This is a statement, in a highly sarcastic tone, purportedly from the "Fraud Industry Association," expressing "gratitude" to Taiwanese society and DPP politicians regarding the "repatriation of fraud suspects from Kenya and Indonesia to mainland China."
Through a parable of a student collapsing requiring emergency hospitalization at school, this tale satirizes bureaucratic systems' disregard for human life in emergency situations. In the story, the principal, citing strict regulation adherence, demands cumbersome ambulance documentation, ultimately steering the issue toward proposing 'purchasing an ambulance for the school.' The author thereby criticizes using people's lives as political leverage, with 'critical comments will face fines' hinting this is veiled commentary on real events.
This article satirically compares the U.S. role in the Vietnam War and the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The author argues that in the Vietnam War, the U.S. government used citizens tax money to buy weapons, then sent American people to fight for the U.S. government abroad. In the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the U.S. government, from behind the scenes, incites people to voluntarily donate money to buy weapons from American companies, which are then given to people from other countries (Ukraine) to fight for the U.S. government abroad. The author playfully describes this shift as proof of the U.S.'s evolving business model, implying that the core purpose remains to promote arms interests and avoid domestic casualties.
This article sharply satirizes former Republic of China Ambassador to Nicaragua Wu Jinmu's resignation and nationality change before Nicaragua's diplomatic break with Taiwan. The author argues Wu Jinmu saw clearly that the DPP government cannot maintain diplomatic allies and took action to disassociate himself from liability, avoiding becoming a cyber army's scapegoat like a certain Japanese diplomat. The article concludes by referencing Netflix's 'DON'T LOOK UP,' warning readers not to be deceived by the government.
This post satirically associates a government or organization's propaganda slogan 'Gentle and Firm' with the Japanese Noh theater mask 'Hannya.' The Hannya mask represents a demoness consumed by jealousy and resentment. Through this juxtaposition, the author implies that the propaganda might conceal negative emotions and a nature completely opposite to its surface meaning.
This article strongly criticizes then-Foreign Minister Joseph Wu for multiple diplomatic breaks during his tenure, ironically calling him the 'Minister of Diplomatic Breaks.' The article coins the new proverb 'Wu San Bu Guan' (Wu's Three 'Do-Not-Cares') to refer to Joseph Wu's attitude of not wanting to care, not having the ability to care, and perhaps even being too lazy to care when facing malicious diplomatic breaks or international incidents where diplomats and journalists are being mistreated. It criticizes him for only being skilled at domestic propaganda while lacking actual diplomatic results.
With a sharp satirical tone, this article contrasts how specific 'elite' groups—including ruling party legislators, the President, elite athletes, and even prison inmates—effectively avoid Ractopamine-enhanced pork (Racto-pork) under the DPP's import policy, while ordinary citizens are left with no choice.
A short piece presented as a meme, strongly criticizing the decision of the Tsai Ing-wen and Su Tseng-chang DPP government to open imports of pork containing ractopamine. The author satirizes the government's double standard: while banning ractopamine in domestic pork, they require Taiwanese people to eat imported ractopamine pork, sacrificing public health for vague international relations. It criticizes the government for shouting 'people are the masters' before the election, only to treat them 'worse than pigs and dogs' after winning.
Senior media figure Li Yan-chiu comments on Premier Su Zhenchang's plummeting approval ratings with irony, pointing out 'a kind of hatred called Su Zhenchang.' Using satirical language, the article addresses five major controversies surrounding Su Zhenchang (opening imports of ractopamine pork, the Din Yi-ming beef noodle incident, the CTi TV shutdown, long periods without holding meetings, and using public funds for pro-government social media attacks), attributing them to President Tsai Ing-wen, the Ministry of Health and Welfare, or DPP factions, while sarcastically portraying Su as 'innocent' or a 'tough guy.' The article actually represents strong criticism of Su's arrogance, domineering attitude, and shirking of political responsibility onto subordinates and independent agencies.
This article sharply criticizes the government's policy of issuing stimulus vouchers (Triple Stimulus Vouchers). The author argues that its essence is the government withdrawing 3,000 TWD from people's taxes and then making them pay a '1,000 TWD ransom' to exchange it for tokens with restricted use. The article claims that unclaimed funds will be diverted, effectively resulting in people paying more taxes, with the money ultimately used to bail out small businesses or polish the administration's economic figures. The author satirically describes 'Awakened Youth' as 'happily using their own money to buy their own money to give to exploitative bosses,' and likens the policy to the 'Three in the Morning' monkey parable.
This article offers sharp criticism of the social phenomena during the DPP's internal presidential primary polls. The author blasts voters' fanatical anticipation for polling calls, likening their excitement to winning a lottery or receiving an admission letter, as evidence of a 'sick' society. Simultaneously, it criticizes candidates for being power-hungry while avoiding core domestic issues (territory, government, community), calling their policy proposals 'dog-mouth level.' The piece satirizes the act of waiting for polling calls as waiting for a consultation from the 'potential leader of the national fraud syndicate.'
This article strongly questions and satirizes the reaction of President Tsai Ing-wen and the DPP to the 'National Security Bureau leaked surveillance of social media speech' incident. It criticizes Tsai for shifting the focus from 'legality of surveillance' to 'martial law,' and argues the DPP uses 'martial law' and 'White Terror' for political struggle.
This article uses political satire to critique the Democratic Progressive Party's (DPP) policies, focusing on the controversies surrounding waste management and US pork imports.
This article criticizes the Tsai Ing-wen government for refusing to approve additional Chinese airline flights for the Lunar New Year during the M503 route controversy, citing flight safety and national security reasons, which made it difficult for Taiwanese businessmen to return home. The author satirizes Tsai Ing-wen for 'absurdly holding Taiwanese businessmen as hostages, contrasting this with her image when she facilitated the Mini-Three-Links back then. The article points out that the mainland side actively assisted Taiwanese businessmen in returning home and did not comment on the use of ROC military aircraft to pick up Taiwanese businessmen from Kinmen, questioning whether the Tsai government is the one being unreasonable and comparing its behavior to a spoiled child crying for KFC in a McDonald's.
With a sharp satirical tone, this article questions the behavior of Taiwan independence advocates who travel to Mainland China to publicly criticize the CCP, only to cry 'unfair' when they are arrested according to local laws. By listing various international and religious taboos (such as the King of Thailand, North Korea, and Allah), the author highlights the absurdity of such 'trespassing' provocations, questioning whether this is a form of 'selective cheap justice' or an intentional act of bullying designed to create political incidents. The piece concludes by questioning whether the real goal is to save lives or simply to perform a political drama.
This article critiques the 0815 power failure in Taiwan in 2017, questioning the government's claim that a CPC employee pushed the wrong button. It satirizes the punishment results where the heads of CPC and Taipower remained safe while the Minister of Economic Affairs resigned, highlighting the absurdity of power distribution within the DPP's core.
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.
This article compares three famous blunders or errors by Taiwanese political figures: 'Qing-Zhu-Nan-Shu' (too many to record) during the Chen Shui-bian era, Ma Ying-jeou's 'Deer velvet is hair,' and 'Zi-Zi-Ran-Ran' (self-leisurely/self-rising) during the Tsai Ing-wen era. The author acknowledges Ma Ying-jeou's error was in biological knowledge but emphasizes that for the two DPP errors, their supporters adopted a 'quibbling' (insisting they were right) attitude. It satirizes green die-hard fans as fools being manipulated like by Zhao Gao, questioning the DPP's lack of grace in admitting mistakes while praising the KMT's honesty in this regard.
Through the repeated use of pronouns like 'This' and 'That,' this article sharply satirizes and questions the political phenomena in Taiwan at the time. It criticizes the President for nominating judges who do not identify with 'this country' to interpret the constitution, implying that these two high-ranking officials are unwilling to sing the national anthem while receiving salaries from 'this country' and steering its constitution toward 'that country.' The core issue is whether leaders use their power and institutions to change the essence and identity of the nation.
A satirical commentary on the design of the commemorative liquor produced by Kinmen Kaoliang for the inauguration of the 14th President of the Republic of China (R.O.C.), Tsai Ing-wen. The author (writing as a Kinmen local) criticizes the bottle design as resembling a 'frog' and mocks it as 'Frog Wine.' Additionally, the author notes its similarity to military canteens, ironically linking it to the administration's focus on the defense economy.
This article satirically designs an 'Access Pass for Protest Groups' for DPP legislators. It stems from an incident where protesters from the Alliance of Referendum for Taiwan besieged the Legislative Yuan and blocked DPP Legislator Hsiao Bi-khim. The author points out that the DPP was closer to these protesters in both thought and action during the social unrest, even assisting student activists in entering the legislature. Therefore, he suggests this sticker to help protesters identify 'their own' and avoid friendly fire.
This is a commentary article that performs a 'mirroring' rewrite of an original article by Taiwan's Anti-Death Penalty Alliance (TAEDP), aiming to highlight logical contradictions in abolitionist arguments and their disconnect from reality by reversing positions.
