    I'd wager that outside of people who study Asia or East Asia nobody in the US has ever heard anything about Taiwan in general except for something vague about it being the other China.

    But yes, Mao's agricultural "genocide" is a common off-hand citation. I'll be damned if anyone casually mentions the Taiwanese White Terror.

      well I'm talking about r*dditor types. They definitelly all know too much about Taiwan and Ainu and all that stuff--yet are eerily silent about Taiwanese Aborigines.
