Taiwan has a message for Elon Musk, who just compared Taiwan to (checks notes) Hawaii.

@georgetakei , to be fair, Hawaii is like Taiwan, if China took Taiwan against the will of the Taiwanese people.

@JonKramer

They did take it against the will of the chinese people. May 1684 Taiwan was annexed by china against the will of the Taiwanese people.

Since then it was given to Japan and ultimately given back to china. But at no point did Taiwan join China by its own choice.

Ahh ok, the word "if" in your comment was misleading then.

@georgetakei

@freemo @georgetakei , I am talking about the next time China invades. If (when) they do it again.

Ya, complex history of the territory, like all history, and this format isn't the best.
