You can't tell from that vague as hell police press. hmm well I just got persona 5 and based on my understanding of the Japanese criminal Justice system he's probably living in an attic above a coffee shop and the cops just assume someone has him in custody

This thread, like most western observers of Taiwanese politics, obsesses over the grand geopolitical aspects of the green/blue dichotomy but ultimately a lot of that are just theoretical and rhetorical constructs that take a back seat to local concerns. It’s a little like Irish politics, I’d imagine. The parties’ stances on sweeping foreign challenges are often just idpol.Throatwarbler posted:they've been saying the same thing about every TW president since ah bian. Every DPP leader is a separatist mastermind playing 6d chess to start world war 3 until they retire/are forced out due to petty corruption because they're ultimately just venal parochial politicians with no bigger ideological agenda beyond enriching themselves. Guess that makes it a little like South Korean politics, too

Looks like there's big protests in Xinjiang too. https://twitter.com/whyyoutouzhele/status/1596475193631047681 sad that the West are going to exploit this for their own gains. compare and contrast this to the response in the UK to the Grenfell Tower fire, nobody protested this hard over such a catastrophic loss of life.

Josef bugman posted:What are the protests about? covid lockdown edit: a locked down apartment building in Xinjiang (lol) had a fire and there were too many cars parked for the fire truck to effectively do anything, couldn't get close, and I heard 10 people died. The video was massively shared and now people are protesting, mostly college age, and of course it becomes about human rights and criticizing the party for western observers Antonymous has issued a correction as of 22:49 on Nov 26, 2022 |

the protests in Zhengzhou are also sparked by covid lockdown and mismanagement by the taiwanese company. yes its taiwanese, and they didn't isolate the new hires to replace those who quit after their previous lockdown

Chinese people are raised to work together and see their neighbor as themselves so a big protest won't be some piddly slogan holding event that half the country mocks like in Taiwan or USA. Chinese actually believe they can change things and the government will have to figure something out

Lol I like how in the second video when they're doing the call and response "CPC!" "Step down!" "Xi Jinping!" "Step down!" at 0:16 the caller says some other guy's name and all the responders are like, "Who?"

DPP blamed, some people also upset about the speed of reopening (some complain too fast when cases went way up in the spring, and yes a small minority about it not being fast enough and hurting the economy) but inflating is def first. hundreds of news stories about restaurants raising prices, people lining up for cheap eggs, "this place has sold this bowl of noodles for 50 NT for twenty years and now it's going up to 65!" stuff. If this election happened a year ago, after the gov successfully stopped an alpha covid outbreak around the island and inflation was still low, it would be a different story, but well, this year is not last year

As someone who lives in china until very recently, and very pro lockdown (and locked down myself for a combined 21 days + a month of nothing being open in my city), I think covid 0 is over. People are pissed. It's the worst of both worlds, constant lockdowns and it's still ravaging the population. Destroying the economy. Thousands of people will die unnecessarily (way more than that fire) but china will follow the rest of the world. Omicron makes covid 0 impossible. It worked with alpha and delta, but omicron is just too much.

It's maddening the government hasn't mandated N95/KN94 masks and better air filtering. It's such a cheap solution and it's already been figured out. Surgical and cloth masks should just be phased out entirely. You don't have to choose between the economy and health.

There are some legitimate and overdue criticisms of the implementation and methodology for pursuing covid zero, but it's been buried by the fact that everyone wants them to drop it completely, not make it better
