Proper propaganda
Dear Johnny,
A. The DPP can curse the KMT, but this will not lead to success. The DPP needs to enact well thought out action plans.
B. On DPP and pan-green-camp infighting: Why does the DPP boast it has talent when it is actually empty? What is its master plan for the Taiwanese people? The DPP needs to inculcate basic English in all its ranks and then collect useful information and organize it in the right way at the right time for the right occasion.
C. If the KMT gets a second term, it is possible that Taiwan will be finished. Taiwan’s future is now. The DPP or a new, grassroots party must come to the forefront. Use Typhoon Morakot to shame the KMT via international media, using video, radio and propaganda. Repeat the theme and message.
D. The coming municipal and county elections in December are crucial to the DPP and Taiwan’s future.
E. Cultivate leadership at all levels of the DPP.
F. Use international outreach to hold an open debate on Taiwanese issues. Use professional, political, business and affiliated organizations overseas to hold open forums.
G. The DPP needs to reach out to people and be humble, listen to people’s hearts, and convince Taiwanese why independence and referendums are in their best interests.
H. The KMT has money to build networks, so the DPP needs to win hearts. It needs to galvanize the youth to perform community service without a political flavor. It needs to convince people that the DPP is for Taiwan. Use CDs, the media, videos and photos to shame the KMT internationally.
I. To the DPP or a new grassroots party:
(i) constantly reflect on the consequences of your actions,
(ii) examine the KMT’s Web site and all its media to pick apart and internationally shame it for sacrificing Taiwanese lives,
(iii) use the same dirty tricks as the KMT,
(iv) read all newspapers carefully, especially the editorials and letters to the editor. Incorporate this information into DPP and pro-Taiwan propaganda, and
(v) collect information, organize it and present it via multimedia to people of all ages and levels of education.

Johnny replies: Uh ... perhaps strike the references to dirty tricks and propaganda?
Because much of what former US president Donald Trump says is unhinged and histrionic, it is tempting to dismiss all of it as bunk. Yet the potential future president has a populist knack for sounding alarums that resonate with the zeitgeist — for example, with growing anxiety about World War III and nuclear Armageddon. “We’re a failing nation,” Trump ranted during his US presidential debate against US Vice President Kamala Harris in one particularly meandering answer (the one that also recycled urban myths about immigrants eating cats). “And what, what’s going on here, you’re going to end up in World War
Earlier this month in Newsweek, President William Lai (賴清德) challenged the People’s Republic of China (PRC) to retake the territories lost to Russia in the 19th century rather than invade Taiwan. He stated: “If it is for the sake of territorial integrity, why doesn’t [the PRC] take back the lands occupied by Russia that were signed over in the treaty of Aigun?” This was a brilliant political move to finally state openly what many Chinese in both China and Taiwan have long been thinking about the lost territories in the Russian far east: The Russian far east should be “theirs.” Granted, Lai issued
On Tuesday, President William Lai (賴清德) met with a delegation from the Hoover Institution, a think tank based at Stanford University in California, to discuss strengthening US-Taiwan relations and enhancing peace and stability in the region. The delegation was led by James Ellis Jr, co-chair of the institution’s Taiwan in the Indo-Pacific Region project and former commander of the US Strategic Command. It also included former Australian minister for foreign affairs Marise Payne, influential US academics and other former policymakers. Think tank diplomacy is an important component of Taiwan’s efforts to maintain high-level dialogue with other nations with which it does
On Sept. 2, Elbridge Colby, former deputy assistant secretary of defense for strategy and force development, wrote an article for the Wall Street Journal called “The US and Taiwan Must Change Course” that defends his position that the US and Taiwan are not doing enough to deter the People’s Republic of China (PRC) from taking Taiwan. Colby is correct, of course: the US and Taiwan need to do a lot more or the PRC will invade Taiwan like Russia did against Ukraine. The US and Taiwan have failed to prepare properly to deter war. The blame must fall on politicians and policymakers
