Jaxson Morris
it's the sort of thing a factory worker would wear to work at the turn of the 20th century
Nathan Taylor
they were actually designed by Sun Yat Sen as an attempt to create a style of dress that would make them look acceptable to westerners, but also combined traditional chinese clothing. Mao and Chiang both used them to show their connection to Sun. Additionally Mao liked them because they were unisex, so having women wear them too fit into his propaganda of having brought sexual equality to China.
Ayden Hall
But aren't they kind of like the ones Stalin uses? I always thought they were sort of cosplaying as him, even Castro's shirt looks like that
Bentley White
>everyone discusses their clothes instead of the actual subject
Ian Walker
Stalin and Castro came after the time of Sun Yat Sen, he designed that type of clothing and others adopted it from him.
Andrew Clark
they were both complete fuckups who led China from one disaster to another
Henry Long
oh, thanks user
Isaiah Wood
Zhongshan Suits.
Erroneously called Mao suits. The thing was basically made popular by Sun Yat-sen, and was a mark of a modern Chinese official.
Kayden Ortiz
中山装
Alexander Gomez
contd.
It also came with a specific haircut: the republican comb-over.
Kevin Rodriguez
Which is better Veeky Forums AIDS or Ebola?

Leo Sanders
Man, I want to have one of those so bad but I'd feel like the Chinese equivalent of a white guy wearing a Che Guevera t-shirt while holding a Starbucks latte in one hand and his iphone in the other.
Nathan Jackson
The French Jacket (actually from England) was popular in much of Europe during the 1920s, 30s, and 40s. Third-world leaders emerging out of European traditions often used it as well.
Lincoln Garcia
>the nationalists got BTFO even with American support and fled to a shitty island
>The communists won and built the second largest economy in the World despite having everything stacked against them
You mean the right one?
Juan Cook
Huh interesting
Oliver Rogers
Chiang Kai-Shek was a corrupt and incompetent self-promoter.
Mao was brutal but he actually helped China. Shame he didn't die in the 60s.
Alexander Ross
THANK YOU USA FOR KILLING HIS SON IN KOREA. That little conceited bitch wanted to each good food so the idiot lit a fire despite his comrades protests. Because of his idiocy China was spared another Mao and they could progress.
Oliver Lopez
BTW. The US planes found the bastard and napalmed him. Thx.
Levi Cruz
think of it as mocking their legacy, unless you're unironically a communist
Nathan Roberts
I'd much rather live in Taiwan (aka Best China) than in PRC (aka "5000 years of hurt feelings" China), but yeah, Mao was the more competent one of the two.
Ethan Cook
Mao didnt create the second largest economy, his successors did
All he did was win the war and kill hundreds of millions of people
Nolan Gray
Mao because he won.
Better poet too.
Henry Perry
What results? Losing the civil war and running a US puppet banana dictatorship?
Chiang proved utterly incapable of running China. His only result was failure.
