On one hand, Taiwan deserves to be free from China, but on the other, relying on an openly genocidal country for it…
lol
Crazy how quick libs are to excuse genocide.
"Yeah my party does genocide but they're the lesser evil"
"Yeah Taiwan is looking up to a genocidal state but that's okay because it's to stop China"
The world is complicated, and America is uncomplicated when it comes to Israel (i.e. they're all in). I don't think passive complicity is evil in a black and white sense given the state of the world. As an example, look at how Assad in Syria was toppled for opposing Israel and America. In a Democracy it's even easier to be toppled than that.
That said the actions of the Taiwanese government here are bad. It's not like Taiwan's gonna be a country much longer anyway though given China's extreme military infrastructure buildup around Taiwan and China's growing chip industry. I struggle to see any path for Taiwan to avoid annexation at this point.
