And American sycophant of the Rich Paul Ryan has been practically living in Taiwan for some time now. Think Bannon in Poland and you’ll start understanding what Ryan has been up to in Taiwan. Pelosi has been to Taiwan as well. So what’s your point with claiming China is interfering? That China lacks imagination by doing the same thing as the US?:

How many assaults against their future can today’s youth tolerate?
