The Epooch times lost its credibility the moment it leaned far right actually started to adopt some of the far right conspiracy theories associated with anti-vaxing and other science based things to score points with the Trump administration. For a bunch of asians, it’s an embarrassment and insult of intelligence. That far right alignment will come to roost once the pendulum swings back and lands somewhere in the middle and end up hurting any sort of Taiwan independence movement It was a terrible strategic decision that’s going to come back and bite folks in the ass. And this is from someone who has been pro-Taiwan independence. Sorry, no other way to sugarcoat it.
