I'm HongKonger, I think your comments is very precisely, it's really sad for Hong Kong became a part of Sham Chun, for the Taiwan I don't think it will fall in the hand of CCP easily because we have seen the taiwanese's determination to resist, so don't worries, anyway thanks for notice us, sorry for my poor english
to Farmer WE, Taiwan is very fortunate to have inherited the military of the KMT, for better (which kept the CCP at bay from overtaking), or worse (worse being that the white terror and tyrrany of the past that KMT brought upon the original inhabitants whose ancestors lived on the island prior to 1949). Sadly, Hong Kong never had a standing army and always at the whims of the occupying foreign government. Nevertheless, hang in there, we'll have to hope that CCP collapse eventually, but this would require assistance from the entire world by cutting off economic ties. Wishful thinking? I hope not. Cheers 🍻
@@crazycorpsman1391 funded? any evidence? And is manipulation that easy? It's not possible to manipulate the middle-ages who also came out to protest right? The ignorance and complete blindness in your comment is unbearable.
I am here after watching you on Lucas’s channel and so happy to hear a Canadian lives in Taiwan who’s brave enough to say his true mind about CCP. Applause from Montreal 😘
You got one thing wrong: Chiang Kai-shek didn't "found" this island. Taiwan has been shaped by Many superpower around pacific ocean for a long time. Before KMT came, Taiwan is already here.

Hi Prozzie! I live in HK and was on my way home earlier leaving from the subway station witnessing a few police officers grilling three teenagers that fit the “profile” ie. dressed in dark clothings and appearing suspicious. That’s HK for now and quite possibly for a long while. Your take is absolutely spot-on! Land is to be re-claimed to obliterate the embarrassing narrative of defeat while its inhabitants are expendable just like the crew in the movie “Alien”.
Bravo! So well said. I’ve lived here in the R.O.C. For 8 years and I have so much admiration and respect for the Taiwanese people, and also sympathy because, as you say, they desire nothing more than to be left alone to live as they please and run their own country as they see fit. And yet they can’t seem to get through to their big, Ill-tempered neighbor and erstwhile (if it were up to them) friend.
Nice vid Prozzie. I like the mountains in the distance. For Westerners, if you want to support Taiwan in a more proactive way, buy less made-in-China products and vote against pro-China politicians in your country because doing so would get more bullets and missiles for Beijing. Laowhy86 is great. I would also like to recommend a channel called "想做教育家的Klaus". That guy, Klaus, used to be a Little Pink (nickname for Chinese nationalist) but not anymore. His clips supports CC English subtitles and discusses countermeasures against the often nonsensical CCP-educated Chinese are. Klaus also offers four or five footages on each and every fact about China's false and baseless claims of Taiwan being part of it.

@@amylin7259 what about that time Taiwan was owned by the Qing Empire? (I'm not saying this justifies China's claims - if it was a justification, then I'd have to also say that Louisiana is a part of France, which would be silly)
@@fusion9619 you mentioned that was Qing Dynasty, which is not China. It is like claiming Mongolian empire’s territory 1000 years ago as China’s rightful territory today. Qing dynasty is Manchuria empire, just like Mongolian Empire which “Chinese” were slaves to these ethnicities.
I wonder how many pinks are going to come give you a piece of their minds (lol they might have some left) for this video. I miss the streets of Taiwan on a scooter! Love your videos, keep them coming.
I have been to and worked in HK and the mainland and i totally agree that HK has now lost its identity. There will be no more partying in LKF, or shopping on Nathan Road. I have been to Taiwan once and fell in love with Kaohsiung. No more mainland for me, it's the RoC next time. Long live an independent and democratic RoC
Love these motovlogs as always, always interesting to see what different parts of the countryside look like. For the map stuff, if you get a copy of Google Earth Pro on the desktop and you can use it to do smooth camera movements and zoom ins using the standard application. You can focus it on a place and then use search to have the camera do a smooth jump like you did with the move to Hong Kong. This video also ended without any sort of sting or outro sequence distinct from the main vision, is that something you could consider?
Btw, I lived in 廣州 for one whole year and witnessed how evil CCP is. Your concern about a military takeover is definitely a valid one. I love Taiwan and I love US and hope China won’t be stupid enough to ruin Taiwan as they had done in HK. God bless Taiwan.
Bro your videos have gotten progressively better. I remember you were one disgruntled man in China, and ever since your move to Taiwan seems like your videos and quality of life have improved substantially. Guess the quality of your videos correlate with your life haha not saying your videos in China were shit, but near the end of your stint there they weren't the best. I'm hoping to move out there in about a year.
Honestly, I am more worried about your safety. Driving and thinking/talking to yourself can be a lethal combination specially riding a motorcycle in Taiwan. However your thoughts on China/ Taiwan relationship is profound and intriguing. Chill from Dallas.
Like this video! Hope that you can get 100K subscriber really soon!! You have pretty correct understandings regarding the threats from CCP, which Taiwan is facing. Indeed, the threats are getting more and more intense and serious. Just your statement about the westerns think that the communist is far concerns me as it's naive to assume that CCP will stop after taking HK or Taiwan.
BTW - Has Allen seriously never changed his engine oil? If so, he's lucky if the engine merely seizes up. It could potentially explode and do him some actual bodily harm. Might I suggest a service or maybe go green and trade it in for a Gogoro 2 plus!
Hats off to you! I have always known you were not just another "pretty face." ;-) While it is fun to watch you and Allen do silly things, I also look forward to seeing your more "serious" side like this one. Cheers!
Hi Prozzie, I agreed with what you said. It's not the communist that helped the economy. It's very tricky and it's not really a fair competition. You have good observation. It's snowing in Canada now and the covid cases are going up. Enjoy your trip. Glad you are happy there. Take care.
A few boys in one of my classes today were talking about whether or not Taiwan was a province of China. They couldn't decide so in the end they asked me. I just smiled and gave an exaggerated shrug - I didn't want to lie to them, but I also knew that I could get in trouble if I said the wrong thing.
As a Hong Konger, I must say you have a very very thorough understanding of Chinese history, culture, the "real" values and thoughts of the people in China (not CCP, but China and Chinese), even better than many other people in HK and TW. My advice for TW and the free world is, you have to prepare for war though its unlikely as its too risky for the Chinese regime, but the infiltration in different aspects is real, WHO is a good example, and oversea Chinese students, immigrants and businessmen are influencing the politics in the west as well therefore it is not a threat that is far away on the other side of the planet.
As a German I seem to have a better understanding of Chinese history than you. Although, to be fair, it's probably going beyond history and into wisdom teachings that makes one put historical events in proper context. Hongkongers would have difficulty gaining a good understanding since they have been propagandized massively by their former conquerors and bribed with conveniences bought with the blood of innocents.
@@Dowlphin Honestly what you are talking is not nothing new for us, that's what Chinese "pinkys" love to mention when it comes to the British, the conquer of the British empire and the guilty of colonization. The British were the bad guys in other colonies but not really in HK, at the end of a century of the British rule HK was one of the most free society in the world. The word propaganda is exclusively for authoritarian nations like China, you have got a free internet, media from left to right and from public to private in the west, if HK people are being propagandized, then what about the Chinese who are feeded with news from the CCP as the single source?
@@Dowlphin Living in a nation where freedom and democracy is well protected, seeing millions of HongKongers have spoken out and still calling them "indoctrination victims"....
@@KururuW Because I already have a headache from all the idiocy in the world, I will try to just ignore the cringey stupidity of claiming the existence of protests does in any way indicate lack of indoctrination, when in fact it could indicate the opposite, but of course if someone is a western-indoctrinated muppet, they could not derive that from watching the news. Germany doesn't have true freedom and democracy. We have post-war rule, somewhat comparable to the phony independence of ex-colonies in Africa. ... Or Hong Kong. 😏 *German Basic Law(!) article 146:* *"This Basic Law, which after the completion of the unity and freedom of Germany is valid for the whole of the German People, will lose its validity on the day that a Constitution takes effect that was agreed upon in free decision by the German People."* But almost no German knows about that article and the intention to replace post-war rule with a People's Constitution as soon as all German people are reunified. Because we are NAZO-indoctrinated and thus shall not know that we were supposed to be self-determined. There was a concerted re-education campaign in Germany by the Wild West that was and is comparable to what the CCP is doing. Cultural warfare, converting minds to the USA's ways to make sure Germany would become a compliant vassal and profitable market. Quite like stolen Hong Kong where the SAR agreement was about corporate profits with some lip service to the people's interests. Had the CCP not accepted this managed theft, HK would still be a colony of the West. The thieves were demanding conditions. The 50-year agreement was merely for buying time for the indoctrination regime to have enough time to re-weaponize HK against the mainland, to fully steal it again, by provoking conflict as the NAZOS always do. Hong Kong only has a Basic Law, too, for similar reasons. Because it is a conquered territory without its original sovereignty. And funnily that Basic Law states there needs to be a national security legislation. Which was recently finally implemented.
The problem with comparing Hong Kong and Taiwan is, Hong Kong has always been a colony. Maybe if the Dutch still ruled Taiwan, it'd be a fair comparison. I would argue that the two are too incongruous to lead to any useful deduction based on a comparison of the two. What use is there in such a comparison anyway? The protectors of Hong Kong: the UK (sorry Allan) are not powerful enough to back the terms of the handover of Hong Kong. The United States is indeed powerful enough to back its defensive treaty with Taiwan, and there is not even a possibility that Japan would not react. Their states as protectorates are also different. The comparison shouldn't even be made. Edit: I guess you could reasonably deduce that the CCP is not to be trusted, but does this comparison even need to be made to come to that conclusion?
Taiwan has been warned for decades The problem is that many countries do not know their dangers and are still sleeping For example, Australia was recently punished by China, Morrison kneeled This is the problem
USA dropped bombs on Taiwan, but did not dare to land on Taiwan during WWII. KMT was shipped to Taiwan by the 7th fleet's units in 1945 and 1949. CCP has not toughed Taiwan and Penghu(Formosa and the Pescadores) for a second since PRC was founded in 1949. Before WWII: Interviews With Mao Tse-tung by Edgar Snow "QUESTION: Is it the immediate task of the Chinese people to regain all the territories lost to Japan, or only to drive Japan from North China, and all Chinese territory above the Great Wall? ANSWER: it is the immediate task of China to regain all our lost territories, not merely to defend our sovereignty below the Great Wall. This means that Manchuria must be regained. We do not, however, include Korea, formerly a Chinese colony, but when we have re-established the independence of the lost territories of China, and if the Koreans wish to break away from the chains of Japanese imperialism, we will extend them our enthusiastic help in their struggle for independence. The same things applies to Formosa. " Look at Chinese citizens' thoughts about Taiwan nowadays ?....how effective the 70 year brainwashing is.
@Prozzie its foolish to think Honk Kong was going to keep its British ideas once Britain gave Hong Kong back to China. And the Hong Kong people had a chance to leave before the hand off took place, and a lot did. Those who stayed clearly didn't think the emendable was going to happen.
try a stopover in Vietnam - the people are incredibly friendly - just don't go looking for a coffee whilst riding your motorbike or you might just end up in a brothel rofl
The problem is not really communism but totalitarianism. But they often go hand in hand... Thank you for talking about this issue. Our government is doing its best to reinforce ourselves in many ways, yet we need support from the major democratic countries in the world.
Prozzie obviously has a good understanding of the current political situation in Taiwan, China and Hong Kong. After World War II, the world order has become very clear, that is, no country can use force to plunder other people's land, property, and harm the people living there. Otherwise, it will be aggression, which will inevitably arouse anger and suppression from countries around the world. After this motorcycle trip around the island, I believe Prozzie should know more about Taiwan, and know that the values of Canadians and Taiwanese are mostly the same. Although the races, climates, and lifestyles of the two countries are very different in all aspects, people who have lived in these two countries for a long time should fall in love with them. I hope that more countries with the same values as Taiwan can gain a deeper understanding of Taiwan and work with Taiwan to maintain more peace and prosperity in the world.
You are tagicomically naive, exemplifying the power of government propaganda against overt reality. 🤦 Still believing in that freedumb&demoncrazy, huh?
@UCBa828evsdm2p65CmZdNyGg "True freedom and democracy" - What a laugh. That's something different than allying with a global terror empire against its nemesis, an empire that has murdered, terrorized, plundered, conquered, oppressed with impunity over a very long time and is still doing it to this day, and did so with Hong Kong and by extension with Taiwan. An empire that has bred happy slaves whose happiness is built on other people's suffering. Denial will be punished by karma. Your line *"After World War II, the world order has become very clear, that is, no country can use force to plunder other people's land, property, and harm the people living there."* is really a darkly cynical joke and exemplary of the power of propaganda in disconnecting people from blatant reality. You cannot expect people to believe that you have any fucking clue about history when you talk like that. And that I-have-lived-there point is quite moot, too, because of the problem of indoctrination and willful, selfish denial. People also claim Maduro is a dictator and that they know that for a fact because they live in Venezuela. Well, great, Trump is a dictator, too. Just ask some Murk libtards. There is no hope for humankind with the masses being so corrupt. So selfish, only looking at whatever pleases them personally. Selfishness comes from fear and fear makes stupid.
@@Dowlphin No, no, I have always lived in Taiwan and Western countries, and I have lived in China for ten years in this century. Because I have this kind of practical experience and observation, I will not be brainwashed by any regime. I am confident enough to understand the reality clearly. Maybe you don’t understand the distinction between liberal democracy and totalitarianism. It is recommended that you try to live under a real dictatorship to be more sober.
@@jackliang6907 If I try to ignore your strange reposting there, you only talk in your head, about how you see yourself, while not registering the points I made. Typical fool's mind. The only experience you have is about where you personally prefer to live, regardless of any historical understanding and what the future will bring. Hongkongers are suffering now because of exactly that folly. It is necessary feedback, karmic punishment for their willful ignorance of their own history, building on a rotten foundation just like the CCP does. Two sides of the same coin. It was very telling when Serpentza had a Jimmy Lai associate in interview, Umbrella Movement spearhead so to speak, who was talking like a total Murk, calling Julian Assange a traitor and Winston cowardly didn't even object to that. That's what you get with a CIA foothold that feeds your universities and media. A stolen land like HK has no right to call itself better than where it was stolen from. And Taiwan only exists because of the age-old and still ongoing game of US meddling, propping up the KMT, the right-wing nationalists, always their natural choice. That rotten foundation is still being built on because Taiwan is not treating the USA as they deserve, but as a protector. Typical behavior of a slave. That is not freedom. Freedom comes from inner strength and sovereignty. And that puts virtue over pragmatism and does not choose the easy way, but the way of peace.
@@jackliang6907 *Fun fact:* Hong Kong and Germany have a quite similar situation. Hong Kong only has a Basic Law due to its non-sovereign, unresolved status. And that Basic Law *requires* there to be a national security law, which the recent security bill finally implemented. Germany only has a Basic Law, too, a post-war order-restoration means, and it should have been replaced by a democratic constitution long ago, after the reunification restored full sovereignty through the whole of the German People. That is according to the Basic Law itself! But it hasn't happened yet. Because Germany doesn't have democracy but a phony-democratic reign by the USA. The foundation is profoundly rotten. Also proven by the fact that virtually no German knows about that article in the Basic Law. *Art. 146:* *This Basic Law, which after the completion of the unity and freedom of Germany is valid for the whole of the German People, will lose its validity on the day that a Constitution takes effect that was agreed upon in free decision by the German People.* So you cannot tell me a damn thing about democracy. I have much higher standards than a happy slave. No true democracy without true freedom. (Although from a higher viewpoint I could consider everything inherently perfectly democratic because inaction, ignorance, complacency, those are all choices.)
"Hong Kong belongs to China, like it or not." - Language of a fascist. The state belongs to the people, not the other way around. If the majority of the people are unsatisfied with their state, then they have the right to either change it or leave it. Simple.
@@Dowlphin True. But the vast majority of Hong Kongers are. Beijing has failed to meet the expectations and needs of Hong Kongers, and therefore has lost the right to govern it.

I wonder how many pinks are going to come give you a piece of their minds (lol they might have some left) for this video.
I miss the streets of Taiwan on a scooter!
Love your videos, keep them coming.
I have been to and worked in HK and the mainland and i totally agree that HK has now lost its identity. There will be no more partying in LKF, or shopping on Nathan Road. I have been to Taiwan once and fell in love with Kaohsiung. No more mainland for me, it's the RoC next time. Long live an independent and democratic RoC
Love these motovlogs as always, always interesting to see what different parts of the countryside look like. For the map stuff, if you get a copy of Google Earth Pro on the desktop and you can use it to do smooth camera movements and zoom ins using the standard application. You can focus it on a place and then use search to have the camera do a smooth jump like you did with the move to Hong Kong. This video also ended without any sort of sting or outro sequence distinct from the main vision, is that something you could consider?
台灣被共產政權威脅了70年了！
不時被對面的政權喊打喊殺的，台灣人其實是倦了更累了，已經厭倦到不知道怕了！
台灣雖然有很多不同的意見與聲音，但不代表我們不團結，當遇到困境與危難時，都會出現一個團結一心的台灣！
對岸老是說別低估他們統一的決心！
台灣更有保衛自己生存權的決心！讓台灣活不下去嗎？！

0:55 riding onto the crosshatch marking, I now recognize you as a TRUE Taiwanese.
Btw, I lived in 廣州 for one whole year and witnessed how evil CCP is. Your concern about a military takeover is definitely a valid one. I love Taiwan and I love US and hope China won’t be stupid enough to ruin Taiwan as they had done in HK. God bless Taiwan.
Thanx bro, Taiwan love you back~~~
I feel sad for HK too, but please have faith and stay safe here in Taiwan with us :)
Bro your videos have gotten progressively better. I remember you were one disgruntled man in China, and ever since your move to Taiwan seems like your videos and quality of life have improved substantially. Guess the quality of your videos correlate with your life haha not saying your videos in China were shit, but near the end of your stint there they weren't the best. I'm hoping to move out there in about a year.
Honestly, I am more worried about your safety. Driving and thinking/talking to yourself can be a lethal combination specially riding a motorcycle in Taiwan. However your thoughts on China/ Taiwan relationship is profound and intriguing. Chill from Dallas.
There's not a single car on the road. He'll be just fine.

I really appreciate everything we have. I know it is not free!

You have pretty correct understandings regarding the threats from CCP, which Taiwan is facing. Indeed, the threats are getting more and more intense and serious. Just your statement about the westerns think that the communist is far concerns me as it's naive to assume that CCP will stop after taking HK or Taiwan.
BTW - Has Allen seriously never changed his engine oil? If so, he's lucky if the engine merely seizes up. It could potentially explode and do him some actual bodily harm. Might I suggest a service or maybe go green and trade it in for a Gogoro 2 plus!
Hats off to you! I have always known you were not just another "pretty face." ;-) While it is fun to watch you and Allen do silly things, I also look forward to seeing your more "serious" side like this one. Cheers!

騎車要注意安全喔，看一直往中間車道超車讓我有點緊張，台灣很多地方行車迴轉跟煞車都有點隨意...並沒有很遵守交通規則，有時候行人也會出現在車道上.....請務必注意安全!
Taiwanese will fight for freedom even there is no any country’s help. In earth, people need Taiwan to eliminate evil CCP
Hi Prozzie, I agreed with what you said. It's not the communist that helped the economy. It's very tricky and it's not really a fair competition. You have good observation. It's snowing in Canada now and the covid cases are going up. Enjoy your trip. Glad you are happy there. Take care.
Well said Prozzie!!!
Your words tell the truth in my heart ❤️
Agree with you 100% politically. And what beautiful scenery!
很高興Prozzie清楚明白👍
A few boys in one of my classes today were talking about whether or not Taiwan was a province of China. They couldn't decide so in the end they asked me. I just smiled and gave an exaggerated shrug - I didn't want to lie to them, but I also knew that I could get in trouble if I said the wrong thing.
I hope not ... I love Taiwan and want to go back one day that place is a magical island
👍👍👍👍👍your words of wisdom. Also yes you know best cause you lived in both places.
FYI - "Hongkongers" is the term to use for describing people of HK.
我認為你應該相信台灣
因為台灣是亞洲很民主的國家之一
而且台灣有友善的文化種子
As a Hong Konger, I must say you have a very very thorough understanding of Chinese history, culture, the "real" values and thoughts of the people in China (not CCP, but China and Chinese), even better than many other people in HK and TW.
My advice for TW and the free world is, you have to prepare for war though its unlikely as its too risky for the Chinese regime, but the infiltration in different aspects is real, WHO is a good example, and oversea Chinese students, immigrants and businessmen are influencing the politics in the west as well therefore it is not a threat that is far away on the other side of the planet.
As a German I seem to have a better understanding of Chinese history than you.
Although, to be fair, it's probably going beyond history and into wisdom teachings that makes one put historical events in proper context.
Hongkongers would have difficulty gaining a good understanding since they have been propagandized massively by their former conquerors and bribed with conveniences bought with the blood of innocents.
@@Dowlphin Honestly what you are talking is not nothing new for us, that's what Chinese "pinkys" love to mention when it comes to the British, the conquer of the British empire and the guilty of colonization.
The British were the bad guys in other colonies but not really in HK, at the end of a century of the British rule HK was one of the most free society in the world.
The word propaganda is exclusively for authoritarian nations like China, you have got a free internet, media from left to right and from public to private in the west, if HK people are being propagandized, then what about the Chinese who are feeded with news from the CCP as the single source?
@@KururuW Spoken like a true indoctrination victim.
@@Dowlphin Living in a nation where freedom and democracy is well protected, seeing millions of HongKongers have spoken out and still calling them "indoctrination victims"....
@@KururuW Because I already have a headache from all the idiocy in the world, I will try to just ignore the cringey stupidity of claiming the existence of protests does in any way indicate lack of indoctrination, when in fact it could indicate the opposite, but of course if someone is a western-indoctrinated muppet, they could not derive that from watching the news.
Germany doesn't have true freedom and democracy. We have post-war rule, somewhat comparable to the phony independence of ex-colonies in Africa. ... Or Hong Kong. 😏
*German Basic Law(!) article 146:*
*"This Basic Law, which after the completion of the unity and freedom of Germany is valid for the whole of the German People, will lose its validity on the day that a Constitution takes effect that was agreed upon in free decision by the German People."*
But almost no German knows about that article and the intention to replace post-war rule with a People's Constitution as soon as all German people are reunified. Because we are NAZO-indoctrinated and thus shall not know that we were supposed to be self-determined.
There was a concerted re-education campaign in Germany by the Wild West that was and is comparable to what the CCP is doing. Cultural warfare, converting minds to the USA's ways to make sure Germany would become a compliant vassal and profitable market. Quite like stolen Hong Kong where the SAR agreement was about corporate profits with some lip service to the people's interests. Had the CCP not accepted this managed theft, HK would still be a colony of the West. The thieves were demanding conditions.
The 50-year agreement was merely for buying time for the indoctrination regime to have enough time to re-weaponize HK against the mainland, to fully steal it again, by provoking conflict as the NAZOS always do.
Hong Kong only has a Basic Law, too, for similar reasons. Because it is a conquered territory without its original sovereignty. And funnily that Basic Law states there needs to be a national security legislation. Which was recently finally implemented.
Great talk ！
台灣擅長以柔克剛,相信台灣的軟實力,我們一直都在對抗CCP,從國民黨來台灣到現在,已經超過60年了.我們知道我們的威脅,我們不改變我們的信仰,我們守護我們的台灣,世界的台灣.
Good English Vlog, thanks.
Taiwan is the previous one, not the next one, in some sense.
Taiwan Province was attacked by amrikan ClA and Japan first.
The problem with comparing Hong Kong and Taiwan is, Hong Kong has always been a colony. Maybe if the Dutch still ruled Taiwan, it'd be a fair comparison. I would argue that the two are too incongruous to lead to any useful deduction based on a comparison of the two. What use is there in such a comparison anyway? The protectors of Hong Kong: the UK (sorry Allan) are not powerful enough to back the terms of the handover of Hong Kong. The United States is indeed powerful enough to back its defensive treaty with Taiwan, and there is not even a possibility that Japan would not react. Their states as protectorates are also different. The comparison shouldn't even be made.
Edit: I guess you could reasonably deduce that the CCP is not to be trusted, but does this comparison even need to be made to come to that conclusion?
what part of taiwan are you riding your bike in the video?
Taiwan has been warned for decades
The problem is that many countries do not know their dangers and are still sleeping
For example, Australia was recently punished by China, Morrison kneeled
This is the problem

今年因為疫情世界看到台灣這個國家，(歐盟有提案要推台灣加入WHA)；因為美國的選舉亂象，以及中共近年的戰狼外交，有警覺心的國家也開始檢查自己的國內，看到有的國家也開始禁華為5G的東西，檢查自己的國內社交媒體、選舉軟體...。
當大家開始有警覺心，發現順從中國所得利益比被損害的本國利益小，自然不會坐視中共擴張。
台灣不會成為中國的一部分👍💕，香港加油👍💕，台灣加油👍💕
中國武漢肺炎揚名世界🤣👍
如果中國只要得到台灣，不是貪圖全世界，這個世界的利己主義真的會放任中共武力得到台灣，民主黨曾經已有這個想法了，所有人真的都沒想到出了一個川普，世界局勢真的一個大轉向，如果現在是希拉蕊當選，他可能會實踐他當年有考慮過的，讓出台灣換得中美利益，沒想到當初美國選民是因為對希拉蕊雙面人形象厭惡而讓川普當選！
USA dropped bombs on Taiwan, but did not dare to land on Taiwan during WWII.
KMT was shipped to Taiwan by the 7th fleet's units in 1945 and 1949.
CCP has not toughed Taiwan and Penghu(Formosa and the Pescadores) for a second since PRC was founded in 1949.
Before WWII: Interviews With Mao Tse-tung
by Edgar Snow
"QUESTION: Is it the immediate task of the Chinese people to regain all the territories lost to Japan, or only to drive Japan from North China, and all Chinese territory above the Great Wall?
ANSWER: it is the immediate task of China to regain all our lost territories, not merely to defend our sovereignty below the Great Wall. This means that Manchuria must be regained. We do not, however, include Korea, formerly a Chinese colony, but when we have re-established the independence of the lost territories of China, and if the Koreans wish to break away from the chains of Japanese imperialism, we will extend them our enthusiastic help in their struggle for independence. The same things applies to Formosa. "
Look at Chinese citizens' thoughts about Taiwan nowadays ?....how effective the 70 year brainwashing is.
@Prozzie its foolish to think Honk Kong was going to keep its British ideas once Britain gave Hong Kong back to China. And the Hong Kong people had a chance to leave before the hand off took place, and a lot did. Those who stayed clearly didn't think the emendable was going to happen.
it's such a professional lecture from Taiwanese friend.
No that's nonsense. KKK of Taiwan province.

I weep for Hong Kong and I worry about Taiwan. It feels like evil is once again creeping over the world. 😢
Well I guess that ends my stop overs in Hong Kong when I travel to Asia. I will stop over in Korea from now on.
try a stopover in Vietnam - the people are incredibly friendly - just don't go looking for a coffee whilst riding your motorbike or you might just end up in a brothel rofl
make time for a 2 weeks stopover in Taiwan if you haven't already, when this Wuhan CCP virus is over, or when the vaccine is finally ready. Cheers!
The problem is not really communism but totalitarianism. But they often go hand in hand...
Thank you for talking about this issue. Our government is doing its best to reinforce ourselves in many ways, yet we need support from the major democratic countries in the world.
True!☑️
Truth bro!
Prozzie obviously has a good understanding of the current political situation in Taiwan, China and Hong Kong. After World War II, the world order has become very clear, that is, no country can use force to plunder other people's land, property, and harm the people living there. Otherwise, it will be aggression, which will inevitably arouse anger and suppression from countries around the world.
After this motorcycle trip around the island, I believe Prozzie should know more about Taiwan, and know that the values of Canadians and Taiwanese are mostly the same. Although the races, climates, and lifestyles of the two countries are very different in all aspects, people who have lived in these two countries for a long time should fall in love with them.
I hope that more countries with the same values as Taiwan can gain a deeper understanding of Taiwan and work with Taiwan to maintain more peace and prosperity in the world.
You are tagicomically naive, exemplifying the power of government propaganda against overt reality. 🤦
Still believing in that freedumb&demoncrazy, huh?
@UCBa828evsdm2p65CmZdNyGg "True freedom and democracy" - What a laugh. That's something different than allying with a global terror empire against its nemesis, an empire that has murdered, terrorized, plundered, conquered, oppressed with impunity over a very long time and is still doing it to this day, and did so with Hong Kong and by extension with Taiwan. An empire that has bred happy slaves whose happiness is built on other people's suffering.
Denial will be punished by karma.
Your line *"After World War II, the world order has become very clear, that is, no country can use force to plunder other people's land, property, and harm the people living there."* is really a darkly cynical joke and exemplary of the power of propaganda in disconnecting people from blatant reality.
You cannot expect people to believe that you have any fucking clue about history when you talk like that.
And that I-have-lived-there point is quite moot, too, because of the problem of indoctrination and willful, selfish denial. People also claim Maduro is a dictator and that they know that for a fact because they live in Venezuela. Well, great, Trump is a dictator, too. Just ask some Murk libtards.
There is no hope for humankind with the masses being so corrupt. So selfish, only looking at whatever pleases them personally. Selfishness comes from fear and fear makes stupid.
@@Dowlphin No, no, I have always lived in Taiwan and Western countries, and I have lived in China for ten years in this century. Because I have this kind of practical experience and observation, I will not be brainwashed by any regime. I am confident enough to understand the reality clearly. Maybe you don’t understand the distinction between liberal democracy and totalitarianism. It is recommended that you try to live under a real dictatorship to be more sober.
@@jackliang6907 If I try to ignore your strange reposting there, you only talk in your head, about how you see yourself, while not registering the points I made. Typical fool's mind. The only experience you have is about where you personally prefer to live, regardless of any historical understanding and what the future will bring. Hongkongers are suffering now because of exactly that folly. It is necessary feedback, karmic punishment for their willful ignorance of their own history, building on a rotten foundation just like the CCP does. Two sides of the same coin.
It was very telling when Serpentza had a Jimmy Lai associate in interview, Umbrella Movement spearhead so to speak, who was talking like a total Murk, calling Julian Assange a traitor and Winston cowardly didn't even object to that. That's what you get with a CIA foothold that feeds your universities and media.
A stolen land like HK has no right to call itself better than where it was stolen from. And Taiwan only exists because of the age-old and still ongoing game of US meddling, propping up the KMT, the right-wing nationalists, always their natural choice. That rotten foundation is still being built on because Taiwan is not treating the USA as they deserve, but as a protector. Typical behavior of a slave. That is not freedom. Freedom comes from inner strength and sovereignty. And that puts virtue over pragmatism and does not choose the easy way, but the way of peace.
@@jackliang6907 *Fun fact:* Hong Kong and Germany have a quite similar situation. Hong Kong only has a Basic Law due to its non-sovereign, unresolved status. And that Basic Law *requires* there to be a national security law, which the recent security bill finally implemented.
Germany only has a Basic Law, too, a post-war order-restoration means, and it should have been replaced by a democratic constitution long ago, after the reunification restored full sovereignty through the whole of the German People. That is according to the Basic Law itself! But it hasn't happened yet. Because Germany doesn't have democracy but a phony-democratic reign by the USA. The foundation is profoundly rotten. Also proven by the fact that virtually no German knows about that article in the Basic Law.
*Art. 146:*
*This Basic Law, which after the completion of the unity and freedom of Germany is valid for the whole of the German People, will lose its validity on the day that a Constitution takes effect that was agreed upon in free decision by the German People.*
So you cannot tell me a damn thing about democracy. I have much higher standards than a happy slave. No true democracy without true freedom. (Although from a higher viewpoint I could consider everything inherently perfectly democratic because inaction, ignorance, complacency, those are all choices.)
"Hong Kong belongs to China, like it or not." - Language of a fascist. The state belongs to the people, not the other way around. If the majority of the people are unsatisfied with their state, then they have the right to either change it or leave it. Simple.
100% correct!
You couldn't say it better. We all need to realize that the state belongs to us and they don't own us.
The vast majority of Chinese are not dissatisfied with their state. 😉
@@Dowlphin True. But the vast majority of Hong Kongers are. Beijing has failed to meet the expectations and needs of Hong Kongers, and therefore has lost the right to govern it.
@@TheGuzeinbuick You are predictably not smart enough to get my point.
You can remove the messages left by Chines people without any concern. Believe me they won't be angry since they've got used to it in China.
He did so already.
