Mad Scientist, when you go to Kimen, please do ask the residents of what they think and whether they want Taiwan Independence. It is the only port with direct transportation link with Mainland China, I believe.

I will, I have heard that Taiwanese fishermen don't really catch fish anymore, but secretly trade with mainland China. The worst kept secret in Kinmen.
Zcheng, how come China hasn't taken overe this isalnd especially being so close to China ?

More likely because of this ;
Kuningtou War Museum is one of Kinmen's best museums. On Oct 25, 1949, tens of thousands of Chinese troops landed on Kinmen's northwest shores in Kuningtou. China attempted to take the island and, according to Chinese propaganda, "wash Taiwan with blood."
But most of the Chinese troops were either killed or captured in the bloody battle.
Maybe one ass-kicking was enough

what does the timelin have to do with anything ? All I said is when the KMT retereated to Formosa and other islands. The Chinese tried to take quemoy and were repulsed with massive losses. That is all, it has nothing to do with Hainan Island.

I do not deny the failure in Kinmen around 1949. That failure leaded to the success in Hainan. Spending 4 years in HK does not mean you know much about China, esp Chinese History.

Thankyou, what was the title of the thread Kinmen Island not Hainan.
I got to know a few free Chinese poeple, no one likes the communists HK or Taiwan simple as that. I know a fair bit about 20th century Chinese history.
Besides look at Mao, he was a paedophile for gods sake as bad as Beria under Stalin.

That is the propaganda you received and accepted. Do not simply assume they are facts. Deny ignorance please.
