Taiwan does not belong to China! Demand that Qantas fixes its website!!

Some time in 2018, the chinese communist party threatened Qantas, forcing them to change how Taiwan was listed on their website. And/or bribing the upper levels of management. That's certainly the way it looks. Because right now, according to the Qantas website, it's as if Taiwan is a Chinese territory, in other words, that Taiwan is owned and operated by China. Except that it's not. Taiwan obviously wasn't very happy about it, the Qantas decision. While everyone was distracted by facebook, The White House even labelled it "Orwellian nonsense".

In reality, Taiwan has its own government and legislative council. Taiwan has its own currency, the New Taiwan Dollar (TWN). Taiwan has it's own flag. Taiwan has its own national anthem. Taiwan even has its own Olympics team.

Look at any map and you will see Taiwan listed as, well, TAIWAN. When I grew up, everyone knew that Taiwan was its own country. Just how different are they? Well China is a communist country. And Taiwan is a democracy.

That doesn't stop China from claiming ownership of Taiwan. In the past, China has theatened military intervention. Now the Chinese communist party's tentacles have finally reached overseas and they are infiltrating overseas corporations, universities and governments. They are trying to brainwash even Westerners into believing that Taiwan is part of China!

You might say, well it's such a small change, so what, how does it affect anything? Well little by little the Chinese government is getting their own way. Over time, they are fucking about with people's perceptions of reality. Kids who grow up now will look at the Qantas website and really believe it must be true. Next stop, google. Why should Qantas, an AUSTRALIAN airline kowtow to the chinese communist party?

The majority of Chinese do not even know what happened at Tiananmen Square. The Chinese don't call it "The Tiananmen Square massacre". They call it "The June 4th incident". And for the most part, they just don't know what happened there (or why). Especially the youngest people. Their own citizens are brainwashed. This is no exaggeration; China censors anything it doesn't like and teaches people its own version of "history".

So it comes as no surprise that this change, to list Taiwan as a Chinese territory, never really sat well with me. Or with many Australians. And so, somewhat belatedly, I've decided to do something about it. Qantas thinks everyone has forgotten about this already. Well we haven't! And I haven't ruled out buying a megaphone and protesting right outside the Qantas head office.

There are even various hashtags on twitter: #TaiwanIsNotChina #TaiwanIsaCountry

What can you do?

* Firstly, share this petition around multiple times on all your social media platforms. Do this several times throughout the day over the course of a few weeks. The more people that know about this, the better.

* Message the CEO directly on LinkedIn, letting him know how you feel about the change. Remind him of his geography (because he seems to have forgotten). Tag Alan Joyce and any Qantas staff members in all LinkedIn comments. Embarrass them.

* Leave comments on Qantas's twitter account. Focus on their most recent posts. Don't let them brainwash you too!

* Contact any of the ministers on the list of targets. Let them know what you think about China forcing Qantas to list Taiwan as an island belonging to the Chinese.

2018 年的某个时候，中国共产党威胁澳航，迫使他们改变在其网站上列出台湾的方式。和/或贿赂高层管理人员。这当然是它的样子。因为现在，根据澳航的网站，台湾好像是中国的领土，换言之，台湾是中国所有和经营的。除了它不是。台湾显然对此不太满意，澳航的决定。当每个人都被 Facebook 分散注意力时，白宫甚至将其标记为"奥威尔式的胡说八道"。

实际上，台湾有自己的政府和立法会。台湾有自己的货币，新台币（TWN）。台湾有自己的国旗。台湾有自己的国歌。台湾甚至有自己的奥运代表队。查看任何地图，您都会看到台湾被列为，好吧，台湾。长大后，大家都知道台湾是自己的国家。它们到底有多大不同？嗯，中国是共产主义国家。台湾是民主国家。

这并不能阻止中国声称对台湾拥有所有权。过去，中国拒绝进行军事干预。现在，中共的触角终于伸向海外，渗透到海外的企业、大学和政府。他们甚至试图给西方人洗脑，让他们相信台湾是中国的一部分！

你可能会说，这是一个很小的变化，那又如何，它会如何影响任何事情呢？中国政府一点一点地走自己的路。久而久之，他们就在搞砸人们对现实的看法。现在长大的孩子会看到澳洲航空的网站，并且真的相信它一定是真的。下一站，谷歌。

大多数中国人甚至不知道天安门广场发生了什么。中国人不称其为"天安门广场大屠杀"。他们称之为"6 月 4 日事件"。大多数情况下，他们只是不知道那里发生了什么（或为什么）。尤其是最年轻的人。他们自己的公民被洗脑了。这一点也不夸张；中国审查任何它不喜欢的东西，并向人们传授自己版本的"历史"。
