As someone who also opposes the Chinese government for political reasons, I don't see the point of bullying someone for wanting to learn the main Chinese language.

Is not about supporting their government. Is about learning their culture.

I also admire the works of Dr. Sun, the Founding Father of China celebrated in both Communist China and the remains of Dr. Sun's Republic of China(currently exiled in Taipei).

His 3 principles of the People(Minzu, Minquan and Minsheng) and specially his adaptation of Montesquieu's branches of government where the original 3 branches become "Five Yuans"(Executive, Legislative, Judiciary, Examiner and Controller).

In my country we have an intermediary of Montesquieu and Dr Sun with the courts TSE and TCU acting similarly to the Examiner and Controller Yuans, but instead of acting as independent branches of government they are subordinated to the Judiciary.
