The blue-white attack on Taiwan

We have now moved into the new year, and Taiwan has mounting challenges both external and internal. Evidently, even with the fresh start of the opening days of 2025, little is going to change.

According to a new poll, President William Lai’s (賴清德) approval rating is more than 50 percent, and the Democratic Progressive Party’s (DPP) approval rating is evenly matched with that of the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) and the Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) opposition.

Despite this, the KMT and the TPP are saying that together they represent the majority of the public, and in the Legislative Yuan continue to force through votes, pass legislation aimed at accumulating more power for the legislature, and propose controversial legislation, prioritizing this over legislation designed to help ordinary Taiwanese or the government’s annual budget.

Mike Pompeo visit a wake-up call

Although former US secretary of state Mike Pompeo — known for being the most pro-Taiwan official to hold the post — is not in the second administration of US president-elect Donald Trump, he has maintained close ties with the former president and involved himself in think tank activities, giving him firsthand knowledge of the US’ national strategy.

On Monday, Pompeo visited Taiwan for the fourth time, attending a Formosa Republican Association’s forum titled “Towards Permanent World Peace: The Shared Mission of the US and Taiwan.”

At the event, he reaffirmed his belief in Taiwan’s democracy, liberty, human rights and independence, highlighting a direct path for the nation’s future.

TPP’s Huang’s disregard for law

Since he was released on bail, former Taipei mayor Ko Wen-je (柯文哲) has not publicly urged his former secretary Hsu Chih-yu (許芷瑜) to return to Taiwan to clarify details about the corruption scandal he faces. Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) Acting Chairman Huang Kuo-chang (黃國昌) has not called for her to return either.

The TPP only shouts about judicial persecution while disregarding the law. As a legislator himself, Huang is leading the TPP’s young supporters to challenge the seriousness of the judiciary.

The ‘Fu Dongju’ plan of Ko Wen-je

The indictment documents in former Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je’s (柯文哲) four legal cases include a “Fu Dongju [傅冬菊] ruse.” The plan primarily focused on the Taiwan People’s Party’s (TPP) enthusiastic wooing of children of Taiwanese politicians and economic elites. So who was Fu and have TPP supporters ever heard of her or acknowledged this plan?

Fu was a reporter for the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) People’s Daily, among other CCP newspapers, writing under the pen-name Fu Dong (傅冬). She was the eldest daughter of Fu Zuoyi (傅作義), the Chinese Nationalist Party’s (KMT) commander in charge of the suppression campaign to root out the CCP in northern China in the late 1940s.

Fu Dongju was an undercover agent and member of the CCP.

Newsflash

The ruckus surrounding Premier Wu Den-yih’s (吳敦義) Hong Kong trip continued to escalate yesterday as the Democratic Progressive Party accused President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) and Wu of lying about the reasons for Wu’s trip, urging them to tell the truth.

“Wu’s Sept. 5 trip to Hong Kong pertains not only to his allegiance to the country, but also to the honesty of the leader of our country,” DPP spokesman Chao Tien-lin (趙天麟) told a news conference. “We therefore hope that Wu and President Ma will clearly explain everything to the public.”
