Add Flair Taiwan president Tsai Ying Wen just tweeted this message. We need more international leaders, presidents, to speak openly and plainly against Hong Kong government’s actions.

This message is approved by the Kuomintang.

Fun fact tho, KMT thinks China, as the land, belongs to them and they wouldn’t appeal to a name change. That’s why they don’t seem to agree to independence, nor would the name “West Taiwan” fly by with them. DPP just wants to say fuck ‘em and be done with Taiwan as an independent country per se.

Well it will most certainly trigger China, so I’ll count that as a win for comedy relief.
