Something major happened. A Chinese exchange student currently studying in Taiwan, whose Douyin account goes by the public name
It is the same in any country, because you are permitted to come in to study or travel. To use a rather absurd analogy, the master of the house can go straight to bed without taking a shower, and we all know it is very filthy. But as a guest, you simply cannot go to bed without taking a shower unless the host says it is okay. If he hasn't indicated it is okay and you do so anyway, you are showing disrespect to him, and he has the right to deport you. Furthermore, you have acted inappropriately. The land of Taiwan is full of Republic of China flags; during the Double Ten National Day, were you blind? I looked up the time he posted on Douyin, and combined with President Lai's public schedule, we can figure out that this must have been a speech at National Taiwan University on October 12. So I want to ask, you say you can take a joke and that is fine, but can you also publicly post a video on Douyin while you are in Beijing or Nanjing, pinching a figurine of Xi Jinping, or go to Zhongnanhai and pinch it, or pinch Xi Jinping during the Fifth Plenary Session, and caption the text on Douyin with opposing Marxist-Leninist secessionist activities, wishing that Beijing and the mainland return to the embrace of the Republic of China as soon as possible, letting Taiwan govern us, and sparing unemployed people from paying social security? Can you post something like that? Once you post something like that, you can come back and talk to me about how you are treated on both sides, and tell me which side is more terrifying. I guess that you can probably continue studying in Taiwan, and the worst that could happen is at most being deported and banned from entering for five years, or perhaps after an election. But regarding what I just said, in the actual territory controlled by the five-star flag, if you publish the things I mentioned above, what would your fate be? It goes without saying. There is no need to even mention being interrogated by the police; getting sentenced to one or two years in prison would already be a blessing. The main point is that later when you enter society, enterprises of the Chinese Communist Party will see that you were once interrogated or even imprisoned for satirizing Xi Jinping, and no enterprise will dare to hire you, right? Moreover, you will never be able to take the civil service exam. What is even worse is that, as we briefly mentioned starting November 1st, whether you are employed or in flexible employment, you are required to pay the minimum equivalent of what we in Taiwan call labor and health insurance. For example, in Taiwan, if you are unemployed, you do not have to pay labor insurance; whether you pay it or not is up to you. But now China forces everyone to pay what they consider the five social insurances and one housing fund, or even the six insurances and funds, with the minimum standard reaching over 1300 yuan. The money you have to shell out—even if you are just doing part-time work this month, and your income this month is only a few hundred yuan, or one or two thousand yuan—means you might still have to pay out of pocket to make up for the Chinese Communist Party government's five insurances and one housing fund. If you want that, go back to your ancestral motherland.
And it is not just him, you know. There is also another entity challenging our national sovereignty: a Shenzhen-based company from the Chinese Communist Party called Xingji Hanghai Technology. They were the organizers. Originally, they were planning to hold this Taipei Doll Exhibition, called something like Pakamaka, in Nankang this December. Both the ticketing and official announcements listed it as Chinese Taipei. Netizens fiercely criticized this across platforms like Threads, feeling deeply indignant. I also love dolls, but why must they insist on adding Chinese Taipei? Not long after, the official promotional text removed Chinese Taipei that afternoon. However, it seemed less than half a day or a day later that the Taiwanese co-organizer issued a statement saying the doll exhibition might have to be canceled. We are all very regretful; we all love dolls. The problem lies with the organizer. I believe the Taiwanese co-organizers handled it without fault. Although I don't know the exact discussions between the organizer and the co-organizer, from this back-and-forth public interaction, I can deduce that the co-organizer probably suggested the organizer remove it first, and the Shenzhen organizer initially agreed. But after removing it, someone with more power in the CCP or the party branch objected: Why did you remove it? You want to remove it, do you? Then we won't hold it at all. So it was ultimately canceled on bad terms. It's also possible I guessed wrong—who knows? Even if I gave you ten thousand reasons, if you had simply written Taipei, the capital of the Republic of China, or Taiwan Taipei, or even the Republic of China's Taipei, I believe everyone wouldn't have caused such a firestorm over it. So why did you write Chinese Taipei? Because China can be interpreted in various ways and fits your political needs. The People's Republic of China can also be abbreviated as China, right? But as a citizen of the CCP, as a company of the CCP, do you dare say this refers to the Republic of China? We also know your party monitors you, so wouldn't writing just Taipei have settled the matter? You insisted on putting China in front; your stance is clearly that of the CCP. Enough said, otherwise you explain it clearly, why did the co-organizer publish the post for you while you, the organizer, did not?
Let's look at the opposite control group: Taiwanese people going to China and being subjected to illegal interrogation. Related reports from Formosa Television came out, saying that a Taiwanese netizen went to Tibet for a tour, posted about it on Threads, and got around 700,000 or 800,000 views. They said they were taken to a dark room by state security personnel from the Chinese Communist Party and questioned in a small room. Listen clearly, it was state security level, not regular police, public security, or chengguan. Because Taiwanese people cannot travel to Tibet alone; they must first apply and sign up for a tour group in Chongqing, led by a tour guide approved and recognized by the CCP, before they can enter Tibet. Many people from European and American countries face the same restriction. It is very strange. You say Taiwanese people are citizens and nationals of the CCP, but we are treated the same as people from Europe, the US, Japan, and South Korea, and must enter with a tour group. This Taiwanese netizen stated that they probably knew Tibet was a politically sensitive area for the CCP, but on this trip, out of a total of 8 Taiwanese people, 3 of them, including himself, were suddenly taken by the tour guide to the hotel lobby and handed over to a male state security officer who took them to a small room. Inside the small room, there were also two women; all three of them were likely state security personnel. The negotiation lasted for over an hour. It is unknown whether they were questioned separately or all three together. The investigation included very detailed information: your birth, your upbringing, from elementary school to university and entering the workforce, your work history, even your salary, your family members, whether you previously served as a soldier at Taipei Veterans General Hospital, whether you still maintain contact and communication with the Taipei City Government or the New Taipei City Government—since he wrote Taipei City Government, I'm not entirely sure, but in short, people from the Taipei-New Taipei city governments—and whether you notified your government this time when coming to the mainland. The above is my inference: why did state security ask for so many details? Did they do their homework? How did they know whether we Taiwanese served as soldiers or in government units as public servants? They did research. Did someone from our side collaborate and tell them, or did they obtain it through some intelligence, and then specifically ask you these details? Is it possible they want to co-opt you? I am not saying this netizen was co-opted, but do they have such a motive to test anyone to see if it is possible for them to be bought off or to become a target for purchase? Out of 100 people, one or two will bite. Then, based on each person's different reactions, they make different emotional adjustments to ultimately achieve the goals desired by the CCP government itself. They even asked this Taiwanese netizen: What military branch did you serve in, and why did you only serve for 4 months? Which political party in Taiwan do you belong to? Next is what I think is the most laughable part: the CCP's state security was very curiously asking, did the Democratic Progressive Party really issue a retroactive NT$10,000? Of course, it's not just NT$10,000; next year there's another NT$10,000, and furthermore, based on demographic strategy subsidies, on top of the original basis, an additional subsidy ranging from NT$1 million to 1.3 million or even 1.5 million for ages 0-18 can be obtained comprehensively. The amount varies by township and city, so this range varies a bit. Finally, they also asked this Taiwanese netizen: Why do you Taiwanese people all like going to Japan? You Chinese people yourselves also love going to Japan—what kind of question is that? Then he also said: Do you love America? The ones who love America the most are actually you Chinese. Since entering the World Trade Organization in the year 2,000, how much American money have you made? Now America won't let you make it, so your economy is deflated. He also asked this Taiwanese netizen: What do you think of the cross-strait situation? Do you support reunification? Of course, we all know this reunification means the CCP unifying our Republic of China. They also asked him to state the respective pros and cons of both sides. If you were given a higher salary, would you be willing to reunify? This is the key point, Guan Zhang, you must listen carefully: this state security also asked, did you know that you can transfer your household registration to become a citizen of our CCP country? Guan Zhang, did you hear that? Not only did people like Li Dongxian prove it to you in the flesh, but even the CCP's state security said you can get a CCP ID card, why don't you dare to get one? Finally, this Taiwanese netizen's conclusion was that he was very nervous and unable to answer properly, and of course he couldn't lie either. There is a caveat though: he said he had no intention of criticizing China, hoping everyone wouldn't misunderstand; he was merely stating what he saw and heard, he really enjoyed this trip, and he mentioned that for the first time, Mainland Travel Permits for Taiwan Residents were free, and then what? For the first time applying for this mainland travel permit, there are many admission tickets to these scenic spots that can be free. Of course, we all know that not everyone dares to blast the CCP government and get wanted like I do. We are not criticizing China, but rather the CCP government, just like how I dislike a certain party and a certain government in Taiwan does not represent
I don't like Taiwan either, for the same reason. So why did he specifically have to add this caveat? Isn't it because he's afraid? We completely understand his fear; anyone in his place would be terrified. Otherwise, why would I be wanted? Otherwise, why did I go to file a police report again today? Because my home address and thousands of these comments were posted online. Why did I have to report it? What we talk about is what we have seen and heard, and we speak up for the human rights of my friends inside the wall in China who are being persecuted. I probably have even more Chinese friends than many Taiwanese people who consider themselves pro-China. So why don't these Chinese netizens hate me? Because I am anti-communist. Of course, when we look at the comparison of these 3 cases above, a company's student from the Chinese mainland who supports the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) ruling Taiwan, or even pro-CCP spouses like Xiaowei and Yaya, can wantonly express support in Taiwan for a position filled with five-star red flags, advocate for military reunification, and talk about doing something to President Lai Ching-te, or even say Taiwan belongs to them, and even hint at harmful actions against the President. Yet, they subject Taiwanese tourists who haven't published any political speech, or Taiwanese travelers who haven't made any political videos, to state security interrogations for no reason. I think the funniest part was that one sentence from state security: 'If you were given a higher salary, would you be willing to support being reunified by the CCP?' Do you know what the hell you're talking about? You are a country with a per capita GDP similar to Mexico's, while our per capita GDP in Taiwan is already higher than Japan's. And then what? The Mexican government interrogates a Japanese person, saying, 'If we in Mexico give every Japanese person a salary higher than what you currently make in Japan, would you be willing to unify with Mexico?' Don't you want to listen to what the hell you are asking with a question mark? Wait, everyone can go back and watch my video from yesterday. Many people didn't watch it. Regarding Xi Jinping's comprehensive move starting November 1 to force all Chinese citizens to use big data to pay for social insurance, labor insurance, health insurance, and the five insurances and one housing fund, in order to prevent pensions that are almost running out of money from failing to be paid out—yesterday I tried my best to avoid academic terms and data discussions, using humorous examples to express the absurdity of these CCP policies. So we won't repeat them here. You can all go back and watch that video of mine later. That's the end of today's video.
