      To be fair that’s not a particularly high bar to pass. “Don’t want to take your land and slaughter your people” is the requirement

        And to the poor Taiwanese as well.

        Capitalist China does not give a shit about the common person.

            Lower income populations often fall for right wing parties, so that’s hardly surprising.

            That doesn’t mean right wing parties have the poor (or anyone else’s) best interest at heart.
