Taiwan is not only subsidized by the US as a bulwark against China, but saying there's no need to compromise on human rights is a fucking joke.
Taiwan is a militantly far-right dangerous country which has colluded and collaborated with cruel dictatorships as much as Israel or the US itself.
Look up Fu Hsing Kang college or the World Anti-Communist League, for example. They have zero moral standing of any kind.
For more modern examples, the last few remaining Latin American countries with ties to Taiwan only do so because Taiwan is handing over bags and bags of cash to ultra-conservative oligarchs and to the political elite, buying their compliance even at the expense of the general economy. This, coupled with the fact that the US is closing off all doors, means that average people lose out on a LOT of opportunities of both trade and development with China. And what is there to show off for it? Absolutely fucking nothing at all.
I love Taiwan. Don't you?
