  4. Rare L from More Perfect Union. Rent control is well-studied at this point. It does have some short-term positive effects with reducing displacement, but on its own, ultimately decreases housing growth, increases long-term rents, and decreases housing stock quality. Rent control reacts to a symptom of the housing crisis, but does NOT address the actual root cause of the housing crisis.

  10. It's so unfortunate, those like Nathan and others would be a respected leader in HK and representing the true will of HK people if not for strongarming by the CCP. Hope that HK will be liberated and that all the exiles will be able to return to lead their home.

  11.  @kevinmiller9760  stupid analogy, Taiwan has never been part of another country in recent history. China has nothing to do with Taiwan.

  12.  @RodrigoPalma700  keep Taiwan free!

  13. Taiwan has never been part of China. You're good at copy and pasting this statement. Bot?

  14. Because so many ppl have escaped HK lol

  15.  @kevinmiller9760  it was part of ROC, and it's still part of ROC and is known as Taiwan now. China now is the PRC, and it was never part of the PRC.

  16.  @LoC28C  Taiwan has never been part of China, claiming so is historical lmao.
    5
  17.  @LoC28C  Taiwan is literally older than the PRC. No sane person believes that Taiwan is part of the PRC, there is nothing about Taiwan that is ruled by the PRC. It's own government, currency, military, culture.

  19. Definitely--his view is a fringe view that represents, based on polling, less than 2% of Taiwan's population. Asian Boss pretending that this is a random pedestrian is disingenuous.

  21.  @erwinlee2842  Taiwan is already independent, no separatism needed.
    4
  22.  @Dept246  the only thing stopping Taiwan from formally declaring independence is its genocidal neighbor that threatens war constantly. Taiwan is already functionally independent anyway, no need.

  23. Not comparable at all, Taiwan was never part of PRC.

  24. CCP really went all out with sending the wumaos to this comments section lol

  25. Taiwan is already independent. Never have been ruled by the CCP, never will be. Not even for a minute.

  27. US imperialism is bad. So is Chinese imperialism. You should have some morals and oppose both.

  28.  @floptaxie68  by your logic, all English speaking countries are part of England. USA, Canada, Australia, even India, are part of England? And are Singapore and Malaysia part of China?

  30. the ROC dictatorship from Mainland China did that, not Taiwanese people. The ROC dictatorship from Mainland China also massacred Hokkien Taiwanese people. Learn some history. Now the PRC dictatorship from Mainland China wants to invade Taiwan to expand its imperial empire.

  31. CCP's sins will never be forgotten. They can suppress Hong Kongers but throwing them into jail, but they will never kill Hong Kongers' fight for freedom. 香港人加油

  32. Keep Taiwan Free!

  33.  @vietnguyen4312  thank you for the facts!! Taiwan has never been part of China. It is already independent.
    3
  34.  @LoC28C  well, I think Taiwanese people being able to dictate the decisions made in Taiwan is very valuable. It's called democracy, something that Taiwanese people fought VERY hard for and deserve to be proud of. CCP has demonstrated that it does not respect the rule of the people and is a dictator, constantly threatening violence against people of a foreign country (Taiwan).
    3
  35. Mr. Liu, a Chinese national, knows nothing about Taiwan's domestic political matters. Given China's constant threats, the "independence politics" is a crucial step in ensuring Taiwan's future and its ability to forge its own path free from military aggression.
    3
  36. Taiwan has never been ruled by the PRC. Dumb.
    3
  37. Taiwan is free. Lots of tankies in these comments that know nothing of Taiwan's history. Taiwan has never been ruled by the CCP, not even for a minute. Taiwan's future is only for Taiwanese people to decide.

  38. 光復香港，時代革命

  39. Maybe you shouldn't have misrepresented views in your video by soliciting online for a pro-China Taiwanese citizen and then trying to pass him off as an ordinary citizen you met on the streets. Embarassing.
    3
  40.  @floptaxie68  no such thing as 中國語， don't make things up. The PRC does not have a claim over Mandarin language.
    3
  41.  @LoC28C  Taiwan has a completely different history from China, cut your lies. Taiwan has never been part of the PRC
    3
  42.  @LoC28C  Taiwan is not part of the PRC, and it literally never has. A lie doesn't become true become just because you keep repeating it. PRC has never had any control over Taiwan, other than making military threats.

  43. It should have been him. We could have had Bernie as our president. Now we're here.

  44. US didn't instigate anything. CCP instigated the protests by suppressing the rights that were guaranteed to Hong Kongers and beating them indiscriminately. RIP HK. 光復香港，時代革命

  48. Free Tibet. Wish Tibetans could simply live their lives and dictate their own future, instead of having their homes turned into tourist villages for Han Chinese to see.

  49. heartbreaking to see the Gao's condescension towards people experiencing genocide, including those in the audience. This is indefensible.

  53.  @daiwanrenzhudinsiguang  reunification has never been part of China, reunification is a misnomer. That would be called colonization. Or annexation.
    2
  54.  @jhe3903  Because the ROC was a colonial power that subjugated Taiwan and Taiwanese people. This is such simple question, and shows that you know nothing about Taiwan but want to disparage Taiwan.
    2
  55.  @peterh9180  you say it's fiction, yet you can't explain what the truth is. Lmao. That is the history, Taiwanese people had nothing to do with the ROC until the military came. Simple, don't be stupid
    2
  56.  @iczerone2000  nope, Taiwan has never been ruled by the PRC. Not even for a second.

  57. Taiwan is Taiwan, simple!

  60.  @LoC28C  you're the one making ridiculous claims, it's on you to prove it. Taiwan is functionally independent. Trying invading Taiwan and see what happens. China loves military aggression. After all, if Taiwan was already part of the PRC, then it wouldn't need to threaten violence all the time.

  61. Free HK!

  62. Keep Taiwan Free!

  63. The protestors and members of HK civil society may have been suppressed, but they will forever be remembered as legends who fought for their home with unshakeable conviction against the tiniest odds. The HK spirit lives on, not matter how CCP tries to kill it.

  88. Now Norfolk Southern is embarking on a merger with Union Pacific to create a massive railroad giant that makes up 43% of the railroad market, and the Trump Administration will likely do nothing to stop it because Trump has been on a mission of massive deregulation. If governmental action is not taken to require higher safety standards and punish offenders, then these incidents will only keep happening.

  93. Nope, never has. Chinese leave Taiwan alone, thanks.

  94. Free Hong Kong. Independence is the only way out of this. China has demonstrated that they are not capable of respecting the freedoms of its people. Very sad to see Hong Kong's decline at the hands of its government.t

  95.  @vietnguyen4312  Taiwan's position is not dictated by what foreign governments are coerced into saying

  96.  @LoC28C  nobody agrees with this lol, the PRC has never ruled Taiwan. Keep lying
    1
  97.  @LoC28C  Taiwan belongs to Taiwanese people, not a foreign government entity. PRC has never taken over Taiwan and never will
    1
  98.  @LoC28C  "reunification" is impossible because Taiwan has NEVER been ruled by China, not even for a minute. If China decides to invade and conquer Taiwan, that wild be called annexation and would probably involve a genocide. Taiwan is already independent with its own government, every rational person around the world with a brain recognizes this, and every country around the world understands that it is a different country, even if China bullies them into making irrational statements otherwise.
    1
  99. nope CCP doesn't allow
    1
  100.  @LoC28C  you're and idiot, there are not real elections in China. The leader of the PRC is a dictator-for-life who cannot be ousted. Taiwan has real elections, and democracy is something that Taiwanese fought for against an authoritarian regime. Taiwan will continue to fight against PRC authoritarianism being instituted through genocide and colonization. Again, Taiwan has never been part of the PRC, so "reunification" is not a possibility.
    1
  101. Brave people of our generation. Hope they are all well.

  102.  @Sva10  Exactly. No Taiwanese person wants anything to do with China's government that constantly threatens Taiwan.
    1
  103.  @hydrawish8725  Taiwan has never been ruled by the PRC, and Taiwanese people are not Chinese. The only way that Taiwanese people were made to believe that they are Chinese is by the ROC (a colonial government in Taiwan) pushing a narrative from the 1950's mainland that has nothing to do with Taiwan's own history. Taiwan, and Taiwanese people, existed long before the ROC existed. Removing that propaganda from textbooks in Taiwan is a crucial step in truly understanding Taiwan's history beyond that of the genocidal history of the ROC. The only way out is this sort of truth, and from Taiwan to free itself from the ROC by declaring itself as the Republic of Taiwan. The CCP has threatened to kill Taiwanese people if that happens though, so that goal will take some time.
    1
  104.  @MicroCaletus  LMAO, China has been threatening to invade Taiwan and violate it's sovereignty since the 1950's. China is violent and genocidal--they are the only aggressor of the two
    1
  105.  @MicroCaletus  This is completely false, China has been threatening to invade Taiwan and violate its sovereignty since the 1950's. CCP's genocidal posturing is decades old.
    1
  106.  @MicroCaletus  No. This has been happening since the 1950s.
    1
  107.  @srappytrex3946  Yet it has nothing to do with you if you're not Taiwanese. China, and Chinese people, have no right to be telling Taiwan what they can or can't do.
    1
  108. Correction--the PRC has NEVER governed Taiwan!

  109. HK police have no shame with anything. After all, in 2019, they showed the world that they're willing to beat up Hong Kongers only for exercising their rights to protest.

    1
  116. Also, no taiwanese person will get in trouble for their views. Their is actual freedom of speech in Taiwan, unlike in china.
    1
  117.  @WilliamAnderson-azzwq6p making lots of propaganda claims but can't back it up. Again, Taiwan has actual freedom of speech, you are free to say what you wat there, no matter how dumb it is.
    1
  118.  @WilliamAnderson-azzwq6p lol you're focusing on the 0.01% fringe view that does not represent Taiwanese people.
    1
  119.  @WilliamAnderson-azzwq6p  yeah, the protest had fucking barely anybody there, but is being amplified by Chinese state media because they need anything to cling onto. Thanks for your propaganda, "William Anderson." You're probably a wumao. Focus on your own country, Taiwan is Taiwan and doesn't need your opinion.

  120. Ah, seeing your one video post, you actually are a Chinese bot. Nice try fooling people. Lmao.
    1
  121.  @WilliamAnderson-azzwq6p why did your CCP bot comments stop after I called you out? No longer getting 50 cents per comment?
    1
  122.  @WilliamAnderson-azzwq6p a tiny protest that is barely even noticeable, nobody cares. That's why it's not worth mentioning. But best of all, they're allowed to protest because they have actual freedoms. A protest in china will end you up in prison. You are a propagandist bot, your video post and comment history makes it clear. Here's 50 cents!

  123. ⁠ @WilliamAnderson-azzwq6p complaining about censorship is crazy coming from a CCP bot

  126.  @WilliamAnderson-azzwq6p ah the protest only being reported by pro CCP news from China. Meanwhile, CCP-influenced KMT legislators are about to be rightfully recalled by the will of millions of Taiwanese people.

  134. @myintmaunmaun  ah, fighting for universal suffrage... How "racist" and "self-hating" to want to be the ones who govern and dictate Hong Kong's future instead of people loyal to a regime more than a thousand miles away.

  135.  @Bk6346  Didn't belong to the PRC, that's the point. The Qing dynasty isn't the PRC. The Qing dynasty never even controlled all of Taiwan (not that it's relevant anyway).
    1
  136.  @kriswright4739  I know Taiwan history perfectly well. Yes, Taiwan has been colonized throughout history by many entities, include dynasties from China. None of these period of colonization justify further colonization by yet another regime from China. Taiwan's future will be determined by Taiwanese people this time
    1
  137.  @kriswright4739  your logic is bad, Qing dynasty never even had full sovereignty over Taiwan lol. And they're gone now--no claim left for China. Simple!
    1
  138.  @dragondescendant1  lol yes, anything can be true if you lie. Beginning of time is actually false, that ignores all of taiwan's history. Since 1949 is also false, because the PRC has never governed Taiwan. Facts matter.
    1
  139.  @LivingLonger  great job quoting mao, the dude that caused the most death in human history. Genocidal.
    1
  140.  @kriswright4739  none of you comment has any logic anyway. Taiwan certainly hasn't ever been singing the PRC anthem. Also, part of the beauty of Taiwan is that it doesn't need to be an ethnostate like China, which is actively erasing any minority language and cultures. The culture in Taiwan has nothing to do with its statehood. Albeit, the KMT has done it's fair share of damage in Taiwan with white terror. This is why the only way into the future for Taiwan is de jure Independence, continuing on it's path of being the most free region in Asia, free from Chinese repression.

I've never gotten the appeal of having a massive room when I'm just going there to sleep.

  157.  @LoC28C  are you literally blind? Xi has threatened to invade by 2027. Invading Taiwan is a favorite topic for Chinese officials to breed toxic nationalism. This has been since the 1950s.
