Finally, someone in the United States has started asking the obvious question:
what exactly happened to the Qing Dynasty and Republic of China government bonds that the U.S. still holds?
If the Chinese Communist Party insists those debts don’t count, then by the same logic, there’s no sacred reason the United States must honor U.S. Treasury bonds held by the CCP either.
And if Beijing’s defense is that “the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China are not today’s China,” then congratulations—you’ve just invalidated the entire “since ancient times” narrative in terms of Taiwan in one sentence.
You can’t disown history when it comes to debt
and then reclaim it when it comes to territory.
I used to think the CCP was playing some kind of grand, long-term chess game.
Turns out it wasn’t chess at all.
Just a pile of rhetorical boomerangs—thrown confidently,
only to come spinning back at full speed.
