Would the 'context' in which the question is presented change your answer on whether you think Marx was to blame for the Great Chinese Famine?

Of course, when the context is your absurd argument itself that Marx is to blame for Mao's policies.

You are desperately playing with words now, better for you  - and the world - if you recognize your ideology-based delusions.

This is an extraordinary bit of spin. It is based on the fact that China and Taiwan were one country back in 1945, which is when the UN recognised this reality. As the CCP slaughtered its way across mainland China (after stepping back and letting their opposition do all the fighting against the Japanese in WWII), the old government retreated to Taiwan in 1949, and they have been separate countries ever since. Somehow the little pinks have convinced themselves that because the UN acknowledged the reality that the Taiwanese government also controlled mainland China in 1945, this means the UN really acknowledges that the CCP owns Taiwan. By the same logic, the CCP owns the entire Mongolian Empire (once they find the paperwork).

This is about the Japanese Prime Minister. Apparently it is not a lie. It is the little pink's "own image", with a bit of meaningless gibberish about a "face value idiom". It this doesn't make sense to you, it is because you have insufficient neurons.

The CCP merely labels her an "evil witch". Like they are reading German fairytales to the Chinese people, not trying to run the country.

Despite the Democrat propaganda to protect their trade routes around China, etc - like making Taiwan just another Korean and Vietnam war.
Ho hum.

Taiwan (ROC) openly declares itself to own the mainland (and Mongolia) as much as the CCP declares to own Taiwan.

Are we really going to go down the same BS as Korea and Vietnam?
Where USA thinks it owns Asia.

Another inane question emerging from your ideology-based delusions. 

Mao was responsible for the GCF, neither Marx (or Xi) are responsible.

Ah the UN disabused them. What were the metrics involved? How did they deem that? Solely on the numbers?

According to the leftist UN.

As opposed to mainland China's distinctly non-military agrression against other claimants of portions of the China Sea.

Unlike the current war-monger Japanese PM, Xi is determined to settle the SCS disputes via negotiation. It would help if the US butted out of the SCS, so China wouldn't have to build defences on rocks in the SCS while the US supplies arms to "democracy" ideologues seeking sovereignty in Taiwan.

The CCP isn't Marxist: in fact today there is a lively debate in economics re Neoclassical versus heterodox, MMT-aligned economics.

Hence Harvard-trained PBofC economists still think they must issue " long term bonds" to 'fund' government....despite deflation being the problem in China.

But back to Taiwan:

The Chinese are acutely aware of Japanese militarism which is rearing its ugly head again, under the current "democratic" war monger Takaichi.

As for the KMT, they - like the CCP - don't want war with their compatriots on the mainland:

Japan’s ‘imperialist forces’ divided Taiwan from mainland, KMT’s Cheng Li-wun says

Taiwanese opposition leader Cheng Li-wun blamed Japanese “imperialist forces” for dividing mainland China and Taiwan, as she paid tribute to Chinese revolutionary Sun Yat-sen at his mausoleum in Nanjing on Wednesday.

In a speech delivered after the Kuomintang (KMT) chairwoman laid a floral wreath before a statue of the founder of modern China, Cheng said Taiwan became a Japanese colony at a time of national weakness, following the 1895 defeat of China in the first Sino-Japanese war.

She said that after the 1911 revolution that overthrew the Qing dynasty (1644-1911), Taiwanese people were “filled with excitement”, with intellectuals hoping “a revitalised China would one day recover Taiwan and end Japanese colonial rule”.

...which they did in 1945, with Japan's defeat in WW2.

Spot the difference: the KMT leader is visiting the mainland at Xi's invitation, while Takaichi is determined to maintain the  division between the mainland and Taiwan, on delusional "democracy" ideological grounds.
