    And what about tens of thousands of civilians The KMT murdered to create the ROC?

    Circular argument. How many native Taiwanese did the Han Chinese kill in the 1600s for the Qing to lay claim to the island?

      How is that a circular argument? And how does that support your argument? Is it a virtuous act of self determination if it deprives the right to self determination from others?

      The kmt did not believe in the people’s right to self determination, which is self evident in their slaughtering of tens of thousands of its own citizens who protested against the kmt government.
