I support 100% of Tsai ing wen's policy of keeping sovereignty from aggressive Communist regime: to keep social order of liberal democratic system- the freedom and democracy . And I will take it to the personal threat of south Korean ppl and their sovereignty if the Chinese communist regime verbally threaten Taiwanese ppl by its vulgar, uncouge tongue.
