, the imbecile of a -friendly tv anchor in , has cooperated with mouthpiece to lash out at the for rising prices in Taiwan.
Yes: is a thing as in pretty much all countries around the world. Taiwan (which is a country and NOT a part of China) is no exception in this.
Still: Would you rather pay more for your food or have no food at all apart from some mouldy packages you get from the state IF you are lucky? taipeitimes.com/News/editorial

In recent surveys, the percentage of people in supporting a "unification" with has dropped below 10%.
Seeing trample on the of the people in certainly has been a factor in this.
Any politician entering an election with a pro-Beijing platform has no chance of winning a seat at this point. is a non-seller and a repeat of the disaster that became known as Korean Fish aka . More of the same old school crap.

The latest spat between and chairman goes to show Jaw's disconnect.
In an interview, Chiang rightfully stated there was no market in for 's model which has shown its true nature in . And Chiang identified as a threat for Taiwan.
Now Jaw is attacking Chiang for this interview, saying that he is going down the 's way. Taiwan's existence is NOT a partisan issue FFS. 2/2 taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/ar

Seriously: If the wants to become an irrelevant fringe party and one of the little cogs in 's efforts against , it should go into the next presidential with as its candidate. Endorsed by the formidable (uhumm...) , this reactionary advocate of a unification with Chinese characteristics (read annexation and submission) rightfully has come out as the most mistrusted politician in a recent survey. 1/2 taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/ar

Seriously:
Less than 10% of the populace in identifies as Chinese rather than as Taiwanese. The fraction of who only came to Taiwan from 1945 to 1949 is shrinking due to age.
As election data from January 2020 show the has almost no support in the under25 age group - so this party's disconnect is only getting worse.
Running with as candidate in the presidential elections in 2024 will be a failure even worse than running with .

's former ruling party really is disconnected from reality.
They've put their hope in , the grandson of murderous and highly corrupt dictator .
They're seriously considering to go into the next presidential elections with a now 70 year-old alpha-male TV anchor and network owner who split with the KMT in the early 90ies as he despised the "taiwanisation" of the KMT.
supports unification with and denies that there is a Taiwanese identity.

Seen the defeat that suffered in the presidential elections in January 2020, his recall as a mayor of Kaohsiung and the mid- to long-term trends in how people in see themselves as Taiwanese, Chinese or both, it's baffling to see the go all-in on a guy like .

This guy is representing less than 10 percent of the people with his wish to follow the fake 1992 consensus and to unite Taiwan with . The KMT shows that it's NOT a Taiwanese party.
