        They speak Mandarin and a Taiwanese dialect that’s just different enough from Mandarin to be infuriating.

        But also, even Mandarin isn’t entirely one language. There’s a ton of variation across the provinces. Beijing and Shanghai have their own dialects, for instance.

        Yeah AFAIK Mandarin is official in Taiwan but a few others (chiefly Hokkien) are common.

        I really don’t know much myself. I think the brand Huawei both means Chinese progress and red lotus? So their logo is a flower but their name is also a salute to China?

        And then apparently a bunch of fandom stuff but I can’t remember any of it.
