~~Bro why they gotta put Taiwan as a little small cannon right next to the China cannon kind of touching it, and not its own clearly distinct thing~~
~~Even in the positive propaganda, Taiwan can't catch a break smh~~

Oh, and also this is pre-Nixon, so featuring Taiwan in the role it's being featured in is the exact opposite type of propaganda as the type of propaganda I took it to be, probably. Oops...
It's pre Chinese communist revolution. ROC hadn't even retreated to Taiwan yet. They were busy teaming up to defeat the Japanese imperials.

"In the spring of '48
Mao Tse Tung got quite irate
