@jchyip I live in an adjacent city (Pasadena) and this kind of thing isn't too surprising. Arcadia is majority Asian American, and a lot of those Asian Americans still have strong ties to the old country. Not too long ago, there was a big disagreement about whether to teach traditional or simplified Chinese writing in Mandarin classes, which was a proxy for disagreements between Taiwan and PRC. It's totally believable that the Chinese government would target local politicians there.

@mayintoronto @cxiao @liztai The other thing I was led to believe was that mao bad, Chiang Kai Shek good. He was on team US. My family is from HK so we definitely had our biases. Two years ago when I visited Taiwan for the first time, I realized that not even people in TW believe he was the good guy in the story. He brutally murdered a lot of people in TW and installed himself basically as an emperor who killed so much he was super paranoid of getting assassinated at the end of his life. I am trying to relearn the stories I was told as a kid but from a different pov now. The only one I haven't taken up is the Japanese version of Nanking since I think they just pretend it never happened.
