Radio War Nerd #302 — The First China-US Cold War: Battles of Kinmen, Dengbu & Hainan Islands (Part 2)
Guest: Carl Zha, podcaster
Recorded: October 28, 2021
In part 2 of our series on the First China-US Cold War, we look at a handful of significant — and bloody — battles in the weeks and months after Mao's Communists took control of mainland China: The Battle of Kinmen, off the coast of China's southern Fujian province; the Battle of Dengbu, part of the Zhoushan island chain off the coast of Shanghai; and the Hainan Island Campaign in southernmost China. Kinmen Is. has long been the gateway from mainland China to Taiwan, and it's making a comeback as a flashpoint in the current Cold War sequel.
Listen to Part 1 (EP #301) of RWN's series on The First China-US Cold War.

This is then the side of the good people, I have a friend who had a room you never would leave besides if you have to (think hay 70-80s) then you have the crazy 90s come back via webmail from fans of the Xbox scene, but not good in the political head. Then you get an explosion of people bad in the ethics

For those running around in Nietsche of the PayPal LinkedIn..."for those running around in this world to hostile takeover and get in my view, your idiots, go do something go start a commune go do a ford Amazonia experience without people who can bake 100 breads"

Going to tell you all who Carl Zha really is beside being from the right side of the bell curve for a study of Americanism. His great grandfather was a public adminstrative big wig, his parents revolutionararies who where sick of the expats ruining China. He had a difficult time studying the United States because of Asian stereotypes but did finish his degree. Now he is living the Nanking life in Indonesia because he is still a yes we can person due to Obama's golf swing.
Hello I can't get this podcast to update on any podcast platform anymore not podcast addict or pocket cast. Anyone else having this issue?
Carl mentioned there was a communist military leader who pretended to be a dead KMT recruit and rose through the ranks until being discovered and executed in 1983. Whats this guys name?
would be nice with some reading tips
How do you guys feel the research and shows Dave Emory has been doing about Chiang Kai-Shek? Do y'all find him and his work legit? I always liked the guy but I don't think he's ever been mentioned here before. I guess y'all are in two different fields. I don't know. Just curious. Love the show
taiwan just had its independence day anniversary, right?
Just fantastic episodes, always a treat to have Carl
Terribly disappointed that you didn't play Jay Ungar's Ashokan Farewell violin tune from Ken Burns's Civil War series every time Carl Zha spoke. Missed a real "Shelby Foote" moment there.
I hope you will find time to discuss legacy of post WW2 failure to designate clear territorial boundaries (I am thinking in particular of continuing flashpoint Daoyu/Senkaku islands) and whose interests this serves. I would also like to point out that KMT were regarded as imperialist invaders, much like the Japanese occupation of Taiwan, by many local Han Chinese of Fujian descent, who were discriminated against and prohibited in public school, etc. from speaking their native dialect.
Been doing a deep dive on awesome guest Carl Zha, and what a character! Really digging this series, keep it going as long as it takes!
Haven't started the first ep in this series but SUPER stoked to, and Carl Zha is always a great guest and the history of this is much harder to find than the US-Vietnam war for example.
