US propaganda machine is well oiled for sure, and we’ve already seen how well brainwashing worked in Ukraine. Hopefully, once that project collapses it’s going to be a bit of a wake up call. I did see that KMT is polling well, do you think it’s likely that DPP gets kicked out and negotiations from 2014 restart?
It’s quite possible but the KMT are nicknamed 百年烂党 (roughly translated to crappy centennial party) for a reason lol. They do at least recognize the shared history and lineage with the mainland but certain groups within them have went for a “two China” or a “Chinese commonwealth” solution in the past (which would be rejected as it breaks the one China policy).
They will ease tensions to a degree and seek to resume some trade with the mainland, but anything substantial will be dragged through the mud by the DPP (they do their best snake oil sales routine as the opposition party lol). While the DPP rabidly scream for independence and elements of the KMT continuing their own under the table independence, neither have dared to breach their own constitution by declaring it or even taking it to the polls lol.
That does sound like a mess, seems like there’s lots of opportunists all pulling things in different directions. Much the way politics in the west go as well.
