  • Way to cut off Japan from that headline lol.

    Japan’s ‘imperialist forces’ divided Taiwan from mainland, KMT’s Cheng Li-wun says

    Taiwanese opposition leader Cheng Li-wun blamed Japanese “imperialist forces” for dividing mainland China and Taiwan, as she paid tribute to Chinese revolutionary Sun Yat-sen at his mausoleum in Nanjing on Wednesday.
    In a speech delivered after the Kuomintang (KMT) chairwoman laid a floral wreath before a statue of the founder of modern China, Cheng said Taiwan became a Japanese colony at a time of national weakness, following the 1895 defeat of China in the first Sino-Japanese war.

    She said that after the 1911 revolution that overthrew the Qing dynasty (1644-1911), Taiwanese people were “filled with excitement”, with intellectuals hoping “a revitalised China would one day recover Taiwan and end Japanese colonial rule”.

    I don’t think the oppressed care if you are wishful for this or that time if it makes no difference to them. They’d probably understand that you were being wishful for a time when things were better for you, same as they undoubtedly are if things have become worse.

    The idea that you’re never allowed to be wishful ever, even when things have gone worse, because someone somewhere is always going to be oppressed is a bit nonsensical.

    I bet Iranians now are wishful for Obama, for example.
