I guess I was right in being suspicious of western urbanists who were always deafeningly silent on massive projects in China but won’t shut up for weeks about the Dutch king taking a bike-shaped shit. This is how they respond when they are forcibly confronted with the topic.

    I also think OP shouldn’t have drawn a comparison between Taiwan and (the rest of) China. For one, Taiwan also has high-speed rail and a good metro system in Taipei, and two the size difference is huge, Taiwan would never come close in terms of quantity lol. Plus they opened themselved up to dismissals because “muh freedoms”

    Edit: apparently the original post is about cars in Taiwan with darkened windshields.

    I agree, even pre-edit. Even if the post was originally about Taiwan I think it was a deliberately inflammatory approach, there really wasn’t a need to bring up sovereignty there and it was 100% going to ensure people were not receptive. Gotta identify the right time
