Have you guys been following what’s going on in Taiwan? Have NGOs been funding media outfits there, trying to prevent Taiwan from having closer ties with China? It’s just weird that, yet again, in quick succession, a surging protest movement rapidly arose over an economic deal with a US rival. First in Kiev, and now in Taipei.
anything is possible with the evil empire
ReplyDeleteBuy American weapons Taiwan.
ReplyDeletePeace through superior firepower !
The US doesn't have to buy anti-China sentiment in Taiwan, there is plenty of it already there. You have to remember a sizable portion of that country isn't even Han Chinese. And Taiwan's politics can be absolutely crazy even when nothing is happening. Google all the fistfights in their parliament.
ReplyDeleteIt's not so weird if you know Taiwan.
ReplyDeleteCorrelation is not always causation, and the protests are similar those in 2008, when Taiwan's pro-mainland president banned the Republic of China flag from being flown where it might offend the tender eyes of a visiting mainland negotiator, detailed at e.g. http://www.theepochtimes.com/n2/world/taiwan-flag-forbidden-communist-china-6813.html
ReplyDeleteI don't know much about it, but my friends from Taiwan, having been protesting and don't want people from the mainland to be able to purchase property in Taiwan.
