Taiwan should be ashamed for not crediting China with the standard operating procedure that contained the outbreak of COVID-19; not "proud" of itself.
The policy of the Taiwan government in cahoots with the USA is putting
the people of Taiwan in danger. The DPP/KMT neoliberal media can control the
rhetoric about China being the aggressor but who really is inciting violence
but the denier of reality?
Taiwan has been occupied by her
Chinese mainlanders since the 16th century when the island was rid of colonial
Dutch settlers by Koxinga of the Ming Dynasty. The Chinese and native
population of aboriginal settlers in Taiwan was ceded to Japan in 1895 after China
lost a war to it and it should have been returned to China when Japan lost to
the US in WW II. Instead, the US kept Taiwan for the KMT, losers of the Chinese
civil war between the communists and fascists, and still oversees Taiwan's
international policy no matter which faction is in power, the KMT or DPP in neoliberal
cahoots.
Now the US is offering to sell
Taiwan seven billion dollars in armament against international law. The DPP
will take it in lieu of true independence so it can continue to preserve its
political power and sustain corruption of Taiwan's ruling class.
The Taiwan government will be
overthrown, by force if necessary if this sale is made because they are being
enabled by the USA and unwilling by its own choice to accept historical reality
and abide by international law recognition of China as Taiwan's legitimate
government. Taiwan most certainly does not belong to the USA, independent
perhaps, but not part of a fascist interloper turning its people against their
cultural cohort and class interest.
The people of Taiwan do not care who
their government is so long as the economy improves and security is insured,
not by a racist WASP imperial super power but by with its own people and culture.
Already, many Taiwanese businessmen and workers have connected with China's
growing economy and they will continue to do so since the COVID-19 outbreak was
limited here through China's example of standard operating procedure to contain
it, easier so in Taiwan, an island shorter than New York to Baltimore, with a
population of 23 million. Instead of acknowledging the positive influence from
China, its leader, Tsai Ying-Wen is claiming Taiwan did it all alone, without
the help of WHO which, echoing President Trump's unfounded assertion, was on China's side.
The slogan "Proud of Taiwan"
was flouted at the 109 anniversary of founding of the republic recently on Oct.
10, "Double Ten" day. The anti-China propaganda it shares with
Angelo-American NGO's over Hong Kong, Tibet, and Xinjiang, is bent on
fear-mongering and brainwashing its people but only serves the ruling class as
breadwinners in families continue to be overworked, underpaid and in
dangerous work environments. The price of real estate is exorbitant, for investment
by the rich, and commoners cannot afford it. The capitalist hell of street chaos
overcrowded with vehicles, scooters, and large trucks cause horrific accidents
daily and highways are continually being built adding to the poor air
quality.
Scenes of chaos in the USA
presidential election, as a fascist fool fights against a senile opposition
party stalwart, is slowly filtering into Taiwan media that can no longer bear
the weight of covering up for its ruling class enabler. People are slowly
realizing that aligning with China is better. In this regard, the ruling class
is heading for trouble. No one wants war in Taiwan but the belligerence of
the disengaged bootlickers may be leading Taiwan down a dangerous dead end. It
will be the DPP/KMT that's to blame if the arms deal goes down, but the media
doesn't allow for much leeway in dissension. When the PLA appears on the
streets of Taiwan, no one but the ruling class will care when the last witch of
western colonialism on Chinese soil is dead. Let’s hope the Taiwan government doesn’t
make the good people of Taiwan die in a needless war.
