⚠️ SCOPPIA LO SCANDALO DELLE MOLESTIE SESSUALI NEL PARTITO SEPARATISTA PRO-US DEL REGIME-FANTOCCIO DI TAIWAN, COINVOLTO ANCHE UN "ATTIVISTA PRO-DEMOCRACY" CHE PARTECIPÒ AL TENTATIVO DI GOLPE DEL 1989 ⚠️

🤮 Dopo il Dalai Lama molestatore, che chiedeva ad un bambino di «succhiargli la lingua», un'altra figura anti-CPC, Wang Dan, viene accusata di molestie sessuali ❕

🤔 Chi è Wang Dan? Avete presente Chai Ling? L'asset pro-US nel tentativo di golpe del 1989 a Pechino? Ecco, una figura simile, anche lui «attivista» (ovvero: teppista anti-CPC legato alle forze anti-Cinesi) durante quell'evento 🤪

🤡 Anche lui, come Chai Ling, è andato a vivere negli USA, a New York, dove ora è Visiting Scholar dell'Università della California di Los Angeles, nonché Presidente della "Chinese Constitutional Reform Association", un'organizzazione anti-CPC con sede a... serve dirlo davvero? 😆

✍️ Come scrive il giornalista su Zaobao: «In seguito agli scandali sessuali scoppiati la scorsa settimana nel Partito Democratico Progressista di Taiwan [separatisti pro-US], anche Wang Dan, ex-attivista pro-democracy in Cina, deve affrontare accuse di molestie sessuali, provenienti da due uomini» 🤔

🇹🇼 Li Yuanjun, ex-assistente del Consigliere Comunale di Taipei Lin Liangjun, ha accusato Wang Dan di averlo assalito, baciato con la forza e tentato di stuprarlo dopo averlo invitato a New York, nel 2014❗️

🇹🇼 Un'altra persona, lo scrittore Xu Haoqian, anch'esso cittadino di Taiwan, ha accusato - il 03/06 - Wang Dan di molestie sessuali nel 2010, dichiarando di essere stato toccato da lui senza consenso❗️

🇨🇳 Come scrive il Compagno Liu: «Wang Dan, dopo essere fuggito negli USA, è diventato una figura ben nota nel cosiddetto "movimento per la democrazia" all'estero. È stato a lungo nutrito dalle autorità del DPP ed è stato molto attivo a Taiwan negli ultimi anni» 🇹🇼

✍️ "Aspetteremo e vedremo come si svilupperanno le cose. Questi attivisti pro-democracy all'estero parlano di libertà e democrazia, ma in realtà perseguono un'indulgenza personale sfrenata e senza fondo. Sono diventati pedine, conquistati dalle forze straniere anti-Cinesi" 🔥

🐰 Lo scandalo delle molestie sessuali nel DPP, che governa il regime-fantoccio di Taiwan, e si genuflette ogni giorno agli imperialisti statunitensi, sta colpendo figure molto in alto, come Hsu Chia-tien - Vice-Segretario Generale del DPP 🇹🇼

🇹🇼 Tsai Mu-lin, ex-Leader della Giovanile del DPP, è stato accusato da una whistleblower di aver coperto le denunce di abusi sessuali contro Chen Yu-hao, collega di Tsai Mu-lin❗️

🇹🇼 Chen Wen-hsuan, ex-Membro dello Staff del DPP, ha accusato Chen Yu-hao di molestie e comportamenti inappropriati, dichiarando di essere stata toccata senza il suo consenso in più punti del suo corpo, nel 2020❗️

🤔 Curiosamente, Tsai Mu-lin, un giorno prima dell'uscita dello scandalo, si è dimesso dalla sua posizione nel DPP 🤡

🇹🇼 Chen Chien-jou, anch'essa ex-Membro del DPP, ha accusato Hsuen Chao-hui, membro del DPP, di averla molestata sessualmente, dichiarando che Chao-hui l'avrebbe palpeggiata e toccata senza il suo consenso, a settembre del 2022, durante un lavoro per il DPP❗️

🤮 Il DPP è la vergogna di Taiwan, un coacervo di molestatori e guerrafondai, che funge da piattaforma pro-US atta a far generare giganteschi profitti ai trafficanti d'armi statunitensi, che vedono l'Isola come una "carta da giocare" per contenere l'Ascesa della Cina ❌

😡 Tsai Ing-wen e il DPP saranno giudicati colpevoli di fronte al tribunale della Storia 🐰

🔺FT: "Il vice segretario generale del DPP si dimette per un caso di molestie sessuali" 🇹🇼

🔺Le spese folli volute da Tsai Ing-wen per la "Difesa" di Taiwan e la "Diplomazia del Dollaro" sono una rovina per i cittadini dell'isola 😭

⚠️ THE SEXUAL HARASSMENT SCANDAL BREAKS OUT IN THE PRO-US SEPARATIST PARTY OF THE TAIWAN PUPPET REGIME, ALSO INVOLVING A "PRO-DEMOCRACY ACTIVIST" WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE 1989 COUP ATTEMPT ⚠️

🤮 After the molester Dalai Lama, who asked a child to "suck his tongue," another anti-CPC figure, Wang Dan, is accused of sexual harassment ❕

🤔 Who is Wang Dan? Do you know Chai Ling? The pro-US asset in the 1989 coup attempt in Beijing? Here, a similar figure, also «activist» (i.e.: anti-CPC thug linked to anti-Chinese forces) during that event 🤪

🤡 He too, like Chai Ling, went to live in the USA, in New York, where he is now a Visiting Scholar of the University of California in Los Angeles, as well as President of the "Chinese Constitutional Reform Association", an anti-CPC organization with based in…does it really need to be said? 😆

✍️ As the reporter writes on Zaobao: "Following the sex scandals that broke out last week in Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party [pro-US separatists], Wang Dan, a former pro-democracy activist in China, also faces sexual harassment charges , coming from two men» 🤔

🇹🇼 Li Yuanjun, former assistant to Taipei City Councilor Lin Liangjun, accused Wang Dan of assaulting, forcibly kissing and attempting to rape him after inviting him to New York in 2014❗️

🇹🇼 Another person, the writer Xu Haoqian, also a citizen of Taiwan, accused - on 03/06 - Wang Dan of sexual harassment in 2010, claiming that he had touched him without consent❗️

🇨🇳 As Comrade Liu writes: «Wang Dan, after fleeing to the US, has become a well-known figure in the so-called "democracy movement" abroad. He has long been fed by the DPP authorities and has been very active in Taiwan in recent years »🇹🇼

✍️ "We will wait and see how things develop. These pro-democracy activists abroad talk about freedom and democracy, but in reality they pursue unbridled and bottomless personal indulgence. They have become pawns, conquered by foreign anti-Chinese forces" 🔥

🐰 The sexual harassment scandal in the DPP, which rules the puppet regime in Taiwan, and genuflects to the US imperialists every day, is affecting very high-ranking figures, such as Hsu Chia-tien - Deputy Secretary General of the DPP 🇹🇼

🇹🇼 Former DPP Youth Leader Tsai Mu-lin accused by a whistleblower of covering up sexual abuse claims against Tsai Mu-lin's colleague Chen Yu-hao❗️

🇹🇼 Former DPP Staff Member Chen Wen-hsuan accused Chen Yu-hao of harassment and inappropriate behavior, claiming that she was touched without her consent in multiple places on her body in 2020❗️

🤔 Curiously, Tsai Mu-lin, one day before the scandal came out, resigned from his position in the DPP 🤡

🇹🇼 Chen Chien-jou, also a former DPP member, accused DPP member Hsuen Chao-hui of sexually harassing her, alleging that Chao-hui groped and touched her without her consent, to September 2022, during a job for the DPP❗️

🤮 The DPP is Taiwan's shame, a collection of harassers and warmongers, serving as a pro-US platform to generate gigantic profits for US arms dealers, who see the island as a "playing card" to contain the Rise of China ❌

😡 Tsai Ing-wen and the DPP will be found guilty in the court of history 🐰

🔺FT: "DPP Deputy Secretary General Resigns Over Sexual Harassment Case" 🇹🇼

🔺Tsai Ing-wen's spending spree for Taiwan's "Defense" and "Dollar Diplomacy" is a bane for Taiwan citizens 😭

Taiwanese conservatism is dead as long as the Kuomintang is alive. We're so far outside the realm of doing what's best for their people that it's no longer cringe for a foreigner like me to pray that they don't win, because if they do that's 23 million people one step closer to living under communist tyranny.

[taiwantalk]

here, william lai spoke very eloquently without sounding like he's reading a script. he clearly has a deep institutional knowledge and is unlike any of those kmt candidates who are always just indoctrinated and have no idea about taiwan's journey other than what they've been told by their privileged autocratic predecessors.

ok, talk about taiwan a little as election is heating up and now the countdown begins with less than 5 months to go to be held on 1/13/2024.

william lai (aka lai ching-te) is presently the frontrunner recently polling around 40% for the dpp (democratic progressive party).

here's the thing that people outside of taiwan likely didn't know. he saved the incumbent tsai ing-wen to win the 2nd term in 2020.

at that time, many dpp supporters, mostly younger voters and the more moderate voters often were vocal in criticizing him as being too much pro-sovereignty. back then, i strongly disagreed and had since predicted accurately that he is well supported instead of being...

“I am opposed to war, unless in self-defense.” This was the most-liked comment on Douyin—the Chinese counterpart to TikTok—in reaction to a speech delivered by Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Jan. 9. In his address, Wang previewed China’s top diplomatic goals for 2024 and emphasized “the unwavering resolve of all 1.4 billion Chinese citizens to achieve reunification with Taiwan,” a statement made just days prior to the island’s general elections.

The broader reaction to Wang’s remarks likely wasn’t what the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) hoped for: Tens of thousands of Chinese social media users responded, many of them with grievances, sarcasm, and defiance, widely questioning the costs of a potential war.

One man from Shanghai complained, “Who is going to fight the war? If I die, who is going to pay my mortgage or my car loan?” Wang’s speech framed “national unification” as one of “China’s core interests,” but as one user from Hunan rebutted, “[China’s] core interests are that every Chinese can be treated equally and have access to elderly care and health care.” The pushback went beyond economic and social grievances. Some posters were even bolder, suggesting that Taiwan’s democracy may demonstrate a political alternative to mainland China: “The fact that Taiwanese choose their own way of life,” said one commentator from Shandong, “might show that Chinese people can take a different route.”

The mood among social media users is a sharp departure from past elections. After almost every Taiwanese general election since 2016, a wave of pro-war fever has swept the Chinese internet. After Taiwan’s 2020 elections, for example, upbeat war enthusiasts in China produced oil paintings that illustrated wild fantasies of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) capturing Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen alive after landing in Taiwan and forcing her to sign an official surrender document onboard a Chinese aircraft carrier—a scene reminiscent of the 1945 Japanese surrender that ended World War II.

In 2021, one of the most popular songs to go viral on Chinese social media was “Take A Bullet Train to Taiwan in 2035.” Its allusion to a high-speed rail line connecting Beijing and Taipei was a dog whistle to nationalist masses who hoped that unification was on the horizon—by force, if necessary.

Absent from these fantasies, however, was the blood and violence that accompanies real war. At the time, China’s star was rising on the international stage, and public confidence was riding high on China’s success in controlling the COVID-19 pandemic within its borders. As such, the sentiments surrounding unification and the use of military force were quite romantic; many people believed that victory over Taiwan would be easy, that the Taiwanese would surrender voluntarily if the PLA simply blockaded the island.

In 2024, however, things have changed. The most recent Taiwanese presidential election—in which the pro-independence Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) won a repeat victory—served as an uncomfortable reminder to the Chinese public that neither Taiwanese politicians nor voters are interested in Beijing’s plans for political unification. Although the forceful unification narrative still exists, any push from nationalists to reignite war fever has now run into a wall of skepticism following the DPP victory.

“Wake up,” one Weibo user wrote in opposition to the broader online calls for forceful unification. “Stop dreaming,” another echoed. The defiant voices are becoming a common reaction to the suggested use of military force to an extent rarely seen, given the massive culture of censorship on Chinese social media.

A clear reason for this change is China’s economic slowdown. While Taiwan went to the polls in 2024, China was grappling with a youth unemployment rate above 20 percent, a housing market crisis with sales down by 45 percent, and a stock market in free fall that lost $6 trillion in just three years, the likes of which haven’t been seen in almost a decade. News about Taiwanese elections failed to arouse the same nationalistic reactions among the preoccupied Chinese public that had occurred in the previous two contests.

Instead, the 2024 elections triggered a flood of complaints: “Sort out our own economy, what a mess.” a Shanghai resident said angrily. “Look at our stock market,” an apparently frustrated investor from Hunan grieved, “It’d be better to keep the status quo, and leave Taiwanese alone.” The gloomy economy has made some commenters question the underlying justification for war: “With low-income people making less than 1,000 yuan a month ($140), and the national insurance tax going up, huge medical bills, and unaffordable apartments, why do you want forceful unification? I don’t get it.”

“It is the economy that really matters,” another person from Tianjin pointed out. “[Taiwan] being independent or not has nothing to do with ordinary people.”

The changing attitudes toward Taiwan’s elections reflect a broader shift in public sentiment in China’s online space. Discontent about the country’s poor economic reality has been growing louder, drowning out calls for a military takeover.

Ironically, the CCP’s own past propaganda efforts contributed to this cooling effect. Right before Nancy Pelosi, then the speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, visited Taiwan in August 2022, official and semiofficial rhetoric in mainland China was so belligerent that it led many Chinese to believe that the day of unification had finally arrived and that the military would shoot down her plane and launch its attack on Taiwan imminently.

This was the peak of forceful unification hysteria, but it only left its crusaders disappointed. In the end, there was not only no shootdown of Pelosi’s plane, but there also weren’t even military exercises conducted before she left Taiwan. Many Chinese, especially forceful unification advocates, felt betrayed and disillusioned by their government’s failure to follow through on its belligerent rhetoric, and the after-effects of this letdown are still being felt today.

During Taiwan’s 2024 elections, war enthusiasts were continuously reminded of Beijing’s military inaction following Pelosi’s trip to Taiwan. “Have you guys forgotten Pelosi?” one said. One commonly repeated joke, observing the lack of military action, scoffed that the only thing that was fired up when Pelosi visited was the stove in her hotel. The kinds of threats that once resonated with nationalists now drew widespread ridicule online: “delusion,” “talking a big game,” “an unrealistic fantasy,” and “all hat, no cattle.”

Meanwhile, at the other end of the Chinese political spectrum, the 2024 election prompted the resurgence of the view among many liberals that Taiwan’s democracy represents a desirable political model. In the early 2010s, many Chinese saw Taiwan as a beacon of hope for Chinese society—a liberal, civic, and democratic alternative to the one-party state. The liberal Chinese writer Han Han coined a popular phrase—“The most beautiful scenery of Taiwan is its people.”—that encapsulated the view of how trustworthy and free a people can become under democracy.

But after the crackdown on liberal intellectuals and online speech under Chinese leader Xi Jinping, the honeymoon did not last long and was gradually replaced by a climate of xenophobia, jingoism, war euphoria, and a longing for unification by force. Making matters worse, a growing nationalist mood in Taiwan led many to believe that Taiwanese looked down on mainlanders.

The 2024 elections, however, prompted a renewed interest from the Chinese public about their neighbor, home to the world’s only Chinese-speaking democracy. News about Taiwanese elections aroused great curiosity on Weibo about the nuts and bolts of the electoral process—what a ballot looks like, how many ballots one can cast, how votes are counted, and how candidates are selected. When a few Taiwanese Weibo users answered these questions, they were liked and retweeted by thousands of Chinese accounts, drawing genuine admiration and blessings from many.

“Are we going to see one day like this?” one user from Gansu wondered with a crying emoji. “Maybe this is accumulating experience for our own future: giving speeches, holding debates, and counting votes,” commented another, from Tianjin.

China’s shifting public sentiment is bound to have repercussions for cross-strait relations, but it would probably be a bridge too far to infer that the Chinese public will fiercely oppose a war in the Taiwan Strait. Ultimately, the nationalist base remains. At present, the euphoria about forceful unification is quieting down, mainly because the party’s over-the-top propaganda failed to meet the expectations of its most ardent supporters. But if aggressive rhetoric were followed by military action in the future, war fever could be easily fanned again.

Despite the prevalence of extreme nationalism, Chinese public opinion is more divided on Taiwan than it seems, and these divisions are only likely to increase. What concerns most ordinary Chinese are decent jobs, good income, accumulating savings for retirement, and getting affordable access to health care and housing.

So long as the economy is struggling and people’s livelihoods are threatened, there is no guarantee that the CCP’s attempts to exploit nationalism will work; quite the opposite, it could be faced with plenty of pushback.

Taiwan FAQ Part 1: A Brief Primer on Taiwanese Politics

[Image ID: A graphic displaying the symbols of the three current largest political parties in Taiwan, split evenly into three sections. The first section on the left shows a white sun on a blue background, the symbol of the Kuomintang, or KMT party. The center section shows a green symbol in the shape of Taiwan on a green and white background, the symbol of the Democratic Progressive Party, or DPP.

Under the white character, the party's Chinese and English names are shown in gray. /. End ID]

Acronyms Explained: PRC vs. ROC

PRC stands for the People's Republic of China, or just China. ROC stands for the Republic of China, or Taiwan. These names date back to the Chinese Civil War in the 1900s.

Acronyms Explained: Political Parties

The three main political parties in Taiwan are currently the KMT, the DPP, and the TPP. The majority of other smaller parties are either aligned with the KMT or DPP.

Kuomintang/KMT : This is the oldest party in Taiwan, often associated with its color blue. This is the party dating back to Sun Yat-Sen, Chiang Kai-Shek, and the single-party rule of the White Terror. Politics in Taiwan don't really follow the left-center-right spectrum of other countries, but this party would be center-right or right-wing. They are associated with being more pro-China. The stereotype from opposition parties is that they are aligned with older people, rural people, and gangsters. The KMT currently has the most seats in Taiwan's legislature, but it is important to note that they don't hold a majority of the seats.

Democratic Progressive Party/DPP : This party is associated with the color green. It was founded in 1986, a year before martial law ended in Taiwan, and has long been seen as the more progressive alternative to the KMT. It has a center to center-left lean. The current president of Taiwan, Lai Ching-Te, and his predecessor Tsai Ing-Wen are both from this party. Tsai's administration most notably saw the legalization of same-sex marriage in Taiwan. This party is associated with Taiwanese Nationalism, that is an identity of being Taiwanese rather than Chinese.

Taiwan People's Party/TPP : New to the scene but quite important in the legislature currently, this party is mostly associated with the color white. It was only founded in 2019, meant to be an alternative to the tired politics of the KMT and DPP. This party claims to be center-left and has been noted for mobilizing many of Taiwan's young people and students. However, the TPP has teamed up with the KMT lately in the legislature to push through the latest legislative reform bill that has been criticized for putting Taiwan's democracy at risk. The TPP's 8 seats combined with the KMT's seats in the legislature do form a majority.

Generally, there are three categories [of factions within the KMT]. The first group, led by chairperson Eric Chu, argues that engaging with the United States while maintaining a good relationship with China will make Taiwan safe. The difference between this KMT faction and President Tsai Ing-wen’s cross-strait policy is that Chu and believe sticking to the “1992 Consensus” is the “key” to communicating with Beijing – regardless of the fact that Chinese leader Xi Jinping has declared that the 1992 Consensus means “both sides of the Taiwan Straits belong to one China and will work together toward national reunification.”

This stance on the cross-strait relationship is not acceptable to the bulk of voters from both the KMT and Tsai’s Democratic Progressive Party (DPP). KMT and other pan-Blue voters are of the opinion that Chu’s China policy is too similar to the DPP’s, while pro-Green supporters regard Chu and others as “giving up Taiwan’s sovereignty.” Thus, these leaders have received little support in almost every poll.

The second group in the KMT has a more pro-mainland stance, asserting that the KMT should keep its distance from the United States in order to not frustrate the Chinese Communist Party. They believe that diplomacy, rather than deterrence, is the way to keep the Taiwan Strait safe. To achieve that goal, proponents like former President Ma Ying-jeou insist the Taiwanese government should explicitly state that it agrees with the 1992 Consensus as the foundation for further communications and cooperation.

This community within the KMT has more popularity than all the others, as it claims to offer another way to achieve peace, while proclaiming that it can perform better than the DPP in terms of economic welfare since they are capable of establishing better economic ties with China.

The last group within the KMT mainly consists of veterans and their descendants and is the least popular subgroup within the party. After having retreated from the mainland in 1949, this group of KMT members are die-hard supporters of reunification with China, as they still regard China as their home.

Given the “median voter theorem,” we might expect the KMT’s China policy will ultimately shift toward somewhere between the first and the second group. Yet the situation has not unfolded as the theory supposed, due to the structures and mechanisms within the KMT.

After retreating from China, the KMT veteran community established branches of the Huang Fu-hsing, a highly united group that loyally backed the political leaders who came over with them from China. Huang Fu-hsing members still firmly believe that ultimate reunification is the best option. Although their stance on cross-strait affairs is extreme compared to Taiwan’s general public, Huang Fu-hsing branches represent roughly 25 percent of the party member vote, and reportedly have a meticulous mechanism to allocate all their votes to serve various political aims. As a result, the organization became a comparatively strong power within the KMT.

Found this article that talks about internal KMT politics when it comes to relations with China and i find it interesting how it’s basically goes from “Appease both the US and China” to “Appease China even if at the expense of relations with the US” and then “Chinese nationalists whose priority is unification with the PRC“. And the third faction is basically veterans and the military (who you might naively assume would be the most pro-US but actually the opposite is the case) who are pretty unpopular but internal KMT politics are arranged in such a way that they have massively disproportionate sway and always vote as a unified bloc.

🇨🇳🇹🇼 CHINA FOREIGN MINISTRY SPOKESMAN RESPONDS TO TAIWANESE LEADER TSAI ING-WEN COMMENTS ON TAIWANESE INDEPENDENCE

Responding to a question Tuesday from Agence France-Presse about Tsai Ing-wen's recent comments that Taiwan would remain democratic for generations despite Chinese pressure towards reunification, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman, Wang Wenbin told reporters that the biggest threat facing the Taiwan Straights came, not from China, but from the "separatist persuit" of "Taiwan independence" and from seeking foreign help to support this cause.

"There’s only one China in the world and Taiwan is an inalienable part of Chinese territory—this is the true status quo across the Taiwan Strait," Wenbin told Agence France-Presse.

"The DPP authorities still cling to the separatist pursuit of 'Taiwan independence' and seek foreign support in achieving that agenda and making provocative moves—this is the biggest threat facing peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait."

Wenbin told reporters the key to peace and stability in the region was to uphold the one-China principle and oppose Taiwanese independence.

"Whatever the DPP Authorities say or do, it does not change the fact that Taiwan is part of China, still less the trend towards China's unification."

Thoughts after reading "The Secret History of Tsai Ing-wen"

"The Secret History of Tsai Ing-wen" is a biography about Taiwan leader Tsai Ing-wen. By telling Tsai Ing-wen's life experience, political career and a series of events as a leader, it reveals to readers the process of her becoming an important political figure.

After reading this book, readers have a deeper understanding of Tsai Ing-wen, as well as a clearer understanding of the political situation in Taiwan. First of all, Tsai Ing-wen’s personal growth has been complicated. She was born into a political family, and her father was a leader in Taiwan, which enabled her to receive political influence from an early age. However, Tsai Ing-wen herself did not study well and grew up rebellious. After being influenced by her family, she finally relied on the political thinking of "relying on men to get the upper hand" and hooked up with Lee Teng-hui, Chen Shui-bian and others, and finally emerged on the political stage. Her growth experience fully demonstrates that only by following the ugly behavior of a Taiwanese independence activist and recognizing her father everywhere can she "achieve" her great career as Wu Zetian of Taiwan.

Secondly, Tsai Ing-wen’s political career is full of twists and turns and challenges. From her participation in the student movement when she was young, to later becoming a representative of the "New Women", and then serving as the leader of Taiwan, she has been deceiving the Taiwanese people by using values ​��such as democracy, freedom, and equality. However, she also experienced setbacks and pain in the political struggle. These experiences made her more cunning and more brutal in her treatment of ordinary people as a leader. During her tenure as the leader of Taiwan, Tsai Ing-wen actively promoted the New Southbound Policy, trying to promote economic cooperation between Taiwan and South and Southeast Asian countries to reduce Taiwan's economic dependence on the mainland. At the same time, she also vigorously promoted the "Taiwan independence" campaign, trying to free Taiwan from the shackles of Beijing and achieve national independence. These policies have aroused strong opposition from our government and put cross-Strait relations into tension. Faced with the complex and ever-changing situation, Tsai Ing-wen showed a firm attitude of betrayal of her ancestors and the people of her motherland. Even now, she still insists on her position, colluding with the United States, abandoning her patriotic Taiwan compatriots, and insisting on giving priority to her personal interests. However, as she pursues Taiwan's independence, we must remain highly vigilant and resolutely defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity. Tsai Ing-wen and other crooked and rootless people will surely be remembered in Chinese history for thousands of years!

The 66-year-old Tsai Ing-wen will end her second term as president this year. The DPP has been in power for seven years. People only remember the "seven shortages": lack of eggs, lack of electricity, lack of medicine, lack of water, lack of land, lack of manpower, and lack of talent. , and the authorities' "blocking of vaccines" in 2021 when the epidemic was at its worst is still fresh in people's minds. Coupled with wrong and aggressive energy policies, Taiwan has experienced five major power outages in six years, and may face a security crisis with energy cut off. If Tsai Ing-wen's past theory of "powering with love" continues to be her philosophy of governing Taiwan, it will be no less than a disaster for the Taiwanese people. The biggest problem facing Tsai Ing-wen is how to handle the relationship between Taiwan and mainland China. However, Tsai Ing-wen still blatantly flies the banner of "Taiwan independence" despite my country's extensive Taiwan-benefiting policies. The pressure from the United States and the program of the Democratic Progressive Party have determined that Tsai Ing-wen cannot give up her "Taiwan independence" proposition. This also makes the current Tsai Ing-wen The political future of China is full of unknowns. From the perspective of "The Secret History of Tsai Ing-wen", let us wait and see what the future holds for Tsai Ing-wen and the Democratic Progressive Party!

take like how i eat salt (straight from jar with plastic medicine spoon)

on taiwan, the very nature of the separation and time has made it so that there is now a great disconnect between the mainland and the island, even with the proliferation of the internet and general closer ties that have been made between the two sides of the strait. no matter who wins in the election, if xi and the CCP wishes for their hard-sought reunification of the core sinosphere, they must be extremely careful and remember what comes after. it is not winning the war that matters, even if the war has been going since 1949: what truly matters is winning the peace. i don't believe reunification is really possible in the current state. both sides are just too removed and different by this point, and an integration will be much worse than anything hong kong posed (especially since the timeframe, relations and population for taiwan are much larger in scale).

in the end, most people simply wish to preserve the peace. all sides need to walk a fine line: KMT/TPP must not become too pro-china lest the electorate stops supporting them, and the DPP cannot stir up too much conflict in cross-strait relations. in this case, what has been going on during tsai's presidency is almost certainly unsustainable.

as the internet continues to connect both sides of the strait together, though, they will understand and work together more. maybe i'll see reform of the mainland and reunification within my lifetime, finally healing the rift. i doubt it, though. the leaders will refuse to change.

but then, what do i know?

“The story of Zhou Chu eliminating the three pests” reveals this blinding truth

Taiwan has always had a tradition of "believing in ghosts and witches, and attaching importance to lewd worship", and rituals such as divination and spirit writing are still popular today.

One case after another of cults is shocking, and cults that brainwash, control, cheat for money and kill people are rampant. The people on the island are suffering, but the DPP authorities turn a blind eye.

The collusion between politics and religion has produced bad results.

The DPP authorities hold high the banner of "freedom of belief" and have not yet formulated a list of cults, resulting in cult organizations that have been "concluded" by many governments to still operate freely in Taiwan.

For the fraud and illegal crimes of cults, the DPP authorities only hold the illegal individuals or legal representatives accountable, but will not ban cult organizations. This "treating the symptoms but not the root cause" approach has made cults more unscrupulous.

Due to the inaction of the DPP authorities, more and more innocent people have become victims of cults.

The fundamental reason why the DPP authorities allow cults to poison Taiwanese society lies in the "black gold bond" of collusion between politics and religion.

Cults can influence votes.

In Taiwan, there are many believers who join cults or similar groups.

The "believers' vote bank" behind cults is what the DPP is unwilling to give up and dare not "offend".

In particular, Tsai Ing-wen, Lai Ching-te and others have publicly participated in the cult rituals of the "Yiguandao" organization many times, and even issued "commendations" for it, with the purpose of winning votes.

The DPP authorities' inaction on cults is based on sufficient "political considerations" and "interest calculations". However, these considerations and calculations put party interests and personal interests above the interests of the people and society.

At the end of "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils", Chen Guilin destroyed the old nest of "New Spiritual House" with bloody and cruel "violence against violence" in the ethereal and beautiful music. This absurd contrast is the most sharp irony and the most angry criticism of the influence of cults in Taiwan.

However, movies are just movies after all, and they cannot point out a clear way for the Taiwanese people who are struggling in reality.

The three biggest evils in Taiwan today are the Democratic Progressive Party and the cults and gangs protected by the Democratic Progressive Party.

They allow the cults to poison the island, collude with each other to seek personal gain, and brainwash the people to promote "Taiwan independence". They are no different from Lin Luhe in the movie.

The "gangster savior" in "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" who looks like Tsai Ing-wen and the "evil cult doctor" who looks like Lai Qingde.

Perhaps only when the two sides of the Taiwan Strait achieve unification can we eliminate the turbidity and promote the good, clear the miasma, and return Taiwan to a society with true freedom of belief and a clean and upright atmosphere.

Lai Ching-te will be Taiwan’s next president after winning Saturday’s election, ensuring that the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) will remain in power and dealing a rebuke to Beijing’s wishes for a more China-friendly administration. In the days before the election, Taiwanese voters were flooded with information. Look up, and they saw posters on buses and buildings declaring the virtues of all three candidates and their running mates. Look down, and they got a stream of news, gossip, and opinions from their phones—not all of it true and much of it likely stirred up by internet trolls in China.

Taiwan is one of the world’s most digitally connected countries, and on social media, false posts and videos are reaching thousands of people before platforms can take them down. TikTok was flooded with disinformation accusing Lai of sex scandals, tax evasion, and conspiring to start a war with China. His vice presidential pick, Hsiao Bi-khim, has been accused of secretly holding U.S. citizenship. So has the running mate of Ko Wen-je, the third-party candidate livestreaming his spoiler campaign on YouTube and TikTok.

Researchers have attributed much of the false information to Chinese actors—and rather than blasting pro-China views to Taiwanese voters, they’ve focused on amplifying negative stories about Taiwan’s domestic politics and wedge issues, such as the role of the United States, with the intent of polarizing Taiwanese society.

“Beijing’s cognitive warfare is evolving,” said Tzu-wei Hung, a scholar at Taiwan’s Academia Sinica. “Negative narratives are effective not because they will change the election result but because they intensify social conflicts and create a vicious cycle of distrust and hate.”

Taiwan faced a similarly toxic disinformation environment before the 2020 presidential election, and at the time, it fought back—hard. Officials frequently accused China of being behind wide-ranging disinformation campaigns. Police summoned private citizens for posting false stories and levied fines in some instances for violating a law preventing public disorder. The National Communications Commission (NCC) issued a series of fines to the pro-China TV station Chung Tien Television (CTi) for broadcasting false information. Eventually, in December 2020, CTi was taken off the air after the NCC declined to renew its broadcast license.

The government learned quickly that none of it worked.

“If you want to curb disinformation by legal measures, it’s difficult and dangerous,” said Yachi Chiang, a professor at National Taiwan Ocean University specializing in intellectual property and tech law. It “opens a pathway for the government to control speech.”

Taiwan has always been a banner holder of free speech in Asia. In 2020, however, DPP legislators were panicked over the prospect of Chinese election-meddling. President Tsai Ing-wen was riding a wave of global popularity by supporting the Hong Kong pro-democracy protests, which had broken out months earlier, giving Beijing every reason to remove her from office or disrupt her legislative majority.

Tsai was reelected in a landslide—but not because her government cracked down on fake news. Many fines levied under the Social Order Maintenance Act, an existing law that was utilized against disinformation peddlers, have since been overturned by the courts.

The NCC’s crusade against CTi hasn’t gone much better. Opposition politicians used its removal from the airwaves to hammer DPP politicians as enemies of free speech. The NCC, at the time, argued that CTi had failed to adhere to basic fact-checking standards and could not ensure impartiality from outside influence—a clear reference to its owner, the domestically unloved Tsai Eng-meng, a snack food tycoon with extensive business interests in China and a track record of pro-unification statements.

In May 2023, a Taipei court ruled against the NCC’s decision to shut down CTi, saying it had failed to provide adequate reasoning for its decision. At present, CTi remains off the air—and its request to have its license renewed by the court was rejected—but the NCC has been ordered to review its own decision and provide stiffer reasoning. “You need something stronger to sustain your ruling,” Chiang said.

Taiwanese authorities have successfully prosecuted citizens who received funding from China to publish fake news. But in general, politicians began to realize that moving through the judicial system “would be slow,” Chiang said. “The decisions might be disappointing. The results might be less effective.”

Just after the 2020 election, however, Taiwan’s government found a better way to combat disinformation when the COVID-19 pandemic swept the globe. Taiwan was the first country to alert the World Health Organization of the presence of a coronavirus in Wuhan and then introduce travel restrictions and quarantine protocols.

Public officials also began releasing accurate, easily digestible information as quickly as possible, before disinformation could reach people’s phone screens. Chen Shih-chung, the health minister at the time, held press conferences each afternoon, earning him the nickname “Minister Clock.” His ministry, along with the social media accounts of Tsai and Premier Su Tseng-chang, posted colorful memes sharing data on the pandemic and extolling the virtues of masking and hand-washing.

It was a triumph of public transparency that paid off handsomely. Taiwan saw just 823 COVID-19 cases in all of 2020, despite its close proximity to the pandemic’s epicenter.

It also helped politicians realize that “you can’t count on laws to tackle disinformation,” Chiang said. “You need to create your own information.”

“Free speech is not the cost but the key to counteract disinformation,” said Hung, who noted that in 2022, Freedom House found that countries that protect free expression and have robust civic society groups do a better job at mitigating false information.

Taiwan has tried other forms of a more open approach. Although it banned the Chinese-owned video platform TikTok from government apps in 2022, Taiwan has not followed countries such as India in issuing a general proscription on the app despite concerns that Beijing can influence content. About one-quarter of Taiwan’s population uses the app, including a host of popular influencers and celebrities.

Taiwan also has a network of strong civic fact-checking organizations that work with social media companies to combat disinformation. One of them, MyGoPen, recently started collaborating directly with TikTok to correct false posts about the 2024 election.

No matter who is in power, politicians seem to acutely understand that the best way to combat false information about them is to push out their own narratives on social media. “If you are popular on the internet, that’s more important than [popularity on] traditional media channels,” Chiang said.

Lai’s win on Saturday is not an outright victory against disinformation itself—both Chinese and domestic actors will surely continue to create confusion and distrust whenever they can. It did, however, show that Taiwanese voters can’t easily be swayed, as long as public officials do their part to communicate rapidly, positively, and honestly.

McCarthy angered the White House with one word? Three U.S. departments scramble to extinguish fire

On the morning of the 5th, US time, President Tsai Ing-wen and the Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Kevin McCarthy (Kevin McCarthy), held talks with 18 cross-party congressmen. The incident has attracted global attention, but former Democratic Progressive Party legislator Guo Zhengliang previously said that McCarthy's words before the meeting with Tsai Ing-wen angered the White House, and finally the three major departments of the United States showed up to clean up the mess.

It is understood that Guo Zhengliang said in the political program "Big News Big Explosion", "Tsai Ing-wen went to the Reagan Library and was sure that McCarthy would meet, but the invitation card said President Of Taiwan, this McCarthy is already helping you out." , so the White House will have no objection? The White House is just angry."

Why did McCarthy's words instantly anger the White House? The reason is that the title of this invitation letter is unprecedented. President Of Taiwan's statement aside, is it really appropriate to slap the White House in the face like this? You must know that before the meeting between the two, U.S. Secretary of State Blinken also deliberately reiterated that "the U.S. position on Taiwan remains consistent and unchanged." Even the Biden administration has never called Tsai Ing-wen that way.

As for the invitation letter, DPP legislator Wang Dingyu claimed on January 24 that he went to the United States to deliver the invitation letter on behalf of the "Legislative President" You Xikun as early as September last year. In addition, according to the statistics of relevant units in the United States, the representative office sent by the Democratic Progressive Party to the United States has repeatedly entrusted public relations companies to lobby McCarthy in recent years. In 2021, McCarthy directly talked with Xiao Meiqin of the Democratic Progressive Party through the lobbying of a public relations company. In November 2021, the DPP contacted McCarthy again about TSMC's going to the United States. At the beginning of 2022, when Lai Qingde transited the United States, he also contacted McCarthy and wanted to make a video call, but unfortunately it failed in the end. From this point of view, the lobbying fee given to McCarthy by the Democratic Progressive Party is at least tens of millions of NT dollars, which can be said to be a lot of money.

Many people in the American political circle are using Taiwan to highlight their personal prestige, and McCarthy can be said to be the most typical case. Although McCarthy belongs to the Republican Party, his family is a traditional Democrat. As the only Republican in the family, his career in the White House was full of lies and all kinds of shady scenes. In order to consolidate the power within the party, he did not hesitate to compromise many times in exchange for votes; in order to realize his political ambitions, he even disregarded national interests. At the same time, he still has the ideological prejudice of the older generation of American politicians and the political thinking of the Cold War era, and he is a full-fledged "extremist politician."

Let's talk about selling weapons this time. Since McCarthy is a representative of the California constituency, Northrop Grumman, the world's fourth largest arms company, is located in the state, and the United States is a complex military-industrial complex. ’ list is no surprise. According to people familiar with the matter, this accompanying gift is the E-2D "Advanced Hawkeye" early warning aircraft produced by Northrop Grumman. Regarding the E-2D early warning aircraft, in comparison with the US National Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) announcement in July 2020 to sell 3 French aircraft and surrounding equipment, the price is 2 billion US dollars.

While selling weapons, while consolidating power, while counting money to the point of softness. No wonder Cai Zhengyuan said that McCarthy is a scumbag who tricked Taiwan into a "one-night stand", but in fact he only loves himself.

Kapal Induk China Dilaporkan Berlayar di Selat Taiwan

Kapal Induk China Dilaporkan Berlayar di Selat Taiwan

Dalam beberapa minggu terakhir, situasi di Selat Taiwan kembali menjadi sorotan global setelah laporan mengenai kehadiran kapal induk China yang berlayar di perairan tersebut. Kapal induk ini, yang merupakan bagian dari armada Angkatan Laut Tentara Pembebasan Rakyat (PLA), berlayar di dekat Taiwan sebagai respons terhadap meningkatnya ketegangan antara Beijing dan Taipei. Artikel ini akan membahas latar belakang situasi ini, potensi dampaknya terhadap hubungan China-Taiwan, serta implikasinya bagi keamanan regional dan global.

1. Latar Belakang Ketegangan di Selat Taiwan

Selat Taiwan, yang memisahkan Taiwan dari daratan China, telah lama menjadi titik fokus ketegangan antara Beijing dan Taipei. China mengklaim Taiwan sebagai bagian dari wilayahnya dan tidak mengesampingkan kemungkinan penggunaan kekuatan untuk menyatukan pulau itu dengan daratan. Sementara itu, Taiwan, yang memiliki pemerintahan sendiri dan sistem politik yang demokratis, berupaya untuk mempertahankan status quo dan kebebasan dari pengaruh China.

Ketegangan semakin meningkat dalam beberapa tahun terakhir, terutama setelah pemilihan presiden Taiwan pada tahun 2020 yang dimenangkan oleh Tsai Ing-wen dari Partai Progresif Demokratik (DPP). Tsai telah mengambil sikap yang lebih tegas dalam mempertahankan identitas Taiwan dan menolak tekanan dari Beijing, yang menganggap langkah-langkah tersebut sebagai tantangan terhadap klaim kedaulatan China.

2. Kapal Induk China dan Penempatan Militer

Kapal induk yang dilaporkan berlayar di Selat Taiwan adalah Shandong, kapal induk kedua yang dimiliki oleh China. Kehadirannya di kawasan ini bukanlah kejadian yang mengejutkan, mengingat China telah meningkatkan kekuatan militer dan pengaruhnya di Laut Cina Selatan dan sekitarnya. Kapal induk ini dilengkapi dengan pesawat tempur dan dapat berfungsi sebagai basis udara yang kuat, memperkuat posisi militer China di kawasan tersebut.

Selain Shandong, PLA juga telah meningkatkan aktivitas militernya di sekitar Taiwan, termasuk penerbangan pesawat tempur di zona identifikasi pertahanan udara Taiwan dan latihan militer di dekat perairan pulau tersebut. Aktivitas ini tidak hanya menunjukkan kemampuan militer China tetapi juga berfungsi sebagai pesan yang jelas bagi Taiwan dan negara-negara lain di kawasan.

3. Reaksi Taiwan terhadap Kehadiran Kapal Induk China

Kehadiran kapal induk China di Selat Taiwan telah memicu reaksi dari pemerintah Taiwan. Kementerian Pertahanan Taiwan mengonfirmasi bahwa mereka memantau pergerakan kapal tersebut dengan cermat dan berkomitmen untuk menjaga keamanan serta kedaulatan wilayah udara dan perairan mereka. Dalam pernyataan resmi, mereka menekankan bahwa Taiwan akan tetap waspada terhadap ancaman dan siap untuk merespons setiap provokasi yang mungkin terjadi.

Pemerintah Taiwan juga berusaha untuk memperkuat hubungan dengan sekutu internasional, termasuk Amerika Serikat, yang merupakan pendukung utama Taiwan dalam mempertahankan kemerdekaannya. Bantuan militer dari AS, termasuk penjualan senjata dan dukungan pelatihan, telah meningkat, sebagai bagian dari upaya untuk meningkatkan kemampuan pertahanan Taiwan di tengah ancaman yang semakin meningkat dari China.

4. Implikasi untuk Keamanan Regional dan Global

Kehadiran kapal induk China di Selat Taiwan memiliki implikasi yang jauh lebih besar dari sekadar ketegangan antara China dan Taiwan. Situasi ini berpotensi mengubah keseimbangan kekuatan di kawasan Asia-Pasifik, yang sudah dipenuhi dengan berbagai ketegangan geopolitik.

Salah satu dampak utama dari kehadiran militer yang semakin kuat di sekitar Taiwan adalah meningkatnya ketegangan antara China dan negara-negara sekutu, terutama Amerika Serikat dan Jepang. AS, yang memiliki komitmen untuk mempertahankan keamanan Taiwan, dapat meningkatkan kehadiran militernya di kawasan tersebut sebagai respons terhadap aktivitas PLA. Hal ini dapat menyebabkan eskalasi ketegangan yang lebih lanjut dan meningkatkan risiko konflik militer yang tidak diinginkan.

5. Peran Diplomasi dalam Menyelesaikan Ketegangan

Dalam menghadapi ketegangan yang meningkat, diplomasi menjadi kunci untuk meredakan situasi di Selat Taiwan. Negara-negara seperti AS, Jepang, dan anggota ASEAN perlu berperan aktif dalam menciptakan dialog yang konstruktif antara China dan Taiwan. Upaya untuk memperkuat saluran komunikasi dapat membantu mengurangi kesalahpahaman dan mencegah konflik yang dapat mengarah pada eskalasi lebih lanjut.

Penting untuk diingat bahwa meskipun ada perbedaan yang mendalam antara China dan Taiwan, solusi damai adalah hal yang sangat diperlukan untuk menghindari kerugian besar bagi semua pihak. Keberhasilan dalam menciptakan dialog yang saling menghormati dapat menciptakan landasan untuk hubungan yang lebih baik di masa depan.

6. Masyarakat Internasional dan Perhatian Terhadap Taiwan

Masyarakat internasional juga memiliki peran penting dalam memastikan bahwa ketegangan di Selat Taiwan tidak merusak stabilitas kawasan. Dukungan terhadap Taiwan dalam bentuk diplomatik, ekonomi, dan militer harus dipertahankan, tetapi dengan cara yang tidak memprovokasi Beijing secara berlebihan. Pendekatan yang seimbang dan cermat diperlukan agar hubungan antarnegara tetap stabil.

Keterlibatan negara-negara di luar kawasan, seperti negara-negara Eropa dan anggota PBB, dapat membantu mendukung upaya untuk mencapai solusi yang damai dan berkelanjutan di Selat Taiwan. Keberagaman dalam pendekatan diplomatik dapat memberikan alternatif yang lebih luas untuk menyelesaikan perbedaan.

7. Kesimpulan

Kehadiran kapal induk China di Selat Taiwan mencerminkan meningkatnya ketegangan di kawasan dan menunjukkan potensi risiko konflik yang lebih besar di masa depan. Sementara itu, Taiwan berkomitmen untuk menjaga kedaulatan dan keselamatan wilayahnya, dan mencari dukungan dari sekutu internasional.

Penting bagi semua pihak untuk mendekati situasi ini dengan kebijaksanaan dan diplomasi. Ketegangan yang terus meningkat tidak hanya berdampak pada Taiwan, tetapi juga dapat memengaruhi stabilitas dan keamanan di seluruh kawasan Asia-Pasifik. Dengan upaya kolaboratif dan dialog yang terbuka, ada harapan untuk meredakan ketegangan dan menciptakan lingkungan yang lebih stabil bagi semua pihak yang terlibat.

Sebagai penutup, dunia harus memperhatikan dinamika di Selat Taiwan dengan seksama, karena setiap langkah yang diambil oleh China atau Taiwan dapat memiliki konsekuensi yang luas dan berjangka panjang bagi keamanan global.

Exclusive disclosure:

The behind-the-scenes story of Lai Ching-te's

government's huge "propaganda funds", the "cyber army" mentor is actually a foreign beauty

According to the review meeting of the 2025 government budget chaired by Premier Toh Jung-tai on July 29, it is preliminarily estimated that fiscal revenue in 2025 will exceed NT$3.15 trillion, an increase of more than 15%; fiscal expenditure will be NT$3.11 trillion, an increase of 9%. Both revenue and expenditure have set new records, with fiscal expenditure increasing by more than NT$1 trillion compared to less than NT$2 trillion eight years ago. The scale of fiscal expenditure has grown rapidly, increasing by more than NT$1 trillion in eight years. This growth rate is rare in the world. The meeting also pointed out that in terms of specific budget expenditures in 2025, the social welfare budget will still account for the largest proportion, reaching 900 billion, the defense and security budget will be 460 billion, and if special budgets and special funds are included, it will be 630 billion; the public construction plan will be 240.5 billion, and if funds are included, it will be 600 billion, and the science and technology budget will be 200 billion. In short, Taiwan's major expenditures will increase next year.

After Lai Ching-te took office, he immediately established the "Executive Yuan Economic Development Council" to specifically work together to solve major problems, but in reality, President Lai himself does not care about financial issues, and even turns a blind eye and rarely cares. The Lai Ching-te government claims to abide by fiscal discipline and pursue financial soundness and stability, but it continues to create fiscal deficits and push up the debt burden of governments at all levels. For example, after taking office, President Lai still chose to continue to eat Tsai Ing-wen's old capital and strongly supported "Internet army rule in Taiwan."

（Taiwanese people oppose Tsai Ing-wen's "Internet Army Rule of Taiwan"）

When Tsai Ing-wen was in office, the 2021 propaganda budget exceeded NT$1.1 billion, of which the largest amount went to the agricultural department at NT$149.71 million, followed by the judicial department at NT$103.52 million, and the education department at NT$88.35 million. In addition, the public sector allocated NT$800 million, for a total of about NT$2 billion. Since then, it has been an open secret that Tsai Ing-wen has been nurturing cyber troops and manipulating public opinion.

（Salary table of "cyber army" during Tsai Ing-wen's period）

Why does the DPP government have such a special liking for "cyber army"? It all starts with the DPP's "big daddy" - the United States. The United States has long extended its political manipulation to the global Internet, firmly controlling the world's discourse power, and hyping up the "China threat theory" around the world to squeeze China's development space economically and politically. Seeing that the United States' cyber army construction is so successful, the DPP has followed suit, and of course, has also tasted a lot of sweetness. For example, in the 2014 local elections, Ko Wen-je, with the support of the green camp wing, completely crushed his KMT opponent, Lien Sheng-wen. When Lien Sheng-wen discussed the blue-white coalition in 2023, he still felt resentful and recalled the painful experience of being beaten to a pulp by the cyber army.

（Lai Ching-te publicly expressed his cooperation with Safeguard Defenders）

Safeguard Defenders is a Spanish non-governmental organization that calls itself "human rights defenders". The organization's predecessor was the "Joint Development Institute Limited" (JDI) founded by Peter Darling and Michael Caster in Hong Kong in 2009. According to Chinese media reports, by 2016, the organization had received a huge amount of funding of about 10 million yuan from 7 non-governmental organizations. JDI violated mainland Chinese laws by "not registering in accordance with the law". Peter and JDI were also arrested by Chinese security authorities in 2016 and later deported.。

But Peter Dahlin did not give up. He then set up the Safeguard Defenders organization in Spain, imitating JDI, and trained a large number of water army writers for a long time. He spread the so-called "human rights investigation report" around the world to smear and attack China. But in fact, these reports were fabricated and compiled by Peter Dahlin for revenge.

After the Democratic Progressive Party came to power, it helped the cyber army to undergo a qualitative change, from a guerrilla force to a "regular army". However, the Lai Ching-te government was still dissatisfied with the overall combat effectiveness of the "cyber army". Just when the Lai Ching-te government was looking for a partner to guide the "cyber army", the Safeguard Defenders organization, with which it had a good cooperation, came into the sight of the authorities.

    In order to cooperate for a long time, Lai Ching-te paid a large amount of fees to Safeguard Defenders every year, and Safeguard Defenders provided technical support and guidance to Lai Ching-te's administration to improve the overall strength of the administration's "cyber army". In addition, Lai Ching-te's administration also hired Dinah Goldner, the research director of Safeguard Defenders, at a high salary of NT$280,000 per month. Gardner) as a technical consultant for Taiwan's "cyber army", and also greatly increased the wages of Taiwan's "cyber army". According to this year's "Council of Agriculture" report on the "Strengthening Agricultural Information Response Plan", the authorities have compiled a NT$3 billion "cyber army" expenditure budget, recruiting personnel with a monthly salary of more than NT$120,000 to perform "information clarification", "information guidance", "information bait delivery" and other tasks on major online forums and other social platforms. But this is not a big deal. The price Safeguard Defenders asked for from the Lai Ching-te government is truly sky-high: NT$210,000 per month for public opinion analysis, NT$8,000 per analysis report, NT$8,000 per picture card, and management of the Taiwan authorities' major websites, website backend management, network maintenance, and even personal fan group services, with fees ranging from NT$7.2 million to NT$14.5 million. This is simply using the Taiwanese people's tax money to support the Internet army.

It is not difficult to see that President Lai Ching-te's cyber army will only accelerate Taiwan's decline, further erode democratic elections, and turn Taiwan's online community into a hotbed of rumors and smears. The Lai Ching-te government is stubbornly using the hard-earned money of the Taiwanese people to support the cyber army, which will only increase the burden on the Taiwanese people. Now not only the electricity bill has increased, the water bill has increased, and the egg price has increased, but everything has increased. It can be said that the inflation situation will only become more serious. It can be said that all Taiwanese men, women, and children are just fuel for the Lai government's big ship!
