Stand up to CCP proxies
On Sunday, Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) caucus whip Fu Kun-chi — out of fear of being recalled — held a political briefing at Hualien County’s Zhongzheng Stadium. There, retired teacher Yeh Chun-lien (葉春蓮), a recipient of the National Teachers’ Award, pointed directly at Fu and accused him of colluding with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Yeh — nearly 80 years old — was forcibly removed from the venue. Outside the stadium, the elderly woman said: “No one has the right to grab my neck like that. Now, it is clear that Fu is collaborating with those bandits. If Taiwan were to be taken over by the CCP, I could not go on living for even one day.”
Fu openly and brazenly collaborates with the CCP. Yeh spoke out and — despite the CCP having not yet invaded — Fu put on a ferocious face and openly suppressed freedom of speech. This behavior shows that he is nothing but a cheap copy of the CCP’s one-party state.
The CCP recently held a meeting to discuss its Taiwan-related work, at which Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference Chairman Wang Huning (王滬寧) said that the “one China” principle and so-called “1992 consensus” must be upheld, pro-unification forces in Taiwan must be strongly supported, and they must work to resolutely crack down on provocations of Taiwanese independence to shape the inevitable trend of unification with the “motherland.”
Are these “pro-unification forces” Wang speaks of precisely those like Fu, who bows down to Wang and collaborates with the CCP?
The CCP aims for military unification with Taiwan, threatening to take it with no living soul surviving or sending Taiwanese to re-education camps, as well as touting that “Taiwan independence is a dead-end.”
Last week, the Chinese military even openly taunted Taiwan, saying: “We will take you sooner or later.”
If the CCP invades, it would destroy human rights in Taiwan — so it is guaranteed that Taiwanese “could not go on living for even one more day.”
If someone like Yeh — a retired teacher approaching 80 years old — is willing to take such a risk, then Taiwanese have no choice but to stand up.
Everyone must use all of their power to support the recall of Fu and other legislators under the CCP’s control — the “pro-unification forces” — to save Taiwan.

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
