Serious contender for top accidentally-misleading title for a HN story...

* Asian Boss - Not a boss; actually a YouTube channel.

* deep blue - not the chess engine, not the emotional state, not related to the US democratic party; nor to any of the films of this name; nor the songs of that name.

Boom - all credibility lost - it’s just a scam, another CCP shill. I actually watched this video the other day, and I remember this interviewee and I remember being surprised at how pro China the people of Taipei are. Clearly Asian Boss has served its CCP masters well because I was convinced this was real and not fake CCP propaganda.

I remember watching it and thinking the opposite. The article states that the guy was incredibly pro-KMT, which is about as anti-CCP as you can get. His perspective was interesting, but it is disappointing to find out he's a plant.

So why I wonder is this video coming up in our feeds?

Could it be because the CCP want westerners to hear the message of how people in Taiwan actually want to unify with China?

Yes I think so. The CCP know how to get things promoted on social media.

The KMT is not as anti-CCP as you can get, why do you say that?

> pro-KMT, which is about as anti-CCP as you can get

This isn't a binary issue. Historically, the KMT was the main opposition to the CCP, but both of these factions claim control over the mainland of China.

The DPP (the greens) are both anti-CCP and anti-KMT, since the DPP is pro-independence; China is China, while Taiwan is Taiwan, and neither is a part of the other.

Vox Pops, they're awful when the media use it, but at least the vox pop is supposed to highlight the story rather than set the story. Why anyone listens to it when some random youtube channel does is incomprehendable. Ask 1000 people a simple question and you'll get 10 crazy answers. Show 9 crazy answers and 1 normal question and claim 90% of people are crazy.

I dont know, asking people to point out a country they support bombing on a map never gets old.

Bonus points if its a presidential candidate.

I live in Taiwan. Very, very few people here are pro-PRC. Tons of Taiwanese people love China and culturally consider themselves Chinese (to be clear, not Chinese citizens.)

The vast majority of people disagree on if they should either give up and surrender to the PRC because they may launch missiles or invade once they have a non-laughing stock navy, avoid a bloody war, or if China wouldn’t dare to do that because it would trigger WW3 so they are safe to declare and protect their country (Taiwan.)

Everyone out here agrees that the PRC is basically evil.

Edit: Just want to add that a lot of you probably have no idea that Chinese people and Taiwanese people also get along with each other just fine. They are unfortunately a geopolitical chess piece on the table between the PRC and Deep State US.

I find it deliciously ironic that when Taiwanese people travel or work in China that they use their ROC (Taiwanese) passport and there is no issue with that. A lot of the conflict is also theatre for your American news cycle.

I didn’t interpret what that guy said in the same way you did.
