I’m sticking with how people live their lives instead of how the CPC’s ideology wants things to be.

People living in Taiwan are by and large happy with the status quo. Why are you trying to project your ideas on them? They don't want independence, they want things to remain as they are. Why are you so insistent you know better than them?

How’s the housing market?

Considering 90% of people own their homes and Chinese cities never show up in most expensive cities in the world, it seems to be going great.

And the aging population?

As if that's not a problem anywhere. Didn't stop the US from becoming and being the richest and most powerful country for a long time.
