        Did they ask for a restoration of the KMT government or the Manchu dynasty? No, they just criticized the current existing government.

            I agree things like TikTok and Farmland are overblown issues that wouldn’t be an issue if congress wasn’t so impotent when it comes to legislating laws that benefit actual Americans over American corporations, but this article entirely ignores China’s excessively aggressive maritime policy, be it their overfishing or their increasing militarism in the South China Sea. That’s the stuff that starts wars, not tariffs and business bans.

        As an ideology, reactionism is a tradition in right-wing politics;[1] the reactionary stance opposes policies for the social transformation of society, whereas conservatives seek to preserve the socio-economic structure and order that exists in the present.[2] In popular usage, reactionary refers to a strong traditionalist conservative political perspective of a person opposed to social, political, and economic change.[3][4]
