I bet the artist drew the scene without the chained-up lady first, and the editor went "Well it's fine, but we really need one bodacious babe in each painting, or people are going to lose interest. At least one." and the artist sighed and added one, awkwardly.

No see, this analogy makes sense because A: The GMD is the older, more established party (uh by a decade or two), and B: the CPC rose up in rebellion against the former (uh, hm, after their leaders started getting arrested and hanged, and their members killed, and their peasant support base also started getting killed) so yeah since the Communists started the civil war it makes sense
Taiwan does have some cool history when it comes to resisting colonization efforts, like the Hakka shooting up the Japanese forces when they first landed in 1898 (and then getting murdered in retaliation unfortunately) (also the Hakka were themselves settlers or descendants of settlers, of course. "The history is complicated")
and the indigenous Seediq chopping off heads of Japanese occupation forces a couple of decades later (and then getting murdered in retaliation unfortunately)
but for some reason I don't expect that guy to know any of that. I may be wrong but I'm going to assume someone calling themselves Chicagofire, complaining about "sweeping generalization of americans" and using terms like "PRC" and "Formosa" is, in fact, a USian, and like most USians, know nothing of world history
Hunan food is great but in my opinion Jiangxi food is kind of boring. Hunan food is smoky, fragrant, rich and spicy. Jiangxi food has less of the smoky, fragrant and rich, and just ups the spicy.
Yeah there are Sichuan and Hunan restaurants on every block of every city, especially somewhere coastal where red bloodedred state spicers move for work
There should be a little pink bleed-through spot in the Guangdong delta from all the Hunanese and Sichuanese living in Shenzhen lol
also i didn't expect Hainan to not be green. in my experience their food is like Fujianese or Taiwanese, savory and sweet and brothy, with no chilies at all.
I don't know in which context the Chinese 4723 is used, I've only ever seen the Gregorian calendar year used in the mainland. Minguo is used pretty often in Taiwan though (starting the count from the Xinhai revolution) but the Gregorian year is also used. All official documents, IDs etc will use Minguo years though
Just because we've disproved that Santa Claus is real, that doesn't change the obvious fact that there's a workshop on the north pole where all the kids' toys are made by elves. This is common knowledge
IME those are bike/scooter lanes but they tend to become unofficial parking spaces for cars and then unofficial bypass car lanes for "smart" people during busy traffic times
