China Post: “What Taiwan’s Government Really Needs Is Less Transparency”

Taiwan’s China Post argues that the only point of democracy is to give people the illusion of having control over their own lives.

But all REAL decisions must be made in smoky backrooms by shadowy figures who are unelected and unaccountable.

(Did 500,000 Taiwanese students protest in favor of MORE or LESS governmental transparency last year? Follow the link to find out!)

UPDATE (Oct 1 / 2015): What’s truly ironic is that the China Post continues to push a policy which is responsible for the KMT’s current abysmal showing in the polls.

It’s as if they’ve learned absolutely nothing this past year-and-a-half.

UPDATE (Oct 16 / 2015): The China Post bases its call for less governmental transparency upon Obama’s Iran deal, which it characterizes as “much-praised” and “presentable”.

If by “much-praised” the China Post means that 47% of the American public favor it while 49% disapprove, then yes, it is “much-praised”.

(But then, given those polling numbers, it would be more accurate to describe it as being “much-condemned”.)

And of course, 69% of Israelis condemn it as well…

UPDATE #3: Whoops! Barack Obama’s Iran deal violates U.S. federal laws.

So sorry. Didn’t you know laws are only for the little people?

UPDATE #4: Shazam! Iran tests ballistic missile in violation of UN sanctions.

Nice work, chump.
