Reply to comment by FauxVacuum in Taiwan's Tsai arrives in US to warnings from China of 'serious confrontation' by benh999

The Communist Party won the civil war and became the legitimate government of China. By your logic the Union is not a legitimately government and people shouldn't get upset when the South still flies Confederacy flags?

First, the Confederacy was never the legitimate government of the United States, while Chiang Kai Shek's government was in China. Second, Mao never completely overthrew all of China, just the mainland. So by your logic, well, I can't find any logic there, just an attempt to equate two very unrelatable scenarios.

But they never took Taiwan. They have never governed Taiwan.
