I just looked into the history of Taiwan and China and it looks to me like the previous government of China lost a civil war and then retreated to Taiwan.
Really puts into perspective all the useful idiots saying “Taiwan is China.” They’re literally following the same logic as “the South will rise again.”
Propaganda is real. Indoctrination is real. Tribalism is real. If you feel you’re immune to them, then you’re probably the most susceptible.
The Republic of China retreated to Taiwan in the Chinese civil war when the communist party took control, yes. No, nobody expects the CCP to fall and the ROC and Kuomintang to return to the mainland.
Also the KMT aren’t really good guys anyway, they’re a pretty nationalist right-wing party.
But I don’t really see what that has to do with this story.

Please get mad at anyone who calls it out.
You’re not wrong, you’re just an asshole.
