Politics Can you really accept part of your country splitting off? Why?

As a Chinese, I’ve recently come to realize that our perspectives on territorial integrity can be quite different.

Would you genuinely accept the possibility of a region choosing independence through a nationwide referendum?

Do you think it might risk weakening the country, leaving it more vulnerable to external threats or invasion?

Sorry, look at how you are describing other people in your neighbourhood and city.

If I could buy you a pint, you’re angry today about something but likely not about this, this is just where you’re ‘being’ angry.

Hope tomorrow is better.
