Letters to Lei the Formosan Lion: #1
Dear Lei,
Before Liu became President of the People's Republic of China, the government before him passed a series of ridiculous regulations on gaming and internet usage among minors. One of them is increasing sales taxes on computer gaming equipment. As a result of all of that mess, Chinese companies that specialize in manufacturing and selling such equipment not only relocated their headquarters to Taiwan, but also moved their entire business operations here.
Today, Taiwan seeks to be the global exporter of computer gaming equipment. Funny how our country started off as a fishing village, then a global computer chip exporter (which the Americans eventually beat us on that), and now the global exporter of computer gaming equipment. We are even rising up the ranks to become the global exporter of computer gaming chairs as well. So pretty much Taiwan is a global market for hardcore computer gamers and computer livestreamers. Internet celebrities import computer gaming equipment from us, too.
So what do you think about the fact that Taiwan went from a series of fishing villages to a global exporter of high-end computer gaming equipment?

Lei's reply:
Dear Zhiquiang,
I'm not bothered by Taiwan being the global exporter of computer gaming equipment because I support new technology and ideas; part of that has to do with the fact I'm a medical doctor. Specifically, I am a military surgeon, though I have had to treat the wounds of politicians from whenever they would get into a brawl with one another. Those bother me.
Anyways, it's great to see us thrive in any medium; it just happens to be computer gaming equipment. I congratulate the internet celebrities for choosing us when buying the equipment. I think we even started selling some of that stuff to some of those kids that were buying VPNs from the American soldiers. I could be wrong.
I also think the things China did in trying to regular gaming and internet usage were the dumbest thing they ever did. The smartest thing those people did, therefore, was kick Jinping out and put Liu in, and look at how much it has improved with him in charge. (Also, Liu and I share the same last name, but I don't think we're related in the sense of being cousins or anything; I think we're just Leo the Patriotic Lion's parallels.)
Hope that helps; if I made a mistake, let me know and I'll fix the error.
Yours truly,
Dr. Lei Yang, a.k.a. Lei the Formosan Lion

Jack: I didn't know Taiwan was a fishing village. Then again, we all had to start somewhere.
Chuong: Boba, Mongolian barbecue, fried fermented tofu, cup noodles, Taipei 101, etc. comes from Taiwan.
Jack: Mongolian barbecue and Taiwan?
Chuong: Mongolian stir-fry actually originated in Taiwan as a modernized interpretation of Mongolian cuisine, where Mongolians once used shields over fire to cook their meats on.
Zax: I didn't know cup noodles came from Taiwan.
Chuong: It was invented by a Japanese scientist born in Taiwan, when it was part of the Japanese empire.
Juno: Taiwan is such a colorful and vibrant country. Their night markets are similar to our state fairs.

Cripto: That makes sense. There's a restaurant my parents like to go to that advertises itself as Mongolian stir-fry. It's not a buffet, though; you get your food and ingredients at certain stations, and then you watch the people cook it around a big circular grill.
Lei: Are there flames?
Cripto: Sometimes.
