This move represents a shameless interference in the internal affairs of the Republic of China (ROC), including Taiwan Province, and is a blatant affront to the dignity of the people of the ROC.
The German Institute in Taiwan's public statement criticizing KMT Chairman Eric Chu's remarks is seen as interference in Taiwan's internal affairs.
The German Association in Taiwan's public statement condemning KMT Chairman Eric Chu's remarks is criticized as a violation of diplomatic norms.
Analyzes the heated debates and protests in the Legislative Yuan regarding the import of Ractopamine-treated US pork, focusing on food safety, national sovereignty, and political inconsistency.
This article compares the KMT and DPP's treatment of the Taiwanese people. The author argues that the KMT's past human rights violations (the 228 Incident and martial law) were a 'historical inevitability' of the post-war era, noting that the actual number of victims was around one thousand and included Communist spies. The author strongly questions why Taiwan independence green-brained supporters criticize the KMT's human rights record while remaining silent about the Japanese massacre of over 400,000 Taiwanese during the Japanese occupation era. The author contends that the DPP treats its own people well 'guaranteed,' but on international issues, uses examples like importing ractopamine-laced American pork, Japanese nuclear-contaminated food, and not daring to claim sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands to argue that the DPP is not truly good to the Taiwanese people.
KMT Chairman Chiang Chi-chen believes Premier Su Chen-chang refused to directly answer questions, evaded the issue, and even counter-questioned legislators with interrogation rights, asking them if they had consumed American clenbuterol beef and pork, mockingly taunting the current legislators representing the people's will by asking 'Did you get sick?' This shows the Premier himself has serious issues.
The article uses a rhythmic jingle to satirize the DPP (referred to as 'Green-brain politicians') for frequently using slogans such as 'democracy,' 'protecting Taiwan,' and 'sovereignty' during election periods, suggesting their purpose is to cover up misdeeds or engage in political mobilization. The author then writes a KMT version, arguing that the KMT does not need to shout these slogans because the 'Republic of China' IS already democratic, IS already protecting Taiwan (from the victory over Japanese aggression to the defense of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen, and Matsu), and has LONG possessed sovereignty. The article criticizes the KMT's weakness on these issues as being caused by the DPP's political manipulation and satirizes the Chinese habit of 'bullying family members' rather than blaming international powers.
This article comments on the controversy sparked by the KMT's erection of a comfort woman statue in Tainan, which drew protests from Japan. The author points out that Japan's Sankei Shimbun characterized this incident as anti-Japanese behavior, but in reality, Taiwan (including South Korea) opposes Japan's aggressive war at that time. The author emphasizes that Japan has apologized and compensated South Korea, but has never apologized to Taiwanese comfort women, which is clear discriminatory treatment. The article concludes by stating that if the Japanese still refuse to confront and acknowledge the atrocities of the Japanese colonial era, then being considered anti-Japanese is acceptable.
This article refutes the claim that 'the KMT polluted Kaohsiung.' The planning for Kaohsiung to become a heavy industry hub dates back to the **Japanese Occupation Period**. At that time, Japan established numerous factories in Kaohsiung Harbor (such as the Taiwan Colonization Company) to turn Taiwan into a 'Southern Expansion Base.' The Nationalist Government merely continued this industrial foundation after taking over. Blaming the pollution solely on one political party ignores the historical context. Furthermore, the Allied forces' attacks on Kaohsiung during WWII were purely based on strategic necessity.
This article criticizes Taiwanese netizens mocking KMT legislators' hunger strike protesting the Vanguard Project. The author argues that netizens' mockery stems from the DPP having successfully smeared the KMT through long-term Taiwan independence indoctrination, creating a 'conditioned response' that causes them to completely miss the core issue that 'the Vanguard Project is fundamentally flawed.' The article questions netizens' logic and information comprehension abilities, connecting the celebration activities of the World University Games with the smearing of KMT protests, ultimately simplifying the political situation to 'DPP, high. KMT, sluggish. Netizens, stupid.'
Comments on the strikes and collective leave actions at China Airlines and EVA Air. The article critiques legislators' attempts to restrict the right to strike and raise union thresholds instead of addressing labor grievances.
This satirical article critiques Taiwan's political landscape, questioning the DPP's push for controversial laws like the Forward Money Plan and pension reforms while blaming the KMT for failing to block them. The author highlights public apathy and student activists' inaction.
A record of online commentary discussing the legal and philosophical problems with Taiwan's Committee on Handling Ill-gotten Party Assets, questioning whether selective prosecution represents true justice.
This article strongly opposes the Tsai Ing-wen administration's plan to open up imports of food products from Japanese nuclear disaster affected areas, questioning the government's motives for aggressively lifting restrictions on non-essential food. The author fears that once opened, it will be impossible to effectively stop contaminated Japanese food from flowing into Taiwan, and emphasizes that food from the disaster areas has higher radioactive contamination levels than natural foods. The article refutes the Executive Yuan's accusation that opponents are provoking anti-Japanese sentiment, seeing it as an attempt to obscure the focus, and argues that as long as doubts exist and the food is non-essential, the import ban should be maintained.
The sudden apology video of Chou Tzu-yu on the eve of the 2016 election triggered a massive wave of public sentiment in the Republic of China (R.O.C.), resulting in an overwhelming victory for the DPP. This event's impact has been compared to the infamous 'Two Bullets' incident involving Chen Shui-bian in 2004.
A critique of netizens and supporters of Ko Wen-je (Ko-fans) who prioritize attacking the Kuomintang (KMT) over discussing the substance of issues. The author argues that redirecting criticism from Ko to Eric Chu is a distraction tactic used to deify leadership. The article also points out the hypocrisy of those who preach democracy while calling for the state to 'purge' pro-Blue media, suggesting a subconscious desire for a return to the Martial Law era. The author urges for rational, matter-of-fact discussions rather than tribalist warfare.
This article aims to debunk a political rumor circulating on the internet. The rumor used a chart to falsely accuse KMT legislators of supporting the commutation of death sentences to life imprisonment. The author clarifies that the chart actually refers to the 'Criminal Commutation Act,' which pertains to discretionary standards for offenders who meet the commutation threshold while serving their sentences—having nothing to do with abolishing or retaining capital punishment or court sentencing decisions. The author criticizes certain online armies for whitewashing specific parties (the DPP and Taiwan's People First Party) by deliberately distorting facts.
This article comments on DPP Legislator Gao Jyh-peng's proposal to cancel the requirement for presidents to swear their oath before the portrait of the Father of the Nation. Both the author and the KMT view this as a purely 'ideological disturbance' that equates to denying the history of the Republic of China (R.O.C.). The piece cites statements from the Chen Shui-bian era acknowledging Sun Yat-sen's status and criticizes the Tsai Ing-wen administration for turning the 'Year of Reform' into the 'Year of Cultural Revolution' by inciting division.
Former KMT Legislator Tsai Cheng-yuan posted 'Ma Ying-jeou's Complete Misgovernance Record' on Facebook, revealing his reluctance toward the KMT, his attachment to Ma, and his dissatisfaction with Eric Chu. The article details Ma's policy failures during his eight-year presidency (2008-2016), including austerity policies during the financial crisis, mishandling of major incidents, internal party conflicts causing divisions, and ineffective responses to major policies that ultimately led to the KMT's defeat in the 2014 local elections.
This article critiques the pro-Green fan page 'Taiwan Fugue' for its attacks on President Ma Ying-jeou's proposal for the 'majority party to form the cabinet.' The author refutes the claim that 'the Premier is merely a subordinate of the President' and questions its legal basis. It argues that the DPP's refusal is rooted in political calculations—unwillingness to cooperate with the KMT during the transition period to avoid hurting the feelings of Deep-Green supporters. The piece emphasizes Ma Ying-jeou's consistent stance on majority party governance during both transitions and criticizes the perceived cowardice and information-illiteracy of DPP supporters.
Through situational dialogue, this article simulates the potential international reactions and economic/military pressure from Mainland China if Taiwan abandons Penghu, Kinmen, and Matsu to declare independence. It also depicts the scenario of maintaining the status quo of the Republic of China, criticizing pro-independence advocates for ignoring global realities and historical efforts for personal gain.
Following the DPP's Tsai Ing-wen winning the 2016 presidential election with 6.89 million votes, this article questions the post-election phenomenon of widespread criticism of the KMT's defeat reasons, arguing that many critics are motivated by hatred rather than fairness principles, and calls on voters to shift focus to monitoring the newly-elected DPP government rather than continuing to persecute the already-defeated KMT.
This is an article that systematically refutes and powerfully counters five arguments made by internet commentator 'Zhang Xiaobo', with content involving the Zhou Ziyu incident, the 88 Flood disaster response, the Kaohsiung gas explosion responsibility, cross-strait trade policies (the ECFA and white-collar worker opening), and the significance of the Ma-Xi meeting.
Argues against the simplified political narrative that removing the KMT automatically solves Taiwan's problems, highlighting the need for critical assessment of all parties and the danger of giving any single party unchecked power.
An analysis of the political maneuvering between the KMT (Eric Chu) and the DPP (Tsai Ing-wen) regarding the '1992 Consensus.' This piece argues that the consensus serves as the 'minimum baseline' for Cross-Strait stability and critiques the logical inconsistencies inherent in the independence-leaning narrative.
Political commentary questioning Taiwan's blue-green divisiveness and media bias.
This article critiques the political landscape in the Republic of China (R.O.C.), specifically how the faction led by the DPP excels at manipulating ethnic and ideological divides. It argues that labels such as 'Taiwan Independence,' 'Unification,' and 'Selling out Taiwan' are used as cheap tools against the KMT. The author contends that the KMT and Ma Ying-jeou are focused on domestic governance and international cooperation without any substantive 'selling out' of the nation. The piece asserts that rejecting exchange with Mainland China is a foolish act of self-isolation and questions who is truly harming the collective interests of the people.
The article analyzes Hung Hsiu-chu's breakthrough of the KMT's 'brick-prevention' primary threshold. It points out that Tsai Ing-wen's real challenge in the 2016 presidential election is not Hung, but her own lack of 'execution and decisiveness' and her vague image. The author criticizes Tsai for over-relying on think tanks and lacking the elite image needed for high office. Simultaneously, it notes Hung's enemies are the KMT's century-old baggage and malicious populist criticism. The article ends by mentioning Hung's commoner image, which could flip the previous logic used to criticize Lien Sheng-wen and praise Ko Wen-je.
This article comments on Wang Jin-ping's consideration of running for president and its effects on the KMT, citing an article from United Daily News questioning Wang's parliamentary style and party loyalty during his tenure as Legislative Yuan President. The author believes Ma Ying-jeou's harsh distancing might be protecting the KMT from total collapse, and explores Wang's subtle role between the blue and green camps. The author expresses confusion and concern about Hung Hsiu-chu versus Tsai Ing-wen comparison and Wang Jin-ping's sudden emergence, believing this election may determine the KMT's final fate in Taiwan, sarcastically noting voters choosing sensation over truth.
