    The constitution still claims that they’re China, but they can’t change that claim in the constitution because China doesn’t want them to. China doesn’t want Taiwan to exist as a independent country, and changing that in the constitution would very likely provoke military attack from China.

    What the president and their diplomats have been doing these years, is just avoiding claming either way, but acting like they are indeed an independent country named Taiwan.

    I still can’t get over randomly seeing Japanese words in an English context (especially when written in Kanji) haha. But yes, I do maintain a huge (thick? tall? lot of? big?) 建前 with almost everyone.







  • Just writing this for people who’d want to know: hoshi (星) is the daily, common word used to refer to stars and planets. This is the most common word that someone would use to refer to a star. However, for science, more precise terms do exist: wakusei (惑星) for “planets” and kousei (恒星) for “stars”.
