, they noted that “Chou had also lived in Taiwan in his youth as was ‘not well received,’ which may have fueled his hatred of” Taiwan. Yet they claim that he “emigrated from China many years ago and lived in numerous cities around the country”.

Here is the catch though. Since he is 68 years old, assuming he is from mainland China, he wouldn’t be able to live in Taiwan in his youth since:
1. China kept their doors locked until 1979 ( he would have been 25 if he were lucky enough to immigrate out of China to the US).
2. The mainland and Taiwan didn’t allow people to travel between those two lands until 1987 (he would have been 34 by that time).
3. The age range for the youth is officially 15-24, but “youth” is commonly applied to teenagers and kids.

One can say that he may have been one of the Chinese who illegally ran to Hong Kong in the 60’s, but those people most likely (like 99.99%) would support Taiwan. Plus, Hong Kong was part of the UK as a colony. So, officially, he wouldn’t have “emigrated” from China to the US.

The only way to resolve this issue is that he moved from Taiwan to the mainland and then to the US, but that doesn’t suit their agenda.

Sweet! Who said US economy was in trouble? They can get 7 figures on unlimited vacations. Is this capitalism or socialism? I am confused.

I heard that when companies offer unlimited vacation days, it's usually very hard to get a vacation request approved. Though this is for senior staff so maybe it'll be different.

I think I am getting bipolar on word "unlimited". First was China/Russia unlimited relationship. Now Government Sachs offers unlimited vacation. Does the English word "unlimited" now actually mean "very limited" or "somewhat limited" or "spend more time with family"?
