The fact is, the Communists and Nationalists had a 2 decade long civil war, and the Communists won against the Nationalists, who then fled to Taiwan, where the Nationalists have maintained that they are the legitimate government of China. As with any revolution, such as the French, American, Vietnamese, Russian, Cuban, etc, I don't think it makes much sense to declare the French Monarchy, British Empire, French Colonialists, Russian Tsarists, or fascist Batista regime the "rightful" rulers of the countries the people themselves overthrew, and that extends to China. As for Taiwanese people, the overwhelming majority support maintaining the status quo, with few wanting hard independence or reconcilliation. This may change now that the US is pivoting away from them as well, but both the PRC and ROC seem to be content to maintain the uneasy status quo for the time being. War would be devastating for Taiwan in particular. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] lemmydividebyzero@reddthat.com 0 points 1 year ago (1 child) 4 paragraphs of response...
