When American Commodore Matthew Perry asked the Qing government in 1854 about Taiwan, the Qing, probably partly dissembling, told Perry that Taiwan was a barbarian island which the Qing did not control. From 1895 until 1945, Taiwan was a part of Japan. The majority of Taiwanese today do not consider themselves Chinese (many elderly people, such as the late statesman Lee Teng-hui, feel much closer to Japan). The complicated waishengren (“outsider”) vs. benshengren (“native”) dichotomy is made even more complex, as the analyst Fukada argues, by the fact that the Taiwanese must contend with two groups claiming that their island is “Chinese”: the Nationalists (KMT) and the Communists (PRC).
There is a third consideration, however, which may be the most important of all. Analyst Fukada Moe, and Jason Ho, one of the lead designers of flight control and image-displacement systems for the F-35 fighter jet, told political watcher Sargis Sangari in April that Taiwan has become a hotbed for the CCP theft of American military and semiconductor technology. According to Fukada, this deception runs deep, with major players in the telecom industry in Japan working with Green Gang actors inside of Taiwan to funnel American and Japanese know-how to the PRC for profit. Taiwan, in other words, may have become, in part, a false front operation for the PRC. Yet another consequence of the invasion by a corrupt cabal of murderous warlords in 1949.
Yup we were definitely not taught this in school. I really am not surprised that Taiwan would be a false-front and everything was saber rattling to foment more espionage opportunities. The real Taiwanese, like all real people of every country, are caught in the "crossfire" of colluding oppositions.
Exactly. Every government of consequence, and some that arent, has been infiltrated. Taiwan has its own deep state problems and some big problems with east asian secret societies.
Take a good look at the government of Taiwan. Americans know even less history of Taiwan than we did Ukraine and Russia.

I urge you to read the entire article.
Also, look into Taiwans leader, Tsai Ing-wen.

Do some further research on the Green Gang.
