He believed that the right should do the same, a proposal he claimed to have advocated for months without receiving a genuine counter-argument.

He added that if the situation did not change, he would accept all endorsements of the New Energy project without negotiation. On the other hand, he stated that he would never support those he held responsible for having led and weakened France, before concluding by celebrating freedom. #Politique #Primaire #Liberté (translated)

The Folle Histoire regretted that Mao did not settle the issue of the Kuomintang in 1949, believing that it would have simplified the current situation. According to the author, the party was no more commendable at that time than the Chinese communists, but it no longer ruled Taiwan, and Chiang Kai-shek died at the same time as Mao. The author added that Taiwan has since become a democracy to which its population seems attached and said he finds it hard to understand why some wish for its forced attachment to the People's Republic of China. He felt that this amounts to applying the principle of the right of peoples to self-determination in a variable manner. He also wrote that Taiwan has been a thorn in China's side since the 1950s and that the United States fully plays on this situation, while specifying that the relationships between Washington and Taipei are more complex. #Taïwan #Mao #Kuomintang (translated)
