I hope that west taiwanese citizens will realize just how bad their government is.
...by seeing how shit is lives are in comparison?
I don't think you understand how many centuries behind China the US is.
west taiwan is behind the US in every sense.
Except homeownership rates, poverty rates, homelessness, illiteracy, class mobility, workers rights, prisoners prisoners per capita...
The US is one of the worst countries given it's comical amount of wealth, usually coming in at rank 40 or lower by pretty much any stat you choose... Except gross GDP, the number of prisoners, the number of proper capita, the number of slaves working for private corporations, and maternal mortality rates. That's where the US excels that China simple can't compete in, arresting people, forcing them to work for profit for companies, and killing women in child birth.
Most annericans aren’t ready for that conversation. That’s why Trump won in the first place.
