@AngelicaOung Really have overdone yourself with this one.
"First, you have a philosophy that reduces all that is of value in humanity to the self, then you exalt a religion where the highest state is to negate the self"

Like, where does that even come from?

@AngelicaOung It was so cheap when I went a few years ago

@AngelicaOung I think would have a better route to modernity than the chaos after 1911

@AngelicaOung The big alternative history for me is WHAT IF China had gone down the Kang Youwei constitutional monarchy route instead

[🌿quietstormintaipei @OOPuggers]

@AngelicaOung Or Zhou Enlai would have been the leader, the most competent man in China

[🌿quietstormintaipei @OOPuggers]

@AngelicaOung There was a whole class of Soviet-trained cadres at Yanan who Moscow were training to be the competent bureaucrat class, and Mao purged them. I think China would have looked a lot more like semi-functional Soviet countries

@AngelicaOung @tphuang thats a single person who works in a massage parlor. Try speaking to more educated people and you will get a different response

[🌿quietstormintaipei @OOPuggers]

@AngelicaOung U.S. has the secret sauce for success but they have decided to throw the sauce bottle at the wall

@AngelicaOung I have a bunch of screenshots somewhere from 2019 when they announced the green card for long term residents
Weibo decided that this would mean China would turn into Europe and Muslims would rape Chinese women

[🌿quietstormintaipei @OOPuggers]

@AngelicaOung I feel the same. Its about what works in the moment. Competent transparent governance is what makes the difference.

@IslaIsland886 Wont the airline already ask for 台胞證 thought at Taipei airport? Airlines wont let you onto a flight without a visa

[🌿quietstormintaipei @OOPuggers]

@AngelicaOung Is that a Chengyu?

[🌿quietstormintaipei @OOPuggers]

@AngelicaOung DPP definition of 'becoming red' is basically not voting for them or listening to 大展鴻圖. The latter is particularly hard for them, because its a fucking banger

@AngelicaOung Taiwan=ROC and the ROC=Taiwan is the consensus. 青天白日滿地紅 is their flag. Chinese culture is cool.

They still love their country, want to be independent, value democracy and dont want to be ruled by the CCP.

Which is actually most Taiwanese as well. 青鳥 are the outliers
