NOW Neocons Are READY: Make Taiwan The Ukraine Of Asia | Jeffrey Sachs & Joanna Lei - YouTube
The provocations from Washington just never stop. Be it Nancy Pelosi visiting Taipei or US military personell stationed on some of Taiwan's closest Islands to mainland China, the US is upping its game to make sure China is provoked into a corner form which only war can result. Donald Trump just staffed his cabinet with people who want to bring peace to Europe to focus all their warfare on Asia. The signs for Taiwan (and the Philippines) are bad.
To discuss the unfinished but currently peaceful Chinese Civil War, I'm joined today by Dr. Joanna Lei, a scholar, business women, US media executive, and former Senator in the ROC parliament and the US-American scholar, Dr. Jeffrey Sachs, an economics Professor at Columbia University.
I'm huge fan of Joanna Lei.
(33:43) "You want peace, don't provoc." - Dr. Jeffry Sachs
Yeah, same thing said by Putin at end of 2021 (no, he said Russia and Ukraine are borthers there no need a war) and Zelenskyy basically tell him f**k off I'll continue bombing eastern Ukraine anyway you can kick me back if you dare and oops, a sad bomb dripping on Russia's land.
(38:08) "It is important to have the United States turning its head to look at China in a different way as a potential partnered to solve issues of the world. And the only time I saw that happening was in those disaster movies, you know 2012 and all these others - when you have foreign invasion or aliens coming down to the world, the earth, United States will work with other powers." - Dr. Joanna Lei
Gosh I love her so much. X"D
(5:28) "Biden has propelled Taiwan as a model democracy, a value partner in the West Pacific.
However, the DPP is not what they have touted for.
For in the third term, or the second term in Tsai Ingwen's term, DPP has a super majority in Congress as such:
they have passed a series of targeted bills of attender, that allowed them to a recent news channels licenses and therefore stem on the freedom of speech.
They have also cancelled over 100 political parties, over 40 political associations registration with the internal affairs department.
Thirdly, they have incarcerated political dissidents and political party leaders.
Even today, they have incarcerated who he is - before they were sentenced to be guilty, they have incarcerated the opposition party - the number three party leader Ko Wen-je to, yet again back to before he was even tried.
And the last one is they have confiscated KMT's party assets as well as deemed a lot of KMT affiliates to be special relationship with KMT and confiscated their assets as well.
So you can see that the sort of model value partner by DPP - which the Biden administration used as a reason to defend Taiwan is but a facade or a movie theater.
It's a very nice facade, but if you pierce into it, you can see why we have so many silent cries in Taiwan, and our legislative branch has no real power to check and balance the abuse of power by the executive branch or by the president." - Dr. Joanna Lei
It's a 100％ authoritarian government under martial law.
And it's a model of democracy - 100％ correct for USA.
(whispers) She didn't even mention that the officials of ruling party public calling to hang the oppositions on streetlights.
