Totally agree, what I like about in a multiparty democratic system, we don't need to worry about not getting the truth or not needing to find out the negatives ourselves. You get the opposition party doing the job for you. But of course we also need to learn to filter out subjective information or get information from multiple sources in order to find the actual truth. Opposition party or the party currently in power can both distort truths to their advantage. What I do like about Taiwanese politics is that the politicians are hilarious and down to earth. Parties may hate each other but to me, it's like watching a comedy. And both are serious and childish at the same time. Don't know how to describe it, but you don't see nor feel this in other countries. I feel more connected to the Taiwanese politicians because they feel like real human beings who actually care about ordinary citizens. And every political rally is like a social event. There are food, drinks, and music. Very colorful. You don't see that in the USA.

I wish our country would recognize Taiwan as the nation they are. But our government would rather appease China than stand up for democracy and human rights. I'm not sure why China is taking a nationalist aggressive stance either. It seems like ever since Xi Jinping came into power this seems more prevalent.

THE POSITIVE SIDE OF CHINA. You can't vote your govt leaders. You can't criticize the govt about its.wrong doings. You can't speak freely. You can't think freely. China has No morales and is constantly hungry for MONEY and LAND. So much so, that the Chinese are willing to oppress Xinjiang, Mongolia, Tibet and Hong Kong and threaten Taiwan's autonomy to do so. But we have morales and we're taught right from wrong since childhood. Chinese may be willing to sell their family members for doing business, but we're are not like this. The first step is to pressure China economically. This is achieved by calling for mass boycott of their cheap and inferior goods. We already had Huawei products banned and now we should pressure western manufacturers to leave China. China is not a superpower! It is economically at the mercy of Western Nations. We can go after Apple, Walmart, Samsung, Nike, and even block the imports of their agricultural goods (ex.garlic, etc). We can even boycott AliBaba.com and TikTok. The second step is to pressure our governments to embargo China to prevent imports as well as exports. Chinese people may be rude, rigid, self-centred, non assimilating and filthy but even they have needs at the end of the day. When they are deprived of luxury goods and western entertainment and medicine, even they will turn on their government. China is literally picking fights with everyone around. India on the western front, Japan on the eastern front, Australia on the southern front, Vietnam, Philippines, Laos, Taiwan, Malaysia, Brunei in the South China sea, etc. Internal squabbles with Hong Kong, Tibet, Mongolia and Xinjiang. Constantly threatening Taiwan directly and South Korea indirectly using North Korea as proxy. Threatening New Zealand and United States. I mean, it's mind numbing to think that they are righteous and all others aren't. Introspection, attitude change and course correction are the need of the hour for China. Needless to remind that everyone has a rightful place to live with dignity on planet Earth and peaceful co-existence with mutual respect to each other. .

You hit the nail on the head with this discussion. When you have to focus on the bad things about everyone else just to make yourself feel better about your system, it says something about your system. This is not the way to go if you want progress.

[@mrswjr4061]

People in other countries like to point to Taiwan for their success with the coronavirus pandemic and I love how there was not one person “mask shaming” anyone for not wearing a mask. The people of Taiwan are too cool for that nonsense.

[@neilog747]

They were wearing masks when close to others, so there was no need to call it out. Once you are mask shaming, its because people are dying.

Hey Simon, FYI most museums in the world are closed on Monday in order to give people access on weekends and give staff rest on weekdays.

[@bradaltemeyer4472]

There is a really nice park and sculpture area just to one side of the National Palace Museum, (it is possible to walk down from just to the right as you exit the museum but it is a narrow path (my wife had her doubts when I led her down that path in 2010), but there is also an entrance from the street. Lots of sculpture and lotus flowers various places to sit. One of my favorite areas around Taipei. From that part of town you are also close to Shr Lin, (lots of food and shopping) and not too far from the square tube cement modern museum too (even though it has some structural issues it is still open) *but as you said, it's Monday,,, Museums are closed. Very nice Pineapple cake, on one of our previous trips we stayed out near the Hong Shu Lin stop on the Red Line (almost final stop) the one stop closer to Taipei is also famous for Pineapple Cakes, but I am not sure if we bought a different brand or not. Very good cakes regardless, (and a nice gift too)

The "average Chinese guy" does not live in uber -wealthy Singapore (which still has legacy institutions/ structures of semi-freedom remaining from its British days) with government officials (i.e., CCP party bigwigs) for parents. Average Chinese certainly are not allowed to have KZbin channels in the West ( as it is illegal for non-state-approved entities) where they are perennially on vacation.

台灣沒有上海繁榮有錢，沒有中國一線城市那麼多的機會，我們有很多缺點，國力絕對比不上中美日這種大國家，但是中國泱泱大國，為什麼需要靠著比較台灣這個小國的優缺點來證明自己呢？ 各自好好的過，兄友弟恭不好嗎？ 硬是要天天派戰機來台灣門口威脅，不覺得21世紀的中國政府，用18世紀的手法在解決事情很幼稚不成熟嗎？

沒錯，每次我都幫大陸發聲，但你說的沒錯，臺灣政府很爛時，我們都會發聲對嗆，政府做得好時我們也會與有榮焉。近幾年臺灣的許多產品品質較好，是因為將心比心⋯⋯要做到自己滿意、適用，才能讓別人安心。但如果工廠製作不如預期時，決不能認定自己OK時就是“得過且過”。政府也一樣，人民滿意時要為執政者拍拍手，不滿意時得儘快告訴他們人民的心聲！
