Surprised he didn’t just send the kid to Taiwan.
In Western minds, Taiwan is not Chinese. It’s a place the evil Chinese want to take over.
I live in Taiwan and did study Chinese here for 2 years. Lots of people come here to learn Chinese including anglos and yes I've heard the "china bad" reason for not studying chinese in china instead. or some people like traditional chinese (written script) more than simplified.
He's probably drunk the Kool aid and thinks Taiwan people don't speak Chinese but a totally different indigenous language
Mandela effect from a universe where the Taiwanese Indigenous languages did not all become extinct, moribund, or endangered
I wonder who did all that.
nah, most americans can't differentiate taiwan from thailand and wouldn't be able to guess what language(s) are spoken in taiwan at all. OR they might have a vague idea of taiwan when it was sort of the world's factory pre-80's.
