*From the article:*
> Taiwanese voters rejected a bid to oust about one-fifth of their lawmakers, all from the opposition Nationalist Party, in a recall election Saturday, dampening hopes for the ruling party to flip the balance of power in the self-ruled island’s legislature.
>
>The independence-leaning ruling Democratic Progressive Party won last year’s presidential election, but the China-friendly Nationalists, also known as the KMT, and the smaller Taiwan People’s Party have enough seats to form a majority bloc.
That’s a wild headline for AP to put out. They were lawmakers the DPP labelled as pro-China. KMT also ruled Taiwan under martial law for almost 40 years under martial law, executing anyone suspected of having communist sympathies. It’s crazy that they are now casually referred to as the pro-China party. Clearly politics over there is a currently a hot mess and everything must be taken with a big grain of salt.
Because Taiwanese people, much like Chinese people just want the whole thing to go back to the way it was in the grey area of „it’s something, who gives a shit“ and frankly that status quo is best for everyone.
