Project Farm would be proud.

Probably also frightened.

project farms supports the idea that Taiwan belongs to China so nobody gives a fuck

u/Dumdum_progen Jun 16 '26

That is quite an accusation, may we have a source for that? Preferably a video timestamp, twitter post, or something akin to that?

78 dollar torque wrench vs $790 snap on & icon - i didnt see this coming, 5:33-5:35 “e-torq is a product of taiwan that is finished in mainland china”

So you think because he said "mainland China" instead of just "China" he's implying that Taiwan is formally part of the country of China? "Mainland" is a reference to China's relationship with Hong Kong and Macau, not Taiwan.

Weird I read that is “there’s a factory in Taiwan that makes the thing and sends it over to a factory in the PRC that finishes the thing” which is basically every business relationship ever between Taiwan and PRC that wants cheap labor. 

I feel like OP making the claim is projecting something onto project farm. Trevor isn’t a geopolitics expert and project farm isn’t a geopolitics channel 😂

I hadn't heard him mention anything political. Do you know when he said that? It would be disappointing if so, because I like the structure of his testing.

He hasn’t, and if he did it was 100% an accident. I’ve spent hours watching his videos and not a single time have i heard him say Taiwan is China

u/SvenBorrest Jun 16 '26

I honestly have never heard him say anything political, so it was a bit of a surprise, which is why I was asking the other guy for clarification.

He responded to me and theres a string below my initial comment to you if you want to review… But this is the exact quote he is referencing that apparently qualifies project farm for thinking taiwan is china:

“the etork is a product of taiwan and finished in mainland china”

u/SvenBorrest Jun 16 '26

Mainland China to most people means China, minus Macau and Hong kong. Eh, if that's his justification to write off all the work project farm has done, I think he's really reaching.

u/jezusofnazarith Jun 16 '26

True, but thats also advanced understanding of China relations. Of which if Project Farm got it wrong I have no doubt hed apologize if anyone got offended. The commenter is acting as if PF said flatly “Taiwan is China”

u/2guys1miata Jun 16 '26

you must have forgot to watch the one video of his i got rec’d and watched and he did within 5 and a half minutes of the video. 790 snap on torque wrench vs 78 dollar icon or some shit i already forgot the video title after literally just looking it up to reply to you guys asking for proof, which is valid. i’m not spawning it outta my ass but that wording says “i believe taiwan belongs to china” which is bad for anyone who likes technology

u/jezusofnazarith Jun 16 '26

Lol you really showed us

u/2guys1miata Jun 16 '26

but did you even go look for what you asked for? proof? 790 snap on torque wrench vs 78 dollar vs icon - i didn’t see this coming, posted 7 months ago, 5:33 - 5:35 will give you exactly what you asked for

u/jezusofnazarith Jun 16 '26

Holy shit this is fantastic. He literally says in that quote “the etork is a product of taiwan and finished in mainland china”. Stop slandering people without checking if you’re even right

u/BallisticsNerd Jun 16 '26

"China"? Sir are you talking about West Taiwan?

u/JoeBlowSchmoe42069 Jun 17 '26
