@ShuCarolina Wrong. Its not above 50%. As of Oct 2023, her approval rating is only 38%. Thats not representative of the majority

@ShuCarolina "You need to do a better research" I need to do better research? More like YOU need to do better research. You just used ONE poll to make a judgement? Good research requires MULTIPLE polls, from MULTIPLE polling companies (as they may be polling in locations with a bias towards or against certain parties). And most of these polls poll her around 40% as of right now. As of right now her disapproval rating (50%) is HIGHER than her approval rating! In the beginning when her approval rating (TPOF) is in the 50s percentage point, her disapproval rating was only in the 20s. Which was still somewhat acceptable to the mass. But now, her disapproval rating is about 50%, which is HIGHER than her approval rating, from the SAME poll (important), then that says everything already. Clearly Taiwan is dissatisfied with Tsai. And Im not talking about DPP. Im talking about Tsai. Theres a difference. "KMT which just lost in this Presidential election today blamed Ma for his remarks in the interview with DW" Im not surprised. Politicians always deflect and blame others. "Ma also claimed that Taiwan has NO ability to defend itself against China. Such remarks may have made voters deviate away from KMT" If you bothered watching the whole interview, he did not say Taiwan has "NO" ability to defend itself against China. How can people even misinterpret words so wrongly when its even taken from the primary source? "To answer your question, everything Ma has said and done clearly is helping President Xi to advance Xi's "unification" agenda on Taiwan" Wrong. His stance was "NO unification, NO independence, and NO use of force". Seriously, didnt you watch the video? His position was to avoid conflict of wars. And IF there is reunification, which is KMTs goal from the start (might have changed) then it is to be "peaceful and democratic" as he mentioned. Thats NOT on the side of Beijing. Again, how can you misinterpret words so easily when the primary source is right in front of you? Whats your highest level of education? "It is another evidence that President Tsai's work in her 8 year terms gained widely recognition by the Taiwan people" No majority vote is called "evidence"? If its that evident then DPP should have a MAJORITY vote. Most Taiwanese did NOT vote for DPP Hows that "evidence"?

@violetlai8068 Wrong. It was HK that broke the agreement first. This is what your medias not telling you. HK had a constitutional duty to create their very own "national security law". But failed to do so. Thats why Beijing had to step in, because HK broke their promise. Also, when HK was under the British, HK had no democracy. Their democracy was given by China. What does that tell you? And there is literally no evidence of China sending in their military and law enforcement into HK. Thats all rumours and speculation. HK speaks Cantonese, not Mandarin. So itll be easy to identify if there really was Chinese military and law enforcement there. But no, only rumours and speculations.

@user-sc7tj2xi6s When you say "Hong King incident", what do you mean by that and what is your understanding of that? Because from what I know, its all a misunderstanding. The people were protesting against an imaginary fear thats clearly not even in the proposed bill.

@martinfiedler4317 The "whole world"? You mean the West and its allies right? Most of the world does NOT see Taiwan as a independent country.

@ShuCarolina And how is Mas position the same side as Beijing when he says no unification? And even if there is, it must be done democratically. None of these were what Beijing wanted. So not sure what you meant by "same side of Beijing".

@allanbernabe5189 How do you know what goes on behind closed doors for ALL dialogues? This happened only once, and that was with the US as they backtracked on their One-China Principle, a cornerstone of US-China relations.

@joemosely9383 You do realise Taiwans SCS policies mirror Mainland Chinas right?

@talkinghand122 China doesnt have say in presidential elections, but they have a say in policies that directly affect their lives and can have that changed immediately, something that most democratic countries cant even change or take decades to change. Would you rather have a say in policies that directly affect you, or have a say in who the president is but no say in policies?

@talkinghand122 No, most of the promises during presidential campaigns are not delivered. Did Mexico pay for the wall? Did he repeal and replace Obamacare? Did he pay off the national debt? Did he deport all illegal immigrants? Did he rebuild the countrys infrastructure? Did the corporate tax rate ever reach 15%? Its all catchy words to get you to vote for them. But most of his promises were not delivered. Its mostly empty promises. Whereas for China, although they cant elect their president. All that was promised was met or close to being met. And citizens are able to easily make changes to policies or things in their lives that directly affect them. Like this bus stop has no roof? Roof will be installed within a week. What? The pavement is cracked? Fixed within a week. Park has no seats in shade area? Itll be there in week. Everything affecting peoples daily lives are solved in a short amount of time. The government works for the people there, not corporation (lobbying is illegal in China).
