@Deleted User that's pretty cool

the logging town has been abandoned since the late 90's

actual construction was 70's

So its been there awhile. I remember exploring an abandoned mining town here. was really cool

early education is important

@Deleted User Hong Kong is british

I know. When it was turned back over to the Chinese in 1997 over a million fled to Canada

@Dixielandmerchant

British Army looks weird

Don't remember them having all that red stuff

@Deleted User Hong Kong hasn't been British since 1997

I know. Mick said "Hong Kong is British" as in presently

Hong Kong is rightfully British

The communist state didn't exist in 1847

It's like the UK demanding Oregon

@Deleted User

China existed though, and the ROC was the lawful successor of the Qing Empire

The PRC is the lawful successor of the ROC

PRC is illegal

prefer the ROC than PRC

cos communism is cancer

No authority is illegal nor lawful
If you are able to enforce your authority over a nation, then you are the authority.

Tho I would prefer ROC too <:GWtogaTheSaddest:384871977149661184>

If PRC is illegal then British rule of HK and any other overseas territory would be illegal

For that matter, US would be illegal

Most of the British Isles would be illegal

Until the 80s, ROC was a socialist dictatorship btw

And PRC has steadily moved away from communism and more towards nationalism with a contradictory name

Sun Yat Sen was leaning socialist too

I remember the KMT split to left and right wing factions at some point

It was clearly and self admittedly socialist until the 80s

Like the Nazi brand of socialism

They were even trained by the Wehrmacht, wore the same uniforms, used the same weapons, and some Chinese served in the Wehrmacht in Europe

Sino-German split happened after Japan invaded

Well yeah
The Wehrmacht did assist to train a few divisions of the Nationalist army, though some of them got wasted in defending Shanghai
The German advisors advised Chiang not to hold onto Shanghai and focus on moving the bulk of their forces Westwards.

Chiang Wei Kuo was one of the prominent ones who served in the Wehrmacht, tho he got called back to China before he was able to participate in the invasion of Poland

Left Wing KMT are currently A political party in China However its mostly the CPC

Oh yeah the current left wing KMT is a puppet political party with no real influence

There's several small parties, and usually their leadership are also CPC
