3 mn readOn March 21, 2023, LSE IDEAS, the foreign policy think tank of the London School of Economics and Political Science, published an article titled “Countering United Front Work: Taiwan’s Political Warfare System,” written by Mariah Thornton, a Ph.D. student in the Department of International Relations at the LSE. When the article was first published, Ross Feingold, the former Asia Chairman of Republicans Abroad, identified some errors, including changing the year of the Republic of China government’s retreat to Taiwan from 1949 to 1947 and the establishment of a new government called the “Republic of China” in Taiwan by the KMT after losing the Second Chinese Civil War. Although these errors have been corrected and republished, I still found some oversights in the article.
