Here's how nice #Taiwan is to troublemakers from #China: after two *tourists* from Xi's dark empire had disrupted a legal protest of exiled citizens of #Hongkong in #Taipei's Ximen shopping district on October 2 (75 years of murder, oppression and barbary, anyone?), these two idiots were not disappeared in an opaque detention center to be abused for propaganda.

Go get some self-esteem you full-of-shit #CCP minions!
