For context: the DPP is the pro-indpendence ultranationalist party founded by local landed elites who collaborated with the Japanese empire during wwii. To this day many Taiwanese ultranationalists around the DPP deny Japanese atrocities such as Nanjing and Unit 731. This may not be the most reliable source, three pinocchios!

Anyone who says they support the DPP is openly saying they support fascists.

I don't support the DPP, but they are far from being fascists.

Not to defend the DPP, but I find the claim that some people deny the Rape of Nanking hard to believe.
