    Friendly reminder that CPC-KMT relations were downright friendly. The tensions surrounding the Taiwan Strait today are a direct product of the DPP’s policy.

    The DPP has received sizable backing and support from the US state-funded National Endowment for Democracy. Oops.

        The CPC and KMT were moving towards peace. That’s undeniable.

        Then, the DPP comes in from what’s certainly not a coup and takes power. This is the same DPP that has changed Taiwan’s focus from economic development (under the KMT) towards “national security issues and China’s threat to Taiwan in local elections.”

        These are issues that were directly provoked by DPP hostility in relations. The DPP has categorically set back peace in the region by at least a decade.

          Towards peace like Russia walks towards peace in Ukraine? Come one buddy let it go, I can’t take you serious…

            Do you understand history at all? Jesus Christ it’s like Westerners forget that history doesn’t start when the new government takes power.

                Did anyone say that?

                The relationship between the CPC and the KMT was, if not warm, at least warming rapidly. Denying that is to deny recent history.
