Shows how little you understand. KMT wants the status quo, TPP wants to engage China.

No and that's what annoys me about how people talk about Taiwan with no understanding of what's actually going on. Status quo is Taiwan and China are one, but Taiwan runs itself independently, just as Taiwan wants.
And when it came time to vote, that didn't happen. So yeah your pills are biased.
40% is not a majority.
I said they wanted status quo. Which we do. You people keep telling us it's about independence. It's not.
Psst, here's a secret, it wasn't important. The western media made it seem way more important than it was. If it was so important and war could have actually happened, then it would have already.
Well, look at the results. Only 40% voted for the DPP. 60% voted against the DPP. It's just the 2 more pro-China parties got their vote split. Not so in their congress which is now mostly KMT.
So if we take the popular vote, Taiwan voted for status quo, not Independence. China's noticed that and that's why they're not doing another blockade.
But that goes against your narrative so I'll bet you downvote me and ignore the actual votes that do not support your argument.
Now, I'm not saying that Bolivia won't get indebted to China, only that this actions is literally the opposite. When you agree to bilateral trade in another country's currency, you're actually going to be buying that countries debt. Look at how China is one of US's largest bond holders. The trade agreement means Bolivia will want a large reserve of Yuan which leads to Bolivia buying Chinese bonds.
That said, the next action will most likely be what you're talking about. Much like Egypt after signing a currency swap agreement, Bolivia will likely denominate future debt in Yuan, or what we've been calling Panda bonds. Since you can use Yuan now for trade, it makes sense to take out debt in Yuan to fund things.
An example of this not happening however is Argentina. After agreeing to a currency swap with China to trade in Yuan, Mieli got elected and promptly ended that. No indebtedness to China at all.
You can argue that this is an indicator that Bolivia intends to get indebted to China, but this action so far is the exact opposite.
There's 2 errors in your assessment. Otherwise, I pretty much agree.
- Their problem isn't inflation, but deflation. As their output is greater than their domestic and international consumption. This leads to lower profit margins. It's a huge problem, just not in the direction your implying.
- The brain drain is in the thousands per month leading to tens of thousands a year. It's not good, but no where as bad as your implying.
So, while yes I agree with you that China's economy is in bad shape. Those 2 data points are incorrect.
The weirder thing about that claim is if China is arming both sides, then how are they a puppet master? A puppet master chooses who wins and who loses to control the puppet. If they're not choosing a side, then they're letting the combatants decide for themselves. The exact opposite of a puppet master.
You could argue China is an agent of chaos as they're letting things play out however it will play out. But puppet master is hilariously wrong by even the most casual observation.
I almost completely agree with you. Except the last point. We'll blame who's ever in charge at the moment. Just like how Trump's legacy fucked up our current situation, but we'll blame Biden because he's at the helm. Imo American short sightedness is the root cause of all of this.
See, you don't know and try to force your narrative on others. And if we actual Taiwanese people tell you no, you mansplain it to us. This is why I hate people like you.
