Taiwanese election, Jan 2016

Since Tsai won the election, the commies have been trolling her almost non-stop.

They got other countries to deport Taiwanese telemarketing fraudsters to Commieland, thus putting her in a lose-lose situation.

Taiwan's tourism sector has crashed due to the chill from its largest natural market.

The commies invited mayors of counties/cities which voted KMT for a conference, and announced their areas won't be economically penalized. They implied if the deep green southern counties elect KMT mayors, their fruit exporters will benefit.

Taiwan wasn't invited to this year's ICAO conference, with the commies openly admitting it's because Tsai doesn't accept the 1992 consensus.

But is the KMT even capable of playing its part in a Third United Front? It doesn't seem particularly united or motivated.

It's really telling that half of Taiwanese view reunification as inevitable, even if the large majority of them ideally prefer independence. I recall another recent poll which indicated that while the vast majority still have a negative opinion of the CPC, the youngest adults have the highest positive opinions.

Keep your eye on the Vatican. All of the RoC's diplomatic partners are insignificant, except the Holy See. And most of these partners are majority Roman Catholic - if the Holy See switches recognition, all these will quickly switch, and the remaining partners will see no reason to continue relations with the RoC. There have been rumours of an imminent deal regarding the election of Catholic bishops for a while - seeing how <1% of Chinese are Catholic, this could be done without too much fuss.

It's funny how the road to Chinese reunification passes through...Rome.

Methinks Taiwan will cease to exist as an separate entity sooner rather than later...

You are a bit too gleeful about this.

Not gleeful, just cynical (hence my username). The vast majority of Taiwanese support the "status quo", but the status quo is in itself constantly changing. And not in their favor.
