I'm actually not surprised this kind of language is used by a Taiwan politician. It is also not the first time I have heard someone use sentimental explanations in place of other analogy such as that China is like an unwanted suitor. Most people struggle to grasp realpolitik, game theory, and the power dynamics behind global or even regional geopolitics, so they use poor real-life analogies or sentiment-based reasons that they can better understand like examples from interpersonal relations. These analogies of course make no sense and don't at all match the real power dynamics at play.Taiwan KMT vice chair: Not afraid about Xi catches Lai, following the example of what Trump did to Maduro, cause he believes Xi has feelings for Taiwan.
Genuinely what was UAE's plan? Attack the Saudi backed forces and lose? UAE is the dumbest country ever that does nothing but to sow chaos.
Maybe Mao right this whole time.
The Rich people during ROC era were literal parasites as they basically were the middle men for foreigners sucking money out of the country. Anyone who says that China was better under KMT rule literally forget that the wealth was concentrated on the coastal areas mainly the concessions where it was literally an aparthied state runned by foreigners.

UAE backed STC was winning a couple weeks ago. I thought the Saudi intervention was an attempt to keep the PLC alive since I didn’t pay it any attention. But the PLC launched a counter attack with the imminent total defeat of STC. The STC Capital was reportedly abandoned by STC troops fleeing the area before the PLC forces arrive. Now the UAE is facing a crushing defeat.
Red is the PLC, Yellow is the STC, and Green are the Houthis.
Who are the blue guys and why is no one messing with them? Also, who supports the Houthis and why are the red and yellow groups seemingly unable or unwilling to take them on?UAE backed STC was winning a couple weeks ago.

Wait I missed the best one in that list:
Acetic acid - banned for potential use in the manufacturing of illicit drugs, and possibly also for making dumplings taste better than they have any right to be
(acetic acid is the active ingredient in vinegar that gives it the sour taste)
You see this? Banned

Red and Yellow are sparsely populated. It's like controlling the Gobi Desert - just empty and barren land.
What the Houthis control is where the vast majority of the Yemeni population lives - the de facto Yemen. They're supported by Iran.
Blue guys are the PLC, supported by Saudis. They are anti-Houthi.
The STC, that recently lost, are supported by UAE and Israel.
Currently, UAE + Israel are occupying the Yemeni island of Socotra which gives Israel a major foothold in the Arabian Sea.
