and now Uyghurs. Probably repression for Hong Kong. Rest of World: a few border clashes, rice-wine colonialism.

Yes, this shows that Germany still is very attracted to dictatorships. I never believed WW2 was all Hitler’s fault. There has to be a lot of agreement to continue so enthusiastically destroying the world for so many years. Even Russia has a lot of people who want peace in opposition to Old KGB Putin. We must save Taiwan - no choice.

It doesn’t make this German ass-kissing any better, but just for sake of correctness: The Taiwan flag was not actually “replaced” on that website, and especially not “suddenly”. As far as I understand, it had never been shown there. It seems the reason that this was found maybe was a redesign of the website, after which all country flags were shown on one page - and there of course the missing/white Taiwan one really catches the eye.

1998 Taiwan was not even listed in the “List of countries”

2001 the Taiwan page already has an empty/white rectangle instead of the flag

2010 same

2018 “White flag” shown on Taiwan’s overview page

White flag and republic of China flag, oh Lord.

Lol

Germany sure doesnt seem to be that progressive when it comes to government. They recycle some and put up some solar panels and they expect everyone to forget about their ties with russia, china or how amazin volkswagen is with the environment etc. The good thing is they have improved a great deal over the past 80 years. Credit given where crdit due.
