This article comments on the 2021 Taiwan referendum results, arguing that the referendum has devolved into a test of 'choosing sides' and 'party loyalty' rather than a pure expression of public will. The author expresses admiration for a party member who 'followed public opinion' and views the results as a product of the current political situation. The piece questions the significance of the 'Restart Nuclear Plant 4' referendum, arguing that the disposal of nuclear waste is the core, unsolvable issue. Regarding the ractopamine pork issue, the author suggests viewing it through the lens of international 'reciprocity' and criticizes politicians for politicizing every issue and exploiting public anxiety. He calls for unity and logical thinking among Taiwanese to avoid being puppets of political parties, viewing the referendum as a waste of taxpayer money.
This article strongly criticizes the DPP's attitude toward the four referendum issues in 2021, accusing it of being a Double-Standard Party and using lies for political manipulation. The author points out the Tsai Ing-wen government for framing the opposition to Ractopamine-containing pork as opposing US pork and destroying US trust, and framing the protection of algal reefs as planning to stop the construction of the third LNG terminal and being a CCP fellow traveler. It calls on the public to support four agrees in the 1218 referendum: restarting the Fourth Nuclear Power Plant, opposing Ractopamine pork to protect health, holding referendums with general elections, and protecting algal reefs, in order to strengthen national energy and democratic policies.
This article sharply criticizes the four major referendum issues at the time (Nuclear-4, Algae Reef, Ractopamine Pork, Election-day Referendum), arguing the ruling party deceived citizens on these issues. The core argument is that if the final outcome must obey the ruling party's will, then all discussion and demands in the process are meaningless, because 'they're deceiving you.' Specific criticisms include using 'non-nuclear homes' to deceive on stable electricity, using 'algae reefs' to deceive on goodness, using 'Taiwan pork' to deceive on eating ractopamine pork, and using 'referendum will' to deceive on truthfulness.
They dare not touch the simple and easy-to-understand issue of ractopamine pork at all. Even when they talk about it regardless of shame, they still have to cover it with a fig leaf named America 🇺🇸, stubbornly lying that Taiwanese are opposing American pork.
December 18, 2021 (the 110th year of the Republic of China) is the day for the four major referendums. One of the topics concerns whether to ban the import of Ractopamine pork (referred to as Racto-pork or toxic pork) in the future. Please make sure to vote 'Agree'.
This article criticizes the Tsai Ing-wen government for mobilizing against 'four agrees' in the four referendum cases at the end of 2021. The author believes that after the recall of a legislator was passed, Tsai Ing-wen hurriedly promoted 'Four No Votes, Taiwan More Powerful' out of panic, using the entire party's strength and even abusing government power. The article satirizes that the referendum issues such as algal reefs, Ractopamine pork, and referendums with general elections were originally the DPP's own claims, but have now become 'opposing oneself,' while accusing Tsai Ing-wen of twisting 'anti-Ractopamine pork' into 'anti-US pork,' questioning if she treats her supporters as fools who lack thinking ability.
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.
CTi News presented an adapted version of Li Jia-wei's song 'Suffering' (original lyrics by Xu Shi-zhen, original composition by Rao Shan-qiang) at their New Year singing competition as a voice of resistance against the importation of American ractopamine pork.

This article is a strong critique of how Democratic Progressive Party legislators on December 24, 2020, took advantage of their numerical superiority to forcefully pass the case for importing U.S. pork containing ractopamine (lean meat agent). The author questions why these 'ractopamine legislators' can ignore public opinion, follow party directives, and take actions that harm public health, increase food safety risks, and are detrimental to the nation through 'loss of sovereignty clauses.'
Using satire, this article strongly questions the motives of Executive Yuan's Agriculture Committee Chairman Chen Jizhong after the forced passage of nine administrative orders on ractopamine pork. The author contrasts 'pig hearts' with 'people's hearts,' and 'party will' with 'public will,' warning against turning skepticism into a 'Ractopamine Committee Movement.'
The article reports that Premier Su Tseng-chang mistakenly mentioned during a Legislative Yuan inquiry that Pingtung's Singskout Meat 'very much supported' ractopamine pork and noted its owner was a KMT Central Standing Committee member. Singskout Meat immediately issued a statement refuting this, emphasizing their firm opposition to ractopamine pork imports. However, shortly after the statement, the Pingtung Fire Department showed up for an inspection, leading the KMT to question if this was a retaliatory 'Checking the Water Meter' action by the government. Although the Fire Department clarified it was a routine inspection, the event highlights the sensitivity of interactions between enterprises and the government on sensitive political issues.
This article strongly questions and criticizes several policies and events during President Tsai Ing-wen's five years in office, including energy policy, the New Southbound Policy, returning Taiwanese businesses and real estate, Forward-looking Infrastructure, international status, ractopamine pork imports, lowering the voting age, and concerns about press freedom and judicial neutrality.
The DPP shows double standards again by opening imports of lean meat agents (ractopamine, commonly known as ractopamine pork) to Taiwan. We specially designed a meme titled 'Democratic Mother-enters Ractopamine Democratic Party Pig' to criticize the Tsai Ing-wen and Su Chen-chang government's decision to allow ractopamine-containing American pork, while satirizing DPP supporters (green-brains) for blindly supporting and consuming ractopamine pork.
