Taiwan is politically complicated. Taiwan has to play a balancing act where China believes that will Taiwan will willingly rejoin the mainland, while still acting as 'the true China'. If mainland China believes that it will eventually be resolved diplomatically, they won't resort to violence. This is complicated with the election of the anti-Chinese president in Taiwan who will push harder against China, upsetting that balance. My guess is that his statements are done to ease Chinese concerns, and/or signal to Taiwan to not antagonize the Chinese.

I don't what exactly it is about this comic, but it brings me joy every time I see it.

Give the episode, 'The Non-Nazi Bastards That Helped Hitler' by Behind The Bastards a listen. It's scary how familiar this all is.

I 100% agree that education alone will not resolve the issue, but I believe education can help the efficacy of other approaches.

DARE is known as a bad program, because it goes for fear mongering rather actual education. Everyone knows someone who uses marijuana, and they're teeth haven't all fallen out and they're haven't turned into a psychotic murderer. [VOX - Why anti-drug campaigns like DARE fail

There are good and bad ways to go about education. Like comprehensive sex education vs abstinence only, even though they're covering the same topic, actual education is much more effective than just say no. [NLM Abstinence-only and comprehensive sex education study

I remember playing the first two and loving them. When the third came out, I heard it wasn't even good, so I never played.
