Since 1949, Taiwan had been an independent Nation.
With the Koumintang (KMT) in charge with its troops that fled to Taiwan, it established an INDEPENDENT form of governance and control over the population of Taiwan, with Human Rights thru the voting system by EVERY citizen, and enforcement of the Rule of Law thru its security forces, a dream that the great Sun Yat Sen - a democrat and NOT a commie, worked so hard, so hard to bring about by toppling the brutal Qing dynasty and named the new dynasty as Republic of Zhong Quo, a first in the history of China's numerous feudal dynasties.
The Koumintang had to flee as the commies sold snake oil to the billions of simple minded peasants, slaughtering every economic leader - the landlords, the supply chain leaders and giving lands and tools freely to those peasants.
As a result, economic collapse happened, and every uneducated village idiot presumed themselves as lords of the land, devouring every last morsel of food stocks and gold that existed by economic leaders, and excited to get more, and thru the propaganda from the commies, huge armies were formed to push Koumintang organization out.
The commies propaganda did not last. With no economic means and leaders to gain revenue to sustain a govt and social expenditure, the Zhongguo dynasty rotted for decades, thru its continued purges by the devil Mao and the rest is history....
On the other hand, Taiwan prospered as the great Sun Yat Sen had envisioned, for decades even now.....although 'teething' issues will occur which are only normal for citizens to see beyond the horizons, by dedicated and visionary Taiwan leaders, which took only a few years to overcome fears and challenges to economy and social challenges, thanks to US and International help,..
...but for the commie Zhongguo dynasty that now rules the landmass called China in English and critical lingo for international trade, the legacy of stealing, scamming, threats, bullying, etc, sadly, continues...
Ultimately, China ( an english name for a landmass known for centuries by Worldwide traders since ancient times that dealt in economics and trade with the 1st Emperor of China - of Chin dynasty) is made up largely of the biggest ETHNIC group - the Han, by DNA and distinct facial features.
No true Han would ever forget the golden age of Han dynasty of the landmass known in English or its linguistic pronunciation back then and now as China, For an amazing 300 yrs, it uplifted the Hans thru fair governance and society.
Thus, it is the dream of every Han born that they can rebuild back the golden age of Han dynasty to uplift current lives further, and contribute further to Humankind as Han ancestors had done , in peace, stability and shared knowledge gained, regardless if they are now under the control of the brutal and savage Communists ruling China under the ZhongGuo dynasty today, or living outside of the landmass known in English as China.....
