I completely agree. A decade ago, Taiwanese society was very polarized. You could see it in the use of flags. At rallies, you would see either the flag of the Republic of China or a pro-Taiwan independence flag, like the whale flag, but never both. They were in completely separate camps. But now, just this April at a rally, we saw both of these flags flying together in the same venue. That would have been unimaginable a decade ago. And as you said, they fly together because both sides are united against authoritarian encroachment on our freedom.
