The logic is irrefutable: The Chinese regime claims Taiwan is its province, and all China’s provinces must be represented at the 19th National Party Congress currently taking place in Beijing. Producing representatives from Taiwan turns out not to be so easy.

Since the Chinese regime has no real sovereign control over the people of Taiwan, the regime has to search for Taiwanese individuals willing to step up to the plate to represent “Taiwan Province.”
