Not to take sides here, but China is big and saying "Chinese culture" is a bit like "European culture". Didn't the ROC displace the native culture and languages

Also I would think the abolisment of imperal rule and a lot of imperial culture is one of the very few things KMT and CCP can agree on.
- mlindner 5y agoTaiwan has it even stranger as they were ruled by Japan for 50 years (long before WW2) so much of their culture had started to become Japanese culture or a Japanese-Taiwanese hybrid culture. Japan massively modernized the country to the point that when Taiwan has handed back to China, Taiwan was more advanced than China. I read one description that described it as being re-invaded by a bunch of uncultured ruffians that went looting and pillaging everywhere.
