Either in regards to the current political situation, or for other reasons. What drew you to the idea of living in another country? Do you think whatever benefits it offers are really worth it, or is the grass just greener on the other side of the fence?

    We are not going to get bombed. At least it’s not yet a concern. China needs Taiwan to be the scapegoat. Our tiny island is the reason for their citizens agony, not the PRC.

      Yeah. Don’t get me wrong, fuck China, but their imperialism isn’t always like western imperialism. Here, we see an “enemy,” and they better get ready for some democracy. China seems more willing to engage with maintaining an oppressive opinion without necessarily acting on it. Personally I think it has more to do with the fact that western nations are still democracies; if someone offers to put nuts on the table for established propaganda, they’ll usually get into political office.
