Cheng Li-wun Can't Meet Any Officials but Still Won't Leave the US

KMT legislator Cheng Li-wun recently visited the United States, but failed to meet with officials from the U.S. National Security Council or the AIT during her trip, which has sparked attention. The program analyzes Cheng's experience during this visit, the evaluations from various circles regarding her pro-CCP stance, and explores issues such as the international situation, Taiwan's defense budget, and security risks in the UK and South Asia.

Welcome to "Hard-Hitting News," I am your host Stan. Welcome everyone. Can you see the screen? Can you hear the sound? Today we are going to chat about the various events that have happened recently, and this is our weekly scheduled live stream. Please let me know if you can see things, if there are any issues, and I will bring up our chat room so I can see it more clearly and respond to everyone properly. Recently, I've been quite busy, so will this week's video be released today? Because our update frequency for "Hard-Hitting News" is two videos per week, plus irregular short videos and one live stream. There will be one later tonight, because I've done quite a lot of homework over the past few days regarding the propaganda that the CCP is currently doing—well, they are always doing propaganda. This operation is called "paperwall," which is about how they use fake media that looks like Western media to conduct the CCP's propaganda, and how they brainwash not just search engines—it's not just people being brainwashed, search engines are being brainwashed, and AI is being brainwashed too. Because of these CCP operations, I've researched quite a lot of things, and that's what this video is about. I will release it to everyone later, so there is a slight delay this week, but at the same time, we also need to pay attention to the various events that have happened recently in Taiwan and the United States.

Today's topic is KMT Chairman Johnny Chiang, but it relates to him because everyone knows how terrible that person is. Furthermore, he is currently in the United States. I remember those pro-unification people were saying one by one that he might meet Trump, or he might meet this official or that official. However, in the end, he didn't meet anyone. He did meet some members of Congress, but members of Congress—I could meet them too. The threshold to meet a member of Congress is not high, and it depends on whether they want to see you. Currently, the person Johnny Chiang met is Senator Dan Sullivan, who is very pro-Taiwan, and he met Johnny Chiang just to slap him in the face. How did he do that? He said that the KMT should cooperate with the DPP to pass the defense budget immediately. So, the Americans are very clear about this. Dan Sullivan, that guy from Alaska, is someone who strongly supports Taiwan, so he thought, 'Fine, since you, the KMT Chairman, are here, I will tell you what we in the U.S. want: we hope Taiwan can properly protect itself.' Therefore, all these 'peace theories' and such—he doesn't believe any of them. He didn't meet with any administration officials; he was originally supposed to meet with the National Security Council, but it was canceled at the last minute. Why was it canceled? And what's funny is that he was supposed to meet with the National Security Council, then it was canceled, and there was a contingency plan for him to meet with the AIT, because the AIT is also a U.S. policy-making unit with officials, but he couldn't meet them either; that was also canceled, and they didn't want to see Johnny Chiang anymore. So you see, some people say, 'I can't meet members of Congress.' Members of Congress can be scheduled; you can meet them. If you can't meet Lin Jun-hsien, then make an appointment; make an appointment with his office. If you are his constituent, what are you talking about? Right, this is not difficult. As long as it is a member of Congress from your district, you can meet them; people from outside can also meet them. Are there any events? Members of Congress are naturally very accessible. Right, it's not hard to meet them; I often interview people from various countries. Congress is, after all, composed of elected representatives. If you want to understand the ins and outs of a country and what the voters of each country are thinking, members of Congress are the first people you would contact. As for why the National Security Council canceled the meeting with Johnny Chiang, and why the AIT didn't want to see Johnny Chiang either, I think we can look at what his previous itinerary was. That is, after Johnny Chiang arrived in the U.S., he first went to participate in various United Front organization activities, then attended those banquets, and kept talking about his thoughts on meeting with Xi Jinping, saying 'Chairman Xi, Chairman Xi, Chairman Xi is so great, Chairman Xi is really incredible.'

Do you have anything to add, madam? Sure, the microphone is on, I see your microphone. Chairman Xi is very meticulous, he’s like a wave of heat coming out with joy, and Chairman Xi is simply extraordinary, Chairman Xi is very Xi. Right, I mean, look, they keep talking about Xi Jinping, they keep talking about opposing Taiwan independence, they keep talking about selling Taiwan’s sovereignty to the Chinese Communist Party, @@@ opposing the military of the Chinese Communist Party, using the US to oppose the US, so why should I meet with a politician who opposes the US? Moreover, you don’t represent the Taiwan government, you don’t even represent the parliament, and becoming the Kuomintang chairperson is also a joke. In fact, because of your position in the Kuomintang, you are also a parasite of the Kuomintang, because you weren’t even someone within that Kuomintang system to begin with. Basically, Zheng Liwen has such a big say, and Zheng Liwen became the Kuomintang chairperson all because of Xi Jinping. Without the pro-communist faction pushing from behind, she wouldn't be able to become chairperson. Moreover, those old foxes in the Kuomintang all look down on her. Chao Shao-kang looks down on her, Han Kuo-yu looks down on her, Lu Shiow-yen looks down on her, and even Ma Ying-jeou, the ultimate representative of the pro-communist faction, looks down on her. Because to be honest, with a traitor's betrayal, either you betray once in a lifetime, or you betray zero times, or you betray an infinite number of times. And Zheng Liwen belongs to that infinite-times type of betrayal, because she betrayed Taiwan, she betrayed the Democratic Progressive Party, she betrayed herself, she betrayed her own country, and then sold the country to the communist spies, sold it to the Chinese communists, so she is this kind of traitor, and on top of that, she is very incompetent. Her English is not good; I saw that when she was in the US, she was with someone, she always brought an interpreter, she always communicated with Americans through an interpreter, @@@ she can't even speak English, @@@ and yet she keeps trying to whitewash herself to look so lofty. Visiting a library, taking a photo in front of the library, and then claiming this is some kind of exceptional treatment, very good treatment. Americans look down on her, Taiwanese look down on her even more, and even the Kuomintang looks down on her, yet the Chinese Communist Party loves her. The Chinese Communist Party simply loves this kind of pathetic incompetence the most. The more incompetent a person is, the more the Chinese Communist Party likes them. So Zheng Liwen is a representative of incompetence—incompetent, and nobody looks up to her—and then she gets treated like that when she goes to the US, right? That is, nobody wants to meet her, officials didn't want to meet her, everything got canceled, and yet she still lingers in the US and refuses to leave. So why did she go to the US? Why did she waste money going to the US? And then wasting everyone's time and everyone's attention, and in the end, all she could do was visit a library. Back then, seriously, she took a photo with that photo of President Kennedy in the library, saying, "I'm so awesome, I'm even more awesome!" Over there at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California, I even shook hands—well, there is a statue of Reagan there, and I shook hands with the statue. She said Jiang Wanan is incompetent, but Chiang Wan-an is more capable than her. Chiang Wan-an speaks good English, and Chiang Wan-an has actually worked as a lawyer in the US and has the qualifications. Chiang Wan-an has never betrayed the Kuomintang, you know? He has always been a member of the Kuomintang; he is much more capable than Zheng Liwen. I don't like Chiang Wan-an, I think anyone from the Kuomintang is bad, but we are just speaking objectively: Zheng Liwen is the worst kind. Right, isn't she just going sightseeing? Right, it feels like she's just going sightseeing, and besides, oh, first she went into the mountains, then flew to Boston, eating here and eating there, and talking about how great Xi Jinping is down there, how extraordinary he is, and then—even got challenged by Chinese people. But have you noticed one thing? She praises China over there, but people who truly understand China—people who escaped from China—protest wherever she goes, and wherever she goes they tell her, "Do not sell out Taiwan." Because for Chinese people who actually understand the system of the Chinese Communist Party, Taiwan is a beacon of hope. That means I know quite a few anti-communist Chinese people, and they also support Taiwan's sovereignty and independence. Some of them will tell you that seeing a Chinese-speaking democratic country makes them feel very proud. So for them, Taiwan is the last hope, right? They have a country in Asia that also speaks Chinese, also possesses Chinese culture, @@@ and is a very developed democratic society, which makes them very happy. Even though these people live in the US or other countries in Europe, seeing someone like Zheng Liwen—who had such a hard time escaping from that Chinese Communist country—seeing someone from Taiwan, a place with hard-earned democracy and freedom, trying to sell this country to the Chinese Communist Party, they who escaped with such difficulty feel disgusted. So, looking at these things, I think Zheng Liwen can be described with one word: pathetic. This is truly pathetic. Moreover, when she went to meet with Congress, everyone also told her that she needs to pass the defense budget. To be honest, expecting Zheng Liwen to pass the defense budget is also wrong, because she fundamentally doesn't even have any influence within the Kuomintang. Can she order Fu Kun-chi around? Can she order Han Kuo-yu around? Can she order those old foxes like Ma Ying-jeou around? Can she order Lo Chih-chiang around? She can't order any of them around. So she is someone who is treated as an outsider everywhere she goes. And the only reason she has those treatments—the only reason she managed to go to the US—is simply because she met with Xi Jinping. But to the United States, to the United States, why would I bother talking to you about anything? Wouldn't it be much better if I just talked directly to Xi Jinping? If I want to hear Zheng Liwen's stance, don't I just need to listen directly to what Xi Jinping has to say to know it? Then what is the meaning of your existence, Zheng Liwen? What is the meaning of your coming to the US, Zheng Liwen? There is none. An incompetent person who is looked down upon all over the world goes to the US and visits a library—how pitiful. Han Kuo-yu said it's pitiful, but I say it's pathetic, utterly pathetic, truly pathetic.

Just as General Yu Bei said, she is just an at-large chairperson. Exactly, because she has no voters behind her. When she meets any—you know, generally speaking, any Taiwanese legislator going to the US, or any Taiwanese mayor going to the US, like Mayor Lu or Chiang Wan-an, the reception protocol is much higher because they belong to the KMT. But no matter what, they have voters behind them. Chiang Wan-an has the people of Taipei behind him, Lu Shiow-yen has the people of Taichung behind her, and what does Cheng Li-wun have? Just Xi Jinping and a few CCP members, that's what exists behind Cheng Li-wun. Behind Cheng Li-wun are Kuo Cheng-liang and Guan Chang, just a bunch of clowns. Who cares about you? Who cares about you? An at-large representative, yes, exactly. I think General Yu's remark makes sense; if she puts it that way, I agree. An at-large representative is... well, even an at-large representative, you know, still has party votes behind them. Cheng Li-wun doesn't even have those party votes; behind her is a complete void. When she meets those legislators, especially senators—senators have votes from a state, representatives have votes from their districts—they are truly representatives. She is just trying to win over pro-communist overseas Chinese. And honestly, those pro-communist overseas Chinese aren't even Taiwanese anymore; they probably haven't even spent time in Taiwan. You know, they have no real influence on Taiwan, but instead, it shows the US that the KMT is still colluding with the Communist Party and criminal syndicates, like that guy from the Fujian Green Gang—not the Shanghai Green Gang, Shanghai is someone else, I mean the Fujian Green Gang—whose car followed right behind hers. Also, as even Sean Lien's show mentioned, when she was in Boston, there was a banquet, @@@ and right next to her was Gary YU, Gary YU, this guy Gary YU is a United Front Work Department official. And this United Front Work Department official gave Wu Mi, their mayor—a pro-communist mayor—over 300,000 USD. Of course, some hardline reunification supporters say Wu Mi emphasizes he is Taiwanese, so that's just an excuse to climb up. Because people like Wu Mi aren't really Taiwanese anymore. Their families... just like that someone in California, Liao or whatever, there is a congressman in Southern California who also says he is of Taiwanese descent, but basically he is just a transit station. For his family, Taiwan was just a transit station, because really, Wu Mi or that—oh god, that guy surnamed Liao, who is that? Hold on, let me check for everyone. CALIFORNIA, CALIFORNIA CONGRESSMAN, is it Liao? Ted Lieu, right, Ted Lieu from the 36th District. Ted Lieu, where is California 36? California 36, Ted Lieu, South Bay, right, it's the Bay Area, Northern California, not Southern California. Northern California, sorry. Ted Lieu in the US, because calling himself Chinese might face some unnecessary challenges, so people like Wu Mi and Ted Lieu, they all say they are of Taiwanese descent. But basically, weren't they born in Taiwan? Their family members probably only stayed in Taiwan for like 11 years, just, you know, fleeing to Taiwan with the KMT, and after staying in Taiwan for a long time, maybe fleeing to the US around the August 23 Artillery Bombardment or the severance of US-Taiwan diplomatic relations. Their children were already born in the US, yet those people still claim they are Taiwanese and American. But are they Taiwanese? If their parents only lived in Taiwan for like 10 years, are they Taiwanese? I think they're KMT affiliated, but they're not Taiwanese, they're not as related to Taiwan as they want to be. If you listen to Ted Liao's Chinese, he sounds like a mainlander. He doesn't have, he even doesn't have a Taiwanese accent. I don't think he speaks Taiwanese at all. That is to say, you know? This is a group of people, right, that kind of Republic of China crowd. Why do I say this Republic of China thing is a disaster for Taiwan? Does it only bring disaster to Taiwan? It's a regime that has fundamentally nothing to do with the country of Taiwan, and even after democratizing, it still hasn't purged many of its lingering poisons, which also increases national security risks for Taiwan. So even now we hear people like Hsu Chiao-hsin saying, oh,

And then, Wu Yin-ning allegedly took 300,000 USD from the United Front Work Department, and is currently under investigation. This investigation is actually related to China, but when it is convenient, they call themselves Taiwanese Americans. But are they really Taiwanese Americans? I think such people could be called Republic of China-descended Americans, not Taiwanese-descended; they are of Republic of China descent. If we really want to make a clear distinction—that Chinese people come from the People's Republic of China—then they are of Republic of China descent, not Taiwanese descent, because they basically have nothing to do with Taiwan. Those people generally also tend to like the Kuomintang very much, or even like people like Cheng Li-wun, yes.

Let me take a look at everyone's comments. I also want to tell everyone that in early July, I will be in the United States for 10 days because there are two major conferences—Taiwanese community conferences—one in Pennsylvania and one in San Diego. I will be attending both. I will be speaking about the cognitive warfare waged by the Chinese Communist Party specifically targeting Taiwan. Taiwanese compatriots invited me, and this time it's in two places, one in Pennsylvania and one in San Diego. When I gave a speech in Northern California last time, let me share a secret, though it's not really a secret: my speech originally had over 100 people signed up, and in the end, about 60-odd people showed up. Why 60-odd? Because about 40-odd of them lean more toward the Blue camp, perhaps anti-communist Blue—there are quite a few anti-communist Blue friends after all. Then, the Kuomintang people over there started calling them one by one, saying, "Oh, you can't go to Stein's speech." This is for real. The infiltration situation over there is like that. And I know that CCP people went to listen; I know CCP people showed up, and later I asked the organizers—they are from the CCP, really? But they couldn't stop them because of freedom of speech, so everyone just knew they were from the CCP, and you can just go ahead and listen.

So if everyone thinks that the content produced by News Rigid (xinwen yingbangbang) is excellent, good, and something you like, I strongly recommend that you support our channel because we are independent, and we are also competing with large media outlets. Recently, the algorithm has also been very unfriendly, and all kinds of state machinery—those from the Chinese Communist State alongside some bizarre state machinery—are all suppressing the traffic of independent media. This is truly very difficult. And I think when it comes to international news, we also bring the latest information to everyone. So if you like the content of News Rigid and think it's good, please support us a lot, give us small donations if you can, and if your financial situation doesn't permit it, you can also watch my videos more often and let the ads run. In short, if you think my stuff is good, watch it as much as you can, because I haven't set up any membership tiers or anything like that where content is only visible to members. Everything I produce is for everyone to see, for everyone to watch together. At the same time, regarding our articles, our submissions to international media will continue. My previous submission was successfully published in The Washington Times, and there will be another one—there is another one currently being discussed with their editors regarding the related visit by Cheng Li-wun. So we are speaking up for Taiwan, and at the same time letting Taiwanese people know about the big and small events happening internationally.

People shouldn't even be afraid of ghosts; as long as you aren't embarrassed, the embarrassed ones are others. Cheng Li-wun is a typical representative of this. But I think, yes, she is shameless, but you know what? I think how Americans, how U.S. officials slap her in the face—can she see all of that? Can she see it very clearly? Dawang An mentioned here that the red-unification churches near her workplace don't even let people go. Oh really? Yes, churches are also infiltrated by that—they are also infiltrated, also infiltrated. The Chinese Communist Party, you know? It also bans religion; it bans you from having faith. It only allows you to believe in the Communist Party and believe in Xi Jinping. At the same time, they also want to infiltrate all kinds of church activities—meaning they don't even allow people with faith to have faith. If you live abroad, I will infiltrate even your church; I won't even allow you to have normal religious beliefs.

John Joe 1985 wrote: Yes, indeed, my cousin was given a hard time at customs, and my wife was also given a hard time when applying for a residence permit in Poland. Moreover, Polish people are basically all pro-Taiwan, meaning they know Taiwan is a country of democracy and freedom, they are pro-Taiwan, and they know Formosa, but nobody knows ROC. Nobody knows ROC, what is ROC? What the hell is that? Nobody knows what ROC means. Uh, but anyway, everyone knows Taiwan, and everyone also knows Formosa, Formosa, uh, but anyway, when my wife and I were applying for that address registration, you know, the thing that every Taiwanese person living overseas has to do, which is registering an address, and then when applying for that residence permit, uh, customs came to our house to see if we were really living here, and then looked at my wife's passport and said, "In your application form, you wrote your nationality as Taiwan, why does your passport say China?" This was before I had the new version of that passport, but it had that ROC stuff, blah blah blah, you know? In the end, because of this political harassment, I found a lawyer, and the lawyers were corresponding with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs even issued a clarification stating that ROC means this, that you should write Taiwan resident, and the country code is TWN, so it shouldn't be written that you are Chinese. So Poland—the Polish government is also very clear about this. But Taiwan also needs to get its own act together, holding onto that corpse of the ROC, that zombie, you know? I think everyone has seen that Japanese horror movie, I think this metaphor is great, I forgot what that horror movie is called, but its storyline is that someone—anyway, well, I don't know if people will watch that movie, Spoiler alert, which means there will be spoilers, meaning the ending is that the male protagonist always has that female ghost right behind him, like this on his back, everyone should have seen this movie, it's a classic, right? That Japanese horror movie. And Taiwanese people are very much like that, like the male protagonist of this horror movie, carrying a ghost on their back, even a corpse, an ROC, the corpse of a regime that actually no longer exists, carried on their own back, and yet they are unwilling to say—just like the Taiwanese song sings, "My mother's name is Taiwan," "My mother's name is Taiwan," you know? "My mother's name is Taiwan," because the Republic of China has no sovereignty over Taiwan whatsoever, the sovereignty of Taiwanese people belongs to Taiwan, so Taiwan should gradually eliminate anything related to China. That way, you won't be troubled or given a hard time internationally, and the Chinese Communist Party won't use Cold War narratives against the Taiwanese people either, Cold War narratives. That ghost, you shouldn't carry that ghost on your back, really don't carry it on your back anymore. Corpses must be buried properly, otherwise the living will also fall ill, the living will also fall ill. The Chinese Communist Party has already erected a tombstone for the Republic of China, and the Taiwanese people should also embrace their own Taiwan.

Yeah, is it Shutter? Is it Shutter? I don't remember. Was that horror movie Thai? OK OK OK OK, fine, maybe it was a Thai movie, OK, maybe, but that movie is a classic, that's the ghost being carried on the back. OK OK, excuse me, I watched it a long time ago, yeah, it seems it was even remade into an American version, it seems there's an American version. ROC go to Kinmen and Matsu? I think the ROC doesn't even need to go to Kinmen and Matsu. Kinmen and Matsu are actually also ghost shadows of Taiwanese people's sovereignty, I suppose, I don't remember the name. You have to look at this thing; Taiwan is currently maintaining Kinmen and Matsu. To the Taiwanese people, Kinmen and Matsu also have a function, because what is it that challenges Taiwan? What challenges Taiwan's regime is the Chinese Communist Party, the People's Republic of China. If the Chinese Communist Party wants to invade Taiwan, it will definitely start from Kinmen and Matsu, and at that time Kinmen and Matsu will perform their function, you know? Meaning the front line, the front line protecting Taiwan, whether it can be defended or not is unknown, but you cannot easily hand it away. Right now, it's a place in the same camp, why would you throw it away? That's not smart, that is truly not smart. Kinmen and Matsu are the only legitimate territory of the Republic of China according to the constitution, and that constitution is also a ghost constitution, a zombie constitution. In fact, the Constitution of the Republic of China is also useless and not being implemented; I even feel that Taiwan doesn't even need a constitution. Taiwan's actual life is already like—because there are many countries without constitutions, like Israel, Sweden, and Britain, which are countries without constitutions. You have criminal law, civil law, you have those legal codes, and you just live your life according to those codes, and Taiwan is the same now, Taiwan is already like this. Therefore, I think about rectifying names and promulgating a constitution; I think rectifying names and abolishing the constitution is also fine, you know? You can do without it, I feel there's no need for it, because it is already a constitution that is not used, not being utilized. Ghost Shadow, Shutter, right right right right, it seems it's called Shutter, the Thai one, right right right right, that's the one, right right right right, exactly, exactly, what you said is right, that's the one.

And then, but you have to think, what are those KMT bad guys doing? When Cheng Li-wun was stood up in the U.S. and went to a library to take photos, don't you think the Blue camp is ridiculous? Does Ko Wen-je go to parks? Then Huang Kuo-chang goes to rooftops, and Cheng Li-wun goes to libraries—no matter how you look at it, my god, just go sightseeing if you want to sightsee. The U.S. is fun; everyone likes to go to the U.S. for sightseeing. You can go to Universal Studios; Universal Studios is there in LA, it's also very fun. You can also go to that Harry Potter village, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, you know? It's very fun. You can go to SeaWorld in San Diego to see sea lions and seals; that's fine. But don't claim to be something you're not. You carry a Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) membership card, so just go to the Reagan Library if you want; that's fine, but I think the Reagan Library is more fun, and Nixon's library is also not bad.

Someone wrote that the UK is being messed up by immigrants, and the Northern Ireland issue is also very big. Yes, yes, recently there has been. Actually, there are a few in the UK, like that Henry Novak, he was Polish, the one who was killed, the one who was stabbed with a knife, and it turned out he was the one who was supposed to be arrested by the police, but he was the one killed. He was Polish, he had dual citizenship, and Balan is quite a Polish surname. And recently there was also one in Northern Ireland, also directly in broad daylight, just directly killed; this is very terrifying. As everyone knows my background, right? I support immigration; I think a country needs immigrants and also needs talent, especially those with very low fertility rates, but you have to screen them. I don't think any country needs immigrants who will take knives and slash people. The immigrants needed are those who work hard, are willing to integrate, are willing to learn the language, and are willing to contribute to the country. That is the kind of immigrant everyone needs. Poland also has quite a lot of immigrants, and those immigrants are all very well-behaved. You have to screen them. For a period of time in the UK, I think this was the biggest problem with their Brexit. They said you did Brexit to oppose immigration, fine, but then the people from Europe stopped coming, and what came instead? Those who came were the ones who take knives and slash people. Isn't that even worse? When they were in the EU, the EU's outer borders could help you guard some of them, but now that's gone. They all come from—you know? France doesn't care about them either; they just have those small rubber boats and go directly to the UK. I think it's quite terrifying. I am quite familiar with the environment in the UK; didn't I study in the UK while working part-time? There is a problem there, there really is a problem, and it needs proper control; it really needs proper control. But I think the left-leaning problem in the UK is also quite serious because when you question immigration, they will say you are racist. It's not that; it's a matter of safety. And even if we set aside issues like religious countries or racial systems, when you go to a country, you have to be screened; your country's safety still needs to be protected. Of course, there are refugees, but most of those coming to the UK are not refugees; they are economic immigrants, just wanting to live a better life. That's not impossible, but please follow the process, apply, pay the required fees, and after passing the screening, then go to the UK, work, and earn money. Why should the rights of legal immigrants be trampled upon, and then illegal immigrants get to do this?

Cheng Li-wun is like—Cheng Li-wun is like overstaying in the U.S. You could say she's like an illegal immigrant, but I think her strategy is also wrong. Look, even the National Security Council didn't want to meet her. If Cheng Li-wun went to the U.S. and started saying, 'I met Xi Jinping in China, and he wants to annex us, and he wants to use the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) to infiltrate and seize power, and make Taiwan a part of the CCP state,' I believe the Americans would be willing to listen and would say, 'Okay, we'll find a way to help you.' If you just tell the truth, we would be willing to help you. Thanks for the donation, thanks to Wu Rong-shan for the donation. But she didn't; she went to the U.S. to scold the U.S. She went to the U.S., went to someone else's home, and scolded them, while constantly praising Xi Jinping. Then why should I pay attention to you? Why should I pay attention to you? Why should I pay attention to you?

I want to share some good news with everyone regarding our channel: my recent articles concerning the propaganda war of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) have been successfully published in The Washington Times. I am quite close with the chairman of The Washington Times; he is a good friend of mine, and our families are close friends as well. They are currently promoting the security and freedom of Taiwan through a 'Free Taiwan' initiative, aiming to rally many Taiwanese expatriates in the U.S. and deepen ties and cooperation with Taiwan. Furthermore, while you may have heard of The Washington Post, which leans left, The Washington Times is conservative and is a media outlet that President Trump reads, so it is quite influential. They have previously collaborated well with the Kuma Academy on issues regarding Taiwan's civil defense. Therefore, information about Taiwan will become increasingly prevalent in the U.S. in the future. I will also do my part here by writing and publishing as much as I can, so that the U.S. understands that the CCP's propaganda is pervasive and omnipresent. Recently, there have been major protests in the U.K., but I feel it is useless; what is sad is that it is futile unless they can truly oust the Labour government through elections and bring the Conservative Party back to power. You have to consider that they have recently banned many European conservative political figures from entering the U.K., such as our friend Dominik Tarczyński, a Member of the European Parliament from the Law and Justice Party, and an Italian woman from the Brothers of Italy party—both were denied entry into the U.K. It is absurd that people from democratic nations are not allowed to enter, and they are out there protesting.

During the protests, they are using facial recognition technology directly, and I feel that the issues of excessive law enforcement and selective policing in the U.K. are currently very severe. When you criticize their government, you get labeled on Twitter and face harassment. It is regrettable; it feels like Starmer—that is, Keir Starmer—has led the British government toward self-destruction since the Labour Party took power. The Australian Labor Party is also messing up Australia, but I like the Liberal Party of Australia. I like the Liberal Party of Australia and know some friends within it. I believe that countries around the world should return to conservatism—the normal path of capitalist conservatism—so that we can be safe. Yes.

And right, another piece of news: now after meeting with Cheng Li-wun, Xi Jinping went to North Korea, went to North Korea to meet Kim Jong Un, and then also kept emphasizing the need to deepen exchanges and communication. We need to look at the issue of the Kim dynasty, because this thing is also slightly related to the recent protests in South Korea. First of all, I have never seen Xi Jinping so happy; it has been a long time since I saw that kind of smile from Xi Jinping—so radiant, you know? Look at this, he and Kim Jong Un watching that performance together, an Xi Jinping who is so happy, I think no one has ever seen him like this, I really do. And then, although they want to increase exchanges and cooperation, Xi Jinping once again showed that he has a grip on North Korea. But, I think from North Korea's standpoint, they no longer hold hope for South Korea, meaning they have basically canceled the line of reunification, right? Meaning they will no longer walk the path toward reunification with South Korea; that exists, right? And they also don't want to rely too heavily on China, though it's hard to break away. When Xi Jinping went to North Korea, he could also heave a sigh of relief. Pyongyang, North Korea, should be the place in the whole world where he feels the most relaxed, and he also hopes that China can become like North Korea. Because actually, looking at the long term, I am quite optimistic about China, I am quite optimistic about the Chinese people. Because in fact, look, even the recent protests in Chongqing—when you see animals being abused, dogs being abused, it can make people take to the streets to protest. This shows that in terms of moral concepts, human rights demands and appeals, and literacy, the Chinese people are making progress. The Chinese people, I believe, have also had enough of Xi Jinping, and the majority of people also know what is happening. This is happening, and they will also silently mourn June Fourth, and hope to live in a normal country. Because their education level has also become higher, civic demands are slowly coming up, and they have also been abroad, circumventing the Great Firewall, and understanding life abroad, and they also hope that China can normalize. They are also asking: Xi Jinping, what right does he have? What right does someone who doesn't read, a rustic bumpkin, a pighead, you know, someone who can't even speak Chinese properly, who can't even speak his own mother tongue properly—what right does he have to lead such a big country? Normal Chinese people would all ask this question. Therefore, I think in the long term, in the long term, regarding the Russian dictator Putin and China's dictator Xi Jinping, I think at most they have another 10 years left, because in terms of their population, they are not bellicose people. The average age is also rising, and in Russia there are more women than men, while in China there are more men than women, but there are many old people. An aging society is not going to make you bellicose. As for the future of the world, I think right now is the most dangerous time for China, meaning the time when China poses the highest risk to the whole world. Therefore, at this time Taiwan needs to be especially nervous, Taiwan needs to be especially careful. But in another 11 years, China will be on a downward trend. What everyone really needs to worry about in another 11 years is South Asia—Pakistan, Bangladesh—the rise of these countries, because of extreme religion, and many young people, and the literacy there is not so high. And you have to think, many people are talking about Islam-related terrorist organizations and related terrorists. You need to pay attention to one thing: the majority are not... meaning that while Islam is a Middle Eastern religion, Islam is actually not a Middle Eastern religion, because the majority of Muslims do not live in the Middle East. Islam is an Asian religion; the world's largest Muslim country is Indonesia. India remains to be seen; Indian society is very complicated. I think Pakistan's problem is bigger, and Bangladesh's problem is also very big, because in the UK, those who engage in killing, gangs, and sexual assaults against women are mostly from Pakistan, mostly from Pakistan. This is something to worry about, this is something to be careful about. Therefore, in the future, I think regarding the security risks to the world order—to speak the plain truth—11 or 20 years from now, it won't be China and it won't be Russia, it will be South Asia. Right now Russia is still dangerous because of the nuclear weapons issue, its invasion of Ukraine, and so on; these 11 years are critical, and China in these 11 years is also critical. But once this period passes, if they don't stir up any weird stuff, they will gradually normalize, because people will grow old, and they don't have children, so their population will also become smaller and smaller, and thus they won't be so bellicose. But South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Africa—these problems will be a bit bigger. But that is a digression.

When we talk about North Korea and China, Kim Jong-un also wants to meet with Xi Jinping for security guarantees. He originally thought Putin could protect him, but now Putin doesn't seem very capable anymore, and their war of aggression against Ukraine has hit a bottleneck. Even Crimea has been severely attacked recently. Therefore, in the future, I feel that the Russia-Ukraine war—that is, Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine—will likely end this year; the probability of it ending this year is very high because Putin is already looking for a way out, riding a tiger and trying to dismount. He has found that things are unsustainable, that he can no longer keep fighting with people constantly dying and unable to advance, while Ukraine's casualties are actually much lower than Russia's, and with drones, the technology they've mastered is also very strong. Therefore, in protecting itself, Taiwan should learn from Ukraine's tactics with uncrewed surface vessels and drones; this is a very good approach. Lai Ching-te's promotion of the drone budget is a very correct move. However, because there are traitors like Cheng Li-wen, spineless and incompetent traitors who sell out Taiwan to the Chinese Communist Party, this initiative has been blocked. Thus, the situation is tense, but in the long run, it is optimistic. These are probably the topics I wanted to share with everyone today.

Regarding that action by Zhiqiang, I will post a video later. It will be spectacular, I guarantee it. Taiwan's politics are relatively quiet this time. Looking at the trends in Taiwan's politics, I find it quite cold; the biggest issue is Zheng Liwen. Then, whether Iran will end the war is also a major question. Trump keeps saying they will, but I have to put a question mark here. He has already said it thirty-some times, claiming an agreement is almost reached, almost reached. We will just have to wait and see. As for aliens, I saw a photo of Trump with aliens, and those aliens all looked like Stan. Has anyone seen that photo? It was just long-haired Stan meeting with Trump, looking like Nordic people. It's funny, just a joke for everyone. Last week, while I was eating lunch during my break, I heard two 'grass' (supporters of Ko Wen-je) talking about those American far-right things, saying the US is just bullying others. I said to them, 'Grandpa is a cult, you're great.' Grandpa is indeed a cult, right? Grandpa is a cult. Do the 'grass' not read? As for fake right-wingers in the US, are you talking about Candace Owens or Tucker Carlson? These two should be the most typical, or maybe just these two. There is another one like this, half-Russian leaning. Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson are the most obvious for spreading fake news. They aren't right-wing either. I think Ben Shapiro described them well, saying they are 'the new left.' I think that fits better; they aren't right-wing. Alex Jones, I think MTG, Nick Fuentes... Nick Fuentes is a Democrat, right? He even said himself he would vote for the Democrats. Nick Fuentes said he wants that. And you know what? The Democratic Party is also thoroughly pushing Nazis lately. In Minnesota, they are pushing someone named Gran Plattner, and that Gran Plattner has a Totenkopf—that's the death's head—tattooed on his chest. You know, it's a total Nazi propaganda machine, the Democratic Party itself. On one hand, they say Trump is a Nazi, and on the other, they push a guy like Gran Plattner. Damn, I think Alex Jones is a lunatic. Alex Jones is a lunatic, but he probably isn't any kind of right-winger either. Infowars, he's a lunatic, yes, yes, he basically promotes Russian stuff. Tucker, Candace, Andrian Plotano—never seen him, I've never seen this person, I don't know who he is. Fuentes I know; he's that guy who is thoroughly racist, and he would vote for the Democrats. He also says he is a 'moderate democrat.' On one hand, he says this is 'America First,' and on the other, there's MTG. Is MTG an opportunist? Of course, she's a member of Congress. MTG at least has some voters behind her. Yes, they are anti-Semitic and support Nazis, that's right, that's right. These people are a big problem, but honestly speaking, they are 'the new left.' I strongly agree with what Ben Shapiro said; they are not right-wing, they are the new left. There was someone before, what was his name? An anti-communist opinion leader who called them 'woke right,' but I think they are just leftists. They are just left. We are... you know? If it walks like a dog, if it quacks like a dog, it's a dog, right? It's not woke, right? They're the left. They're just another shade of the left. They are left. Candace is left, Fuentes is left, Jones is also left, and Tucker is also left. It's that big-government ideology, anti-Semitism, racism, advocating for isolationism, and advocating for the maximization of government power. The true right-wing will talk to you about small government; the true right-wing will talk to you about traditional values, religious faith, and equality for all. That is what it is. James Lindsay, yes, James Lindsay. Oh my god, I forgot what it was called, James Lindsay, right? James Lindsay wrote about 'Woke Right.' He invented the term 'Woke Right,' but I think that's not 'Woke,' that's just 'Left.' There is no such thing as Woke Right. There is just the new left, or old left, or a different shade of left. Wolves in sheep's clothing, yes. The Communist Party is communist. Sheep in wolf's clothing is communist. So, one must be very careful with these things.

Honestly, who can you watch for US-related opinion leaders? You can watch Stan—if you want Chinese, watch Stan; if you want English, read Stan's articles, or watch the videos from Freedom is not free. As for me, who do I watch? I like Ben Shapiro, and I think Lumer is not bad either—a bit hardcore, but okay. Who else? Rubin, The Rubin Report, that's also not bad. And who else? Is Trigonometer British? The two of them are quite good; one is British, and the other is an Argentine-British, both British. They are pretty good. Who else? Crowder, Steven Crowder is also OK. Sometimes I don't agree with his views, but I think he is an honest person. That's who I watch. Otherwise, I read The Washington Times. Michael Knowles doesn't talk about international affairs; he focuses on Catholic and social issues. That guy, the one from What is a Woman, what's his name? Oh my god, I forgot their names. What is a Woman is by that guy, the one with the beard, the bearded man from their Daily Wire, Matt Walsh. They are all okay; they talk about social issues. Blaze Media, right, Blaze Media is OK. And that NGO, that's not bad; it seems it might be related to Rebel News. These are all OK. I watch Newsmax often; Newsmax is a bit more mainstream. Fox is not necessarily, but yeah, these are the people. These people are all quite good. For international affairs, I think Rubin is quite good, The Rubin Report. And I also watch Bannon, Steve Bannon, but he has to have something worth watching; some things you have to take with a grain of salt. He is a bit populist, but I think he is also relatively honest. I'll leave it at that.

Well, I think if you want to see whether someone is truly on the side of the United States and the democratic world, you have to look at a few things. First is their view on Israel; people who are anti-Israel basically all have problems, because Israel is the United States' most crucial ally in the Middle East. Second, whether they are pro-CCP, pro-Russia, or anti-Israel—if they hit all three of those, they are problematic, you know? So basically, being anti-communist, anti-Russian, and pro-Israel means that in international politics, if you hold these three stances, that's great. There are some things about Bannon that I don't agree with and cannot fully accept either, but Bannon is not part of the CCP overseas propaganda, nor has he been bought off; he has his own thoughts. Look at Lai Ching-te, you know he can meet with Trump. Clean nuclear energy—nuclear energy is indeed clean, I think nuclear energy is a good thing, but it has to be safe, meaning it has to be built safely. Lai Ching-te will talk to Trump about changes, and Trump might answer at any time; it just depends on when he wants it. Lai Ching-te also knows that there is no immediate necessity right now, and Trump makes phone calls directly to solve problems between each other directly. Isn't that great? So the left and right things are quite interesting. I also want to thank the Formosa Ho-Ho Association once again for their support. There is a conservative organization in Taiwan called the Formosa Ho-Ho Association, and they often talk about international news. I strongly recommend everyone to check out their website. That is basically all I want to talk about today. There are also many very good new media outlets in the US recently, and they are doing better and better. The US connived at the CCP's nuclear weapons—the CCP's nuclear weapons, the CCP's nuclear weapons—it didn't ask whether the US connived or not, and much of it comes from Soviet technology, so this is quite regrettable, quite regrettable. But regarding nuclear weapons, I feel the risk with Russia is a bit higher, because they have more nuclear warheads, more warheads, and currently, the bargaining chip for having weapons is nuclear weapons. But once used, it's direct annihilation; this country will be directly destroyed, so they wouldn't dare either. We will just wait and see. I think the Russia-Ukraine war has hope, meaning Ukraine might win soon, and the Iran issue might also be resolved soon, maybe resolved soon. And Taiwan? When these two conflicts cool down, Taiwan will also be safe, because the US can then focus all its attention on Taiwan. Vicky Orange wrote: Although war is bad, what we can see is that through the struggle between democracy and communism, so many democratic countries can actually achieve common prosperity. Let me tell you, war is bad, but there is a Latin saying: *Si vis pacem, para bellum*—that's the one Black Bear Academy uses as their own slogan. If you want peace, prepare for war. War is bad, but you just have to prepare for war, because bad people are just the same. Why do I support the right to bear arms? Because bad people all have guns, and good people need them too, because bad people are bellicose, so you also need to be prepared. Maybe they will attack you, so you need to buy weapons and prepare for war. When they see you are preparing for war, they won't fight you and won't dare to. This is the most basic thing, which is why national defense is needed. So that's roughly it. I will continue making videos, as there is quite a lot of content. This week is a bit colder, but I think the overall trend is pretty good, and I am very glad to see that the US side harbors no illusions whatsoever about Cheng Li-wen. The US knows very well; Cheng Li-wen, don't treat Americans like idiots. In fact, the US understands very thoroughly what is happening in Taiwan right now. So, go US, go Taiwan, and thank you everyone for watching. We will continue to promote our democracy and our freedom. Thank you everyone. We've chatted for an hour, which is about enough. Alright, I'm going to log off.
