A senior Chinese official on Wednesday urged Taiwan’s people to make a “correct choice” on the island’s upcoming elections, which he described as being about peace and war, prosperity and decline.

    “West Taiwan” is a joke, to show how absurd it is to deny reality and make up fantasy worlds where you can just pretend a country is under your control when it clearly is not.

    It’s not meant to be taken seriously, unlike China’s “Chinese Tapei” hot take.

      I clearly understand it’s a joke and say as such.

      But the joke only benefits China by reinforcing the connection.
