Why is it that the KMT is closer to the CPC than the liberals? Has the KMT transformed into a more general conservative and less outright fascist party? At least on the topic of reunification the liberals seem multiple times more bloodthirsty.
Why is it that the KMT is closer to the CPC than the liberals?
Most likely because of the shared identity as being ethnically Chinese, the whole 1992 consensus which acted as the basis for cross strait talks was essentially “we are one China, but with two different interpretations (PRC and ROC)”. The KMT is still a tool of the US, but their older members aren’t completely suckers for the imperial Japanese as the DPP.
The DPP at its core pushes for separatism while being 100% pro Japanese and pro western, seeing themselves as superior ethnically/racially to the mainland (similar to how many of the mentally colonised people in HK calling us locusts).
As far as both parties go, the DPP outwardly pushes for independence while the KMT muddies the waters by being de-facto independent while keeping up appearances.
