Terrorist Attack in Poland; Increasing Global Attention on Taiwan, IPAC Summit

This episode mainly discusses the serious terrorist attack that occurred in Poland, as well as related social security and radicalization phenomena. It also provides a detailed introduction to the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC) summit held at the Dutch Parliament. The program explores Taiwan's international visibility, diplomatic trends in various countries (such as changes in the relationship between Panama and Taiwan), warnings from think tanks regarding Chinese infiltration, and the impact of changes within the U.S. Democratic Party on the stance of support for Taiwan.

Hard-hitting news, the most satisfying news for you. I am your host, Stan, and welcome to the show. As you can see from my background, I am still abroad, very busy, and also actively helping everyone. I am actually checking out in half an hour, and I will, of course, continue to be here for the time being. We also need to talk about the recent changes across the EU. At the same time, we are introducing small-amount donation methods, because only with your support can we keep going. And regarding international news, for the broadcast part, okay, good. Today, we will first understand, because we are currently in Utrecht, that is, Taiwan and... this Taiwan. But the professor here in the Netherlands, he is an international politics expert, right? And also, how should the academic community be heard? Because he analyzes, and experts are the ones analyzing Taiwan, because Sinology is very much promoted, sometimes to let more people understand, that is, the panel, there were questions asked, it was quite great! Everyone can go watch this short video, so seriously, they are all very excellent.

...leaders, so they are very supportive of the Netherlands. And we were also harassed by the CCP yesterday, asking for some KMT person to finish speaking. But yesterday's [event] was not attended by [me] as a political figure, but as a professional to pay more attention to Taiwan's... Taiwanese diaspora... all of Europe's... matters. Because previously, my good friend, he made a video before, I... EU countries, and it seems that in Poland, there hadn't been a terrorist attack, but hasn't that changed? And I always recommend that you must go to Kraków; the capital is in Kraków, and even if the capital is there, it is also located in Kraków. The Royal Castle, and... it is very regrettable, the Mayor of Kraków, he was very brave and stopped him very quickly, avoiding more deaths. And later, as I just said, six people were... this... drove to this state, and he killed three people at his home first.

And it has been constantly updated. I must say, thank you very much to the police; the police performance was outstanding, and they were also very brave. As for the motives, because it naturally is, not a foreigner, not an immigrant—well, not a legal immigrant, nor an illegal immigrant, but a native-born Pole, born and raised in Poland, um. His name is, uh, you know, he has a lot of mental health issues, right? And of course, now with the Tusk government, the police are under their control, it was a direct terrorist attack, and he also took a photo with the rainbow flag, and then also with a red background, and the comment below was something like the Communist Party, and he said this is good, it seems he also shared Antifa stuff with Antifa, so both sides are involved. I feel that the Polish police are also quite irresponsible, meaning you have to tell the whole story, regardless of whether he is far-right or far-left. They are interested in both, and they both stand with the standpoint of these extremists, uh. He is twenty-four, twenty-five years old, some sources say twenty-four, some sources say twenty-five years old. Um, mainly, then it is very easy to be brainwashed. Well, we, uh, this is what I am talking about from the perspective of social science. Actually, I asked Wu Yi-nong about this question yesterday.

Okay, platforms like Facebook or X, all these things can be seen on them, that's one thing. What are the groups manipulated by the Chinese Communist Party doing on there? What is a closed group? People who play video games know about this website called Discord, right? Platforms that have these groups, some groups spread extremist speech, whether they are far-left, whether they are far-right, whether they are terrorists, whether they are any kind, they all participate in these. There was a report before that through Telegram, how the Russian government and Russian agents hired people, asking them to, for example, burn down a certain government unit. Or spray paint this place, or protest and demonstrate in this place, and then he will give them some money. This is checked through Telegram's social media, and then seeing how to dig out data from it, which is to put pressure on these companies, right? Because people are affected by extreme things happening.

However, mentally ill people are everywhere, and brainwashed people are also everywhere. Taiwan also has this, this also, also, also had it before, also, should, should probably be that the death toll might reach ten people, um, very terrifying. When these things happen, your country is there, everyone gets scared of Poland, dislikes it, and feels like they shouldn't go, and it becomes unsafe. Uh, this also depends on your police watching over it, so I ask everyone to rest assured. Well, Poland is also a big country, so these things are inevitable. We are now living in a place that will promptly report to everyone, uh, let everyone know to what extent this thing has developed, right? And currently it is very similar. They are all very similar, all of this is about erasing human nature, so, uh, they often accept left or right, maybe both. He admires Hitler at the same time, admires, admires the Dalai Lama at the same time, because he admires Mao Zedong at the same time, because this kid writes letters to them, or there are still some people who will be his copycat in the future. This also exists in Taiwan, so this time, this, and this, of course, part of the reason will certainly be in this kind of hateful education.

Well, let me look at everyone's comments; they are all full of hatred, mainly supporting the instigation of social turmoil. So, there is a reason why they paint him as right-wing. Is Tusk right-wing? Is Merkel right-wing? Well, definitely not. Uh, the police under Tusk, because they are currently competing against Nawrocki and the Polish government. These right-wing, traditionalist, and conservative factions will certainly use that. Even though there are those Antifa elements, and even though he once successfully blocked illegal immigration in Poland and supported Ukraine, people want to sabotage it. You know what? I think a lot of people are jealous of Poland, and many want to cause harm in Poland. But regarding this specific incident itself, this incident itself, I feel it's more like an individual case, a psychopath. I mean, we just think he's a psychopath, and every country in the world has them. So for a country, it's hard to—well, uh, finally, we have about ten minutes left, I want to tell everyone about IPAC, because this is extremely important. Uh, in the Netherlands, the Dutch Vice President also came. It was the first time in the European Parliament—well, effectively across the parliaments of 50 countries simultaneously, because they are all legislators from 40 or 50 countries, meaning members of parliament. And it was hosted locally in the Dutch parliament.

Uh, or, uh, Netherlands, here IPAC can be said to revolve around Taiwan, and I will put the entire debate up on my small channel, on that English channel—not one by one, but the entire next year's IPAC priorities, which issues and topics will be emphasized the most, and what directions efforts will be made toward. Actually, the people who voted this time all know this. They all know the importance of Taiwan. And I also know many members of parliament, and there are many wonderful differences. But those who love Taiwan and are willing to contribute to the Indo-Pacific region are all—all my friends. I have many friends who are Democrats, and the Democrats are the same, consistent. We all hope to do good for Taiwan, so whether you are a Democrat or a Republican, you can be my friend. Just don't be from the DSA, because the DSA hates Taiwan. There is, uh, a Republican who is a representative from Utah, and there is, uh, this, uh, Duncan from Nebraska, uh, Duncan Smith, one of the founders of IPAC, he is a former, uh, former leader of the British Conservative Party, now a conservative—he also talked a lot about how Taiwan, besides its high-tech contributions and contributions to the international community, also has very strong medical care and many other industries that contribute to the world. I feel he is a member of parliament who has greeted people from all over the world, including, uh, Cameroon, which is in Africa, and Panama, and Ukraine, they have all said hello to them. And one of the key points of IPAC is that, you know what? It's a pity that many people, even though they support Taiwan, they are wary of the CCP's external think tanks.

Did they give any speeches? There are two major think tanks, right? The first one is the Jamestown Foundation, which is a good friend of ours. Uh, Peter Mattis was active in discussing how members of Congress should be careful about being infiltrated. Um, there is also Safeguard Defenders, which is a think tank based in Spain, that has been increasing its efforts. Actually, I highly recommend that everyone go directly to their website to download the reports from Safeguard Defenders; they are provided for free. Then we can directly see how every central department in China, and their local governments as well, are doing this kind of external infiltration work. It is terrifying. And you can see that most of these are overseas Chinese organizations, right? Is there red capital behind them? Is there a part of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) behind them? Um, generally speaking, that is what IPAC discussed, right? Because they severed diplomatic ties in 2017, and now the people of Panama are also dissatisfied with this matter, right? Uh, the congressional group for Taiwan has now become a large group for Taiwan, so it is very likely that they will push for re-establishing diplomatic ties with Taiwan. But I posted my interview with Jose, um, the situation is very volatile. If they are willing to establish diplomatic ties, this should also... it's not just about Taiwan paying a price; uh, Panama can also provide a lot of help to Taiwan, and Panama's status, its geographical location, is also very critical, right? The Panama Canal, right? Having learned a lesson from the CCP, they already know that when the CCP establishes diplomatic ties with you, it ends up slapping you in the face, and you get nothing, because the CCP is a liar. I understand that feeling, right? You abandoned me first, and then you came back to look for me. But because the political situation will change, uh, political parties will also change, right? Uh, the CCP has always been buying people off, listening to what people can give them, right?

Because perhaps they also have some apologies, because you know, right? It's very good, right? The degree of openness toward Taiwan has been constantly increasing. Later, when Lula took over, everything was blocked, and the right-wing in South America has been moving along with the CCP, right? That is an international fact, right? The United States also faces this every day, but it hasn't reached the point of severing diplomatic ties as severely, right? But the United States also faces it every day, that is, the 'without the Communist Party, there would be no new China' videos on the internet, you can go and watch them. But after Milei took over, ah, the attitude is different; he is one of the best friends of the United States. After the name changed! This polarization, as was discussed in the seminar yesterday, polarization is not necessarily bad, but it is a social reality. So when you encounter this kind of polarized society, how do you face it? Taiwan's, uh, survival strategy, right? It's just, you know, don't complain about having too many friends, just, just like that. If Panama is now willing to, is there anything you want to add? There is nothing to say. No, no. Then what do you think of the activities these past few days? Can you share a bit about the Taiwanese people participating in these? DPP legislator Chang Ya-ling attended the IPAC meeting, and she performed very well. And she was also very serious about, uh, this is a cross-party, uh, meeting, right? So logically, it shouldn't just be the DPP legislator coming; actually, it doesn't have to be, the TPP or other parties could come together, meaning, for those who have some desire for Taiwan...

To make more friends, to want to promote resilience, or legislators who want to decouple from China, or, uh, local councilors can all come. I hope we can be like them, this is the most important, uh, organization, right? So there should be many, many people coming, and let everyone feel that we are really very, the momentum needs to be very strong, to let everyone feel that oh, we care very much, we want to protest the CCP's suppression of us. And this is the most pro-Taiwan international, SET and FTV didn't send anyone, actually, they should have sent people. Can you give me that budget? Yes, I feel that if you don't send people, and then you criticize, there's also that. Yesterday we also, I want to talk about another Taiwanese organization, that is, uh, yesterday, on Saturday, the Dutch member of parliament, uh, participated in the seminar together. And he was sharing with the Dutch people, uh, we also invited our, uh, that, that founder of Kuma Academy, he also participated online, and, uh, there are also, uh, that...

There is an association called "Niao Niao" that monitors threats, bomb threats, and misinformation; they conduct their investigations very well. In the Netherlands, there are also discussions about how older generations—or perhaps family members, parents, and Gen Z—are affected by misinformation. I really saw so many Taiwanese people participating in this event, and even the organizers were surprised, saying, "Wow, it filled up so quickly." This shows that many Taiwanese people in the Netherlands or abroad are very concerned about this issue. It has gained some fame, and everyone should pay attention to it; they are truly doing a very dedicated job. Also, the Taiwanese people in the organization, based on my assessment, are just as passionate about Taiwan as I am, so you can follow them. Well, that's about it. Okay.

Everything we are saying makes sense, right? The result of this election is a disaster. Many participants from the U.S. who are concerned about China issues feel that this happened because the people elected by the DNC are not the traditional, pro-Taiwan, anti-communist Democrats. Pelosi is retiring, and many others are starting to exit; this is a critical issue. It directly proves that there was recent news in the U.S. that the Select Committee on the CCP in the House of Representatives might be shut down, which is terrible news for Taiwan. So, there are big problems within the Democratic Party. Even the traditional Democrats who support Taiwan know that these results are actually not good. Look, I love Nancy Pelosi very much; I have argued with many Republicans and have always spoken up for Nancy Pelosi. She is a person of principle, and her sense of morality is very strong. She is a Catholic, a Christian. When we in Italy/Taiwan faced difficulties, she came to Taiwan to speak up for us. Nancy Pelosi, when she was Speaker, was a wonderful person. Don't say I don't like the Democratic Party; it's not that I don't like them. Actually, even their current Speaker, Jeffries, is okay. There are some people who are still alright. But people like the Mayor of New York City—these people will ruin the Democratic Party. These people will ruin the Democratic Party. I am afraid that the Democratic Party is heading in this direction. Alright, thank you all for watching.
