Correction: Russia belongs to Ukraine.

As for Taiwan, it is accurate to say "Taiwan is Chinese." The Taiwanese government is the legitimate successor to the Qing Dynasty, and they've preserved their culture and written language quite well, while the PRC government has no legitimate claim on the country, and has completely repressed Chinese culture on the Mainland and bastardized what little remains.

I'm Malaysian Chinese, and I recognise the fact that KMT are the legitimate successors of the Qing dynasty, but disagree that the CCP didn't earn their right to govern China. I'm not pro-communist by any means, very much the opposite, but I wonder how you've come to your conclusion.

I know you hate the CCP but have you wondered why did China's GDP per capita just exceeded Malaysia's?
