It's a complex system of layers of representatives being elected on the local level, various institutions and levels of governance that you know literally nothing about and yet has been incredibly successful at uplifting it's people. In the simple mind of the western chauvinist this rich five thousand year old culture and complex society with good and bad, gets flattened into antagonistic slogans like "single party autocracy".

You don't understand how calling you a victim of propaganda is me being charitable, I could've also called you a typical western ignorant sinophobe.

Ah yes, the old - it’s too complex to understand by outsiders argument. And claims of racism to boot.

Taiwan is Chinese, they don’t have this system. So spare me the crocodile tears.

Single party rule and state controlled media with one of the most sophisticated censorship infrastructure in the world has exactly one simple goal.
