If he came alive today, would he be happy? And who followed his vision better, China or Taiwan?
>>18468205He would absolutely favor the Communists, and call the Taiwanese 'splitters'. The Japanese-sponsored government was the last hope for China.
>>18468205He was a believer in democracy so of course would favor the Taiwanese government system more but still would be very proud of the accomplishments and independence of modern day China. Also, he wouldn't have been happy with Chiang's rule but Mao's rule with his cultural revolution would have horrified him far more.
>>18468205This guy was a crypto communist third worldist and it's surprising no one here knows that. Go read his 1921 pan asianism speech where he glazes Japan and the Soviet union and rants about the evil European colonizers.
>>18468426>The country raped by colonialism, hates colonialism?! No way!
>>18468430Under Sun Yat Sen, the KMT were pro-Soviet Union leftists. It wasn’t till the 1927 April incident that changed.
>>18468430The manchu barbarians were far worse for China than the Europeans. The century of humiliation didn't begin in 1840, it began in 1644.
>>18468452Both were colonizers of China.
>>18468458Japan and Russia are 2 of the most evil empires to ever exist. So it shows Sun yat sen's political naivete to rely on them.
