This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

Mandarin or Chinese

Are they implying Mandarin is not Chinese?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

They could be differentiating between Traditional Mandarin, and mainland simplified mandarin which is more commonly accepted as “Chinese”. Especially since traditional mandarin is still the official written form of Chinese in Taiwan, as they rejected the Maoist era reforms.

Either they'd also be happy with e.g. Cantonese or they're hedging their bets and don't know who they will offend by suggesting that Taiwan speaks the same language as the most common one on the mainland.
