Even within the government I can’t understand how a democratically elected politician could support something like this.

> what a 5000 years old country

How is that relevant and how does that entitle to Taiwain? They started colonizing it at about the same time as the Dutch.

> because it's "God's Promise" ?

That’s not the reason.

We are talking post 2000s here. What are you referring to with "completely subservient, even to point of a willingness to engaging in self detrimental behavior if demanded." ?

The notion that China is somewhat entitled to dominate its neighbors because it had a bad run 1-2 centuries ago is a bit silly.

and who exactly are we to dictate what a 5000 years old country and civilisation gets to do when we literally fund the mass murder of an entire group of people because it's "God's Promise" ?

Fun fact: I got my current job in part thanks to overleaf. I used it to write down my CV. It's so much more useful than Ms Word or Google Docs.

Case in point, this thread.

I wonder what it is about people in the West over the last generation that eliminates their ability to distinguish between “not ideal” and “terrible”, if the “not ideal” is their home base.

Ironically, the internet and the free access to information that comes with it have essentially removed the veil.

You can demonstrate in countless ways that democracies are freer than dictatorships but that will never stop a huge swath of online population from claiming that they are, in fact, the same.

Please make that demonstration then.
