As far as I’m concerned, the legit government of Beijing is in Taipei, not Beijing. Imagine how much safer and prosperous the world would be if the Nationalists hadn’t ended up in exile, if China hadn’t ended up under the control of insecure Commies.
The communist occupation of the mainland must go.

The Chinese have suffered the most. Mao murdered tens of millions of Chinese citizens. One estimate, about 75M.
China has moved somewhat away from communism. Moving towards capitalism has taken millions of Chinese out of poverty. I wish the best for mainland Chinese people, but never at the expense of Taiwan.
As a separate matter, I read once that Nationalists were on the cusp of victory before being influenced by communist sympathizers inside an American Administration. I don’t recall whether the President was FDR or Truman.
