The article even says the shooter's family left China for Taiwan "sometime after 1948" (gee, I wonder why). The "Chinese-born" shooter was literally a kid when he last lived in a war-torn China and spent the majority his life in Taiwan and the US.
Furthermore, the Chinese Embassy has already condemned the attack and sent condolences to the families of the victims. Anyone who tries tying this to Taiwan strait relations is insane.
