I'll try one more time. Each time I try a different angle that it is
more than geography. DongDing is a retroactive term used in Fujian
today. Here is just one of many discussions on SanZui which is the
Chinese forum equivalent of RFDT on the difference between Anxi and
Taiwan DongDing:

The fact the differences can be semantic versus geographic varietal
doesn't preclude the use of the term. Note even the limited use of
TGY in the discussion. I agree with the one poster that the use for
the mainland means a lighter oxidation of Dong Ding TKY similar to
Taiwan.

Your tea arguments are simple dismissal of the Chinese ChaYe industry
as corrupt. I personally think you are drowning in a sea of tea
information overload. If I was fortunate as you, I would make better
use of the opportunity.
