It may be true that the ROC has given more rights to the people. However, the Communists gave China something it hasn't had in a long time, and that was unity.

Japan invaded our proud homeland, China, and did many horrific war crimes to our people. The ROC was too unstable to fight back successfully.

Thankfully, with the help of the allies in WW2, we were able to kill Japan.

I would've loved for China to have a strong government and democracy, but that simply wasn't the case.

Maybe if China was more stable and was more open like Japan, China would not have faced the great humiliations of the 20th century, like foreign-occupied Tianjin the loss in the Opium wars, and the Japanese Invasion and annexation of nearly half of the country. The scramble for China was truly a disgrace to our great homeland, but without the unstable government, we could have said the word China with even more pride, and save the countless Chinese lives the 20th century caused to die!

Ultimately, though, between democracy and unity, I choose unity.

Long live the motherland!
