I hate it, I hate hate hate it whenever some Asian nationalist insists on the "you Western people should shut up because you don't understand us and we have our way" bullshit. Guess what? A lot of people who criticize your precious regimes are Asians, and if they're not (oh god, white people! how dare they!) then it's also perfectly their right to criticize your precious, precious regimes, and they might actually understand it more than you think. Some might be remnants of racist and colonialist views of old, fine, throw them off the window; but others see the Chinese Communist Party and realize what kind of horror show we're having for humanity's fastest growing great power. Others, that is, who are experts, academics, visitors of Asia, emigrants from Asia, descendants of emigrants, and maybe just simple people with working brains who see a horrific tyranny for what it is.
And. We. Love. China. We just fucking hate your government. Why do you think the Taiwanese are so un-eager to rejoin the mainland? Old grudges? Last I heard the KMT's not ruling the island country no more, and new generations have been coming and passing for a while by now. Honestly, the hyper-nationalism of the "new" Chinese is freaking me out these days. Is this the kind of attitude for the slated new world leaders...? And finally, should I mention where the ideology of communism came from? |

Since coming into power, Mr Ma has been working towards better relations with China while continuing to reject the mainland's claims of sovereignty over the island. As expected, not much love is lost between the two territories, not even after China graciously lent national treasures to Taipei's National Palace Museum — Taiwan fears that the communists would confiscate any historical artefacts it sends to the mainland in return. But where there is money to be made, the Chinese are always ready to talk. That's real-world pragmatism for you, idealism be damned. |
