‘Look at Hong Kong and think of Taiwan,’ Tsai Ing-wen said. ‘We don’t want Hong Kong-style peace. We want dignified peace.’
Fuck the CCP

The fundamental problem in Taiwanese democracy is if the opposition wins one election, they merge with the mainland - it means the ruling party can do whatever they want and still get votes.
Or maybe Taiwan needs a better opposition.
Better opposition would split the vote and give the pro-mainland party a win
I doubt the US would allow a merger. TSMC is too important to fall into CCP’s hands. Not to mention the amount of US ordnances that stored in Taiwan.
Shockingly, the US would not be given a say and would be left to react. Which means the entire thing becomes a blood bath if the US doesn’t prevent it prior.
Are we going to sit here pretending that the US doesn’t interfere in their elections orrrrr?
And yet another unsubstantiated claim, hmmmm.
It’s absolutely unsubstantiated. I’m just aware that the US does that quite a lot, especially to proxies such as Taiwan. They’re a strategic trading partner. So I’d be surprised if the US wasn’t involved in getting that party elected somehow.
Doubles down upon unsubstantiated claim when called out.
Such an easy script to follow.Zero reason to be toxic about the comment I made.
Edit: Your post history is the toxic waste suspected, it’s clear a bunch of people think you’re unreasonable.
The US wields immense geopolitical power; of course they get a say. That’s not to say that it could prevent an annexation if the CCP wanted it badly enough, but Washington has no shortage of levers to pull to make it as unattractive an option as possible.
Yo we’re still alive
Yeah, think of Hong Kong, horrible things like reducing wait times for public housing could happen in Taiwan too https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-12-02/hong-kong-cuts-public-housing-waiting-time-to-boost-birth-rates
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.

That booch shit is gross dude 😒
It’s a damn shame that so many right-wingers have flooded Lenny over the last year.
Nah it’s just a few shit instances that are the problem. Lemmy World and Feddit De immediately come to mind as other shit instances that never have anything to say. Last update added instance blocking for posts but IMO there needs to be a blocklist for commenters too.
It tastes good, just don’t smell it.
It’s not that bad
