It’s a show of power to their own population in China, a drill of invading Taiwan, and an opportunity to push the line a bit further every time they do this, until a Chinese soldier sets a foot on Taiwanese land. They don’t care how it looks internationally, as “how it looks” doesn’t have any real consequences or at least they are worth the benefits.
Have you researched the reasons for “representative democracy”?
These are the reasons that come to mind at the moment, but there are likely many more.
Look at Brexit for an example of what can happen when people can vote directly.
Lavender has been fed with information that targeted people often hide in healthcare facilities. The threashold for labeling anything as a target that is related to medical or humanitarian support is passed easily obviously. A food truck that we are informed about and gave clearance for? Anyways, threashold is passed, Lavender says, so … approval stamp for drone attack!
How about the customers that are both time- and price sensitive?
The fact that the NSA was apparently not breaking the law is actually more infuriating and shifts focus on the need to change the law, which is opposing the government. You see, it’s always better to stick to the facts if you want to change things to the better.
What is still being debated in Taiwan is if it should declare independence officially, or accept the status quo of factual being independent without declaring it. This is where the three major parties have a different stance, because the DPP kinda tends to the declaration, while the KMT still declares that Taiwan is the legitimate China.
About the vote: All three major parties say publicly that they are against re-union in terms of being ruled by China’s CCP. Today, even Taiwan’s KMT continues to view Taiwan as the free, democratic and legitimate China. So no, no-one voted “pro mainland China” in terms of how the chinese CCP wants to rule over Taiwan.
Status quo is: Taiwan has its own from China independent border control, independent military, independent health care system, independent education system, independent currency, independent law system which is derrived from Japanese and German law, and independent political system, which is democratic.
This is not an opinion, but just the facts. It’s only CCPs rethoric that pretends the opposite.
Well, they say that SUVs never made sense in cities. Actually, also in villages, as this is happening in Germany. I’d say 99 ℅ of those SUVs are not used as an SUV. Not that I’m supporting manipulation on other people’s property, but I understand that part of their argument.
Even though per individual the rich are the greatest polluters, in absolut numbers average people might have a stronger influence on the climate due to being so many more people.
The argument of climate activists is that everyone is factually the victim of SUV drivers, because SUVs unnecessarily but lawfully contribute to deaths statistically.
I appreciate that you guys can disagree in something highly connected with emotions and still have a civil conversation.

He doesn’t care what people say about him, as long as they keep talking about him. You can make a lot of money by being a controversial figure nowadays. Being popular by being controversial is the business model.
And it works obviously. I didn’t know this guy until this post.
Trump can win a match by lying and playing foul if his opponent looks weak and his sole goal is to convince people. Integrity and experience are not enough to compete Trump. It needs someone in better physical conditions and charisma than Biden to prevent Trump.
