[QUOTE=]For the first time in history, the Taiwan Parliament (Legislative Yuan) was occupied by protesters, who fought against a trade agreement with China.[/QUOTE]
From a reddit comment:
[QUOTE=]Essentially... This is how such things boil down:
Give a larger nation control of your economy.
Watch as the new members of the economy take over the local government.
Kiss democracy goodbye and watch the politicians pander to business instead of the people.
Because why pander to a populace that isn't paying you directly?[/QUOTE]

For a moment I thought it was going to be pro-chinese protestors trying to pressure the government to merge back with China or something
holy fuck, shit is serious, have a live feed of the parliament.

[QUOTE=Explosions;44284840]When has Thailand been part of China? And why would you instantly jump to that oddly specific conclusion?[/QUOTE]
what? this is about taiwan not thailand.
Are the tanks 30 minutes away?
but who will protect the chinese citizens from nazi nationalist taiwan?
i love how in every single instance of rallies like this anymore the party in power always accuses the opposition of inciting rebelion. its like one of the few universal constants with semi-democracy goverments
