"Here come the tankies, trying to argue that china is not le Authoritarianian! logic is not their strong suit!"

Anyway, have you ever been so anti-seeseepee that you start hating chinese things in general?

Cantonese is more expressive economic than Mandarin.

In Mandarin, the ‘Shīshì shí shī shǐ’ poem is incomprehensible when read aloud, since only four syllables cover all the words of the poem. The poem is >somewhat more comprehensible when read in other varieties such as Cantonese, in which it has 18 different syllables accounting for tone differences, or >Hokkien, in which it has 15 different syllables.

So Mandarin is the worst branch of the Chinese languages to simp for.

this has nothing to do with HK being mostly cantonese speaking and Taiwan being "mostly" minnan* speaking (actually, still mostly mandarin speaking), it's just a logical observation about languages with no political implications. more tones and syllables = better. simplified characters are bad because they require fewer strokes to write, and i don't like that, so people that use simplified are wrong, logically. pandas are the worst asian bear, formosan black bears and tibetan brown bears are much cooler, that's just an animal fact.

*don't say "hokkien" if you're not from southeast asia
