    Second point is false. Most Taiwanese were in Taiwan LONG before KMT lost their war in China. Why should nazi-aligned losers from China dictate the lives of the people who actually were there before? The KMT oppressed Taiwanese (look up white terror), and somehow they represent Taiwan per the CPC? The CPC knows they’re wrong about this but it’s still a face thing for them to do a 180 so nothing will change, probably.

    To connect the dots more clearly, the claim on China is from the KMT dictatorship! No Taiwanese asked them to do that. Taiwanese were silenced at gun point. When the KMT first arrived in Taiwan, some people welcomed them because it meant the end of bandits and Japanese imperialism which treated them as second class citizens. They proved to be corrupt and inept at government and the people rebelled.

    In modern days, the CPC considers it an act of war if the Taiwanese gov relinquishes the claims that the KMT made because it eliminates the face saving idea that there is a one china policy, just that both sides disagree on which side is china (it’s obviously bullshit).
