@Terenceshen Any individual with an ounce of knowledge and common sense knows the Chinese loves Trump in office. Why do you think their netizens call him 「川建國」?

@NuryVittachi Nah man, unfortunately, if Uncle Sam wills it, there will be another political scandal during the 2028 presidential election for the pan-blue campaign and the pan-green will sneak away with the win again…
RED FACES IN TAIWAN: The Chinese island’s unpopular Washington-allied administration reportedly spent US$15,000 to bring Polish statesmen Lech Walesa to speak at a function – and the great man said into the microphone: “Chinese nations have to unite.”
This caused apoplexy among the ultra-Sinophobic Trump-worshipping DPP crowd in Taipei – but it was too late. Spent the money, handed him the mic, have to smile and clap.
Taiwan’s media tried to put a positive spin on it, saying that Walesa said that Taiwan can lead the unification of the Chinese people (whatever that meant) when they reported his speech the meeting in Taipei on Monday.

PAYING TO BE INSULTED!
But it’s fun to enjoy the fury of people like the er “China expert” Sasha Chhabra, who wrote a fuming report on his substack titled: “Lech Walesa Betrays Taiwan” and saying: “Taiwanese taxpayers pay handsomely to be insulted!”
Chhabra wrote: “It was absolutely shocking when he stood before a crowd of Taipei’s foreign policy elite at the annual Yushan Forum, following a public audience with the President of Taiwan, and declared his support for ‘the unification of the Chinese people,’ or subsuming Taiwan into China, which it has never been part of.’”

JUST LOOK AT THE MAP
Taiwan is legally part of China, as almost every nation on earth recognizes, including the United States and the United Nations. It’s even specified in Taiwan’s own constitution.
But the DPP’s unpopular leader, Netanyahu-fanboi Lai Ching-te, is all about guns guns guns. He quoted Trump-Hegseth's creepily Nazi-like “Peace Through Strength” motto.
Lai announced that Taiwan must follow Trump’s ludicrous demand to NATO that weapons-spending must be raised to five per cent of public money—which is insane, given the island’s other problems, and the fact that IT ISN'T IN NATO. Hello! Taiwan is ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PLANET.
Fortunately, most Taiwanese people are too smart to follow Lai in thinking that Trump and Netanyahu are model leaders to follow. Lai only sneaked into power (with support from less than 30% of registered voters) at the last election because the other parties were disarray.
He's not expected to last.
