about two chinas i re wrote and expanded the history section for several reasons one i think background is more appropriate since the article is about the term two chinas there is no actual thing as two chinas so a section that deals with the background of the situation described by the term is better called background and not history history should be used for a section on the history of the term two there was a lot of misleading content in the article such as the stuff about the ruijin soviet i've seen that claim that the ruijin soviet was the first time there were two chinas bandied about in online forums and anti communist china magazines from time to time but it is factually untrue since china was split between many autonomous entities throughout the republican period and the ruijin soviet was no different from any of them in re writing the background section i was hoping to illustrate that history of division and separation in order to place the final division that led eventually to the current situation in a historical context i don't want to get back into the debate my latest run in with the indian flag wavers thanks for noticing btw has made me very disillusioned and i will trust your good judgment to trim edit or restore whatever parts of the text as you see fit cheers talk
