    he said a lot of ok things that are just verifiably accurate, later he glossed over taiwan claiming to be china and how that effects the conversation on 'independence' and then ended on a 'and thats why we should support the cia's line towards taiwan'

        mealy mouthed but he legit cited a cia/fed doc at some point and came to the literal same conclusion as the doc later on without saying it

            he also really glossed over the indigenous people of taiwan and how a majority want to join china because they give minorities better treatment than the ROC, instead preferring to cite some random thing about how the majority of taiwanese dont care about the situation

              do you have a source on the minorities thing? not that I don't believe you but it sounds like an interesting read

                taiwan has an aboriginal congress, they majority vote for kmt / independents. the independents are pro-reunification and the kmt have the whole weird language thing where they think theyre real china and therefore think china is a single territorial unit

                indigenous people there have big hate feelings towards chiang kai shek but seem to enjoy the new KMT

                the reason some of the independents want reunification is the laws on the mainland are better for minority groups
