Taiwan continues to keep the name because it mustn’t give China a cassus belli to invade. Essentially, by keeping their name, they show their support for a “one china policy” and keep the door open to peaceful reunification. If Taiwan decided to formally be a separate thing, the PRC would no longer be able to “peacefully reunify with a rebellious province,” and would be much likelier to invade.

(I don’t care for Reuters, but the facts are easily verifiable elsewhere)
The PRC got pissy when Taiwan changed its passports to read “TAIWAN” in big letters and have “Republic of China” in small letters. What purpose would they have in being mad about a name change on a foreign nation’s passport (particularly as it de-emphasizes the “China” bit)?
Furthermore, if you look into history, Taiwan got rid of its claims to “all of China” decades ago

…doesn’t China have a “no first strike” rule for their nuclear weapons? :P
As for not bullying China…maybe they should stop trying to bully their neighbors before asking to not be bullied lol
Avatar: The Last Airbender
Just a damned good show all around that showed younger me a lot of what makes compelling stories work.
Star Wars: Empire at War
Imagine what that game with stable multi-player and updated graphics could do with mods, especially after seeing stuff like Thrawn’s Revenge
This is obviously just bait lol
That said, the comments on that site are pretty funny.
My favorite is the dude crying about how the Arabs stole Israel from the Jews whereas the Jews got it from God. Like, did he not read the Bible? What happened to the Canaanites???
Good times…
