The slow death of Taiwan...

The slippery slope...
 
It seems the people of Taiwan - as with most countries - favour economic prosperity over values and dignity.
The Kuomintang, Chinas new best friend, have done rather well in the local elections, seemingly gaining the approval of its people.
 
And while new deals with China which are to be announced soon may build Taiwan's dodgy economy back up, they are risking an awful lot for it.
 
Beijing will be watching closely on it's haunches, holding it's position... waiting to pounce...
 
The Kuomintang celebrates its victory in the Taipei constituency
