Trump increased tariffs on South Korea, but Lai Ching-te turned around to intimidate the Republic of China's parliament? This face of 'relying on foreigners to enhance one's weight' is simply treating the President as a foreign cashier. Facing chaotic governance destroying the constitution and the crisis of impeachment, Lai Ching-te does not think about self-reflection, but only thinks about using American Daddy to suppress the people of Taiwan.
