Taiwan is NOT part of China. China belongs to Taiwan, it’s been this way since 1948. At last he recognizes the Clinton/Obama/Biden axis of evil for the criminals they are.

Four years ago, I met a “visiting scholar” from China university at the local track where I go almost daily. She was quite nice and of course she was there to “practice her English.” Over time we discussed Chinese history and politics. Because she was at US university in university town, she thought America was entirely leftist. Anyway, one day we were discussing Taiwan. She spoke the party line about history and Taiwan belonging to China and wanted to know my thoughts. I asked her why it would be necessary for China to kill many people in Taiwan to claim a right to the island? Why can’t we just accept things as the way they are and move forward? But more importantly I made the point you made - how would she feel if there are people outside of China who believe that China really belongs to Taiwan? And that undermining the CCP was acceptable to restore the “party of Chang kai-shek” to rule over China. Why was the CCP position the only correct position? Maybe it isn’t?

It was like a small earthquake. I am sorry to say when she returned to China after a year, I lost all contact with her, but as she was a married woman with two children further communication that would be CCP monitored - realistically for cultural an political reasons it could not go on. I will say that by the end of her sabbatical, she said she learned much more about America than she ever imagined, despite living in a college town, and that she was going to miss the freedoms that we have here, including the freedom of thought.
