Taiwan proposed on Thursday $19 billion in defence spending for next year, a double-digit increase on 2022 that includes funds for new fighter jets, weeks after China staged large-scale military exercises around the island it views as its territory.
Military aid, political aid, media campaigns, and so on. NED is literally an arm of US government engaged in regime change operations around the globe.
Ah yes the billions poured into Taiwan by NED. Now let’s see, that’s $461,785 in grants that include Taiwan somehow, then divide it by the population of Taiwan to get two pennies per person. I bet that’s really going to move public opinion.
US has been propping up separatists and shaping opinion in Taiwan since the end of WW2. There certainly have been billions poured into this project over the past 70s years. The fact that you can’t even bring yourself to acknowledge this simple fact makes any meaningful discussion on the topic impossible.
Why do you think US is spending all that effort on an island half way across the world from it. Do you seriously believe it’s because US regime cares about wellbeing of the people there when it doesn’t even give a shit about its own populace?
Living in US, one would think you’d be well aware of how easily people can be manipulated. Your MAGA movement accounts for roughly 30% of the population now, is that just people thinking for themselves in your opinion? Would you support MAGA movements trying to secede from your country or would you claim that your government should intervene in that scenario?
That’s simply not a comparable scenario. MAGA folks are more numerous in certain areas, sure, but there isn’t a MAGA government or region made entirely out of MAGA citizens. Comparing a political movement, even one the size of MAGA, with a sovereign government that has ruled over its now 23 million citizens for 70 years is a bad comparison.
MAGA movement certainly has these characteristics in a few states like Texas and Florida. In fact, Texas actually made noises about exiting the union after the last election. This sentiment is likely to keep growing in the coming years. Again, let’s say a foreign government like China or Russia started pouring money into this movement, arming it, openly helping MAGA politicians get into office, and so on. You would consider this to be just American people thinking for themselves?
You’re also making a false statement about the government in Taiwan. KMT has been the government in Taiwan for most of its history, and it was actually moving towards reunification in 2014. US ran a color revolution to prevent that. Were you not aware of this fact or were you intentionally misrepresenting the situation?
That’s a good question, why does US not let Taiwanese people think for themselves and spends billions on shaping public opinion there?
What billions to shape public opinion? Or are you referring to military aid, which has nothing to do with public opinion.

I still trust the people of Taiwan to think for themselves more than I trust the CPC and Xi to tell them what’s best for them at gunpoint.
