Price controls are successful until they aren't. The US can subsidise an egregious amount of bad policies for a very long time I suspect, from agriculture to health, it's not really going to hurt as there are other parts of the di

Genetics of the Taiwanese people is an absurdly spurious defense in this debate, I'd ask you to provide any sort of proof to your original claim that 'Taiwan does NOT want to “reunite” with the mainland.' If you look at their
