      It’s the pro-Independence democracy party.

      If that’s good or not is subjective. I personally think it’s good.

        Isn’t DPP pro status quo? Ideologically they’re pro-independence, but they’d never risk angering the PRC over it.

          Status quo = de facto independence. Is the current position of the ruling DPP.

          For me it’s more like KMT -> unification, TPP -> ???(Ko is purposefully vague about this) and DPP -> states quo but further distance from China
