| Taiwan Is The Real China. The "People's" Republic Of China Is An Illegitimate Dictatorship |

| [CD Media Dec 29,2021] All dictatorships are illegitimate, because all dictatorships deny and crush the most essential traits of human beings: free will, creativity, and love. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP), as is typical of all dictatorships, excels at the destruction of the human soul and freedom. The CCP has done its best to make the world afraid of its power, but one tiny country is saying "no." Kudos to Lithuania for recognizing Taiwan and standing up to the Chinese Communist Party. Lithuania is confronting a bully at great risk to its prosperity and well-being, while much larger countries slink away. Accommodating totalitarians never works. Thugs and criminals who murdered tens of millions of innocent civilians have no conscience and will not change their behavior unless they are forced to do so by a stronger opponent. Communist China demands that the world acknowledge that the real China is Communist China and that Taiwan has no validity as a separate country. They rattle their sabers and snarl threats to anyone who dares to question their narrative about Taiwan. Companies and individuals who want to profit from trade with Mainland China meekly apologize and move on, kicking Taiwan to the curb. To those who make millions of dollars from the Communist Chinese while abandoning Taiwan, one might suggest that they remember the words of Jesus in Mark 8:36: "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" But let’s consider for a moment the moral status of Taiwan compared to the CCP. And I say "CCP"—not "Mainland China"—because the communists in China are a minority of fascists who have enslaved their citizens and do not represent the hearts and minds of their people. Slavery is the dividing line. The CCP might say that they don’t practice slavery, but enslaving an entire society under a totalitarian system of oppression fits the bill. It’s not just China, of course. North Korea, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Cuba, Venezuela, and every other repressive regime in the world can be succinctly labeled as a country of "illegitimate slavers." Someone might point to the long history of conquest in the world and excuse the CCP as the military victor in an internal conflict. Mao Zedong won the war and to the victor go the spoils. Hasn’t that happened everywhere in the world, throughout history? Look at Britain: the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes occupied England and became "the rightful rulers," and then the Normans conquered the Anglo-Saxons. Such is life, and such is history. |

| #3 The Kuomintang (Nationalists) refugees from the Mainland also trampled all over the rights of the indigenous Taiwanese. Mandarin dialect was enforced in all the schools for example. Even so their cruelties were retail level while the CCP under Mao was, and is butchering people on an industrial scale. |

| #2 Viet Nam could also be free if we had been willing to do what we did in Korea. I am against nation building, but I am really really against half nation building. |

| #1 Chiang Kai-shek wasn't a model 'republican' either. Like Syngman Rhee in South Korea it was our dictator was better than your dictator era. Eventually both states evolved into legitimate representative government. |
