Thank you for starting the podcast. My parents migrated to Taiwan in 1949. I was born on the island. Came to the states after college and stayed ever since. I will share this channel with my daughters. Thank you again.
Thanks for your support! I'll do my best to be as informative as possible. People like your daughters are the target audience of organizations like FAPA, taking advantage of the fact that people like them may have this innate longing to better understand their roots, while transforming them into footsoldiers of their separatist ideology, but not just any separatist ideology, but an "American savior" type of separatism that's out of place even in Taiwan

that'll definitely be discussed down the line. my priority with this podcast is to provide all sorts of information that'll help people make better sense of what's being presented by the media and engage with information more critically
I want a video of you, Carl, or both talking about all Chinese contributions to Japanese culture. A silver bullet to silence the chuds, if you will. I just dont like plagiarism, people should know. Anyway nice video
I would like to learn more about the Taiwan as a Japanese colony and the attitudes of Taiwanese Chinese today towards the Japanese; and whether that features in the attitude towards Mainland China. Thanks.
Xiangyu, there are rumours that Tsai Ing Wen is Japanese. I have heard that there are hundreds of thousands of Japanese descendants in Taiwan. But you said that the number of Japanese descendants are minute. Can you clarify on this?
there's nothing to clarify. People who don't understand Taiwan's history came to the conclusion that many Japanese stayed behind after retrocession, but that's simply not true. A lot of the early separatists who came from the landed aristocracy and the nascent local bourgeoisie had sympathies or even loyalties towards the Japanese because they were afforded privileges under Japanese rule that they felt were taken away by the KMT. People who repeat the claim that separatism was the result of Japanese people staying behind are historically illiterate.
