I am an in absolute awe of the level of historical illiteracy you just demonstrated. What's it like to go through life with absolutely no understanding of the world? Just thinking whatever the news tells you to think. An absolutely smooth, perfectly frictionless brain existing in an informational vacuum.
Did you even read the wikipedia article you linked me? Just the first paragraph should be enough. Here, I'll post it so you don't even have to click the link and I'll also bold the parts of this wikipedia article that you should have read.
Surely even in your liberal bubble you should have known that both China and Taiwan both consider themselves as the real China. You couldn't have looked up which was which? For the other links, the amazon book synopsis is in Chinese and plugging it into google translate is hard, so I'll forgive you for not doing that. But why didn't you at least look at the title of the book and see that it mentioned Republican China. That should have tickled a neuron in your brain. The other books is just flat out about the adopted son of Chiang Kai-shek, the leader of Nationalist China. One of the pictures even mentions him being in the post-war Taiwan military.
The rest of your links at least are about the correct China. I'm not going to bother reading them as you obviously just gave me the first six links you found on google without bothering to read them yourself or understand their historical context. I do hope that you read the links that you sent me and come to the correct conclusion that the Taiwan (Republic of China) was a Nazi-collaborationist state and is still friendly with the US to this day. That should put you on the right track to understanding why China (People's Republic of China) is in the right today.
Lmao reading is truly the enemy of liberalism.
The way the term liberal gets used here is almost as bad as the way republicans use it.
We have a clear definition of
We use it in a scientific way, not a vibes-based one.
