As somebody mentioned earlier, it depends on how much you learned about this in school. The fact that Taiwan has remain an independent Govt from China since 1949 isn't something that should need to be brought up in this discussion. Besides, I have no idea why the US would provide military defense for a part of China that already belongs to China.

Because they are an ally since the days of the cold war, held up their side of international agreements with the united states , take the united states side in geopolitical disputes , and us corporate interests are critically tied to the taiwanese economy. If you want to see the stock market plummet watch taiwan destroy all of the microchip foundries in an event of a chinese invasion. That will cause a global depression.

Long live a free, independent and democratic Taiwan
Now with the CCP criminals and Thugs. After killing over 60 millions of their own people after they took control over the mainland,the CCP have no right to govern any part of China. And they continue the killing today .

Does anyone believe the US will engage in a direct war with China over Taiwan? I certainly don’t

You misread what I wrote. I was trying to point out the logic for why the US would not be protecting Taiwan if China already has control of it. Not why the US IS protecting Taiwan.

Sometimes, I meet chatty providers who tell me about their entire past. Some are visiting NYC for 3-4 weeks and then going to London or LA next, some say they do this to make $$ to fund their wanderlust / travel lifestyle, and some got out of bad breakups. Are these stories even real?

Or do they tell these backstories enough times that they start to believe it?

Don't get me wrong, some of them are really interesting and makes me feel closer, but always a bit wary that their just full of shit. Curious what yall have seen.

I know a girl who claims that she only works this job because her business in China owes the government $1M in taxes. A few months ago, she paid a photographer over $900 for a dozen photoshopped pictures, she bought a new Samsung folding phone for $1000 (her old Huawei phone still works just fine), and she spent another $2K on tickets to a soccer game. This all occurred in the same week. She will also spend hundreds of dollars on takeout everyday because she doesn't know how to cook. You would think someone with a teenage daughter would behave more responsibly if they were actually in that much debt. All of these girls lie with the intention of preying on your empathetic emotions. Some are just more committed to maintaining the illusion.

Yes But my point is who doesnt lie...

Or, who's intentions dont change through time.

But yeah, Im always kinda wondering whats going on also.

There is one woman currently, whom, im helping with some things (not involving money nor much time)... who, I assume is being 100% honest with me. I really think these ladies are in the same spectum of honest as the rest of the population. maybe veering to the slightly less side. lol

It's the work. It fks with their head after some time. Also coming into that type of earnings in that environment, spending for some is an escape.
I had one constantly telling me how broke she is.
Its ok to listen, just dont act on any of it.

theyre women their real financial plan is to find rich simps to bail them out and it works way too much for them to ever change

It’s always good to ask a person’s backstory just to see who they really are….. but only after a few repeat visits since it would be kinda weird asking for everything upfront in the first meetup

Of course they won’t always be honest but even hearing the lies and bs story gives you a good idea on who they are and how they view you.

One of my current ATF’s always jokes about marrying me. We always joked about this but then at one point she proposed to me on the condition that I pay off her $60k debt and she had the most serious face ever lol I was able to play it off with some jokes and say no to her. We still get along well but it’s interesting to see how much I’d hypothetically be getting myself into with her.

I'll marry you if you pay me sounds like the most retarded offer in the history of delusional female demands.

Yup. Considering the standard is they pay you to help them get a Green Card.

The best way to know about their lying is when they ask you to help them with tax returns. Questions like how much to underreport (cash business), and if they should risk an audit by deducting the fees for buying a house.

The UK had no choice but to turn over the island back to China because the 99 years lease was up

But the UK should had offered every residence of HK British citizenshiop but they did not. Instead the Brits negotiated an agreement with the CCP to maintain HK democracy for 50 years. The CCP did not honor the agreement.

With all due respect. You are confusing Hong Kong and Macau. England colonized Hong Kong after the opium wars. The opium wars started because England and to some extent the US refused to stop selling opium in China so the Chinese government seized and burned the illegal opium. This outraged England and so started the opium wars. The Chinese army was no match for the English army/navy so the weak Chinese emperor basically surrendered and England took control of Hong Kong. England returned Hong Kong in 1997 because they had no leg to stand on. Times changed and it was hard to justify holding onto to a part of a foreign country that they gained through selling opium. Macau on the other hand was a lease by the Portuguese. China was not even a communist country when England colonized Hong Kong.

As for Taiwan. Taiwan was a part of China for around 300 years. They lost Taiwan when Japan invaded it. Remember Japan, the country we went to war with. Taiwan was supposed to be returned to China after the defeat of Japan but by then the communist party took control of China and they did not return Taiwan to China. The party that lost to the communists in China fled to Taiwan and referred to themselves as the Republic of China. Meanwhile the communist party that remained in China referred to themselves as the People’s Republic of China. It is a complicated situation however I’m sure you have heard the US say that we respect the one China policy and until recently the US has never fully recognized the Taiwanese government.

I stand corrected. Years after the opium wars ended, England extended their territory in China by leasing the land adjacent to part of China that they already colonized however China demanded that they returned everything they had taken and, not only the land they leased upon the expiration of the lease.

whats the point with this?
HK was only became a valuable place due to western influence and same with Taiwan. Taiwan's culture is what it is, due to Japanese and western influence. Taiwanese consider themselves Taiwanese not Chinese for a reason and have good ties with Japan, as well as USA. I have never met a Taiwanese person who didnt have a strong sense of NOT being Chinese.

This issue is mainland china... not USA (or England)...

also China is calling many areas as its own, even those areas dont want to be part of China. Thats been going on for as long as written history. There isn't any specific area which is Chinese by any type of right other than what it's able to hold on to (usually by extreme force).

and as far as Taiwan goes, USA will try to keep china off of Taiwan, despite whatever it says to China's face because we don't want China to have control of water past Taiwan. China's power is going to drop quickly in the next ten years regardless, so its bargaining power will drop quickly also.
