Totally agree. I always bring up this on those discussion, you may had seen this on BART. Imaging if rich NIMBYs who complaint about it interfere with them sailing their boats on weekends didn’t stop this, and we have all those land to build affordable housing on?
People can judge for themselve by listen to him speak Mandarin.
It’s not about them helping Taiwan for Taiwanese sake. It’s that there will be opportunity for them to help themselves while Taiwan tied down a significant portion of PLA.
