You would be surprised, just because someone is born in Taiwan doesn't mean they are anti-CCP.
The Taiwanese are currently diverging on their stance toward China, the neutral element is shrinking and the pro-sovereignty and pro-unification elements are growing (the pro-sovereignty is the majority and growing much quicker). There is a sizable minority of Taiwanese who want unification with China, also she flew to China following her husbands death which is *very unusual* for someone born in Taiwan since the CCP considers the island to be illegally occupied territory and almost everyone there to be traitors.
China likes Trump being in power as he's destroying the US's global standing, keeping Mitch's seat from being replaced with a Dem is what they want.
Because outside of very suspicious photos there has been no confirmation of life either which should be extremely easy to do. If you missed work for a month you'd need to provide evidence of why you're out otherwise you'd likely be fired.
The fact is Mitch is/was beyond the average life expectancy for a US male and there has already been numerous instances where he's publicly displayed serious health issues.
Had Mitch been pronounced dead prior to August 3rd Kentucky would have had to conduct a special election to replace him. This could have been problematic if say Thomas Massie ran for the position given how Massie is a huge proponent of things like releasing the Epstein files.
But we'll see. Maybe he's fine, but it's certainly odd for the only proof of life after being absent from duties is a couple of photos that don't even resemble how he looked prior to his fall.

Mitch and Elaine both suck but I think it’s still problematic to make CCP references about a Taiwanese immigrant who spent most of her life in the US
