I normally enjoy the winter olympics. The Biathlon and Nordic skiing are my thing, and I don't even know why. Hockey is going to be awful, and it's normally pretty bad.

I'll have to take your word on the FIFA thing. Soccer is terrible.

Honest question, because I know nothing. Is Taiwan a real independent country, or is it more like a fake one like hong kong used to be, and actually just another chinese province?

It’s a real independent country that China likes to pretend it has a ROFR on that the US says “no you don’t we will see you in court (battlefield) over it”

Unlike HK/Macau, it was never official European colonies with a lease aggreement. And was lost to Japan around 1900.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Japanese won it in a war and lost it around WW2. But the ambiguity of San Francisco treaty make it a contention if Taiwan is independent or not. Chinese civil war resumes after Japanese's defeat and the loser relocated to Taiwan.
And here we are.
The parallel to Ukraine is uncanny but has a way longer history.
