And I think it's around 1990-ish where Taiwan is... I think this is where I'll try this.

50th the population of the mainland, it's got 1 250th of the landmass of the mainland, and it has about 40% of the GNP.
And if you're PRC mainland looking at this, how embarrassing.
The losers of the war have won the peace and put you to shame for how incompetently brutal you are.
And that's Taiwan's problem to this day, is that they are a rebuke to everything the Communist Party is.
There used to be this racist notion that, oh, Han Chinese and democracy, incompatible, can't do that.
Well, Taiwan has proven that wrong.

No one can duplicate it.
