KMT presidential candidate Hou Yu-ih said on Saturday that a vote for the DPP was equivalent to “sending everyone out to the battlefield” because supporting Taiwan independence would touch off a war.
What’s happening in Taiwan? Why did a presidential candidate said something like this? In another country, a presidential candidate telling people to not supporting their own country’s sovereignty would be a political suicide.

Foreign influence operations exist because they work.
That’s a dogwater (approaching racist) argument and you know it.

Taiwan knows they will lose
There are people who would rather just join CCP so they don’t die
Hong Kong is fine 🙄
But have you considered that Hong Kong is now administered by yellow savages as opposed to being a proper and civilized British colony.
