      China claims Taiwan is theirs, the joke is to flip that and say China is Taiwans. Pretty easy stuff

      Edit: And before you say your point still stands, people usually dont care about technicalities when it comes to jokes and memes, unless the technicality IS the joke or meme

        But the RoC does claim that mainland China is theirs… They don’t call it Taiwan though, because Taiwan is the island.

                  Lmao you tankies are WILD with the way you view the world.

                  edit: I KNEW you were trying the old “Make them explain the joke so they realise its garbage” technique. The thing is, I explained it. That was it, its a reversal joke. There was no bigotry or chauvinism involved.
