Lei Jiang You are worng . Badly worng. Before KMT came to Taiwan,Taiwan was already one of the most advance area in Asia. Education、economic 、 industry、Infrastructure...,everything we needed to be an advance country were already built by Japanese. In fact,the only thing KMT brought to Taiwan is there own people and the distruction they brought to Taiwan is even bigger than Japanese.
Our democracy、freedom、culture weren't given by KMT,for 50 years they run the goverment,Taiwanese were not free nor will treated. Basicly the same situation in your country only we have much much better ecnomic. We fight for our own democracy、freedom、culture in the 80's 90's.You might guess it,yes ,they are the 民進黨. In fact is not the 民進黨,but 民進黨 was built by
exactly same people who fight against the KMT. The original 民進黨 wasn't 台獨 as you think,the enemy they fight against with is KMT , that's why they are called the DPP(DEMOCRATIC PROGRESSIVE PARTY).
Now you might think I'm brainwashed by DPP,you may think as you wish,but I'm only telling the truth. And this is the only truth no matter what you think or heard.
Is not Taiwanese always likes to hate,and the reason why we hate KMT and China is you guys never stop telling that Taiwn belongs to China and which is not true. And the reason why we consider Taiwan as an independent country is not the "brainwash by DPP" , is since we born , we have never recive any order and no need to follow any words form China gorvermont.
We are in fact always independent. We were never apart of China and we never share same laws or anything eles,that means we couldn't be a same country.
So,no matter if ROC still exsits,Taiwan is not ruled by China,Taiwan is not apart of China.
We've could have not be involved to the war between KMT and CPC, but KMT came,and we are involved now.
So stop thinking pathiticly that we should be grateful to KMT,we wern't been brainwashed by DPP and not blinded. And you guys can keep dreaming about you will replace USA and became the hyperpower,and also you can keep thinking that your army is unstoppable , that you can rule Taiwan any time you want , but than it will be you guys need to wake up.
