"China-lite" hahaha a good one, Taiwan actually has more Chinese culture left than Mainland China, the commies took great pleasure at destroying their own culture to replace it with that of the party.

I was surprised by how Chinese the Taiwanese are, I have seen truly hot looking young ladies going to the Chinese religions or Buddhist temple and shrines there, that sure would never happen in Mainland China where all the temples are controlled by the party anyway. Another e.g. people proudly dressing in traditional Chinese dresses not for a dinner or an even but just like that on daily life because it's their culture, would never happen in Mainland China and Maoist clothes don't count.

Taiwanese are Chinese yes, they are in fact the true Chinese, much more than Mainlanders who don't have much Chinese remaining into them.
