"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

Isn't the Taiwanese parlaiment famous for getting into physical altercations with each other?
Exactly. And this is where TWO out of three major parties almost openly working for china to ruin the Taiwanese system and bring Taiwan to chinese toes. DPP is actually the only one who is for defending Taiwanese democracy, even though it is not perfect.
So why does Chinese "authoritarianism" provide a better standard of living, housing and general life in comparison?
Seriously, you gotta actually offer something for people to want your shitty liberal democracy. Waving around the "freedumb" flag while offering no concessions in comparison to the actually working, thriving system that is uplifting millions out of poverty isn't going to work. I'm glad it's not working, so shit-libs like you can see the fall of your precious shitty democracies. Hope it's painful!
By which mean china is a better living standard? Have you ever visited both? Or you are following official data from a communist country? I visited both on multiple occasions. I am out of post-communist country. Communism and dictatorship is a shitshow. If you grew up in your red dreams it is not my problem until you are my problem and going to bring me into that.
I hope he will
Exactly what? The mental gymnastics you're doing and still you weren't able to come up with a semi coherent response. Bravo 👏
You realize the island of taiwan is part of China, a fact on whcih the PRC and RoC agree on?
The only thing DPP does is gambling with chinese lives.
Haha what did you just said? Where and when did that happened? Communist party has never had a power over Taiwan. Even if we are talking about the military gains that a chinese forces (boosted by USSR) got in china during the civil war.
"Republic of China"
It's right there in the fucking name, chief.
No, it is not. It means it is a republic country with the name China. Not something belonging to china. Study, please. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwan
The PRC is China.
The ROC is China.
The PRC is not the ROC.
The ROC is not the PRC.
Do you understand?
Saying "Study, please" and then linking the wikipedia article for Taiwan is so fucking funny
Where would you go to study the subject, Douying? Haha This Wiki article is representable for a brief.
"Perfect democracy" is when you make public criticism of your party illegal
