I had to change my kids and the mothers diapers. I have changed elders diapers as well because hospitals here don’t have any useful nursing. I’m eagerly awaiting this socialism type stuff we hear so much about. Health care and education are all for profit…
The NHI was rolled out in 1995. The KMT was the ruling party at the time.
I am down to give the KMT flak at any time, but the facts have to be correct.

Another achievement: the creation of an indigenous defense industry.
One thing she didn’t succeed on: Free trade agreement with the United States.
Most Taiwanese cities still look like dumps.
Inequality is rising, the greed of landlords hasn’t been contained.
Bureaucracy is migraine inducing.

That’s not her responsibility. The mayors are responsible and most of them are KMT or Ko’s POS party.
Not more so than elsewhere.
Yeah because the president can eliminate greed, lmao.
She listens to Taiwanese people not foreigners. Bureaucracy for foreigners is irrelevant.
She already addressed that in the interview. Engage that if you’re serious about having a conversation and not just trying to get a rise out of people.

We’re not focused on elsewhere. We are focused on here.
Inequality is rising, and wages are super flat outside of tech.

We should focus on elsewhere too because most issues are global problems exacerbated by global events since 2020. The fact that Taiwan is amongst the least affected by all this hot mess is why her legacy is GREAT.
She’s also leaving office with >50% approval rating which is almost unheard of in a democracy, especially one where people are incredibly entitled and irrational like Taiwan.

I mean, Western “leftists” aren’t socialist either, especially not the US Democratic Party. They’re just as capitalist is the DPP, so it makes senses that American Democrats here would support the DPP.
Actual leftists wouldn’t support any mainstream political party here (or in most countries).
Well they seem to support Hamas.
And thank goodness for that.

No one has. Her as well, but that’s not a fault. Especially considering how well she did economically. Lets not forget that taiwan was in a stale mate over “pig growth hormones” and not getting weapons support. Tsai changed that because that was a stupid hold out, even though the US was being its usually bully for truly retarded reasons. I think even the US realizes how fucking moronic that was, now they back pedal due to the very obvious China threat. Bad chess skills. Maybe ok strategy in Go Fish!
8 years of proper management, not Chinese shills, has put down the foundation for loads of cross border talks. Both politically and economically. This cannot be ignored. Many more international people of power are coming here. Granted it’s not because Tsai is amazing, it’s because her stance is based on logic and rocks zero boats. Even the Pelosi visit cannot lovlgicially be argued against without admitting Chinese pandering. The DPP played that well also. Every other administration has been either too unethical, too corrupt or too scared to dare do something so normal and not important.
Even for the most blind of the pro China folks. She did a fantastic job, overall. They cant, logically, deny that. Thats why they talk about market vendors and street lights so often.
Now we can nit pick the things her administration came short on and pass that stress onto Lai. Vaccines and the latter years of covid seem worth improving on. As well as pushing harder for R&D on sustainable and cleaner energy security. As well as food and water security.
To be honest, I really don’t think Lai is as competent as Tsai. Or at least his inner circle that informs him isn’t. Who knows.
However, to be totally honest, the first election where Tsai lost to the Traitor to Taiwan Ma Ying Jeou, I also didn’t think Tsai was up to snuff. I had an active dislike for her actually. She proved me, and many others, totally wrong. Though i think it took her losing to get better. Let’s hope Lai does as well. I have more hope in his VP than Tsia’ s VP let’s just say 
But, he is the leader of our country, we should all be trying to help him do the job better so we all benefit.

Her comeback after losing to Ma is iconic. If she had won in 2012 Taiwan would’ve progressed even more.

I hope you are being ironic.
Outside Columbia. Columbia has suspended in-person classes. It’s insane. There are protests at Yale, Harvard, MIT and a bunch of other top schools in the US now and their statements are batshit insane.
That’s where the future of American leaders will come from.
Joe Biden is the last of the Democrats who support Israel almost unconditionally. He should’ve been shoved into the nursing home a long time ago.

This was a problem with so many schools LONG before the most recent Palestine/Israel issue…
My views are completely mainstream for people who studied economics and political science: Neoliberal economics, neoliberal foreign policy.
