United Microelectronics Corp founder Robert Tsao (曹興誠) recently wrote in an article that anyone in Taiwan can see that Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) and Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) legislators are taking orders from KMT caucus whip Fu Kun-chi (傅?萁), who is in turn being directed by Beijing, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference Chairman Wang Huning (王滬寧).
Wang’s mission is to divide and weaken Taiwan to make Taiwanese surrender without a fight, Tsao wrote.
The master-slave relationship between Wang, Fu, and KMT and TPP legislators can be summed up as the KMT and TPP belong to the same “Dang” family, and that dang (黨), or party, is the CCP.
In February 2016, Chinese President Xi Jinping (習近平) convened the “Symposium on Party News and Media Discourse” in Beijing’s Great Hall of the People, where he emphasized that party and state media are the battlefields on which to disseminate propaganda, and that they must belong to the state — the CCP.
On the morning of Feb. 19, 2016, Xi visited China Central Television’s (CCTV) offices. The state media outlet had erected a welcoming banner with the slogan: “CCTV’s surname is ‘The Party.’ [We are] absolutely loyal. Ready for inspection.” Such a display clearly tramples on the dignity of media workers and journalists, exposing the outlet’s servility toward the CCP.
Compared with the CCTV’s shamelessness display, Fu has little time or room to be conciliatory. He studied at China’s main institution on the CCP’s “united front” tactics — the “Taiwan division” of Jinan University — earning a “doctorate” from its Department of International Studies.
He has been completely immersed in “obedience to the party, following the party, and obeying all its directives and orders.” He is well-versed in the “united front” tactic of first: divide, second: teach, third: create schisms, and the CCP’s often treacherous methods of “creating upheaval to exacerbate the enemy’s internal incompatibilities.”
Each time these CCP schemes are exposed, Taiwanese can learn a bit more about this KMT-TPP “Eighth Route Army” under Fu’s command, and how it seems to use a zombifying drug to craze them into wrecking Taiwan’s Constitution and sowing chaos in the government. The KMT and TPP have pushed through three odious revisions of key laws without proper debate or decorum, and haphazardly hacked away at critical government budgets, all in service of Fu’s — and Beijing’s — aim of stamping out Taiwan. The evidence is in the open for all to see.
The CCTV’s banner expressed the outlet’s total loyalty to the CCP. Fu and his followers’ attempts to fracture and weaken Taiwan is their show of absolute loyalty to the same masters. Taiwanese need to recall every Fu follower in the legislature to strike back at the CCP, and display the strength of justice and righteousness in Taiwanese society. Let us strive together to throw them out.

Concerns that the US might abandon Taiwan are often overstated. While US President Donald Trump’s handling of Ukraine raised unease in Taiwan, it is crucial to recognize that Taiwan is not Ukraine. Under Trump, the US views Ukraine largely as a European problem, whereas the Indo-Pacific region remains its primary geopolitical focus. Taipei holds immense strategic value for Washington and is unlikely to be treated as a bargaining chip in US-China relations. Trump’s vision of “making America great again” would be directly undermined by any move to abandon Taiwan. Despite the rhetoric of “America First,” the Trump administration understands the necessity of
US President Donald Trump’s challenge to domestic American economic-political priorities, and abroad to the global balance of power, are not a threat to the security of Taiwan. Trump’s success can go far to contain the real threat — the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) surge to hegemony — while offering expanded defensive opportunities for Taiwan. In a stunning affirmation of the CCP policy of “forceful reunification,” an obscene euphemism for the invasion of Taiwan and the destruction of its democracy, on March 13, 2024, the People’s Liberation Army’s (PLA) used Chinese social media platforms to show the first-time linkage of three new
If you had a vision of the future where China did not dominate the global car industry, you can kiss those dreams goodbye. That is because US President Donald Trump’s promised 25 percent tariff on auto imports takes an ax to the only bits of the emerging electric vehicle (EV) supply chain that are not already dominated by Beijing. The biggest losers when the levies take effect this week would be Japan and South Korea. They account for one-third of the cars imported into the US, and as much as two-thirds of those imported from outside North America. (Mexico and Canada, while
The military is conducting its annual Han Kuang exercises in phases. The minister of national defense recently said that this year’s scenarios would simulate defending the nation against possible actions the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) might take in an invasion of Taiwan, making the threat of a speculated Chinese invasion in 2027 a heated agenda item again. That year, also referred to as the “Davidson window,” is named after then-US Indo-Pacific Command Admiral Philip Davidson, who in 2021 warned that Chinese President Xi Jinping (習近平) had instructed the PLA to be ready to invade Taiwan by 2027.
