We, the Taiwanese people are the original China. Before China changed the characters and language and destroyed thousands of years worth of heritage.
Characters that no one could read, because the vast majority of people were illiterate peasants living under pre-industrial feudalism and suffering from frequent famines.
My parents and the older folks still dream about taking back the mainland Taiwan. The KMT party here tries very hard to make it happen.
The Chinese prior to the civil war had every right to want to form their own government. Their government was terrible and they fought to survive. They eventually got what they wanted. Their own government that they ruled themselves.
Taiwan also saw growth but differently than China. We decided to end martial law in the late 80s and changed to a full democracy. We had our first elections in 97.
Both countries went different paths. Two countries of people wanted to rule on their terms.
Leave us alone China. You got what you wanted. Leave our tiny haven alone.

The KMT are fascist.
