Opposition Kuomintang (KMT) chair-elect Cheng Li-wun (鄭麗文) said on Friday that she hopes Taiwan can "make as many friends as possible," when asked to elaborate on her recent remarks that "Vladimir Putin is not a dictator" because he was elected, during an interview with Deutsche Welle (DW).
They have been at least since 2014. That’s when the original talks of reunification started between them and the mainland. The tentative deal was that they would retain autonomy and their own military, but would officially recognize being part of China. Taiwan would’ve had a representative in CPC on the mainland as well. That’s when the US started up the whole sunflower movement to put DPP in power. It looks like KMT has stayed fairly consistent in their position, and now that DPP is becoming massively unpopular, they might actually get back into power and finish the deal.
I suspect that the war in Ukraine played a big role in shaping public opinion in Taiwan as well. Incidentally, CBC was moaning just recently how young people aren’t really that anti-China, and would rather have peaceful reunification than turn Taiwan into Ukraine.
Wypipo whining that Taiwan residents won’t be good little puppets and sacrifice themselves for a pointless war against the mainland is a timeless cracker classic
