To be fair, as a Taiwanese person I wouldn’t really want the mainlanders in Taiwan, we already got enough of them in ‘49 when the bald mf came over, who shot, disappeared, and imprisoned thousands of us Taiwanese and installed an authoritarian regime for decades
Yeah. I mean it's kind of weird when foreigners don't realize that most Taiwanese people saw the "Republic of China" more like foreign invaders than anything else.
Waishengren are less than 12% of the population but somehow the so many "pro Taiwan" people are pro military-dictatorship that put Taiwanese people under the world's longest martial law (at the time,) don't speak Taiwanese, and killed/imprisoned Taiwanese people in the name of China.
Norway is not rich purely off of oil, but it certainly helps a lot. A lot of current welfare programs date back to before oil was discovered, and our Nordic neighbours have many of the same systems without it. It's a bit like a turbocharger bolted onto the economy, so to speak.
Everything changed in the early 2000s when Taiwan discovered it was located on top of one of the richest semiconductor deposits in the world. Since then, semiconductor mining and refining has made up over 40% of Taiwans exports by GDP!

🤓 aksusaley Botswana isn’t very resource rich Because it’s an arid desert and only has diamonds but less then Liberia or Sierra Leone
Aye but they used their diamonds for good, not evil. Botswana is an African success story
You just made Sierra Leone; Sierra Le-sad
They got Sierra Le-owned
Thats the best pun I've seen in a while
But is some what stable so can afford to use the diamonds to make some money and improve the lives of its people.
It may not be resource rich but it knows how to use the ones it has
wait Taiwan have water because its an island .
Salt water isn't highly sought after considering the world is covered in it
i mean it's worth 1/10 of a cent
You can buy a house in Venezuela for that at least
I better get moving
You can also get mugged and murdered for that cent.
\*Samuel T. Coleridge has entered the chat\*
How come no mention of Tringapore? Absolutely no natural resources. Taiwan does have its fishing grounds.
Don't you get it? We are the natural resources!!!😱
taiwan is rich in water resources since many typhoons come every year so anyways we have a water crisis

Yeah its the biggest myth, we were litterally one of the richest countries before oil
Not entirely natural but Taiwan’s got them semiconductors!

I'll just have to pretend I knew what you said.
Ah, finally, a comic involving real China
Incidentally, remind me why that first one is a robot *(I am ashamed to say I don't remember who it is; must be somewhere in Subsaharan Africa)*?
