A Tale of 2 Taiwan Crisis: "Bullied" Never Forgets!
Show Notes

The last "Taiwan Crisis" began in 1995, when Taiwan's President, Lee Teng-hui was allowed to visit the US and give a speech at his alma mater, Cornell University.

This led to China conducting war games, missile tests, and live fire drills in the Taiwan Strait.

The U.S. government responded by staging the biggest display of American military might in Asia since the Vietnam War.

Back then, the Chinese leadership was forced to acknowledge its inability to stop U.S. forces from coming to Taiwan's assistance.

That was then, but this is now in 2022.

If you have a mindset that thinks in centuries, what eventually happens to someone who bullied you in the past?

  • 欺负 qīfu means to bully
  • 强横 qiánghèng - means using strength to bully unreasonably in a tyrannical way
