Deng Kongzhao is a professor at the Graduate Institute for Taiwan Studies at Xiamen University. He's a great admirer of the 17^th-century general Zheng Chenggong and the brilliant strategy he employed to recover Taiwan from the Dutch. He's particularly impressed by Zheng's use of "smoke bomb" tactics as a means of deception. #Taiwanthroughtheages
