I personally think that they had potential in promoting democracy in Asia, not this one party communist meme. What if they had less corruption in their party in the beginning of the century? China WOULD be the smartest nation in the world, it'd be the USA on steroids. Thoughts?

Are you from taiwan?

No, I'm not Taiwanese. I typed "Red pill" in Chinese. As in the 中国国民党 (Excuse my filthy Communist characters) is redpilled.

Why? They were honestly closer to Mussolini's fascism than any notion of democracy, at least during Chiang's rule.
>What if they had less corruption in their party in the beginning of the century?
I'm not sure corruption was their biggest problem. It was bad and endemic, to be sure, but they never really grew from anything more than a warlord party extorting tribute on a roving basis. Without some theory of legitimacy, or ability to staff all of China with their own people instead of acting like a high king to vassal kings, they never really had a chance.
> China WOULD be the smartest nation in the world, it'd be the USA on steroids
A unified, non communist China COULD be the world's superpower. Or it could have fallen apart due to different governmental mistakes than the ones the Communists made.

Oh, alright. Thanks.
So the blues are red pilled?
Thanks son
It's okay, the commie characters are excusable.

I agree with this response, thank you anonymous. I just think that since the Republic of China has multiple parties today, this may have followed a similar path. But thank you for this input.

Given that they turned into a dictatorship after the end of the civil war, I'd say that's a bit far-fetched.

They need to pay off all those bonds they sold "to fight the Japanese".

>Taiwan is formed of 20 million Hokkien Chinese that reject their identity
It's not "their" identity if they've never considered themselves Chinese sempai

It's the same with Tibet isn't it? Rejecting the Chinese identity and all
The Kuomintang administration was corrupt, ludicrously so. Like, even worse than 1920s USA age of robber barons corruption. Part of why the CCP was more popular was because of the KMT's reputation as a peasant crushing corrupt government.
US advisors dislike of the KMT is why the narrative for so long was that the KMT was more interested in fighting the CCP than the IJA while the CCP fought the Japanese, when these days we believe that the KMT bore the brunt of the fighting with Japan while the CCP barely did anything.

They consider themselves ethnically and culturally Chinese but not affiliated with the government of the Mainland. Similar to other satellites and diaspora Chinese communities e.g. Hong Kong, Singapore

KMT in China would have been a one party nationalist meme, just maybe with no stupid Great Leap Forward and no retarded Cultural Revolution.
