Both the PRC and ROC maintain that they are the legitimate governments of all of China, both mainland and Taiwan included. Both adhere to the idea that Taiwan is Chinese, they disagree on which government is legitimate.
I knew that part, and AFAIK, the opinion within the ROC is not that clear cut (the left tends to reject a union). I just don't understand the mate-drinking girl part.
The left tends to support reunification, as do the far-right. It's mostly the centrists that seek the status quo or independence. The mate drinking part is a dig against the western liberals that think they can decide for them.
Makes it seem like Argentinians are the ones you forgot to ask.
As an Argentinian I find the idea of drinking that can insane. It's always dried yerba with hot water (or cool juice in the case of tereré). I would side eye someone drinking that instead.
Mate here is culture, it's social glue. That's why people clowned our far right president when he showed being very inexperienced drinking mate. We drink it with our grandparents, our friends, our partners, our colleagues, our classmates, and so on and on. It's less strong now post COVID for obvious reasons, but you get my point.
I didn't make the meme 🤷
