News: A debate has erupted in Taiwan over agricultural exports. After a local official faced backlash for promoting fruit to China, ruling party (DPP) lawmakers suggested redirecting exports to Michelin-starred restaurants in France instead.
However, critics hit back with data showing a massive scale gap: France absorbs roughly 150 tons of Taiwanese produce annually, whereas exports to China previously peaked at 50,000 tons—a 330-fold difference.
My opinion: We have these fucking lawmakers who can’t even do basic goddamn math, getting elected purely off hate-China votes. This is the pathetic reality of Taiwan right now - a bunch of anti-China zealots running around witch-hunting everyone and completely ignoring cold, hard data. The moment you have any normal interaction with mainland China, if you're not part of their cult, they will absolutely tear you to fucking pieces.
