Insulting DPP (democratic progressive party) leadership is now officially illegal in Taiwan. Taiwan can finally stop pretending they have political free speech.
Public insult is a criminal offense under Taiwan’s Criminal Code, unlike in many other democracies. Lin faces up to one year in prison or a fine of less than NT$9,000 (US$287) under Article 309 of Taiwan’s Criminal Code, CNA reported. The charges stem from remarks Lin made during a speech at a live-streamed rally outside DPP headquarters on July 20.
Taipei District Prosecutors Office investigators said Lin, then a serving lawmaker, repeatedly used obscene language in his speech, including swearing aimed directly at Lai five times.
meanwhile your average citizen in Shenzhen or Shanghai have a much higher quality of life and standard of living. Seems like DPP should just give the fuck up. A group self-removal might be the best option they have; would save China a lot of time!
