[Encore] Mao's Taiwanese Spymaster

[Encore] Mao's Taiwanese Spymaster

The Taiwan News recently did a feature on Formosa Files (link below), and in the article, this episode from 2021 is mentioned. We thought we'd re-release it for any new "Formosa Filers" who missed it the first time around. This is a fascinating tale of a Taiwanese man (Japanese Formosan, to be exact), who survived the Long March with Mao Zedong, and was then sent back to Taiwan to build a spy network and prepare for a communist invasion.

Many thanks to the Taiwan News for their detailed feature on Formosa Files.

The History of Taiwan - Formosa Files

Cover: A pro-invasion propaganda poster from 1950s communist China. 

BIG thanks to the Taiwan News for their in-depth article and video on Formosa Files! 

Below: "We Must Liberate Taiwan!" - another CCP propaganda poster, believed to date back to China's "Cultural Revolution." Thankfully, no such "liberation" has occurred.
