The Golden Mean(@TheGoldenMean2):Under Japanese rule (1895-1945), #Taiwan was stripped as an extraction colony: • 90% of its forests gutted • 73% of its rice and sugar went to Japan while locals starve • 192% inflation during 1944-45 When the island was recovered by China, it was left with severe food shortages, runaway inflation and idle factories. That was not a legacy. It was robbery and plunder of the worst kind.
