Taiwan and Nazi Germany

The polemics in Taiwan can sometimes be a source of comic relief, such as the brawls and fist-fights in the legislative chamber.

But it can also be a source for concern, such as when supporters of the Taiwan administration accuse opposition politicians who travel to China "of conspiring with the enemy to weaken the Chen government's program" and compare them to "European leaders who collaborated with Nazi Germany in the 1930s."

As a scholar put it, in the current climate of deep division about how to cope with China, each side suspects the other's motives and each group believes the other to be traitors.
