Insulting DPP (democratic progressive party) leadership is now officially illegal in Taiwan. Taiwan can finally stop pretending they have political free speech.
Public insult is a criminal offense under Taiwan’s Criminal Code, unlike in many other democracies. Lin faces up to one year in prison or a fine of less than NT$9,000 (US$287) under Article 309 of Taiwan’s Criminal Code, CNA reported. The charges stem from remarks Lin made during a speech at a live-streamed rally outside DPP headquarters on July 20.
Taipei District Prosecutors Office investigators said Lin, then a serving lawmaker, repeatedly used obscene language in his speech, including swearing aimed directly at Lai five times.
Death to Taiwan
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.
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
A Republic which the name of China, which claims Taiwan as part of it. Ergo, the RoC claims the island of Taiwan as part of China. Thank you for proving my point. You could have just agreed instead of making an ass out of yourself.
Why don’t the most fanatic paladins of reddit island know so little about it?
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.
The PRC is China.
The ROC is China.
The PRC is not the ROC.
The ROC is not the PRC.
Do you understand?
Ah yes, the Chinese Duality
In the name of the PRC, the ROC, and-
Ah shit there are only 2
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.

Some graphs display China as third place, only below Singapore and Spain. The U.S still ranks far below that.
These sources are all from the west or the U.N.
Read 'em and weep, libshit. Any other benchmarks you’re curious on? I do know China doesn’t have massive concentration camps set up all over the entire nation to process suspected “immigrants” and send them to countries that they don’t even belong to. At least with the supposed “genocide of the yogurts(uighur)!!” they have their supposed camps in the actual homeland of muslims in China. Literally even hypothetical state department propaganda about this shit isn’t as evil as the United States. But eh, shitlibs will just wave their hand and go “BUUUT IMAGINE HOW MUCH WORSE IT IS!!”
Chinese police kill far less people each and every single year. China pours more concrete than America has done in it’s entire history as it actually develops and moves the country forward into the future unlike the stagnating rural shitholes of burnt-out meth trailers in Appalachia or demunincipalized slums in major cities entirely forgotten and shoved to the side (old Flint, MI; parts of NY I grew up in). China has actually attempted to solve some of the 80s-90s slums, address poverty and doesn’t have 50+ interventions on it’s record for dealing with nations overseas. Turns out China respects sovereignty more than America ever did; while you can point to “Taiwan!!!” I can point to most of Latin America that the U.S has destroyed, overthrown or violently massacred for corporate interests.
I am out of post-communist country. Communism and dictatorship is a shitshow.
My great grandfather was an East German. He said the greatest tragedy of history was the Soviet Union falling. We can pull anecdotes all day. There’s plenty of people here from Communist countries or even from China itself that will gladly share their experiences; including those who have visited! We even had a user pull up questions to a North Korean diplomat. Do you want to see some of these?
Average Cuban has a higher literacy rate, lower mortality rate and child mortality rate than the average American. But let me guess, since they don’t have fifteen brands of cereal they are living horribly under brutal embargo and sanction! Must be all their fault!
Enough of the Gusano bullshit. We are Marxists on here that organize and apply our ideology to the present in a scientific manner in accordance with practice (praxis). I am involved with IWW, WFP. Plenty of users are in PSL, marxist caucus in DSA, etc. It is not just “red dreams”; it is a red reality that shines in the face of countless gullible libshits like you. We have won generations. Your system has earned pedophile cultists.
- suffers neoliberal shock therapy * communism bad actually!
I hope he will

Why did the mortality rate go up so starkly in every post-soviet country following the collapse of the USSR?
Come on, say the line. “Fake news!! China, Russia!!”. Do the blue MAGA thing.
“Perfect democracy” is when you make public criticism of your party illegal
Exactly what? The mental gymnastics you’re doing and still you weren’t able to come up with a semi coherent response. Bravo 👏
Oh god I just realized this is a communist shithole here and I am a fighter for a truth here. Lol
Lmao what a fucking loser
fighter for truth
Brand new account posting nothing but Western propaganda.
Curious!
To be fair, what is being posted outlines how the western empire backed puppet separationist movement, which hides behind slogans of democracy and freedom, is actually moving toward dictatorship and behaves in a far more draconian manner than the country they demonize.
Not sure what aspect of that is westen propaganda, unless you mean it sarcastically. There may be a slight misunderstanding due to framing, as the identification of the regional administration did not directly address the fact they are seperationist movement in the heading.
I was referring to their anti-CPC screed.
oh i thought you are talking about the article sorry.
Oh god I just realized this is a communist shithole here and I am a fighter for a truth here. Lol

Current ruler in Executive Yuan is a group KMT+TPP, not DPP that is actually non stop attacked by those two in attempts to ruin reputation, but DPP is the one who actually is reformative forward-moving power. KMT can’t show the same attitude, so the only strongarm they have is actually mob-style strongarm.
In what way is the DPP “reformative”?
The DPP has engaged in systematic whitewashing of European and Japanese colonization. Their whole basis for Taiwan independence rests on the claims that a) China is engaged in colonization, b) China and Taiwan have different roots, and c) actual colonization was benevolent compared to Chinese rule.
The actual indigenous people of Taiwan remember death and occupation under Imperial Japan. They remember that Qing rule left their way of life largely unchanged. They probably harbor gripes against KMT for its earlier assimilation policies, but a majority still back the KMT over the DPP. (ex. https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/news/5094197)
Indigenous people are living in tribes and communities with community leaders being their ruler and news-bringer. It is well knows in Taiwan that those community leaders are profiting from corruption from KMT members.
As I said, DPP is not perfect too, but at least stands for being an “its own nation”, not ceding everything to china.
I am wondering where are you getting the info from, I love in Taiwan and I see a different picture from yours.
You live in Taiwan but don’t know what the ROC is?
Sure, pal.
Your knowledge is based on your assumption, pal. Not on the fact or science. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwan
The facts are that the government in Taipei calls itself the Republic of China and considers itself to be the legitimate government of all of China, including both the territory of the PRC and that of a few other countries such as the entire nation of Mongolia.
Someone claiming to be from Taiwan would know this.
In many way DPP is far more corrupt than KMT can dream to be. The DPP routinely dismisses every budget-related issues or corruption accusation as an unfounded smear orchestrated by paid communist actors, and regularly use nazi like tactic to rally crowd to storm legislative building to suspend hearing against DPP corruptions.
https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/news/6089238 https://image.taiwannews.com.tw/2025/04/19/4dbeea4955c24a3493a81c83cc16cfdf.jpg In fact the grass root supporter of DPP have been found to use modified nazi iconography in their rally.
And DPP supporter leadership have directly evoked nazi movement as inspiration for rallying DPP supporters to vote for the recall ballet to evict KMT and TPP held seats. https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/news/6170830 Minnan Wolf (閩南狼), a Taiwanese influencer and former ally of Chiung, announced on Sunday that he was cutting ties with him, per Newtalk. Wolf accused Chiung of studying Nazi ideology in depth and attempting to apply it during a political recall campaign.
Wolf alleged that Chiung shared images of Nazi eagles and military insignia with him as reference materials. He claimed Chiung talked about creating an organization similar to the Sturmabteilung, the original paramilitary wing of the Nazi Party, and discussed launching a “revolution” if the recall effort advanced to an election phase.
This is a first good informative reply here. Thank you. I don’t like either that DPP is corrupt too, and have its own issues need to deal with. From knowing some people from within, DPP is more tranparent and open to bring corruption topic out, but surely afraid to harm its own reputation. And I have to admit, I don’t like that activist and I am not following him. But it is just one out of thousands more. It is not realistic to accuse others of the same. I personally faced Taiwanese openly wearing Nazi SS and russian military symbols taking their inspiration and claiming KMT did right all along in the past.
Below is an example, but not a person I personally fsced https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2025/04/16/2003835294
It us interestingly, we are discussing here 2 key forces: One (DPP) is for democracy and equal right. Another (KMT and TPP) is funded by china to subdue a separate country Taiwan to china, and one of which have fascist enclanations (KMT). https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/news/6303943
DPP is a shadowy, self‑serving election machine, siphoning public money to reward DPP favored civilian networks while keeping the public in the dark about how it operates. DPP have ramped up environmental pollution and corrupt practices ever since it took power.
DPP is text book Trump MAGA movement that mimic its constant lie and fake news propaganda to prevent government oversight. And it is ironclad in its defense and obedience to USA, and DPP constant demonstrate their loyalty to western empire by swearing complete open support for Israel https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/new-atlanticist/why-taiwan-stands-with-israel/ Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen, and the incoming president, Lai Ching-te, were among the first world leaders to condemn the terrorist attack and express their support for Israel. At Wu’s request, Taiwan’s tallest skyscraper, Taipei 101, was lit in the colors of Israel’s flag on October 12, 2023. After the April 13 attack, Taiwan was quick to condemn Iran. On April 15, Tsai met with a delegation of Knesset members led by Boaz Toporovsky, the head of the Israel-Taiwan interparliamentary friendship group. During the meeting, Tsai conveyed heartfelt condolences and solidarity to the delegation. “During these horrible times, Israel saw and will always remember Taiwan’s support,” said Toporovsky.
While KMT is similar to democrat status quo do nothing party that refuses clear statement on any international issues, instead filled with kamala harris style political ambiguous nothing statement that pretend they have a foreign policy separate from USA interest.
That is why under DPP there is an explosion of weird defense budget spending issues. https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2025/12/16/2003848972 The Ministry of National Defense (MND) has allegedly awarded a security procurement deal to a tea company that has registered capital of only NT$100,000 (US$3,187), Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Legislator Wang Hung-wei (王鴻薇) told a news conference yesterday. The tender, which was released by the ministry’s Navy Command Headquarters in 2022, and involved sensitive information related to cybersecurity and national security, was awarded to Kaohsiung-based Hong Zhang Tea, Wang said.
Or how military explosive is handled by DPP affiliated civilian furniture companies. https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2025/12/12/2003848758 Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Legislator Wang Hung-wei (王鴻薇) said that Tainan-based Home-Max Furniture Trading on Tuesday last week won a tender to import a batch of RDX for less than NT$590 million (US$18.8 million). Wang questioned whether a relatively small furniture trading company should have been eligible to bid for a contract involving explosive materials, let alone secure it.
And DPP have turn a blind eye unchecked land clearing and illegal waste dumping all over the island https://amchamkhh.com/2025/09/kaohsiungs-illegal-gravel-pits-create-the-grand-canyon-of-meinong/ Locals now sarcastically call the massive craters, some as deep as a six-story building, the “Grand Canyon of Meinong.” The pits were left after farmland and state-owned land were illegally excavated for gravel and then backfilled with construction waste. At least four remain, now filled with stagnant, foul-smelling rainwater. After reports of illegal mining and dumping, the Qiaotou District Prosecutors Office, working with Kaohsiung police, opened a probe in late August, according to the Liberty Times. Investigators uncovered six hectares of excavation, some plunging 20 meters deep. Authorities estimate 1.3 million cubic meters of gravel were stolen, generating illicit profits of about NT$300 million (US$9.8 million). Fifteen excavators tied to the operation were seized, and prosecutors sought the detention of 13 suspects, with courts approving custody for two. The excavation is believed to have stripped away soil and gravel equal in volume to 542 Olympic swimming pools, UDN reported.
And that is not including the large scale forest clearing that cause landslide under DPP to install solar panel on land affliated with DPP party for massive government contract payout.
reformative forward-moving power.
meanwhile your average citizen in Shenzhen or Shanghai have a much higher quality of life and standard of living. Seems like DPP should just give the fuck up. A group self-removal might be the best option they have; would save China a lot of time!
