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.

The gutting of Voice of America (VOA) and Radio Free Asia (RFA) by US President Donald Trump’s administration poses a serious threat to the global voice of freedom, particularly for those living under authoritarian regimes such as China. The US — hailed as the model of liberal democracy — has the moral responsibility to uphold the values it champions. In undermining these institutions, the US risks diminishing its “soft power,” a pivotal pillar of its global influence. VOA Tibetan and RFA Tibetan played an enormous role in promoting the strong image of the US in and outside Tibet. On VOA Tibetan,
Sung Chien-liang (宋建樑), the leader of the Chinese Nationalist Party’s (KMT) efforts to recall Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Legislator Lee Kun-cheng (李坤城), caused a national outrage and drew diplomatic condemnation on Tuesday after he arrived at the New Taipei City District Prosecutors’ Office dressed in a Nazi uniform. Sung performed a Nazi salute and carried a copy of Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf as he arrived to be questioned over allegations of signature forgery in the recall petition. The KMT’s response to the incident has shown a striking lack of contrition and decency. Rather than apologizing and distancing itself from Sung’s actions,
US President Trump weighed into the state of America’s semiconductor manufacturing when he declared, “They [Taiwan] stole it from us. They took it from us, and I don’t blame them. I give them credit.” At a prior White House event President Trump hosted TSMC chairman C.C. Wei (魏哲家), head of the world’s largest and most advanced chip manufacturer, to announce a commitment to invest US$100 billion in America. The president then shifted his previously critical rhetoric on Taiwan and put off tariffs on its chips. Now we learn that the Trump Administration is conducting a “trade investigation” on semiconductors which
By now, most of Taiwan has heard Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an’s (蔣萬安) threats to initiate a vote of no confidence against the Cabinet. His rationale is that the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP)-led government’s investigation into alleged signature forgery in the Chinese Nationalist Party’s (KMT) recall campaign constitutes “political persecution.” I sincerely hope he goes through with it. The opposition currently holds a majority in the Legislative Yuan, so the initiation of a no-confidence motion and its passage should be entirely within reach. If Chiang truly believes that the government is overreaching, abusing its power and targeting political opponents — then
