One thing that I was always mystified with is the antipathy that the KMT has for the DPP. Well, sure it may make sense, after all, the KMT is an opposition party, so their job is to oppose the DPP when they deem it should be opposed.
That's fine, that's how politics works. But what I don't understand then is the love affair between the KMT and the CCP. It seems that KMT leadership is much more opposed to the DPP than the CCP.
But the CCP is the one responsible for aiming 800 missiles at Taiwan. The CCP is responsible for obstructing Taiwan from crucial NGO's like the World Health Organization. The CCP has one of the worst human rights records on the planet. The CCP continues to persecute Falun Dafa practitioners and democracy activists.
The KMT's job may indeed be to oppose the DPP, but clearly, there's no reason to suck up so much to the Chinese Communist Party.
The DPP respects the freedom and fundamental rights of Taiwanese citizens. It is a party that helped establish democracy on Taiwan. The CCP's values are anti-freedom, anti-rights, and anti-democracy. Why fall in love with them?
Unless of course, these KMT leaders share the same values as the CCP? This explains why Taiwan suffered for over 40 years under a KMT dictatorship....
