作为国家未来的栋梁，当国家正要面对内优外患的时候，这些莘莘学子，为何还要为了一己之欲，在这时候为国家添烦添乱呢？

卢秀燕 and 侯友谊 没有把话说死 + unlike 韩国瑜, they have at least managed a term as 市长. KMT only has 1 ticket though so some sort of 内斗 is inevitable I guess.

Will it be a 三角战 (DPP, TPP and KMT) or 多角战 (DPP, TPP, KMT + someone like 郭台铭) or 绿 vs 蓝白合? :scratchhead:

As long as there’s a “political party”, there is always 内斗. It’s the same, here, there and everywhere.

A 蓝白 在野大联盟 would be the best outcome for the Republic of China. I would love to see a 柯 / 侯 combined ticket.

Why is it not? It seems quite self-explanatory.

Chinese not so good (actually, ang moh not so good also).
I use Google translate.
It says 一己之欲, 添烦添乱 is \"one's own desire, add trouble and add chaos\".
Yah... pretty self-explanatory.

As the media in Taiwan comes in blue (close to extinction) and green flavour, when it comes to \"news\" about China on YouTube, first thing to check for is the ABOUT section:
《關鍵時刻》由東森電視事業股份有限公司製作，並於「東森新聞台」播送。

Must pay attention to the words in red. 東森 is a green company led by pro-DPP executives. Therefore, any \"news\" about China, whatever it is, is going to be negative and 99% wrong or exaggerated. Take it with a pinch of salt.

If you are interested in one man’s unbiased opinion on the “crisis”, here is one by Jerry - a British-Australian living in China:
