    Chou’s family was among many that were apparently forcibly removed from China to Taiwan sometime after 1948…Chou’s hatred toward the island…seems like it began when he felt he wasn’t treated well while living there.

    He's from Taiwan/The ROC. This has nothing to do with the PRC, and it's extremely disgusting that the AP is trying to imply that it does.

      American news papers trying to stir racial animus towards the designated enemy? Say it ain't so!

        Is it too on the nose to call it "Yellow Journalism" if it's directed at Asian people?

        My Taiwanese history knowledge isn't the best, but as far as I know only the ROC moved people to Taiwan, so the PRC truly couldn't have had anything at all to do with this. I don't recall if the ROC moved anyone forcefully. My guess is the AP are just playing with words to suit their political agenda.
