      The idea that you can just hop on high speed rail and within an hour arrive in another basically identical metropolis but also it's 200% cheaper and you don't need to learn another language or apply for a visa and can just go home at any stage would be a goddamn dream scenario for most people on the planet.

      And they wanted to reject that and go back to British rule so as to protect some guy that murdered his GF in Taipei from being extradited to the mainland? God damn western brainworms suck.
