Yet ironically, as Taiwan seeks to free itself from its own sordid history, some fools think that Taiwan’s salvation is to link with the soy paste vat of China. Even now Taiwan’s rulers refuse to face the erosion of justice and human rights. Some even wish to change the name of Democracy Hall back to that of dictator Chiang Kai-shek (蔣介石).
As for the rest of the Taiwanese, do they willingly wish to be sheep and slaves like those in China?
