Insulting DPP (democratic progressive party) leadership is now officially illegal in Taiwan. Taiwan can finally stop pretending they have political free speech.

Public insult is a criminal offense under Taiwan’s Criminal Code, unlike in many other democracies. Lin faces up to one year in prison or a fine of less than NT$9,000 (US$287) under Article 309 of Taiwan’s Criminal Code, CNA reported. The charges stem from remarks Lin made during a speech at a live-streamed rally outside DPP headquarters on July 20.

Taipei District Prosecutors Office investigators said Lin, then a serving lawmaker, repeatedly used obscene language in his speech, including swearing aimed directly at Lai five times.

      A Republic which the name of China, which claims Taiwan as part of it. Ergo, the RoC claims the island of Taiwan as part of China. Thank you for proving my point. You could have just agreed instead of making an ass out of yourself.

      Why don’t the most fanatic paladins of reddit island know so little about it?
