"Ok, the book did mention some of economical downfall of Taiwan in the first year of Chinese takeover, but not the medical downfall. Also, I had forgotten how much the KMT were also imperialist in wanting places like Tibet etc. In addition Chen had ordered to exterminat traitors some time after the feb28 incident and the phrase is su jian and there is jian again. I saw that several times in my life." — Mar 21, 2026 01:57AM
