>>24739295They might have existed, but they would have disappeared over time, just as other barbarisms faded with time elsewhere. We have Taiwan to compare mainland China to. Taiwan never fell under the yoke of socialism. They never underwent the Maoist horrors. They never had their spirit broken and rended beyond repair by subhuman beasts like Mao himself. And because of all of this, Taiwan is now a vastly superior country compared to China. The difference is palpable.
China could have been truly great.
