Yet from China's point of view, the KMT is more or less a Taiwanese organization. There's something rather interesting about a party that is largely nativized but which is regarded as disloyal by its local rival and as regional by its former enemy.
What is it, I wonder? Someone once wrote about addiction and alienation in a way that comes awfully close to capturing the pathology of a refugee ideology that is rooted in denial and cynicism, yet lays down new roots:
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear my crown of shit
On my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stain of time
The feeling disappears
You are someone else
I am still right here.
