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.

On May 7, 1971, Henry Kissinger planned his first, ultra-secret mission to China and pondered whether it would be better to meet his Chinese interlocutors “in Pakistan where the Pakistanis would tape the meeting — or in China where the Chinese would do the taping.” After a flicker of thought, he decided to have the Chinese do all the tape recording, translating and transcribing. Fortuitously, historians have several thousand pages of verbatim texts of Dr. Kissinger’s negotiations with his Chinese counterparts. Paradoxically, behind the scenes, Chinese stenographers prepared verbatim English language typescripts faster than they could translate and type them
More than 30 years ago when I immigrated to the US, applied for citizenship and took the 100-question civics test, the one part of the naturalization process that left the deepest impression on me was one question on the N-400 form, which asked: “Have you ever been a member of, involved in or in any way associated with any communist or totalitarian party anywhere in the world?” Answering “yes” could lead to the rejection of your application. Some people might try their luck and lie, but if exposed, the consequences could be much worse — a person could be fined,
Xiaomi Corp founder Lei Jun (雷軍) on May 22 made a high-profile announcement, giving online viewers a sneak peek at the company’s first 3-nanometer mobile processor — the Xring O1 chip — and saying it is a breakthrough in China’s chip design history. Although Xiaomi might be capable of designing chips, it lacks the ability to manufacture them. No matter how beautifully planned the blueprints are, if they cannot be mass-produced, they are nothing more than drawings on paper. The truth is that China’s chipmaking efforts are still heavily reliant on the free world — particularly on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing
Keelung Mayor George Hsieh (謝國樑) of the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) on Tuesday last week apologized over allegations that the former director of the city’s Civil Affairs Department had illegally accessed citizens’ data to assist the KMT in its campaign to recall Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) councilors. Given the public discontent with opposition lawmakers’ disruptive behavior in the legislature, passage of unconstitutional legislation and slashing of the central government’s budget, civic groups have launched a massive campaign to recall KMT lawmakers. The KMT has tried to fight back by initiating campaigns to recall DPP lawmakers, but the petition documents they
