  Because China is a lot more powerful than either Korea.

  My understanding is that “China” is special because they’re a founding member of the UN and have special powers due to that. After the civil war, neither Taiwan or China wanted to lose that power, so neither side wanted to be recognized as anything other than “China”. I’ve heard that the younger generation in Taiwan are more open to being recognized as Taiwan but China has kind of made that impossible now by threatening any country that doesn’t respect the “one China” policy.

  The PRC has the political weight to make others pick a side, at least openly.

  The DPRK, on the other hand, absolutely does not.

  South Korea doesn’t have an interest in convincing that the north is theirs to the world, while China actively pushes for Taiwanese annexation and has the resources to accomplish it

  Two reasons:

  First, both Koreas accept that there are two different countries through various political actions. That equivalent doesn’t exist for the Chinas; both nations officially don’t recognize each other’s legitimacy and don’t treat each other as independent nations.

  Second, the UN Veto only goes to one country. The USA kept the PRC from being declared the legitimate Chinese government. So, the world is used to viewing the issue of one China, it continues to do so.

  They can, it is just that if they do that, the PRC will sever diplomatic relations with such a country. Why that is so, you would have to ask them… neither of the Koreas has such a policy.

  The situations are also not exactly the same: out of these, all are members of the United Nations except the Republic of China.

  Because China’s assertions about Taiwan carry considerably more weight than the DPRK because China has a lot more economic and military power to lean on people with.

  I know this doesn’t answer your question, but I think something went wrong with your formatting. In Voyager (Lemmy), your title seems to be cut off, and the body of your post is way bigger than it should be, lol

    Shows big font on desktop too.

    The title maybe, unless that was a stylistic choice.

      It’s a bad choice, imo. The title should usually have the entire question within.

    Title was too long

  Taiwan doesn’t have nukes. Plus Korra was itself partitioned by the west. So there’s that.

  Why is this an image?

    It’s not they just made the text gigantic (or it’s a bug with Connect).

      It’s just large text. It’s the same in Voyager

      Oh you’re right, they’re using Markdown to make it much too large.

  Partially because both of those agree on one thing and one thing only: There’s only one Korea.
