@specter_affairs: Mass protests in Taiwan: hundreds of thousands rallied in Taipei demanding the resignation of the ruling US-backed DPP government of President Lai Ching-te. What began as a food safety scandal over contaminated "toxic" cooking oil is becoming what some call the biggest existential crisis yet for Taiwan's DPP. The Specter was on the ground in Taipei, talking to protesters who made clear the discontent goes far beyond the current crisis. "The DPP deliberately creates division, glorifies Japanese colonization, vilifies mainland China, and denies their own ancestry," one protester told The Specter. About 60% of respondents in Taiwan support the protests, organized by the KMT opposition, according to the latest polls. #Taiwan
