My sources tell me Taiwan is chock full of Chinese people.

I used to have Taiwanese co-workers who would set anyone straight very quickly and vehemently if they ever referred to them as “Chinese”.

I used to have Taiwanese co-workers who would set anyone straight very quickly and vehemently if they ever referred to them as “Chinese”.

I understand their emotion, but a people does not cease to be a people because of a day on the calendar or a political sundering.

They are Chinese in the strictest sense of the word.

Quick sidenote:

I once worked with a lad from Northern Ireland. He had been a po-po over there. Or a bobby, or whatever.

He once told me he was an Irishman (because he was from Northern Ireland).

I corrected him. I told him he was a land grabbing sassenach and an occupying saxon.

Living on the land does not make you part of the land.

And in honor of that sidenote, I present you with this.
