Taiwan 🇹🇼 is mulling a tectonic shift to its Constitution. My friend Larry Lindsey posits “There is now a good deal of support to change the distinction between Taiwan and the mainland to “our Nation” and “The People’s Republic of China.” #TaiwanisNOTchina #Taiwan #china
The original KMT constitution also required that amendments go through the legislative process, which at the time was KMT controlled. But Section 136 stated: “The exercise of the rights of initiative and referendum shall be prescribed by law.” LOOKS LIKE A REFERENDUM COULD
change everything. President Tsai and her people just watched the end of the “one country, two systems” horror movie in HK. Those using political game theory don’t have to think too many layers into the game to draw conclusions going into November. #staytuned
