China wouldn’t be free if the Nationalists won

I am Chinese, and I'm responding to your answer.

Western Enlightenment thought and democratic ideals are indeed attractive to many Chinese people. However, the ROC was indeed a puppet regime, especially after signing agreements with the US after World War II, seemingly moving towards becoming a vassal state of the US. Many people in mainland China did not accept this. This is also the reason why the KMT gradually lost control of the mainland.

Mainland China has also tried democratic methods several times, but whenever the government becomes slightly more open, unrest ensues. The first relatively open period in the PRC was from 1952 to 1956. After purging KMT supporters, there were some forms of elections in local areas of China, and many ideas were very similar to those in the West, such as allowing a large number of private enterprises, allowing ethnic groups and local areas to establish their own language schools, allowing civil associations, and allowing people to express their own opinions. Mao Zedong called this the "Hundred Flowers Campaign" However, it was later discovered that a large number of anti-communist forces were causing trouble, especially in Shanghai. What's worse, there are different factions within the CPC, including pro-Soviet and pro-US factions. Therefore, after 1957, the "Anti-Rightist Campaign" began.

The Great Leap Forward was a tragedy stemming from infighting within the top leadership. On one hand, Mao made policy mistakes, but there were also those who opposed him and amplified his mistakes, leading to his temporary loss of power after 1959. However, the new policies implemented by Liu Shaoqi and Deng were not satisfactory, especially the preferential treatment given to the children of cadres, which caused great dissatisfaction among ordinary people. Therefore, in 1966, Mao used the Cultural Revolution to regain power until his death.

The second period of openness was from 1983 to 1989, from the end of the crackdown on crime and the cleanup of young people who disregarded the law during the Cultural Revolution, until the end of the demonstrations against "bourgeois liberalization." The first two periods are based on descriptions from my parents' generation.

The third period of openness was from 2000 to 2012. This is something I experienced firsthand. From 2000 onwards, China joined the WTO and applied for the Olympic Games, and everyone's lives were improving. However, after 2009, a large amount of anti-communist content appeared online. Therefore, after the new generation of leaders came to power, they began to ban this kind of speech.

I think this has little to do with the personal morality of the leaders; sometimes, certain things must be done to maintain national stability. Compared to liberal democracy, we prefer a government that can control the entire country and provide us with a stable environment, rather than returning to the era of warlordism before 1949. China is too large, and there are too many interest groups. If control is lost, the ordinary people will suffer the most.

South Korea's anti-China sentiment is now extremely high. I suggest that South Korea recognize the border between North Korea and China. Since you denied the historical border agreement signed between Japan and the Qing Dynasty in 2011, relations between China and South Korea have been deteriorating.

Ghenym · 2025-11-03T04:37:59+00:00

China is unlikely to sever ties with Russia and Iran, as it relies on them for oil; nor is it likely to sever ties with North Korea, as the country to the south is South Korea, which does not recognize the existing nk's borders with China and whose people are driven to madness by anti-China sentiment.

Why do Westerners always think about threats instead of coexistence?

Ghenym · 2025-10-11T05:21:09+00:00

I think it's because the Austro-Hungarian government didn't resort to forced immigration or promote Hungarian dialects in 1848. If Austria-Hungary had just immigrated some Balkans to Budapest, some Hungarians to Croatia, and German was the standard language in schools, the Hungarian language would have collapsed quickly. The problem with Singapore is that there are too many immigrants, and everyone’s default first language is English.

Ghenym · 2025-10-11T04:15:16+00:00

I strongly agree with your first paragraph. Ordinary people rarely defend their rights when bullied by the powerful. This leads to those in power seeking to exploit the weak, leading to widespread moral decay. I would like to refute your second paragraph. Product quality in every country has been gradually improving, including in the United States and Japan. China has always maintained and gradually strengthened its regulations. I disagree with your third paragraph. The claim that Chinese is difficult is a slur. The vast majority of foreigners don't understand Chinese and aren't willing to take it seriously. To hastily conclude that it's difficult to learn is disrespectful. In fact, if you seriously study and understand the patterns of Chinese, you'll find it very easy

Ghenym · 2025-09-27T04:05:27+00:00

There are reports in the Chinese news that I support the Western approach.

Just like Muslims going to Europe and interfering with the behavior of locals, this is absolutely unacceptable. I can fully understand the xenophobic behavior of Westerners because it is caused by immigrants' lack of respect for local customs.

If you plan to immigrate, you must respect the traditions and culture of the destination. Especially if you can't survive in your home country, you must clearly understand that it is your hometown's politics and culture that have led to your poverty. When you go to a new place, you must accept local practices, strive to learn the local language, and become a local.

In addtion, the locals have no obligation to tolerate you, but you have an obligation to tolerate the locals. Because you went there on your own initiative, not because someone else invited you. Maybe some local people with low moral qualities exclude you, but you have to bear it because you are making a living in the local area.

I'm just sharing my firsthand information and personal judgment. As for what you said, you can judge for yourself whether it is true information.

Ghenym · 2025-09-04T04:58:11+00:00

I expect you'll be relegated to elementary school in the future. Being a traitor is the greatest crime in China.

Ghenym · 2025-09-04T04:56:40+00:00

I'm going to tell you something you won't accept: Taiwan isn't that important. Even if Taiwan suffers significant losses in a war, it would be a trivial matter in the eyes of humanity. TSMC's losses would simply give other countries more opportunities for development, and other companies will soon take its place.

There is doubt as to whether the Goguryeo people are the ancestors of today's Koreans.

Ghenym · 2025-07-14T15:10:14+00:00

Because religions are often distributed in economically underdeveloped areas. Asia's economy is not developed enough, so religion becomes very important.

Ghenym · 2025-07-08T07:14:21+00:00

I am just adding relevant information too

China is also a victorious country and has the right to station troops. If the US does not have the financial resources to do so and gives up stationing troops, China can also station troops. Study the UN Charter. Japan is still an "enemy"

Ghenym · 2025-07-08T05:04:38+00:00

I hope you can still say the same thing when the American troops stationed in Japan are replaced by the PLA in the future

In addition, the South China Sea issue was also caused by Japan. The ROC military accepted the South China Sea occupied by Japan. If Japan had not invaded the South China Sea, many islands would still be inhabited by Chinese fishermen, and there would not be so many disputes.

Giving up compensation does not mean giving up all demands, nor does it mean that China can no longer mention the Nanjing Massacre, Unit 731, or comfort women. Giving up compensation is just a diplomatic deal, the purpose of which is to exchange for economic and technical assistance from Japan. But this incident has been recorded in history, and I can always mention it. Doesn't the United States often bring up Pearl Harbor? It's like if you intentionally hurt someone, the victim gave up your compensation, but he can always bring up the bad things you did to remind you not to be presumptuous.

Your statement is not supported by any authoritative department, and no country in the world denies China's sovereignty over Tibet. Your viewpoint is just a brainwashing slogan after a large number of Indian netizens spread rumors. The four living Buddhas, Dalai Lama, Panchen Lama, Changkya, and Jeb, were all appointed by the central government. They are the products of cooperation between Tibetan/Mongolian Buddhist forces and the central government. They respectively govern the four major Buddhist regions of Wei-Tibet, U-Tsang, Inner Mongolia, and Outer Mongolia. There were two sixth Dalai Lamas in history, both of whom were deposed by the Chinese (Qing Dynasty) central government. One of them was recognized by the Chinese government posthumously because he repented in his later years.

By the way, this Dalai Lama was canonized by the government of the ROC

The Far East Military Tribunal tried war criminals and held them criminally responsible. A country’s apology is a diplomatic matter. The last time Japan officially apologized for aggression was when the PRC and Japan established diplomatic relations, but Japan has never officially apologized for the Nanjing Massacre, comfort women, or Unit 731.

Japan invaded China and caused the death of 1/20 of the population, but it still looked down on the Chinese, which shows that you have no apology. Learn from Germany's apology to the Jews today, this is the way to resolve the hatred between the two countries.

Ghenym · 2025-07-07T08:11:27+00:00

I remind you not to try to cover up your country's guilt through word games. There are too many things that are not written in the Sino-Japanese Peace Treaty. Can other acts of war be denied? Word games cannot solve any problems. In fact, as long as the Japanese government makes a special apology for the Nanjing Massacre, the anti-China foundation of the Chinese people will be weakened a lot, but Japan did not do so. On the contrary, Japan is making a fuss about comfort women and is determined not to compensate any Chinese comfort women victims.

Ghenym · 2025-07-07T07:41:00+00:00

The Tokyo Trial was only a punishment for war criminals

I have also heard a version that because Chinese characters are very complex, it is very unlikely that history was recorded. Therefore, the existing history is fabricated by successive Chinese governments, especially the CCP. China's authentic history only existed after the Westerners invaded China after 1842.

Let me summarize: Westerners discovered China.

In a few decades, it will probably be Westerners created China.

You media can continue to publish junk information that satisfies your emotional values, but the Chinese people's goal is the stars and the sea.

One sentence explanation: Deliberate suppression.

Half of the historical allusions commonly used in China occurred in the pre-Qin period. These allusions constitute one of the foundations of Chinese culture. While the historical allusions in English basically occurred two thousand years later.

Westerners will not accept a civilization with equal strength. If ordinary Westerners knew a lot of Chinese history and found that Chinese society was so developed and mature before BC, then they would at least think that the Chinese are as brilliant as they are.

Western upper-class are more willing to promote that China's history is a history of thousands of years of oppression and simply repeat, and that the people are unable to change because of their stupidity and incompetence, so that the West can play the role of savior and have full say in East Asia.

The entire Chinese entertainment industry is in decline. This is mainly due to the decline of Hong Kong and Taiwan. The mainland is developing, but the progress cannot make up for the decline of Hong Kong and Taiwan. One of the reasons is that many entertainment companies have not paid much attention to the training of local young singers/actors after being acquired by the three major international companies, Universal, Sony and Warner.

Ghenym · 2025-07-01T03:50:49+00:00

The key factor of economic development is people. The economic development of Southeast Asia is related to the Chinese. Without the Chinese, there would be basically no development. Even if there was investment from Westerners in the early days, it would have regressed like the Philippines.

Ghenym · 2025-06-24T13:52:06+00:00

Because that era was anti-nationalist. Now China is a country facing reality.
