So #TerryGou has decided to base his campaign on the fear of war with #China and on his personality to secure 50 years of peace with #Beijing.
This top-down approach ignores the reasons for cross-straight tensions and puts the blame for these tensions on the ruling #DPP and on #Taiwan only.
Terry Gou does not seem to understand a whole lot about the issue at hand. He would be an awful president of Taiwan - and likely the last.

@lexanchina
A history lesson - the first one is for free:
#Taiwan has never been a part of the People's Republic of #China.
The Chinese empire conceded Taiwan to Japan in the treaty of #Shimonoseki, back in 1895.
The nightmare known as the People's Republic of China only was founded or rarther installled in 1949.
So no: Taiwan has never been a part of this repressive dictatorship, and less than 10 % of the Taiwanese want to become a part of this dystopian nightmare.
#TaiwanisnotChina

@lexanchina @darnell

Oh yeah, the #PLA - well known for its expertise in butchering and murdering unarmed students.
Famous for sending its soldiers into Vietnamese minefields in 1979.
Famous for arranging fist fights with Indian soldiers in the Himalayas only to turn up with iron clubs reinforced with nails.

A bunch of cowards that like to brutalize the weak and a massive paper dragon: That's the bloody PLA as I know it.

#TaiwanisnotChina #StandwithTaiwan #FucktheCCP

My wish for this building - being the Presidential Palace of #Taiwan in downtown #Taipei - is for no PLA soldiers to enter it in the next 30 years. Or let's just make that 50, by then the ghoulish #CCP regime of #China should be history, really. #TaiwanisnotChina #StandwithTaiwan

@AnnaAnthro Seems as if the Economist has misspelled #annexation. There will be no unification if it's up to the fine people of #Taiwan. Why should they choose to join the People's Republic of #China as an authoritarian and highly repressive state that it has never been part of? A state that is currently plagued by gigantic debt issues both in the #realestate sector and on a provincial level?
#XiJinping and the #CCP are leading China into an abyss. Better not be part of that...
#TaiwanisnotChina

@yaohsi Turns out that the grand talk of #reunification by any means necessary that has become the firebrand of supreme leader #XiJinping and the #CCP is not that popular in #China itself.

No wonder, the #PLA is a paper dragon plagued by corruption and inexperienced in shooting anything else than the country's young talent. As shown on #TiananmenSquare back in 1989.
#StandwithTaiwan
#TaiwanisnotChina

So #Taiwan gets to choose between Lai, Hou and Ko. In a popular vote.
And #China had the *choice* between Xi, Xi and Xi. Through its rubber-stamp *parliament*, the People's congress.

See the difference? It's called #democracy.

という事で是非、頼清徳候補に当選してもらいたい

The gravest consequences are to be expected if #China "intervenes in" or rather attacks #Taiwan, which is a sovereign and democratic country.

So yes: #FucktheCCP! #TaiwanisnotChina

China’s foreign minister Qin Gang warned of “dangerous” consequences if countries intervened in #Taiwan

@Gegenwind
Hafenblockaden? Wo gibt es dazu etwas zu lesen? Ich finde dazu nichts. "Nur" dazu, dass #China eine beabsichtigte, dreitägige Blockade vom Luftraum im Norden von #Taiwan in den kommenden Tagen nun auf 27 Minuten reduziert hat.
Was an sich schon eine Dreistigkeit ist, die eine Intervention der für die internationale Zivilluftfahrt zuständigen Behörden #ICAO und #IATA zur Folge haben müsste.
#TaiwanisnotChina #FucktheCCP

From three days to 27 minutes: Still an overreach that endangers #civilaviation on behalf of #Beijing. #IATA should hold #China accountable for this nonsense and violation of #Taiwan's airspace and sovereignty.

And yes: #paperdragon alert, folks!
#StandwithTaiwan #TaiwanisnotChina

Let's be very clear about this: #Macron is not throwing #Taiwan under #XiJinping's #OneChina bus to promote #EUSovereignty.

He's done it to help French corporations rake in mega contracts in #China. And that is really and truly fucked up.

Macron's brain has turned into particularly creamy camembert cheese on his way to Beijing.
#StandwithTaiwan #TaiwanisnotChina

@Lazarou So much for "winning the hearts and minds of the people in #Taiwan."
Seen the ghoulish nature of the #CCP regime, #China seems to have given up on this and wants to eliminate all people in Taiwan unwilling to submit themselves to commie rule.

One more reason to prepare for a fight and to fight it to the bitter end if necessary. Living under CCP rule is not an alternative.

#TaiwanisnotChina #FucktheCCP

The most #Taiwan-like reaction to #China's display of broken nationalists' hearts and military might (did anyone say paper dragon here?) is the run for #airforce badges ridiculing #XiJinping as Winnie the Pooh who gets a nasty uppercut from a Formosan Black Bear aka Tutumaz.
While China swings its stick, Taiwan laughs it away. For these fine people have learnt to live with constant threats from Beijing over the years.

When countries that are members of the #UnitedNations' Security Council behave like assholes in full contempt of #internationallaw like #Russia and #China currently do, this very council and its purpose are being seriously underminded.

PSA Organizations like #PivottoPeace and #CodePink can go straight to hell.
Whoever sides with the #CCP and #China in undermining the democratic and sovereign country of #Taiwan can go straight to hell.

Only ONE country threatens to use #violence in this conflict. And that country is NOT Taiwan.
But rest assured that Taiwan will not surrender without a fight, as its people have too much to lose in terms of #freedoms and #civicrights. And the #PLA is not ready for that fight. #TaiwanisnotChina

I see the self-declared *force of #peace and #stability* in #FarEast is hell-bent on provoking an utterly unnecessary escalation again due to some broken glass hearts of nationalists.
#China needs to be pushed back, its salami slicing tactics have gone way too far already.
#Taiwan is a sovereign and independent COUNTRY where Beijing has ZERO say.
Always keep in mind that #TaiwanisnotChina and yes: #FucktheCCP https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-65219219
