Is it normal to refer to Taiwanese RAM manufacturers as "Western"?

I'm glad they distinguish it from China obviously, but calling G.Skill and MSI Western feels kinda weird.

    Sort of the joke in the modern US attitude towards Taiwan. They see a break-away province and have no actual respect for their sovereignty. Independent small nations are just colonies-up-for-grabs in the eyes of the US State Department.

    So your argument is Russia trying to take over a democratic nation created in the 20th century is imperialism. But China trying to take over a democratic nation created in the 20th century is not…

    😂

    What’s being said has no basis in logic or reason.

    Debating a fanatic is a waste of time. Nazis, racists and tankies only deserve ridicule and ostracism.

    No, Tankie is appropriate, you haven’t shown any other traits that deserve a pejorative... But I’m sure you will.

    I’m not going to respond with an argument because you’ve laid out your argument and it’s not logical, and it’s not based on reason. One democratic nation founded in the 20th century existing and is ok while another is wrong. Use all the racial or jingoistic justification you want it’s still not logical.

    No logic, no reason just one brand of nationalism justified in your mind… And at this point with how fast you respond, I get the feeling you’re probably a paid shill or you have a lot of time on your hands. I post as an unpaid amateur, sorry I just don’t have the time in my day.
