  1. I have been to both sides of the straits. I have seen the politics and the people of both sides. These are my thoughts. 1. It doesn’t make any sense for any country to recognize the Government of China in Taipei because it was elected by only 23 million people out of the 1.4 billion people living there. 2. It doesn’t make sense to only listen to the voices of the minority of the people in a country and ignore the majority. I am saying this because all the countries around the world recognizes only one China. Out of all these Government only 13 recognizes the Government of China as sitting in Taipei, whilst the rest of the world including the USA and all their Allie’s recognizes the Government in Beijing as the legitimate Government of China. 3. Economically it doesn’t make sense to only trade and sell to the 23 million people living on a small part of the country and totally ignore the rest of the 99% of the rest of the country just because of politics. 4. From what I see there is democracy and freedom on both sides of the Straits. The only difference is that the people on the mainland knows that their freedom and democracy is not absolute but it is sufficient to allow the respect of the people around them in the rest of the country. Whilst the people on the island of Taiwan doesn’t know that their freedom is actually controlled by the narratives set by the CIA across the Pacific Ocean. 5. The people on the mainland knows that their freedom of speech and expression is limited so that they do not restrict the freedom of the other citizens to express their own thoughts and feelings too. On the other hand the people on Taiwan thinks that they have total freedom, however they did not know that their thoughts has been controlled and there is massive censorship by the Taiwanese Government. 6. The people on the mainland knows that there are state run media and the rest of the media does self censorship so as not to create unnecessary tensions and violence within society. The people in Taiwan have no idea that their media are all controlled and run by corporations aligned to foreign interests. 7. The people on the mainland have a direct channel to complain to the authorities and that these people in power have a KPI to maintain by addressing the concerns of the people within a fixe time frame or they will be punished for their lack of efficiency. There is no such practice in Taiwan.

  2. Correction Hokkien and Hakka are not Taiwanese languages. Hokien is the language spoken in many variations throughout the Province of Fujian whilst Hakka as the name suggest are spoken by the guests or tribes who live as guests in the Provinces of Fujian, Guangzhou and also many parts of Vietnam.

  3. I have learned about this 228 incident and according to the people who related this tragedy to me. This event has been ingrained in to the minds of Taiwanese people who will say “Never Again will there be any association between Taiwan and the mainland”. I seriously find this difficult to understand but I am not able to discuss this with any Taiwanese as not many speak English. To me, I think this 228 incident happened more because of the tension between the mainlanders in Taiwan and those who have been there for a long time. This is also compounded with the inexperience of the KMT Government to rule together with the low level of education of these law enforcers and authorities running the place. To make things even worse I think it is also because of the abject poverty these enforcers grew up with, and the lackadaisical will of the KMT Government to fight corruption. We all know that the KMT Government ruled with massive corruption on the mainland thus causing massive hunger, lawlessness, injustice and rampant crime. This situation I believe was also mainly contributed by the weak Qing Government rule which were totally out of touch with the people. What are your thought about this? Do you think that the Taiwanese people will be able to put this kind of thinking behind them any time in the future?

  4.  @eruno_  Unfortunately to say that the KMT is an occupational force is not only inaccurate but wrong as it is the legitimate Government of the country to which Taiwan belong. The KMT was not a foreign power, force or entity, therefore you cannot call it an occupational force. I know that Taiwanese Independence movement funded by the CIA has been changing the narrative about this over the past few decades by changing not only the education syllabus in Taiwan to teach younger generations an altered history with a different narrative but they also funded the corporations that controlled the media in Taiwan to help brainwash the people. Taiwanese has been undergoing continuous brainwashing since the Japanese occupation. The Japanese brainwashing was very good until they enlisted the troops from Taiwan to invade South East Asia. Many of these Taiwanese Japanese Soldiers who were ultimately brutal to the Chinese Community in South East Asia by indiscriminate execution of the ethnic Chinese residents in Malaya, the Philippines, Indonesia and Singapore also interacted with the Chinese community as a Chinese too. The main reason is because they also identify themselves as Chinese even while serving the Japanese Emperor.
