Taiwan President: Autocracy 'real evil' after China threatens sanctions for separatists | ANC

Soundbytes: Democracy is not a crime and autocracy is the real "evil," Taiwan President Lai Ching-te said on Monday (June 24) after China threatened to impose the death penalty in extreme cases for "diehard" Taiwan independence separatists. China, which views Taiwan as its own territory, has made no secret of its dislike of Lai, who took office last month, saying he is a "separatist," and staged war games shortly after his inauguration. On Friday (June 21), China ramped up its pressure on Taiwan by issuing new legal guidelines to punish those it says support the island's formal independence, though Chinese courts have no jurisdiction on the democratically governed island.

China consumes more food than it produces. It has a very small amount of farmland. The West Philippine Sea has 12% of the all fish harvested worldwide. The CCP is afraid of their populace facing starvation because all revolutions start when people are hungry and that last over 40 years of corruption where china regained its power Sure that's good from the outside but from the inside.💀

Also on West Philippines Sea where china's started it's claim in 2012 after propaganda claims they existed back over 1946 but that's where Philippines gained an independents! and the world doesn't recognize it's claim😂
