Taiwan Tati Cultural and Educational Foundation

The time for international charades and word games is over. Despite the People’s Republic of China’s (PRC) claims that Taiwan is an inalienable part of its past, it is time for other nations to see Taiwan for what it is, namely a medium-sized, democratic nation.

Population-wise, Taiwan is larger than 75 percent of UN countries and its economy outshines most members’. Taiwan’s GDP, trade value and worth carry it above 80 percent of UN members, yet Taiwan is not a member of the UN. Why?

The consensus in Taiwan is that the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) is ill and, unlike KMT presidential candidate Hung Hsiu-chu (洪秀柱), most people do not need to isolate themselves for three days in order to gain that insight.

The KMT is suffering from innumerable ailments as it has been unable to adapt itself to this land. It is weak, incompetent, boastful, unstable and confused. The aged party is also suffering from dementia and nothing can be done about it, no matter how many temples are visited and how much incense and paper money is burned.
