China vs Taiwan: Top 5 Differences (Part 2)

Chris, have you considered contacting Peter Hitchens for an interview about the CCP and China?

Question: I was surprised to read in the newspapers that the Chinese government forcibly suppressed observations by Marxist student groups of Mao's December 26 birthday. What is the government's official position on Marxism and Mao, and what is their actual position?

Hey Chris. As China is donating so much money to countries, giving big loans to domestic chinese companies, constructing ghost cities and islands, and building up its navy force, will China deplete its 3 trillion dollars foreign reserve and go bankrupt soon?

Another difference I find between China and Taiwan is that you constant worry about being ripped off in the former compared to the latter, where you can basically rest assured that what you're buying is not 'fake' / extremely poor quality / etc. Case in point: my father got a fake $50 RMB note when he was touring with my mother in Beijing; no such thing happened while they were in Taiwan.
