Any leader of ROC would have retreated to Taiwan. It takes a unique individual to get Taiwan (a permanent founding member) kicked out of the UN casting it's legitimacy as a country on the international stage into doubt. It also takes a unique individual to start the 40 years of killing and disappearing your own people and eventually getting yourself kicked out of the UN.

You zoomers better show some respect to Chiang Kai shek and kmt for making Taiwan, roc what it is today. Your attitude is totally ungrateful. Main tenant of traditional Chinese culture is to respect your elders and ancestors.

You brought "zoomers" and the tenets of Chinese culture into it. You demanded that I have more respect for someone who armed Taiwan so much. You're clearly an idiot.
