Maybe you want to check the date of the email versus the date of the published paper.
The email was conjecture at the beginning before she have seriously investigated.
The published paper is after weeks of research. And she's putting her name on the line by publishing.
She obviously learned something over 8 weeks.

I'm not picking sides. If Taiwan wants to continue purporting to be the legitimate government of all China, they aren't going to garner much support. And its a a major barrier to recognition of Taiwan as a nation as a result.
If China wants to keep claiming that Taiwan is a state of China - they will find this continues to make their participation in world affairs more difficult.
That is just fact Ray.
It would be sensible for Taiwan to renounce its claims on the rest of China, and begin to demand recognition as an independent nation.
It would be sensible for China to recognize Taiwan as a separate nation if it renounces claims to rule China.
I don't expect either to be sensible.
Hong Kong is a whole different matter.
YOu guys still seem to think an authoritarian regime behaves like an elected government?
Ricky, that's precisely the point. What they publicly published is different than what their gut was telling them

?Shame on you for not picking the side of a democratic government vis-à-vis a totalitarian one who wants to consume them. Do you really want Taiwan to suffer the fate of Hong Kong
