But despite this many of the positive links between #Taiwan and #Ukraine remain. And the memory of the twin revolutions lives on. Mariia Makarovych from the #LiberalDemocraticLeagueofUkraine was even invited to give a speech for the tenth anniversary of the #sunflowermovement

But not all similarities were positive ones. Johnny left for #Ukraine after many hard conversations with his family, who were all against The #sunflowermovement “My father always tells me how great #China is, he’s leaning to the red side,” he explained - ‘red’ meaning the #ccp

“The #SunflowerMovement was a trigger to me,” said #Taiwanese activist Johnny Wu. “It’s like a seed planted in my mind.” Johnny ended up traveling to #Ukraine and is one of the few people on earth to immerse himself, in some way, in both revolutions.

Ten years ago those in #Taiwan 's #Sunflowermovement and #Ukraines #Maidanrevolution were fighting the same fight...

... one for #democracy and true independence from #authoritarian neighbors.

Johnny, who took part in Taipei, later traveled to Ukraine to discover the similarities.

2/ While Hou tries to carve out a #Taiwan-focussed identity for himself by distancing himself from Ma's "better surrender to than being beaten by #China" talk, he's still on a ticket with deep-blue dinosaur #JawShawkong. The latter still backs Ma however, stressing the support he had from the #UnitedStates throughout his term.
Well, Ma and the #KMT lost support of the people of #Taiwan in the #SunflowerMovement. Maybe someone should remind Jaw of that "episode" of a maturing #democracy?

From selecting deep-blue dinosaur #JawShawkong as Hou's running mate to the attempts to relaunch #ECFA (what happened to the #SunflowerMovement anyway?) the entire campaign of the #KMT for January's #elections has a pungent smell of wannabe-kingmaker #MaYingjeou. I can't say I like any of it. #Taiwan

If you're wondering why the #KMT would install CCTV cams in the #LegislativeYuan back in 2014: Go search the internet for the #SunflowerMovement and #civilunrest in #Taiwan.

Yes: The KMT pooped its pants back in 2014 and installed those cameras based on fear of Taiwan's populace.

Sadly, the KMT still acts like an occupational force and a parasite. And it still tries to sell the debunked #1countryt2systems model to Taiwanese, despite #HongKong having been fucked over by #China in #public.
