Could the following scenario have taken place in 1942?
Congressman: "Hey, let's repeal the Chinese Exclusion Act."
Opponent: "That's not a bad idea, but there are probably Japanese running all over that part of the world. How can we make sure we're admitting Chinese and not Japanese with falsified documents? Granted, the Chinese are probably OK, but given that we are during wartime..."
Congressman: "OK, fine. We'll do it later."
1945:
Congressman: "Hey, let's repeal the Chinese Exclusion Act."
Opponent: "Hold off on that for a moment: we've got bigger fish to fry like fixing Europe. Besides, there are still some pretty pissed Japanese out there."
Congressman: "OK, fine. We'll do it later."
1949-1950:
Congressman: "Hey, let's repeal the Chinese Exclusion Act."
Opponent: "YOU'RE A RED!"
Congressman: "OK, fine. We'll do it later..."
Do we still have the One China policy in this scenario ("hey let's bring in Taiwanese...")
