What's behind Tsai's facade of Taiwan democracy?
19:36

The West may consider Taiwan the watchdog of democracy in China, but to the people from the region, it is a facade. It hides the clampdown on the opposition and media by the island's authoritarian leader Tsai Ing-wen. Joanna Lei, a former legislator based in Taipei, and Teng Jianqun, researcher at the China Institute of International Studies, talk about Nancy Pelosi's controversial visit. The conclusion: Pelosi is an old China baiter who was taken in by Taiwan's democratic facade. In reality, the U.S. has turned "a blind eye" to people's oppression and suffering in Taiwan.
