A detailed update of Taiwan's great recall campaign (大罷免) by Frozen Garlic. It's the first time Taiwan has had such a large recall campaign so it could produce some interesting results

"In short, I don’t think it is impossible that the DPP could find itself with a majority in the legislature in November."

J. Michael Cole's missive on Taiwan's political turmoil. Civil society is united in its fight against a disloyal opposition

"...most Taiwanese, whether they vote blue or green (or white), are united in the values, mores, and political freedoms that buttress their country — Taiwan or the Republic of China — and how this distinguishes their society from the People’s Republic of China."

J. Michael Cole’s Substack · Taiwan in Stormy WatersBy J. Michael Cole

Everybody in Taiwan condemns a KMT member's use of Nazi imagery except the KMT!

"The values of Taiwanese are freedom, democracy and human rights. The KMT is completely unable to represent today’s society. We must strongly condemn the KMT’s indulgence in Nazi worship." - Wu Pei-yi, DPP legislator

Yup: there really are way too many scumbags in the ranks of #Taiwan's #KMT.

Sung Chien-liang (宋建樑), the leader of a Kuomintang-backed campaign to recall a #DPP lawmaker, was wearing a Nazi armband and carrying a copy of Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf when he repeatedly gave a Nazi salute in front of reporters outside the prosecutors' office on Tuesday.
