China launched its most extensive war games around Taiwan on Monday to showcase Beijing’s ability to cut off the island from outside support in a conflict, testing Taipei’s resolve to defend itself and its arsenal of U.S.-made weapons.
The Eastern Theatre Command said it had deployed troops, warships, fighter jets and artillery for its “Justice Mission 2025” exercises to encircle the democratically governed island, conduct live fire and simulated strikes on land and sea targets, and drills to blockade Taiwan’s main ports.
The live-firing exercises will continue on Tuesday across a record seven zones designated by China’s Maritime Safety Administration, making the drills the largest to date by total coverage and in areas closer to Taiwan than previous exercises. The military had initially said artillery firing would be confined to five zones.
What you’re looking for was tried by the progressive administrations following democratisation, but faced opposition in the Legislative Yuan, mainly from the opposition KMT party, including rewording of “paying reparations” to “paying compensations” to the victims
It’s absurd to claim Taiwan today is moulded by the White Terror era, or that the administration or political entities have fascist policies.
Again, if we look at the framework of fascism, the PRC is much closer to a fascist definition than Taiwan
My original claim:
Your last comment:
So you agree with my point that public institutions and economic power are tainted with non-purged members of the fascist state? I’m very insistent about this because I happen to be a Spaniard, and I have equal criticism towards my own government, which never purged the political or economical powers after the 1975-1980 transition to bourgeois democracy.
Absolutely ridiculous. Communism is literally the polar opposite of Fascism and has shown this time and time again. All of the land of China, for starters, belongs to the people collectively through the state, and is only leased through 80-year periods to homeowners, directly making impossible the accumulation of wealth through real state. This by itself is more communist than any policy in Taiwan.
