  • In the shadow of the superpower next door, Taiwan stands at the epicenter of a brewing geopolitical storm. As tensions surge, local musicians are amplifying calls for independence, national identity, and resistance to both internal and external authoritarianism. But with the lucrative allure of the Chinese mainland's fanbase swaying some artists, a sharp divide has emerged in the music scene. Can the artists calling for an independent Taiwan get their voices heard above the growing cacophony of noise?

      ⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@SUPERPOWERCHINA_Everbody knows that Uyghurs cannot even live properly because of China’s anti-Islamic attitude. So, aren’t u (as China) racist and irreverent to another religions¿ Where is the freedom¿. What about the poor children who stay in the mountains when their parents go to the city to work? The truth is, things are not going well there. I hope we find the right path❤

    So you speak Chinese and practice the same culture but claim you are not Chinese.
    Just because you disagree with the politics of Mainland China, doesn't mean you are not Chinese.
    Can we separate political ideology from everything else, please?

      I am German, but do I think Austria and Switzerland should be part of Germany just because of similar culture and the same language? Or are the United States still part of the United Kingdom just because of a shared language and heritage?

      ​@@danielan1319culturally they're different I guess. same shit in Mongolia and inner Mongolia, the regions have been isolated from each other for almost a century now. The culture developed on its own in a different way, outer Mongolian culture is more influenced by russian, and western and Korean pop culture has lots of influence here. In inner Mongolia, there's a lot more intermingling between the Chinese and mongolians (the Chinese outnumber the mongolians there now) so they developed a culture that's different from mongolian but also different from the rest of China.

      The divergent history and demographic diversity of Taiwan construct unique Taiwanese culture and identity.
