🔹 So in Mao's (early) time. One contradiction is China's feudalist society, where the masses, the farmers, are opposed to the bourgeois class, the landowners. However, after losing the first Sino-Japanese war, there is also a contradiction between Chinese nationalism and Japanese imperialism. In this case, Mao argues that the principle contradiction is "against imperialism", and that the feudalist contradiction becomes secondary. Hence, Mao said that the communist party should form a coalition with the Kuomintang (Chinese nationalist party), against the Japanese (during the second Sino-Japanese war).

🔹So to recap: the Chinese communists are against the Kuomintang, but this contradiction becomes secondary when Japan invades China, then the communists and the Kuomintang are united in the principle contradiction against imperialism.

Stop it! 😡

Lai's nearly-impossible conditions for #restarting #nuclear_plants:
1. Safety checks/renovations. Think they can pass and/or be restarted within 5 years? 🤔
2. Approval of safe storage site. How about deep-blue #Kinmen or #Hualien, eh #KMT? 🤔
3. Public #consensus. Remember this?: ❝Resumption of Fourth Nuclear Power Plant rejected❞
