"East Loop" threw me for a loop too. I was wondering whether anyone would mention that exact thing. I don't think the author was even sure of their use of it, as they pivoted to "Central Loop", which was also a lit

This is more of what I'm talking about. It's evident you've never talked with a Taiwanese. The younger generations of Taiwanese don't oppose the idea of reunification because they don't like China, due to this ide

The idea of reunification is less popular than it's ever been in Taiwan since Taiwan's Nation Chengchi University started polling in the late 1990s. What you don't seem to understand is that unification is most supported amon
