Proud to be a Taiwanese-American As Hong Kong entered thirteenth week protest, they want to have FREEDOM, they don't want under the China's terror, totalitarianism, and control. If you ask a Hongkonger in USA who escaped out from Hong Kong before 19 & 97, they will reply you that they are Hongkonger, they won't admit they are Chinese. If you ask a Hongkonger in Hong Kong now, there is 86 % of them want to be under British colony again. If you ask a Taiwanese where they came from, 9.5 out of 10 will say they are Taiwanese, not a Chinese. I have lived in USA for 39 years, there was a questionnaire about "race" on voting ballot, there was a checkbox said Chinese and a Other. Most of Taiwanese in USA choose Other and wrote Taiwanese on the line. I have many Hong Kong friends and Taiwanese friends, they did the same as I did on the U.S. ballot. My ancestors have been in Taiwan for 400 years. Although I was not born yet when Chiang Kai-Shek escaped to Taiwan in 19 & 49. I knew the Feb 28 incident in Taiwan that k*lled thousand of Taiwanese in 58 days. I don't need an Aussie to tell me repeatedly that we had Chiang Kai-Shek who massacred Taiwanese. We didn't like Chiang either but they had weapons, but Taiwanese didn't. Also 58 days massacre is small scale in comparison of Cultural Revolution for a decade that million and million of people had been massacred because they were intelligent and rich people. Mao sent Red Guards (mostly rebellion teenagers) entered to school campuses, took the professors, teachers, principals, ... entered the rich landowners house and k*lled them and their relatives. Who said some justice words for those people? Nobody dared to protect those intelligent scholars because they would die with them. And yet, the communist government not allow people to talk about the history. They think if nobody talked Cultural Revolution, the rest of the world won't know. So, they don't allow Google to tell the truth. Baidu has the censorship that approved by Chinese government. In China, there are thousand of surveillance camera at the four corner of intersection. Once you have been suspected as a protestor, they can use your face to identify you. Is this legal? Those cameras are not for traffic or accidents because police rarely care about the traffic accidents. But if you have different opinions than government, you will be caught. There are Chinese people have been brainwashed from the textbooks and their propaganda that Hong Kong and Taiwan are part of China. Let me ask Chinese, if we are one of your provinces why you want to weapon attack us to flat for 7 days and 7 nights. We have done nothing wrong to your country. We just have Democracy education and believe in what we think is correct. We have presidential election every 4 yrs, that is our voice. Taiwan has successfully converted to a Democracy country, we have had 4 presidents that have been elected from different parties i.e. Mr. Lee, Mr. Chen, Mr. Ma and Ms Tsai. Communist is still an one party country. They have NOT learned Democracy because the leaders wanted POWER, full control their people. It is Okay to do whatever their leaders want to do in China, I don't give a d*mn. However, we have human rights to be alive, don't bomb Hong Kong or Taiwan. You will make the hatred deeper and wilder. We won't be brainwashed as a communist. There are many many Chinese Nationalists and communist sympathizer foreigners, you are not Hongkongers and Taiwanese, you don't understand how we feel about the situation we are in. I have left Taiwan for 39 yrs, but I love Taiwan still. My relatives and co-workers, classmates, ... are living with 24 million people in Taiwan. So, to an Aussie, you don't need to remind me who the h*ll Chiang Kai-Shek was. He came from China, spoke different language and massacre Taiwanese. My mom was a nurse and midwife, my father-in-law was a MD, I am a pharmacist, my ex is a dentist, my is a OBGYN MD, we are all in medical field. What is our commitment? first, do no harm and improve the health and prolong the life. We don't like cruel massacre and torture people. We are peaceful persons. An Aussie changed to a communist sympathizer since Hua-Wei CFO had been arrested in Canada and Trump tariff hike and trade war. I am a Democrat, didn't vote for Trump. What Trump said is none of my business. We have another election next year. Honesty is the best policy. |

When recent Hong Kong protest started, I have had emailed with my Caucasian PhD physicist in Hawaii about Hong Kong, China and Taiwan. Below is his email to me. He likes to use all capitalized words in his emails. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- YES , I REMEMBER THOSE TIME… THE LITTLE RED BOOK, AND THE “CULTURAL REVOLUTION” …. TO BREAK THE WAYS OF THE PAST AND DESTROY THE INTELLECTUALS AND BRAINWASH THE STUDENTS… IT TOOK A LONG TIME OF SUFFERING, WHICH STILL ISN’T OVER. MY CHINESE OFFICE MATE , JOSHUA WONG, USED TO PUT HIS ARM AROUND MY SHOULDER AS WE WALKED DOWN THE CORRIDORS OF THE RESEARCH LAB AT NCR, AND SAY “DON’T WORRY JERRY, YOU AMERICANS HAVE A VERY SHORT HISTORY AND WE CHINESE HAVE OVER 6000 YEARS TO REMEMBER WHAT IS GOOD AND WHAT IS BAD, AND THE BAD TIMES WILL PASS. HE WAS TAKEN FROM RED CHINA IN 1949 AS A BABY AND HIS LITTLE SISTER LEFT BEHIND BY HIS DAD WHO FLED TO TAIWAN AND FINALLY USA. HE HAS VISITED HIS SISTER, WHOM HE SAYS IS TOTAL RED COMMUNIST, WHILE JOSH IS A PROFESSOR OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING AT CAL STATE UNIVERSITY… SUCH DIFFERENCE… I DO MISS JOSH… I WONDER WHERE HE IS NOW. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- He is an Atheist, a Democrat, so I asked him for help. I remember he said he had email correspondences with a Democrat senator many years ago. In his email he mentioned a professor, Joshua and his sister are completely different persons because Joshua was taken from China to Taiwan, but his sister was left in China. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This PhD physicist replied I WILL SEE WHAT I CAN DO. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Honesty is the best policy.
