You do realize Mao Zedong didn't go to Yale right? His affilation with Yale was pretty loose at best. His father was a Chinese farmer too.

The "China of Today" one could say was created by Western Powers would be Taiwan, but even Taiwan had it's foundings on anti-Western sentiments (Chiang Kai-Shek despised Western democracy).

Sure. They just put him in charge of their school paper over there for no reason where ‘he edited its student magazine, re-focusing it on "thought reorientation," ‘ - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yale-China_Association#Early_y...

You can also read an article about it on Yales website titled “Yale spurs Maos emergence“.

I wish I were wrong about the direction things are heading in, but I'm not.
