Ba Jiong Chats About the Nov 28 Election: Will Shen Boyang Win?

This video is hosted and livestreamed by Bajiong. It mainly explores the election forecasts and analysis for the November 28 election in Taiwan, including the matchup between Chiang Wan-an and Puma Shen in Taipei, local political factions in Hualien, the impact of Blue-White coalition integration on the election dynamics, the complexities of overseas anti-communism and Great Unification identity, as well as political observations against the backdrop of the Chinese internet army and economic downturn.

Hi everyone, is there audio? Why is there nobody around? There's sound, right? Are you seeing a real-time feed? Or are you seeing a version from a minute ago? Let me test this: are you seeing it in real time or not? What does one plus one equal? Hey, it is real-time! Name three fruits—you guys should know what meme I'm referring to, right? Patriotic Kun, why are you here again? Yes, I see watermelon, orange, grape, yes. I just uploaded a video, didn't you watch it? Tomorrow's video will be even more exciting! Tomorrow, two more patriotic celebrities got into car accidents! Sigh, but we still sincerely wish them well, because after all, this is a very heartbreaking heartwarming story. We still pray for his speedy recovery, you can't die! If you die, what farce will we have to watch in the future? Right? China has been very exciting lately! Yesterday's Huawei car and today's Huawei car were super exciting, super exciting. You could say Huawei has been quite exciting these past two months. When more people join in a bit, we'll discuss it. Okay, let's first discuss this Puma Shen, or we can discuss Hualien first too. And how I see it, since I'm not someone inside the system, and having gone through some experiences, I feel I can give a more comprehensive analysis. That is to say, because right now I'm not running, or rather I'm not participating, there are certain things I feel I can speak out about.

For example, around January last year, my team and I actually discussed targeted recalls. For instance, with something like that, we couldn't speak out at the time because we were a recall group ourselves. And you can't decide whether other recall groups should cooperate with your targeted recall, right? So back then, every civic group was an involved party, so many remarks might be interpreted as divisive, dampening morale or whatever, which made it inconvenient to say anything. But in this year's election, I'm not running, so I can speak from a position where I can talk more freely. Hey, Guokun, are you coming to the National Day tomorrow? Hey, are you coming to Double Ten National Day?

It's just that we all want to win, right? And Puma is working very, very hard; they have unleashed their full power. Analytically speaking from an objective point of view, we all call Chiang Wan-an an "empty airhead" (Kong-an). Thank you for your donation (Super Chat); in any case, I hope it will be a huge success. Alright, let's talk about it—I won't take a stance first. Thank you for your 750-dollar donation. Let me first say that I definitely support Puma very much, absolutely. Because not only in terms of the concept of resisting China to protect Taiwan and opposing the Communist Party, we are also both wanted fugitives together, right? It's just that on this issue, we are quite aligned, so of course I support him. Including before he became a legislator-at-large, he had been on my show two or three times. Anyway, I really hope he wins. Alright, let's—but I want to put this premise aside first. Okay? Let's put this premise aside first, and let's look at it objectively. Think about it, didn't Chiang Wan-an really underestimate Shen Pao-yang back then, right? Many people underestimated him. If Wang Shih-chien had been nominated back then, Chiang Wan-an might have acted a bit faster. But Shen Pao-yang's team is very formidable, very hardworking; they have brought together many different factions, really, right? Look, the Tsai Ing-wen faction, the Yong Yan Association, the Taiwan Forward faction, the New Tide faction, and other factions like these, they are working hard to integrate, right? But take a look at Chiang Wan-an's side: who among the Kuomintang (KMT) factions is helping him now? The Huang Fuxing branch, Eric Chu, Hung Hsiu-chu, Han Kuo-yu, or Lu Shiow-yen? Right now it seems that the only integration is just the forces related to Eric Chu and Hou Yu-ih, right? So you see, Tang Hsiang-lung represents the leaning-Red unificationist camp; the pan-Red unificationist Julian Kuo should actually count as well, but you can see that it seems the Red unificationists don't really identify with him. And we can also classify Cheng Li-wun into this category. So will votes from this category go to Chiang Wan-an? Can he win them over? Because yesterday Chiang Wan-an answered with, "I am a citizen of the Republic of China, I am a Taiwanese," which made Tang Hsiang-lung extremely dissatisfied. Because the answer Tang Hsiang-lung wanted to hear was "I am Chinese," right? We won't dwell on Tang Hsiang-lung. So the point is, within the Blue camp in Taipei, it seems you haven't seen any successful integration; this includes the White camp, as it seems you haven't seen the White camp particularly promoting Chiang Wan-an either, right? So of course, we hope the Blue camp and the White camp experience a massive split and a massive failure in Taipei; that way, Puma's wave will have a chance. This is certain, this is a sure thing.

Now let's hypothesize, let's view this from the KMT's standpoint: alright, suppose Lu Shiow-yen, or maybe another new figure—perhaps we don't know yet who wants to come forward to run for president in 2028 from the KMT, the current candidate options are just Chiang Wan-an, Lu Shiow-yen, maybe; I think Han Kuo-yu is quite unlikely, but some people say Han Kuo-yu, alright, whatever, anyway we just have three-legged cats, right? Now, if you let Chiang Wan-an win too convincingly, that would turn into Chiang Wan-an's political bargaining chip to contend for the presidency in 2028. Then let me ask, would Lu Shiow-yen or this so-called third person agree to that? They definitely wouldn't agree, because both of them also want to contend for the presidency. And only one person can represent the KMT. So you see, it's early October right now; if they reach some consensus with Chiang Wan-an, and manage to successfully integrate by mid-to-late October, then Chiang Wan-an's chances of winning would become very high, Chiang Wan-an's chances of winning would become very high. Because the air war and online campaigns we are fighting right now are all things seen on the internet. And although there is a bit of that vibe from back then—because this time the Tsai Ing-wen faction has joined in to help out entirely, you can see that the kind of atmosphere when helping Ko Wen-je run for mayor of Taipei for the first time has emerged, with young people and kids on the street chanting along too. But once the Blue camp successfully integrates, and if the White camp joins in as well, then it's hard to say. So objectively speaking, of course we do not want them to successfully integrate; of course we hope they continue to fail massively, because the unity of the Blue and White camps is the single biggest, this is an uncontrollable variable for us, right? It depends on themselves. So what we can do now is help break out of the bubble, and then fight in coordination with their playbook.

It doesn't matter if you don't understand factions, it doesn't matter if you don't understand factions, you just need to understand that everyone in a company is from the same company. Are there small cliques inside your company? Just think about it that way, right? Who wants to fight for the position of team leader, who wants to fight for the position of manager? There can only be one. Well, you're all in the same company, of course you'll engage in healthy competition, or vicious competition, right? It's just that you're complicating it a bit. Let's see if the audience has any questions. Well, thanks for the donation. So, Chiang Wan-an is clearly—should put it this way, should put it this way: the Democratic Progressive Party's baseline in Taipei has always been 40%. So now, many pan-Green supporters didn't know Puma Shen at first, but now that there's a big fuss, the pan-Green baseline is willing to return, willing to know and vote for Puma Shen. So right now, it's just reclaiming the pan-Green baseline, the pan-Green baseline, and a little bit of the independents. So whether he can break through the era of Ah-Bian in the past, or the past DPP figures like Chen Shih-chung or Wu Yi-no in terms of percentages, this really depends on whether the Blue and White camps can successfully integrate. If this defies my expectations and the Blue and White camps somehow successfully integrate, and yet Puma Shen and Su Qiaohui still win by a landslide, then I really think Taiwan is saved. Really, I really would think so, because based on some data from my current objective view, rather than just looking at the air war, from the perspective of the current structure and pattern, I think Su Qiaohui has the highest chance of winning, followed by Puma Shen, speaking objectively for the current situation. So what we are currently working hard on is campaigning, pulling votes using different methods, because everyone has the issues they excel at.

Well, anyway, Hualien is beyond saving. I believe Yunlin today, talking with many people from the Yunlin fellow townsmen association who came to support Su Qiaohui, they said the Yunlin Zhang family is also beyond saving. Zhang Jun, who emerged as our third force this time, also surnamed Zhang. I really think Hualien is also hopeless in this regard, it's really hard, it's really much harder than ocean currents, way harder. Hualien is really difficult, I mean of course, Zhang Jun, Wei Jiaxian, or this You Shuzhen who represents Fu Kun-chi's faction—basically you can consider her as Fu Kun-chi's person, because you have to know that even if You Shuzhen has some perspectives and stances that disagree with Fu Kun-chi, she rose to power relying on Fu Kun-chi. Then when she enters the Hualien County Government, let me ask you, who appoints the department heads inside? On the surface, You Shuzhen appoints them, right? But who do they have to listen to? Don't they listen to the supreme ruler behind the scenes? Isn't the supreme ruler Fu Kun-chi? If Johnny Chiang successfully wins as the mayor of Taichung, then who becomes the vice president of the Legislative Yuan?

However, of course the best-case scenario is that Puma Shen wins. But the worst-case scenario is a narrow loss. I think a narrow loss within 10%, or even 5%. Let's not talk about 10%, I think a narrow loss of 5% is still a DPP victory. Really, I think a narrow loss of 5% is still considered a DPP victory. After going through so much turbulence, so many events, being able to narrow-lose by 5%, I think it's still a win. Because democracy is continuation, democracy takes time, it takes this slow communication. The process of back-and-forth communication takes a very long time. So I think this is very normal, long-term cultivation.

Anyway, for many people who might have just joined, let me make myself clear once again. Putting aside my stance of supporting the DPP or supporting Puma Shen, objectively speaking, we all hope he must, but just like when I analyze the CCP, when we look at their data, right, we are also somewhat objective. If you bring emotions into it, of course you'll say down with the CCP, the CCP will fall, the CCP will perish, but practically you have to consider it, right? At that time, everyone said Zhang Youxia's coup succeeded, and I said long ago that was impossible, saying it's very hard. So besides taking care of everyone's emotions, we hope to turn this emotion into reality, an emotion of actually winning. So we must work hard to move in this direction, understand what I mean? Therefore, we cannot let the Blue and White integrate successfully, and the struggle between the Blue camp's factions and Chiang Wan-an cannot be allowed to succeed. And because actually, whether it's Chiang Wan-an, if I narrow-lose, it is also very difficult for his bid for the 2028 presidency. That is to say, the Blue camp feels they still need to unite at the very last moment, but Chiang Wan-an will narrow-lose, and this is their bargaining chip with Chiang Wan-an for the 2028 presidential seat. Then you don't run, conditions are negotiated with you, letting you win Taipei, but winning very ugly. You don't run against me in 2028, let Lu Xiuyan or a third person representing the Kuomintang run for president; it might be like this. And when Chiang Wan-an sees this this time, he will find out that relying solely on my own ability really cannot convince everyone, especially people within the party, then if I run for president again in 2028, none of you will support me, and I won't be able to win either, right? Because look at me running for Taipei mayor this time, you all only willing to help at the very last moment, and then made me almost lose, so he wouldn't dare to aspire to 2028. Therefore, we cannot let them successfully integrate, and at the same time we must not take the enemy lightly, we must continue to work hard, when chatting in the streets and alleys, using a method suitable for the other person's personality to chat—hey, this is also a lesson I've been learning, huh. In fact, I've also changed, everyone should have noticed, I've become a bit softer, huh, it depends on the occasion. Thank you for the donation, Hualien, add oil, Hualien needs to cultivate people who can run in eight years. Thank you. Uh, right, it still depends on the occasion.

One suspended, one expelled from the party, fewer and fewer. Sigh, let me tell you, in Hualien, our Hualien City, the DPP is also divided. Let me tell you about the situation in Hualien. There was a representative who wanted to run for Mayor of Hualien City. We are a county, and under the county is the city. The Hualien County Magistrate is the highest authority, and then there is the Hualien Mayor. OK, because we are not a special municipality, you need to understand this premise first. Anyway, there was a DPP representative surnamed Xie who wanted to run for Hualien Mayor, but of course, he didn't succeed in the end because he was taken down by the Wei family. The Wei family is actually very strong, right? Wei Muchun, Wei Jiaxian, the Wei brothers, father and son, right? So what about him this time? This time, he, uh, I recall he was expelled from the DPP because he registered to run on his own without communicating with the DPP's Hualien party headquarters. In the end, he went to find his former rivals, the Wei brothers, to stand by them. What is he trying to do this time? He wants to run for Hualien County Councilor as an independent. Isn't the power he represents the power of the Wei family, the power of Wei Jiaxian? So Wei Jiaxian gives him his votes—he is a Hualien County Councilor, after all—and then he himself wants to run for Hualien County Magistrate, while his younger brother takes over as Hualien Mayor. Isn't that all arranged? And Wei Jiaxian has enough votes in Hualien to split between two people. There is also someone surnamed Jiang, who I think joined the TPP before. Was he the Hualien Tourism Department Director or Tourism Bureau Director? Later he joined the TPP, and now he is running as an independent—is it Jiang Yaocheng or Jiang Chengyao? A doctor. He is also following along to run for Hualien County Councilor. We believe, our observation is that Wei Jiaxian's votes are enough to split between these two, allowing him to represent the power in the Hualien County Council, while his brother is the Hualien Mayor, and he has a chance to vie for Hualien County Magistrate. Because now we are split into two sides. There are three people running for Hualien County Magistrate now: one is You Shuzhen, who represents the power of Fu Kun-chi—nobody knows her, so let's just call it the Fu family. Another is Zhang Jun, the one who went to Guangfu for disaster relief and kicked Fu Kun-chi's table, kicked him—do you remember? At that time, when he kicked it, everyone felt it was very satisfying, very satisfying. And the other one is Wei Jiaxian, whom I just mentioned. If Wei Jiaxian and Zhang Jun both run, it's possible that neither will get elected, so one of them must withdraw for there to be a chance, a chance to turn things around, or even just lose by a small margin. I think losing by a small margin is already a win.

OK, anyway, that's it for Hualien. And we've finished talking about Shen Po-yang. I think the point where they are breaking out of their echo chamber in other media, especially Blue-leaning media, is very impressive: he states the conclusion first. This is also a way to prevent people who are unhappy with him, or people who are emotional, dissatisfied, or malicious, from editing and cutting his clips out of context. Of course, they still can, but the technique would be too obvious. I think this is a good thing; he has learned some methods from self-media, which is to state the conclusion first, and then try to minimize the length. Because he knows that if he gives a long-winded speech—he is a scholar, so he can certainly give a long-winded speech—if he does that, he has tried it before, and what happened in the middle? They would speed it up ten times, "ba ba ba ba ba ba," and only extract that one sentence they wanted. Then everyone would say, "Oh, you support raising rats," or "You support some kind of poison," right? So their team is very capable, because I know some of the people on their team, they are even the most familiar strangers.

Alright, what are you arguing about now? How are you... Uh, do you think Jaw Shaw-kong is intentionally letting Shen Po-yang? I, I tell you, you have to separate these things. No matter what, Jaw Shaw-kong is no longer a political figure in the sense of the past when he ran for mayor. Jaw Shaw-kong's current positioning is that of a media personality. And you have to know, as a media personality or a self-media creator, what he cares about most is who wins, or rather, traffic. If these two people are balanced, that's obviously the best, so what he wants is traffic, right? So if Chiang Wan-an keeps pushing back, or if Chiang Wan-an doesn't give him an opening opportunity to earn this traffic, then of course he won't be happy. But Shen Po-yang gives him this traffic, so of course he will feel that you are not bad. I am talking about the interest level here. Of course, after he got to know this person privately, he found that he wasn't as unfriendly as he thought, right? He is a warmer person, a more amiable person. So, so I think it should be viewed from two levels. Because the media follows the trend; whatever wind is blowing now, and since you don't agree to follow me to create such waves, to create such wind, what does the media want to see? Both sides fighting each other, Chiang Wan-an, holding a bunch of debates, for example, holding five debates, "Oh, Shen Po-yang lost this one," "Oh, you lost this one," "Oh, he won this one, he won, you lost again." What everyone wants to see is this kind of confrontation. For the media, this brings traffic, buzz, and advertising revenue. So that's one of the reasons why some media are unhappy with Chiang Wan-an: you don't give us the opportunity to get traffic, make money, and earn advertising fees. Of course, this doesn't mean all media think this way. But as a media person myself, I do see such signs, right?

Oh, I am not wearing anything special today, just a T-shirt. Uh, what do my thoughts on Chiang Wan-an? Hey, I just talked about that, you can go back and watch the replay. Hmm, regarding Chiang Wan-an, you can go back and watch the replay. I just added that if people truly think Chiang Wan-an is empty-headed—though I also think so—some people really think that. I know an influencer who is like that, oh, I won't say who, anyway, it's not about political issues. He is also smart, he also has ideas, but he really needs to look over his notes and absorb them before he can speak. He is very afraid of saying the wrong thing, but there really are people like that. Okay, so let's assume Chiang Wan-an is like that, or that he really has no substance. Then for him, right now, actually I think he acted too early, he panicked. Because according to my estimation, normally he should start seriously fighting ground battles and debates, or even going on shows, after mid-October. Because as I just said, for someone with no substance here, or someone who needs to prepare a lot and do homework beforehand—I'm not saying this is bad, because everyone's personality and natural intelligence are different, or their learning methods are different, there's no right or wrong. For such a person, whether it's the first type or the second type, naturally the later he goes on shows now, the less room he has to make mistakes. And the less room there is to make mistakes, the less room and topicality there is for his opponents—meaning the Kuomintang's opponents, right? Right? We know he is currently a hotpot mayor, a Harpa mayor. And then, a few lines of script can be repeated for four years, four years, and another four years. Of course, he has only served for four years, meaning he could repeat a single sentence for four years, which shows his memorization skills are very impressive. That is to say, he has no ideas of his own, he doesn't know how to be flexible, and his on-the-spot reaction might not be that fast. So if he started going on shows in May, April, or June, and he couldn't handle that kind of on-the-spot reaction—Pau-yang Shen's on-the-spot reaction is very fast, you know. I have also contacted him many times privately, his on-the-spot reaction is fast. Pau-yang Shen, if—hey, wait no, if Chiang Wan-an doesn't have this kind of ability, then indeed the route he is taking now is the safest for him, right? Will he win in the end? I'm worried, oh. Uh, you can check the replay later, I briefly explained it earlier, okay.

However, I must say, we cannot deny—we cannot deny one thing about Chiang Wan-an, and that is his ability to memorize scripts is extremely strong. Really, if you accidentally lose your job as the Taipei mayor in this term, you can go be Pau-yang Shen's spokesperson. You can go be the spokesperson for the Taipei City Government. With your memorization skills, handled by Pau-yang Shen's team, hey, you can do it. I believe you can memorize everything word for word within a day. You can even repeat Pau-yang Shen's political philosophy on any occasion. Hey, isn't this the Kuomintang-Democratic Progressive Party grand reconciliation? Isn't this the Kuomintang-Democratic Progressive Party grand unity? After Chiang Wan-an loses the election, he is still willing to admit himself—maybe citizens don't like what you did these four years. And then you, because Pau-yang Shen appreciates your script-memorization skills, lets you be the spokesperson, and you memorize it well. Hey, am I right? You don't deny that his script-memorization skills are pretty good, right? You don't deny it? This is his strength, right?

možete go watch that video of mine today, my main video today, you can go watch my main video today. On October 4th, I knew the defeat would probably be around this much, which is eight to—I mean between seven and nine, because that's what I heard when I was eating. And then yesterday TVB published it, right, losing by this much, losing by this much. But still, still we have room, because there's still more than a month left, oh. Everyone, keep working hard. Thanks to the person from the island for replying to your comment, let me see what you said, ah? Because I am doing mobile live streaming. Oh! You guys keep seeing my hands, no way! I'll use my computer to look, oh. Oh, Liu, keep it up, thank you! And there's also a 750 NT dollar one, thank you. Well, thank you for rejoining as a member. Alright, if you guys have any questions, hurry up and ask me, huh. Uh, about Fang Lian, I've already talked about it, and New Taipei I chatted about a bit, and Pau-yang Shen's and Chiang Wan-an's are the main themes today. Alright, Chu Hui-fei, oh, just pinned by me. The statement from the Blue camp side is that they are leading, they don't need to start this kind of debate fever. Uh, of course, right? Because because Chiang Wan-an is empty, and he is the incumbent government, right, he is the incumbent local government, so indeed he doesn't need to be overly anxious. Originally it was said he would only start fighting a month before the election, but now Pau-yang Shen has forced him to come out almost two weeks early to handle these responses. Really, otherwise these Five Tigers wouldn't have been invited back, like Hsu Chiao-hsin and Wang Hung-wei, they were indeed invited back early, ah. And these young people too, hey. I don't know how to put it, logical, oh, I don't know either. I mean, the young people invited by Pau-yang Shen and them are also young people, and the young people you invited are also young people, ah, why are they all young people, why is the price difference so big? Why is there such a huge difference? And then inviting veteran fighter Chung Sung-tai back, and the one invited is still from Eric Chu's faction, hey.

Uh, TVBS's polls seem to be—you guys can correct me, because right now I'm just speaking from memory. TVBS's polls seem to be relatively accurate, right? Should be, right? Meaning the gap with the actual election results shouldn't be too big, right? You can correct me, because I'm going off memory right now, but it should be like that, right? Whether it's the presidential elections over the years, or the capital city/county mayoral elections—yeah, it should be like that, right? Is it? Yeah, right before the polling blackout period. I'm talking about from the Pan-Blue camp's perspective—is that not the case? Okay, let me check real quick. Let me check. I'll ask AI. Of course I won't show you my computer screen. What if something like that History Brother stuff pops up? Of course, I don't have that kind of stuff. Okay, let's ask AI. Uh, the AI says TVBS polls have the longest history in Taiwan, and generally rank in the top two for credibility. It says that although this depends on personal perception of accuracy, it definitely ranks in the top two for consistency. It even predicted the 2024 election with a margin of error within two percentage points, uh, and local elections were also relatively accurate—well, that's what the AI said. Then below that, it said the main criticism from those with different political stances is that the polls are perceived as slightly favoring the Pan-Blue camp.

Because, if you watched my video just now, you would notice that I showed a screenshot from October 4 and October 5, right? That's what I said—I said in the group chat that while having dinner, I heard we were trailing by 7 to 9 points. As a result, TVBS released its poll yesterday showing a 8-point deficit. But that doesn't mean we are voting today, right? We still have over 50 days to push forward. So in these 50-plus days, we need to win back those 8 points and prevent the Pan-Blue camp from uniting. You can't let the Pan-Blue factions unite behind Chiang Wan-an, making him feel he has the momentum to aim for the 2028 presidential election. Isn't this the exact political struggle happening within the Pan-Blue camp right now? And when will the CCP internet army's system intervene? At the end of October. Although you currently see some CCP internet army trolls over there using profile pictures of Indians, Filipinos, Southeast Asians, or Russians to provoke fights, that kind of activity is just called maintaining daily routine—it's like maintaining daily public order. To them, seeing two police officers patrolling on the street from a police station is just routine, right? When will they launch a massive deployment? How come suddenly there are so many SWAT police—50 or 200 chengguan—at that police station? Starting from the end of October. Why starting from the end of October? Because the Fifth Plenary Session will have ended. The Fifth Plenary Session officially ends on October 29, running from October 26 to October 29. As soon as the Fifth Plenary Session ends and sets the key tone that Xi Jinping's team will continue to stay in power for the 21st National Congress next year, these people will feel unleashed to cooperate with Wang Huning and execute their plans. So right now, we haven't reached the absolute peak of the so-called interference time. Yeah, not yet.

What you're seeing now is just the routine patrols by police and chengguan. The real storm hasn't arrived yet. So everyone needs to be extra careful in late October and November. Do not reply, do not reply to those posts on Twitter or Facebook that look like intentional baiting or snarky trolling. Don't reply—just block them directly. Don't reply. You click in, look at the profile picture: 0 followers, 5 followers, 10 followers—if it's a newly created account, just don't reply. Once you reply, it gets exposure, okay? We haven't reached that stage yet. It will only start after the Fifth Plenary Session at the end of October sets the tone for Xi Jinping and their comprehensive strict governance over the Party. Because to tell you the truth, the CCP currently has no time to care about Taiwan; they will only start focusing on messing with Taiwan in November. Right now, they have plenty of domestic problems to worry about. Uh, will it interfere with or affect voting? That depends on us. Because when the time comes, their entire system will be deployed. If we all take the bait, then discover it's fake, or discover we've been trolled again, and then start arguing among ourselves, swing voters will look at it and feel we are so extreme, and then lose the desire to vote. So that's why I said just block them. The internet army is certainly effective, and their effectiveness relies on getting the other side to take the bait!

What are Baji's thoughts on the Huawei car's brake pedal? Please watch tomorrow's video, stay tuned. Dongchedi, stay tuned! Saying this, this... I also feel it's really terrifying. I mean, sigh, this time I believe many people were extremely frustrated with Huawei phones, right? Saying, "Ah, how can a Huawei car actually block my phone?" "Baji, I've always supported you and also supported Pao-yang, but I have a suggestion, not a joke, I hope you can seriously consider whether to become... whether to become his spokesperson? Because you are both targeted by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)." I can't come forward right now. Currently they are taking a warm and gentle route, so I can't come forward. I can only cheer them on from the outside. I need to understand their strategy, because whether I was stabbed in the back, or someone was sabotaging behind the scenes, or someone was spreading rumors outside, I want to distance myself from these people, or whatever, or avoid being labeled as the kind of person who picks fights with others. Look, a few months ago... sigh, wasn't my innocence proven just a few weeks ago? Right? You remember, right? So I'm not suitable right now, I'm not suitable right now, nor do I have it anymore. Now just let them follow their gentle strategy, because to many outsiders, especially clips on Douyin, I am a volcano. I am a volcano, understand? I am a volcano, I can't. Right now they are those gentle willows, while I am a volcano. Why should I go over now and mess up their rhythm? There's no need for that. I'll just keep working hard in what I can do, in the scope and field where I can make an effort, right?

Uh, and look, wasn't my innocence proven just two or three weeks ago? Wasn't there someone online saying they would do bad things to... uh... Puma's daughter, right? That person also said last year that he wanted to do that to my whole family. Sigh, last year that person also posted online saying he would do that to my whole family. And wasn't that person the same one who rushed into our volunteer team at the MRT station while drinking and made a big scene last February? Think about it, he even had the mindset to kill kids. There were many kids, elderly people, and pregnant women at the scene, right? Wasn't it me who went over to stop him and drive him out? Didn't he say he was going to kill us all? Saying things like "Surrender when the PLA comes!" and "Aren't your kids afraid of being killed?" or something like that, things like that. So didn't I confront him and kick him out? And then, didn't our opponents just clip the footage of me yelling at him? Then people like Zhan Jiangcun said, "Look at these people like Baji, yelling at people who don't support the recall." What did he mean by that? That this person was just walking down the street, passing by the MRT station, saw these recall groups, and then Baji said, "Do you support the recall? You don't? If you don't, you're all CCP fellow travelers!" And then blah blah blah blah. It was clearly not like that at all! So the opponents always manipulated me like this, and that's how I was labeled last year, right? Wasn't justice served for me a few weeks ago? Wasn't it because he publicly said he wanted to mess with Shen Pao-yang's daughter in recent weeks? Then everyone finally realized, oh, so he was the troublemaker who got driven out by Baji that day! Only then were those former swing voters willing to watch the whole video and realize that I was not what they saw in the second half of the Douyin clip. It turned out that in the first half, he went in and threatened the elderly, elderly and children, women, and those... other people, right? That's why I went to expel him. To this day, I don't regret it at all! To this day, I don't regret it at all! What's more, of course, this is hindsight. We all know he had intentions to harm people weaker than him. Hey, if he had actually pulled out a weapon, if he really pulled it out, at least the first person stabbed would be me, not a child, right? Right? So, that's why I said, I... I'm very grateful for your donation, but the current situation is not suitable, mm. Uh, anyway, I... anyway, that incident also taught me a lot. Oh, that is, of course, division of labor and cooperation, setting the tone, planning early, dividing labor and cooperating early. Of course you can't do everything yourself; you should stick to whatever your role is. As for security, from now on, just leave those who come to make trouble to the security personnel. You don't need to do it yourself as the principal and then have your actions taken out of context. This is also what I learned. Learned it last year. Mm mm, Teacher Lu Jie is here, hello Teacher Lu Jie.

Uh, I'm worried about how to pull back this eight percent? In any case, you just cannot let the Blue and White camps unite. You can't let—you can't let Chiang Wan-an, meaning you can't let the KMT believe Chiang Wan-an thinks he has a shot at contending for 2028, and then let all the factions across their entire Blue camp—whether it's the Huang Fu-hsing, or the pro-unification factions, and then Han Kuo-yu's faction, or other Blue camp factions—all come back at the very last moment to help him and let him win by a small margin. We just cannot let this happen. So, so what should we do? "Hey, Chiang Wan-an, you're guaranteed to win. You don't need to be so busy. You've definitely won. You can just lie back and rest in the City Hall right now. You don't need to appear on any more shows, and you don't need to do any more street corner campaigning. You're guaranteed to win; it's a sure victory. TVBS put out a fake poll, huh, with a question mark on it—you can just lie back and win by twenty percent!" What we need to do right now is this kind of thing. In any case, yes, in any case we cannot, cannot let them join forces! We can't let them join forces. If they merge, you—you—you have to understand, you have to understand, w-w-we in the Pan-Green camp have already exerted all our primordial power to pull it up to eight percent, blowing the DPP's base back. Hey, right now pulling it back to forty percent means blowing back the base plus just a little bit of the periphery. You—you guys need to understand this. And the reason the Blue camp hasn't made a move yet is because they are internally debating the 2028 presidential race. If you—if you let Chiang Wan-an win big, I—let's suppose you let Chiang Wan-an win big by fifteen percent, or win by an even larger margin, then will Chiang Wan-an have the leverage? Can Chiang Wan-an challenge Cheng Li-wun or Lu Shiow-yen? "Why should you guys run for it? It should be me running for it! Isn't this margin of victory of mine impressive? Doesn't it depend on me? It's a one-man show in 2028, I'm the president!" Right? So it's intricate and complicated. It's not just about swing voters, or Green camp policies, but even matters within the Blue camp and the White camp—these are all factors that will heavily impact the election. Every single one will have an impact.

However, the strategy Puma Shen's team is currently executing is very good. Uh, a few days ago I met with a friend—uh, actually it should be three friends, all of them are influencers, from different circles, oh, not political influencers. In entertainment, there are smaller influencers, and also male influencers, um, uh, counting me that makes four of us, ah, all from different circles. And normally we don't chat about politics, oh. Yet they actually asked me—ah, two are from Taipei, one is from Su Chiao-hui's, uh, New Taipei. Ah, the one from New Taipei said, "Why does that Lee Si-chuan look a bit like he has dementia? I-I-I-I probably won't vote for him, oh." Mm, I kept seeing Su Chiao-hui coming out, so I kept persuading him, saying, "Yeah, you should vote for Su Chiao-hui! You—you also live in Banqiao, right? Ah, in Banqiao, look, do you want Huang Shu-chun or Yamada Mayi? Think about it, oh." Ah, "Go take a look at it," I said, "you seem to care more about things like human rights, or children's issues, huh? Then you can go check more on what these city councilors usually supervise, huh? In New Taipei City, you can go." Hey, they were willing to learn more. Then that, ah, the other smaller influencer in Taipei, he called it out, saying Chiang's discourse is totally vacuous, constantly answering B when asked A, like a broken record dodging the question—which shows that this term, this meme, really has broken out of the bubble and reached those minor influencers who usually do, like, beauty products, or talk about travel, or do cheerleading; they understand it too! Normally, in their social circles, or when we hang out, they wouldn't talk to you about politics, but they actually took the initiative to ask me, because they also know I'm more knowledgeable. So breaking out of the bubble among young people has been successful—it has been successful.

But still, it all comes down to one thing in the end. I say—I'm telling you guys, don't just talk bullshit over there; when it's time to go out and vote, you still have to go out and vote. Sigh, don't go traveling somewhere or head overseas the day before. Don't just sweet-talk me now—cast that vote. Sigh, because when I meet friends privately, we absolutely never talk politics. Talking about these things usually—sigh, let alone caring about our domestic affairs, just talking about the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) makes one's head explode, right? Now, occasionally having the chance to chat with everyone about domestic politics, my personal take. Oh, I just finished talking about that Hualien thing. Anyway, my view is: young people really are a key factor influencing the ocean currents. And the key influencing Chiang Wan-an is whether the pan-Blue camp can integrate. Well, so the best scenario is that they fail to integrate, and our young people are willing to return. And the one influencing Hualien is either Chang Chun or Wei Chia-hsien, one of the two. Sigh, because the two of them really split each other's votes! Actually, many people despise Fu Kun-chi. Because after that, Fu Kun-chi became even more outrageous, and after the Guangfu incident, more and more people grew to dislike Fu Kun-chi. But well, to them, they feel Chang Chun is too rustic, too grassroots, too much like an underworld gangster or something—I can't bring myself to vote for him. Then where will those so-called independent voters, or what we commonly call intellectual Blues, the Hualien intellectual Blues, the Hualien pro-business chamber folks vote? They will vote for Wei Chia-hsien, who appears to have a better public image. They'll vote for Wei Chia-hsien; those who also hate Fu Kun-chi will vote for Wei Chia-hsien. As for those who usually feel Wei Chia-hsien is indecisive: one moment you run—originally we thought you'd finally truly step up and go head-to-head against Fu Kun-chi or his wife Hsu Chen-wei. If the two of you ran together, if you both ran, of course I'd support you. Why did you withdraw at the last minute, or suddenly announce you weren't running anymore, making all of us think you were running? So after this happened once or twice, we feel, or when we look forward to you running and you don't run, we won't support you anymore. Instead, we'll support Chang Chun, right? So under such circumstances, our votes were divided. And Yu Shu-chen, who represents Fu Kun-chi's faction, won.

Who keeps spamming "Southern Min Party"? Why is he involved again? No, there isn't? Just wish him well, whatever he wants to do now, just wish him well. Dongdamen parking lot charges 300 per entry on holidays—is that for real? When did you go to Dongdamen? Hualien Dongdamen? Not Dongdaemun in South Korea? Hey, be serious! What about becoming a Taoist priest or whatever? Hmm, did my livestream cut off? Hey, did my livestream just drop? I was wondering, no messages were popping up from you guys at all. Ba-jiu, what do you think of Kevin Tsai? Go watch the video I just uploaded. Go watch the video I put up just now, okay? I posted an official video earlier, you can go check it out. Yeah right, how could Dongdamen possibly charge 300 for parking once? Did you run into some Guizhou kid scamming you or staging a crash-and-grab? Ah, 300? That's too ridiculous! 300 is probably what it costs me to park for an hour or two in the US. Oh, parking in the US is very expensive, and Europe is very expensive too. Where I—and between the US and Europe, some hotels in Europe: our Taiwan hotels are like this, you come to stay, parking is free. Do you know that at some hotels in Europe, lodging is lodging, and parking fees are parking fees? It costs 30 to 50 euros a day to park. Multiply that by 35, multiply by 35. Ah, once I stayed at a hotel in France for five days, I didn't know. I was thinking, why won't my car let me out? I entered the rental car's license plate—fuck, 50 euros a day. I parked for five days, a 250-euro parking fee. I burst out cursing on the spot! Right then, curses came flying out of my mouth! A parking fee of 300—then you'd have to find Father-in-Law Babatong and the neighborhood office director to deal with some damn mess. Stop saying she's my wife! Thank you for gifting the Pudding Cat. Does 250 euros mean you're very rich? No, that trip was for my wedding honeymoon, okay? Hey, no, we were having a total breakdown back then too, alright? 250 euros, 250 euros is very expensive, I was having a breakdown too. Ah, otherwise what else could I do in the middle of the night but pay up? Otherwise you can't get out! If you park a bit longer, it'll turn into 300 euros! Pay up quickly, pay up quickly! Thanks for your hard work, Ba-jiu, thank you. What do you think about a bunch of people in Taiwan sucking up to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)? It's really quite surprising. Is it zeal of the convert? Uh.

Recently, I have been in contact with some Chinese individuals in Taiwan. Of course, of course, of course, under heavy security, I met those who came from a third place, and they gave me a lot of things. So, there might be a chance to do a members-only live stream, or you can just wait for my documentary to come out. I won't go into details here. Anyway, anyway, you don't need to worry anymore. My back is made of steel now; I'm not afraid of anyone stabbing me in the back. My back is entirely made of steel now; I've upgraded all kinds of precautions, and absolutely, absolutely, absolutely never again will there be such an incident where someone harms me. But speaking of looking at this time, you know, the election climate this time—aside from Taipei and the Greater Taipei area—is cold, right? Well, well, one advantage is that it brought spillover benefits to other electoral districts. That is, the entire power of the party, all factions across the party helping Shen Pao-yang and Su Chiao-hui, and then letting their momentum spill over to boost the DPP's election campaigns in other counties and cities—that is also one way to win. There are many ways to win. Has Ba Jiu gained weight? Uh, no, it's just the distance from the camera and the lighting. Do you really think I've gained weight? It's just an issue of the distance from the camera, and an issue of the angle. Ah, I'm not even 65 yet, why would I gain weight? It's just a matter of the angle and the distance between me and the camera. When I go to the scene, everyone says I'm very thin, okay? Is your suit custom-tailored in Italy? I'm not sure about that, I can check later. Ah, is Chan Chiang-tsun running this time? Let me take a look, let me see, is Chan Chiang-tsun running for councilor this time? Ah, how pathetic. Pan-Blue's Chan Chiang-tsun registered to run as an independent, right? That's not right, is it? He collected—oh, Chan Chiang-tsun initially declared that he wouldn't accept the party recommendation certificate and would run as an independent. But in the end, on September 3, he accepted the KMT's recommendation certificate, supplemented his registration, and switched back to running as a KMT member. Ah, do you guys know that Chan Chiang-tsun might be eligible to claim that subsidy? I remember councilors could continuously claim subsidies after serving for a certain number of years. Let me look it up: how many years does a councilor have to serve before they can receive payments? Hmm, that's not right! I remember it was a pension, right? Can they collect a pension? Or was my information wrong? No, what I saw before must have been false information. Yes, you guys say yes, really? After serving for 20 years—oh, right, for special municipality or county/city councilors, local representatives in Taiwan, there's no such thing for 20 years. That's right, there isn't, it was abolished. Oh, so there used to be, but not anymore.

However, Taoyuan also produces some "talents," huh. Look, there's Deng Jiahua, and then Shit-Eating Brother, and who else? And "Taiwan Province Little Ruan," the one waving the five-star flag, and that Betel Nut Guy. Ah, and then there's Chan Chiang-tsun, quite a gathering of talents, huh. There's also You Zhibin. Ah, hopefully the people of Taoyuan can overturn this impression. Yes, Guangyang, right right right right right, talents, the Five Tiger Generals, right? Your Taoyuan Five Tiger Generals: You Zhibin, Chan Chiang-tsun, Shit-Eating Brother, "Taiwan Province Little Ruan," Deng Jiahua. Ah, it's the Six Great Guardians, oh, there's also another one, Betel Nut Guy, right? The Five Pledges of Taoyuan. Let me, let me read a super chat comment. Uh, "I'm from Taipei, I still feel there's a chance. But Taipei people's brains aren't very bright, so I'm a bit scared. If Anglerfish wins again this time, I will seriously lose my mind." Ah, right, actually after last year's reflection, introspection, or growth, I feel that we shouldn't—say, when it comes to our own domestic elections—we shouldn't say that those who support him have bad brains. Ah, maybe their interests, their perspectives, or their values are biased toward him; it doesn't mean their brains are bad. Unless that person explicitly states that they want to bootlick the CCP, and they still win the election—ah, that is the bottom line. So, so of course, I also—naturally, we all feel there's a chance this time; that is, within the margin of error, we all think there's a chance, so we have to fight. So we must work hard and not let our guard down. Who is Tom Ox Hero?

Right, so, so, you, you, you look, Chiang Wan-an, when Chiang Wan-an was a legislator once, wasn't there that recording where he suddenly scolded Han Kuo-yu like that? Now he finds that he himself is also, well, the things inside might not be argued that well, or might not be that clear, or some of his directions, Taipei citizens don't like them, but that doesn't necessarily mean his voters think they are wrong. Oh, right, I also discovered this later, for example, for example, if you have 1,000 yuan, do you want to buy cola, or do you want to buy water? It's just that there is no absolute right or wrong, it's just how you want to allocate this 1,000 yuan. Of course, you should drink water, drinking water is good for people, right? It replenishes water, water is essential for humans, and it also has magnesium, and magnesium is helpful for nerves and stabilizing emotions. But others say we have enough water, right? If you want to take magnesium, you can take magnesium tablets, but how much money do we have? We want happiness, we want to drink 'happy fat boy water' (soda), and it's zero-calorie, it won't make you fat, right? So, so. However, for those who want to buy water, they would think this is very unhealthy. This sugar substitute might even kill you, right? For them, people who drink water would be so boring, so monotonous, and the city has no progress. So, so I think in this regard, it's a choice of values and a choice of routes. Unless this person is like what I said, you haven't held your bottom line. So which direction do you identify with more? Of course, I personally identify with the philosophy and policy direction of Enoch Wu (Shen Boyang). Because in Chiang Wan-an's four years, indeed, my social circle is also in the Taipei area, and I really just feel that it's like this. Eight-Nine, can you go to the other side (mainland China)? What do you mean? Why do you want me to jump into lava?

Let's look at the comments. Eight-Nine, hello, Chiang Wan-an has the Chiang family lineage, does that count as Chiang Wan-an's advantage? I think, I think, yeah, I actually always think, I have told my colleagues before, I said last year, that regardless of whether this person is an adopted son, a foster son, or has no blood relation, as long as he has the ability, then that's fine. I have always had this kind of thinking. Whether it is or isn't, if his ability is good, what does it matter? If the problem is that he has no ability, then you just target his ability, right? You just target his ability. So don't, don't discuss this topic, huh. Discussing this topic is not helpful for us to return to discussing municipal policies. This matter of bloodline and lineage, I think we can talk about it if everyone has opinions after the election. But now, whose policy does everyone identify with more? OK. Ya Ya said it too, don't push him into an abyss of no return. So I said, you want to push me into lava, that's also not wrong. In the Chinese-speaking world, it is very difficult to apply democracy to true meritocracy. Right.

After all, this traditional value or this kind of culture has been around for thousands of years, but actually, recently in China, there is something popular called Han-Huang, Han-Huang theory, Han-Huang or Huang-Han, I think the emergence of this thing is for the disintegration of China, and then becoming small European-style nations or countries developing with that kind of prototype. I actually quite identify with some of the concepts, because they believe that the Ming Dynasty was the true country of the Han people, because the Song Dynasty doesn't really count as one. They think so, they think so, because there is this kind of Shatuo lineage or something, because later it was all ethnic integration.

One school of thought believes that the three rivers and four provinces are the true Han people. And another school of thought believes that the so-called Minnan region and Guangdong region are closer to the meaning of Han people. Because the language we speak now, the so-called Chinese, has been influenced by many Manchus, Jurchens, Mongols, and Turks, because their pronunciation was not good, so it has been improved and evolved into the current so-called Mandarin in the north. So, what is closer to not having wars, or not having been ruled by the Five Barbarians for too long and being influenced by foreign languages, is the so-called Minnan region in Guangdong and Fujian.

So some ancient poems, why do they not feel rhymed when read in today's Mandarin? Hey, but this poem, when you read it in Cantonese, hey, when you read it in so-called Minnan or Taiwanese, hey, why does it rhyme? Each era is different. What is the joy? Just this, so what I am talking about now is language, it does not mean that I identify with the CCP as a unified country. Let's separate this first, okay? We are discussing the distribution of language, not national identity. Of course, we are Taiwan, we are Taiwanese, and we hope that one day in the future we can have a national flag that truly represents our own self-conscious choice. But at this stage, let's just wish the Republic of China a happy birthday tomorrow, right?

Language does not equal country, of course. Then, then, then, if it were really like this, then Vietnam should return to the current China, right? It was once ruled, and even had an administrative governor, and they also used to write in Chinese characters.

Anyway, we always hope that as Taiwanese, in the future, when the CCP falls or collapses, we can have the autonomous consciousness to choose the country name we want. Whether you want to change it from the Constitution of the Republic of China, or you want to directly create a new one, anyway, I don't think this is something that will happen now. Because what everyone is most concerned about now is that once we take this action, we won't be able to let the CCP play the ambiguity strategy, we won't be able to play the ambiguity strategy, and we will have to bear the risk of whether you are willing to bet on whether Xi Jinping will go to war.

Is Xi Jinping's goal not to win? Then are you willing to take that risk? I believe the majority of people are not willing. Even if you are willing, your neighbors are not willing. So we cannot fire the first shot. Therefore, if we now suddenly and rashly remove the four characters of the Republic of China—although the CCP does not recognize the Republic of China either—suddenly and rashly removing it is equivalent to us firing the first shot, and this also violates what the United States calls unilaterally changing the status quo.

What the United States says is that either side unilaterally changes the status quo, you need to listen carefully to what the United States says. You can go back and check, I am not lying. What the United States says is a unilateral change by either side; this does not just include the CCP, it also means us. Our meaning is to maintain the status quo, and maintaining the status quo means that the Republic of China remains.

If we change the status quo, or if the CCP suddenly fires the first shot to change the status quo, encircling Taiwan, cutting off Taiwan's resources, or invading Taiwan, all of these are called changing the status quo. You can go back and check, the United States talks about this in many places. A unilateral change of the status quo by either side, you see. It is not only talking to the CCP, it is also talking to us, because for the United States, of course we are the invaded party, whether we want to change the name of the country or not, that is our business, but for the Americans.

We are—knowing full well that this will cause trouble, we still go and cause it. Then for them, they would have to travel thousands of miles to mobilize their country's resources to prevent this matter, or to resolve this matter. Then for their country's economy or country, it is something that shakes their foundation, a conclusion that would make the economy bad, right? So they also hope that neither happens. Of course, if we do this action first, the United States of course will be most displeased, and the CCP of course will also be very angry at us. But if today it is the CCP first, oh, look, we still have the Republic of China, we are still celebrating National Day tomorrow. If you suddenly attack, then we didn't give the CCP any excuse to grab onto, and this is also why Tsai Ing-wen and now Lai Ching-te still stand together with the Republic of China, because this is about not unilaterally changing the status quo. Because our ability to fight above our weight class is indeed insufficient, we need to play the game, we need to negotiate. The lives of Taiwanese people are walking a tightrope, so we must walk the tightrope well, yes.

What does changing the name have to do with war? Of course it has to do with war! Right now you have the Republic of China, and I, the CCP, say the 1992 Consensus with各自表述 (respective interpretations), the Republic of China is also China, so look, don't those people who suck up to the CCP also say that? China, China, China. When you turn around and talk back to them, they say the Republic of China is China, otherwise take out your ID card—hey, Republic of China, and it is very hard for us to explain! Then if you change this national name again, how can we play this strategic ambiguity in the future? How can we play political ambiguity in the future? How can we play diplomatic ambiguity? If you do not play this ambiguity, under the Little Pinks narrative of more than 70 years, will he be forced to launch a war? Whether against Penghu, or Kinmen, Matsu, Dongsha, or Taiwan, is he forced to launch a war so that you cannot—so that he cannot avoid playing the strategic ambiguity? Even if he is unwilling, he must do it. So how is it possible? So how is it possible? Hey.

And you have to know, according to us stripping away our personal emotions, okay? Let me say first, I will make a caveat first, I am an indigenous Taroko person. And why do I now only speak 5 percent or even 8 percent of the Taroko language? Because I was eliminated by the Republic of China government in most of the environments where we used this language, leaving me now only able to use a Chinese-speaking environment. OK, let me state this premise first. Then I am definitely more pro-Taiwan independence than any of you, because I am indigenous, which is equivalent to me being an American Indian. So you must first be clear about my stance. After being clear about this stance, we strip away my current identity and your emotions, we strip them away.

According to the fact that we will be sentenced now, and according to the constitution we obey, based on the Constitution of the Republic of China, there indeed is a Mainland Affairs Council. The Mainland Affairs Council is for the mainland area, and the mainland area is the territory of the Republic of China. And now indeed the Chinese Civil War is happening, we are now the continuation of the Chinese Civil War. Because indeed there was a civil war in the Republic of China, and that flag is Sun Yat-sen's—well, I can't even say Sun Yat-sen's, at that time it was the Five-Races-Under-One-Union flag, and then there were also the Eighteen-Star Flag, later changed to the Five-Races flag. Later Sun Yat-sen was pushed out by them during the War of Resistance Against Japan to become the founding father who was an anti-Japanese hero. Anyway, whether it is the Blue Sky flag or the Five-Races flag, these are all flags from across the strait. Now family planning, whether you want to call it family planning, or integration with Taiwan, call it whatever you want, anyway the factual result is that it is here now, right? And was there a truce agreement signed for the Chinese Civil War? No truce agreement was signed. And now indeed according to the constitution, it is the continuation of the Chinese Civil War, that is not wrong, because.

Even if you do not identify with the Republic of China, but you commit a crime outside right now, you are sentenced by the laws of the Republic of China, which means you are governed by the laws of the Republic of China. So sometimes the practical level and the emotional level are now in a very detached state, do you know? What I mean by detached is not being fragile like a glass heart, but rather separated, a separated state.

So how do we get closer, which is to truly make our hearts wish that Taiwan can be Taiwan? Even if some people resent the Republic of China, how do we push in this direction? It's actually very simple—by ancient methods, it's very simple: just stage an uprising. But who? I'm just asking you, are you going to stage an uprising now? It's impossible for you to stage an uprising now! What room do you have for an uprising? Let me ask you, what are the reasons for an uprising? It definitely, absolutely won't be political ideology towards the country. It must be 1. the economy is bad, 2. my ethnic group is severely suppressed, 3. seems like there is no third, that's it. Ah, I can't survive anymore. Look at World War I, World War II. WWI seems to be another matter, but look at those who even launched external wars—wasn't it because national resources ran out, the economy failed, suddenly there was a Great Depression, and you had no means left to solve it, so you could only overthrow, become independent, or wage war externally? Wasn't it always like that? Singapore was an exception; it was kicked out. At that time Singapore didn't even want to be kicked out, Malaysia—Singapore said no, don't kick me out, please don't kick me out. Malaysia said you must get out. Ah, that's different.

So you need to understand what I'm saying. I am definitely a Taiwan independence supporter, but according to this constitution, how should we, how should we do it, do it wisely? If everyone could just be so impulsive, then announce it right now! I also want to solve it quickly. But this won't be what the vast majority of ordinary citizens—people who don't care about politics—want to see. What they want to see most is... For example, I'll use the US-Soviet Cold War as an example: wouldn't the fastest way to solve the Soviet Union be a mutual nuclear war between both sides? Two sides hitting each other—wouldn't that be the fastest collapse? Then why drag it out for 40, 50, or 60 years to let the Soviet Union collapse? That was... that was being responsible to the common people and to the Americans, right?

Bajiu, do you think it was stupid or malicious for the government in 1951 not to ask Japan about the transfer of sovereignty in the San Francisco Peace Treaty? Which government do you mean by "the government"? I don't quite understand. Do you mean our government, or the CCP government over there? Because Xi Jinping himself, when he went to the US National Archives this time, he didn't look at the San Francisco Peace Treaty either. You know? They only had ten minutes to look, and after deducting translation time from those ten minutes, what could you look at?

Alright, let me check the comments. Actually, regarding our earlier topic of whether Shen Pao-yang will trigger a strategy with Chiang Wan-an, as well as my own analysis—the above doesn't represent reality, but only my personal views. Next: "Bajiu, do you think that regarding the Coast Guard repelling Chinese fishing vessels this time, official China treated it with a cold shoulder?" Yes, they handled it low-profile, very low-profile. So Chinese netizens are dissatisfied, Little Pinks are dissatisfied.

"Bajiu, but the other side doesn't like Shen Pao-yang. Should we compromise and yield to avoid provoking the other side?" No, no, no. You have to know the CCP's red line. The CCP's current red line is the Republic of China. Their true ultimate red line is the Republic of China and this national flag. Although they don't acknowledge it, you cannot let it disappear inside Taiwan. Because once it disappears, they won't be able to play their One China principle—the ROC abbreviation as China—their version of the principle. What they claim publicly is just the superficial red line, but their actual red line is the one I just mentioned. These are different things.

A friend from Hong Kong said: "Bajiu, I'm ashamed to say that even though I'm subscribed to you now and have been your member for a long time, sometimes some of your pro-Taiwan independence stances and remarks—mainly concentrated in your past content... Although rationally and factually I can understand and know that this is your right as a Taiwanese person, sometimes hearing you say these things still makes me feel uncomfortable inside, and I don't know why. But I will always support you."

Wait, wait, wait, wait. I can relate, I can understand, I can absolutely understand how you feel. Because when I gave speeches overseas to anti-communist Chinese people before, I said one thing: I said I very much understand your feelings; many of you have suffered persecution. Especially, okay, for example, if 10,000 Chinese people come to the United States today, but those who dare to publicly participate in subsequent activities—meaning participating continuously—might be 200 people. Those 200 people, I mean participating continuously. Why? Because some people might participate once or twice, and after getting asylum status, they stop participating. But some people, even after getting asylum status, continue to participate. For those people, I really believe over 80% of them are genuinely anti-communist. So I once told these people, when I went to give speeches, I said to them...

I can understand how you feel. First, you left your homeland and came to a non-native language country, where you not only have to readapt to the culture and language here, learning everything anew, but even have to start from the lowest-level jobs all over again. Then, your homeland, the People's Republic of China, has put you on wanted lists and opposes you, and you have no way to change the environment inside China. Meanwhile, at this time, inside the constitution of the Republic of China, it says that you mainlanders are our citizens. Yet at this moment, whether under the DP Central Government or during the Kuomintang's administration, neither has treated you as citizens endowed by the constitution, making your identity recognition extremely confused. When you say, because you want to oppose the CCP, and based on this constitution, you could also say you are citizens of the Republic of China—however, the Republic of China government has not contacted you. Furthermore, as for Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen, and Matsu currently ruled by the Republic of China, and for us Taiwanese, we believe that we Taiwanese are simply Taiwanese. Even if our country is called the Republic of China, we are Taiwanese, which is two completely different things from the Chinese under the CCP. So I know that a huge divergence will appear in your identity recognition and sense of belonging. You need to find a reliance, or perhaps a spiritual identity—whether an identity of state, nationality, or ethnicity—you will have a psychological conflict, or rather, when you hear a Taiwanese or a citizen of the Republic of China talking to you like this today, you might feel, "Shouldn't you be close like family with me? I am not against anti-communism, but when talking about what China should be like, you will naturally feel some resistance inside." It's very normal. After a few years, you can gradually adapt. Because when I first started my channel, I couldn't understand the feelings of these people either. But later, after having in-depth interviews with them, reaching out to these different comfort zones, and accepting these ideas from the pro-unification faction, I discovered something.

Both of us found common ground, and they also warmly welcomed a Taiwan independence supporter like me. They also knew that I hope for Taiwan's independence. And have you noticed? Overseas, especially starting from last year, when I attended June Fourth events in Los Angeles and in front of the CCP Embassy, those anti-communist Chinese, Hong Kongers, and Tibetans did not only raise the flag of the Republic of China, but they also raised the Taiwan independence flag desired by Taiwanese. They said they hope the Republic of China can return to their mainland, but Taiwanese can establish their own country—this had never happened before. So we are working hard on this.

As the saying goes, in elections, whoever gets more votes wins; it's the same internationally, whoever has more supporting voices wins. So, I can understand your point of worry just now, along with the sense of alienation and separation inside you. Reality is as you know, but emotionally you might not be able to get over that hurdle, I can understand you. Ah, thank you 89, wish you happy every day, thank you.

Then I said it, right? I said it right on the spot: I attended so many overseas presentations for Chinese people, and I said, why is it that a Taiwan independence supporter comes to support your event, and this Taiwan independence supporter can currently accept the Republic of China while the CCP still exists—then why do you still support the Kuomintang? Did the Kuomintang send people from their youth division? Did Xu Xiaoxin come to support you? No. The most anti-communist ones should be the Chinese Kuomintang and the supporters of the Kuomintang, right? How come it's a supporter of the Green Camp, a supporter who hopes to overthrow the Kuomintang, coming to support the Chinese Kuomintang's enemy, the Communist Party, wanting to overthrow them, right? How come I came to support you? I said, so I told him, what we support is not the Republic of China or Taiwan, what we support is anti-communism and supporting human rights.

So, by the same token, think about it, think deeper about the position of Taiwanese people, because I also understand your position. That's why starting from this year, many events have appeared, and that protest against Zheng Liwen was also something I worked hard to persuade you guys about. Have you noticed I interviewed some people, last year, the year before, and three years ago I interviewed some people in the US and Europe, who either caused a scene on the spot or confronted Zheng Liwen, asking, "Aren't you the chairperson of the Chinese Kuomintang? Why don't you lead us to oppose communism, recover the mainland, and reclaim Nanjing? I am a mainlander, I was born in Nanjing, I am the most qualified to talk to you. I am a Wuhan person, I am not a Bluebird, I was born in the mainland. Why don't you, Zheng Liwen, lead us to oppose communism instead of licking the CCP over there, and even those who welcomed you at the airport, or even some Fujian associations that support the Five-Star Red Flag attended your event." Hey, when the chairperson of the Chinese Kuomintang visited the United States in the past, did they ever encounter such a situation? No. So through the efforts of people like us overseas, these overseas Chinese have come to clearly recognize that the Chinese Kuomintang is colluding with the CCP on diplomatic issues, so they came out to protest. In the past, they were very supportive. So our battlefield is not just in Taiwan's elections; we also hope that internationally, Taiwan independence, or the demise of the CCP, or whether the Republic of China should return to their mainland, can become topics open for discussion.

Alright, thank you for your gift, your fireworks. It's twelve o'clock now, let's chat for another ten minutes and then end the stream. Oh, it's already Happy National Day! Wishing a happy birthday to the parts of our current country that are not ruled by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)! Alright, hey, just see if Holger Chen posts something today. Just wait until twelve o'clock, will he post? He used to post every time. I am a staunch Taiwan independence supporter, I support the Republic of China! Happy birthday! Let's see if he posts today. It seems he didn't post last year, right? Aiguo Kun, why did you join and then leave the membership again? What exactly do you want?

Beiping is a city of the Republic of China. Let me tell you, overthrowing a state isn't that easy, it really isn't. If you directly overthrow a totalitarian regime before finishing—that is, before the people have achieved civic awareness—it might still end up totalitarian, or it might become authoritarian. Slightly better, just slightly better, but still authoritarian. For example, the collapse of the Soviet Union: the Soviet Union was a totalitarian state, right? Now, modern Russia is an authoritarian state. Although it has presidential elections, it is not democracy as we understand it. So, if the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) were to suddenly collapse right now and these people suddenly got ballots, it would probably still be a party similar to the Kuomintang or the Communist Party taking power, right? It might not be as dictatorial as before, but it might still retain fifty percent or even seventy percent of it, so. Of course, if you never let the CCP collapse, you will never be able to allow the people inside to acquire greater information and stronger cohesion to bring about change. This is actually very complicated. You've looked at this, everyone talks about how many times the Founding Father attempted revolution before succeeding. Though he only found out about the Wuhan uprising and the nationwide responses while reading newspapers abroad. Let's put that aside for now, because that's the narrative pushed by the ruling faction of the Chinese Nationalist Party, right? But coming back to the topic, whether it's the Wuchang Uprising, the Second Guangzhou Uprising at Huanghuagang, or those anti-Qing activities. In the end, wasn't the key to success consolidation? The final key was the establishment, right? Defecting to the other side, right? What I mean by the establishment is the royalists, as well as those who hoped for a constitutional monarchy. In other words, they hoped the Great Qing could be reformed, but my country would still be the Great Qing, right? I would still be a subject of the Great Qing. I hope the Great Qing's national fortune can endure forever! I hope you can enact a constitution so we can become a country like Japan or Britain, or even like the United States of America. However, we would still keep the title of the Emperor. In the end, these royalist sympathizers, and then the people advocating constitutional reform, were utterly disappointed. So they represented the intellectuals, they represented the political and business elites. Political and business elites, that's right—prominent clans, the scholar-gentry, along with merchants, traders, and entrepreneurs—in the end, all of them leaned toward the revolution. Add to that the underworld forces like the Green Gang, all consolidating together. Only then did they have the leverage to challenge the Great Qing, saying: I have these forces now, let me negotiate with you, Yuan Shikai. Either we fight it out to the death, or both sides suffer mutual destruction. Of course, in the end, Yuan Shikai took advantage of the situation. We can talk about that another time when there's a chance. Anyway, the general direction was like that. Of course, there are many details I cannot elaborate on during this livestream, so what I want to say is, founding a state is very complicated. It's not like simply resorting to arms will make it succeed; it's very complicated. If it hadn't been for the Green Gang, the political and business elites, and then those royalists and establishment figures stepping up to support Sun Yat-sen or support the Huanghuagang revolutionaries, the Republic of China would never have been established, and the Great Qing would never have been overthrown. Look at the strength of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, it was already formidable, right? The strength of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was far greater than Sun Yat-sen's, wasn't it? Did the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom overthrow it? No, it didn't. Therefore, including the Soviet Union, including the Great Qing I just mentioned, and also the current CCP, none of these are simple matters.

Maybe the CCP will truly defy all expectations, and an unprecedented collapse or transition opportunity in history will emerge. Maybe a script that we never even conceived in history will happen to them, who knows, right? It could be something we cannot fathom right now, yet it collapses and transitions in a completely unprecedented manner. That would be great too! Maybe it will happen. Yeah, actually, actually, let's leave it at that.

The Soviet Union broke up into multiple countries—actually, the Soviet Union didn't really break up into multiple countries, it was just Ukraine, and then countries like Estonia that came out. Most of the territories still became republics and then merged into the Russian Federation. Most of the countries also continued to be Russia's lackeys. Only Ukraine, and then a small portion like Lithuania, peeled away, separated out. Most of it is still the Russian Federation, like the Tatar Republic, and some small Siberian entities whose names you can't even recall, those are all member states of the Russian Federation.

Alright then, it's very late. Any other questions? One last question before I end the stream. For the last question: whoever is picked on the 8th or 9th, that's who I'll vote for. Come on, last question! It's just twelve o'clock; I went to Xinzhuang to campaign today, so I'm also very tired. Then I shot a video, and then did a livestream with everyone, also very tired. Here comes the last question! I will pick a worthwhile question and answer it. Thank you for liking my videos. 79, who is 79? Hope to see 89 one day; 89 has grown old. Yeah, sigh, hope I can live to be 150 years old? Hurry up, hurry up! I don't see any worthwhile questions; rather, I've already answered many of these questions repeatedly.

Recently, many Simplified Chinese YouTube shows have been supporting Puma Shen, but shows I haven't watched before, like Tang Hao's show, maybe you haven't watched them either. However, their stance is naturally more pro-Taiwan, because I know them, and I also often watch their shows. I collect some of their intelligence—well, I can't call it collecting, I just also refer to some of their videos, so they naturally support the pro-Taiwan faction or the pan-Taiwan faction.

Can I invite nine generals to appear on the same stage? No, I can't, I can't harm them, I can't harm him. You have to know, he's dealing with all these changing points, which means he is under some pressure. But the fact that he's still willing to come out and say a few things—we should understand him, and we can't appear on the same stage with this fugitive anymore. Is he domestic, right? Well, then I won't talk about that. Actually, I have interviewed Puma Shen twice, but right now I think what he needs most is not to appear on our exclusive interview, but rather on the Blue camp's shows, or even on Kevin Kuo's show. That's what we hope everyone wants to see, right? What he should be appearing on right now isn't my show, but Kevin Kuo's, or he could even debate with Cheng Li-wun—that wouldn't be a bad idea either. What did you say? Because he assumes you always support Puma Shen or the Green camp, so now they ignore you, and you are all being cold-shouldered. Can you put it that way? Can you really put it that way? He hasn't offended us either. He hasn't said anything like, "Anyway, you all support me now, so I will ignore the issues you care about." He hasn't done that either. If he did that today, of course we would be upset, but he hasn't. For example, for example, I'll give an example: you, Ba Jiu, attach great importance to national security and diplomacy, and I used to study the Chinese Communist Party as well, but now for the sake of an election, I stop being anti-communist, and I stop talking about these things. If that were the case, we might feel angry, right? But he hasn't done that, so you don't need to leave these kinds of divisive comments here.

There was a 170-unit donation, and the donor asked about history: 'Why couldn't the Southern regimes after 1644—you mean the Southern Ming, right?—last for over a hundred years like the Jin state after 317, or the Song state after 1127, commonly known as the Southern Song?' Let's put it this way: the problems of the Ming Dynasty were very complex, with many structural issues, primarily economic. I think it's quite difficult to use it as a reference for the current post-economic model of the CCP. I'm afraid that talking about this could take an hour. The Ming Dynasty was affected by too many economic structural problems. You have to realize that the economy of the Ming Dynasty was actually quite poor. During the so-called Zhang Juzheng reforms, or when the sea ban was finally lifted—because previously there were these so-called Wokou pirates causing chaos, so there were very few ports for maritime trade. Before that, the purpose of Zheng He's voyages was first to project national prestige, and second to find the Jianwen Emperor. Oh, his purpose was not to improve the economy; it was different. So, of course, later on, Spanish silver, Japanese silver, and Indian silver flooded into the Ming Dynasty. But at that time, the Ming Dynasty didn't have the concept of European stocks, or public listings, or a banking system. Those money shops don't count. Also, they didn't know how to issue national debt, or how to conduct financial or economic regulation. 'The economy is overheating now, so I should tighten it. The economy is in deflation now, so I should stimulate it.' They didn't have these concepts back then. So, a massive amount of silver flowed in, then suddenly the silver supply was cut off, and after the tax reform, everyone was using copper coins or silver for transactions. Once that was cut off, the entire economy became worthless. Then there was a lot of collusion between officials and merchants, and the so-called Donglin factional strife, right? The Donglin factional strife was their own internal struggle, and the struggle between the scholar-gentry families and the emperor. You really shouldn't think it was just a struggle between eunuchs and the scholar-gentry; it was actually that the emperor didn't want to be controlled. So, look at the reforms after Zhang Juzheng—Zhang Juzheng was the Wanli Emperor's teacher, right? I'm not mistaken, am I? Right, Zhang Juzheng was Wanli's teacher. So, you see why Wanli was so diligent before Zhang Juzheng died? But later, after Zhang Juzheng died, Wanli stopped attending court, stopped holding meetings, and didn't even hold meetings behind the scenes, right? I'm not wrong, am I? You can correct me if I'm wrong, because I'm not Lu Jie, I can only answer based on my impression. Later, Wanli didn't attend court, right? He wouldn't even listen when people said, 'Oh, Emperor, our Minister of Revenue or our Minister of Defense has died.' I'm assuming, 'Our Minister of Defense has passed away, can you appoint one? Or I have a list here, you pick one.' And the Wanli Emperor wouldn't even look at it, he wouldn't even say, 'I don't want to look, you pick one.' He just read and didn't reply. This caused many people to hold multiple positions at the time, and everyone just let things rot. So it was a very broad structural problem. And why did he let it rot? Because the scholar-gentry and nobles wanted to establish a crown prince, they wanted to force him to establish the crown prince they liked. But the emperor had his own favorite concubine and his own favorite child, and he wanted to establish his favorite son. However, because it involved relatives, in-laws, or whoever being the crown prince would be useful to me as an official—whether it could bring me graft, corruption, or new projects—I wanted to support this crown prince because he was easy to control. But what if the emperor didn't want to? There were many reasons, and this was just one of them. And of course, at that time, another thing happened: the global Little Ice Age. There was a global Little Ice Age at that time, so crop yields worldwide were not very good, leading to small famines. So, under multiple causes.

There were uprisings! So for the people at that time, why couldn't the Southern Ming last that long? Everyone was disappointed with the Southern Ming, everyone was disappointed with the Ming Dynasty, right? And the Qing Dynasty was also lying at the beginning, tricking you into submitting to them, saying you didn't have to shave your hair and could keep Han customs. A few years after seizing power, 'No, everyone shave your hair for me.' Submitting as a vassal was also a lie, right?

So, for the people of the Southern Ming, or for the Han people, I could keep my official position, I could even keep part of my property, even if I was being lied to, I could still have my original position. I could also, the emperor was still that emperor, and the system was still that system. Simply put, if the King of France ruled me today, and the King of England ruled me, does it make a difference to me? Now the King of France has failed, why should I risk my life to fight the King of England? Why don't I help the King of England? The King of England even promised to restore my position and give me benefits, so I'll help the King of England. And then, during the Southern Ming period, everyone looked at each other with resentment. That's the reason, because you didn't have a single orthodoxy, everyone thought they were the orthodoxy. The Southern Ming was dying, and there was also Zheng Chenggong. Well, who is the orthodoxy? So this was the heart disease that the Chongzhen Emperor had himself.

At that time, moving south was completely feasible. Furthermore, Li Zicheng had actually told you that he didn't really want to overthrow you. Li Zicheng had told you multiple times that he just wanted to survive, to be granted an official post, and he could even help you wipe out enemies, march north, and fight against the Manchus! But you refused. You stubbornly held onto your pride, you dragged your feet, you trusted no one, crying, "All the ministers have misled me." You insisted on living and dying with the state. Fine, you want to live and die with it, then go ahead and do so. But at least send your crown prince away—your crown prince, your legitimate heir, the legitimate successor of the Great Ming, could have gone south to Nanjing to find Shi Kefa. At that point, national unity might still have had a chance, and nobody would have questioned your legitimacy. Hypothetically speaking, why should you represent the DPP? Who agreed that you represent the DPP? All the different factions of our DPP can represent the DPP, why should it be you? It was because the Chongzhen Emperor's crown prince was absent, and that was one of the problems. So what I'm talking about is something very complex and structural, which probably can't be fully covered in a single livestream.

So I can only touch on it very superficially, like picking out a hundred points and just tapping on them lightly one by one. Because the collapse of a nation is rooted in long-standing, multi-layered structural problems; it really cannot be explained simply in an article. Common people destitute, corrupt officials, inflation, people unable to survive, officials driving the people to revolt—it's never that simple.

The Discourses on Salt and Iron—Taiwan currently levies very little on those. Speaking of this, it suddenly reminded me again. And back then, regarding the problems of the Ming Dynasty just mentioned, during the Wanli era there were already countless exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous levies, and down to the Chongzhen era there were still exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous levies. Constantly lacking money, constantly short of funds, so taxes were increased: "I see a new business opportunity here, levy harsh taxes, squeeze out taxes." Isn't China like this today? Isn't China right now doing the exact same thing? The treasury has run out of money: "Oh, here's a new business opportunity, you guys need to pay back taxes, all those past grey areas must be back-taxed!" Your economy is already bad, yet you collect back taxes, and businesses even have to use all their funds just to pay taxes. How do you expect them to innovate? In the mid-to-late Ming Dynasty, this exact situation occurred. Back then there were mines—suddenly people struck a lot of mines, tapped into a lot of new commercial opportunities, many merchants gathered, and business seemed to be recovering. But then, all of a sudden, you tax this, you tax that, you levy a heavy tax—say, 50%, just as an example. Then you even handed it over to local officials to let them apply pressure, especially in the Yunnan-Guizhou region. In the end, the economy slumped again, getting even worse. You collect taxes hoping for the economy to do well, hoping for fiscal revenues to be healthy. But by doing that, the economy gets even worse. And as the economy gets worse, it ties into issues like inflation, deflation, and everything else pops up, right? So it's a very complicated issue, which ultimately led to the point where people could no longer trust the word "people" as a representation. Furthermore, numerous warlords and factions emerged, asking, "Why should we listen to you? Why should we listen to you?"

Was the stance toward China in 1989 anti-CCP but not anti-China? Let me tell you: anti-CCP or anti-China? Does your "China" mean Chinese culture? Or what? What is your definition of "China"? That statement, let me tell you, no matter how correct it may be, cannot come from the mouth of a Taiwanese person like me. You have to remember, you must remember that when it comes to matters of race or nationality, only people from that country can say it themselves; only their own people can say it. You must remember this point. For example, if I am a member of the Truku tribe today, and I think that our Truku tribe might have had some bad history in the past—say, centuries ago we practiced headhunting. When we were happy, celebrating a harvest festival, we went headhunting. But do you think that value is right today? However, only our own people have the right to address that. Having that identity and bloodline, I myself can say it. Me saying it is fine, but when it comes to the question of "whether being anti-CCP means being anti-China," only those who actually live there and have that bloodline have the qualification to say it. You need to understand what I mean. For instance, on certain issues, certain ethnic issues, if you aren't one of them, then don't speak on it. For example, regarding certain issues concerning Black people, they can talk about their own issues themselves, but you can't. Even if you think it's true, you cannot say it. Do you understand what I mean? Why? Because if you say it, the focus can easily be blurred, and your opponents will seize it to hype and exploit it, and you won't be able to achieve your goal, which is opposing the CCP, right?

Am I right? I'm not wrong, am I? When someone born in the People's Republic of China tells you that opposing the CCP means also opposing this, that it's not just about opposing the CCP, his argument holds ground, because the Little Pinks cannot refute him. But if I say it today, they'll say: "You Taiwan independence element," "you Bluebird," "you whatever," "what gives you the right?" You have no leverage, because they've already derailed the topic. Then you have to spend a ton of time explaining yourself, so do you still want to oppose the CCP or not? Therefore, I have privately told some CCP influencers that everyone has their own battlefield to fight on, and the issues each person touches on cannot be the same. Just like you: you can't touch certain specific indigenous issues, but I can. Do you understand? So what we want now is the same thing. We need to persuade more people; that is to say, whether it's about opposing the CCP or voting, whoever gets more votes wins. So you need to use the right strategy. If you think your method can persuade people with that kind of personality, then use it. But if you think it can't, then don't use it. It's as simple as that.

Come on, the person asked a very good question, so let me just ask one thing. What is Chinese culture? What you said is very good. We all know that "Zhonghua" (Chinese) is a term created in modern times by people like Liang Qichao, and back then, it originally didn't include the Qing Dynasty, the Tibetans, and so on. It was later created to unite people, so that when our country was suddenly about to be established, it wouldn't be carved up by the imperialist powers, wouldn't be taken away by Russia, wouldn't be carved up by Japan, so they forcefully concocted this kind of state nationalism to build the nation. I think it was a very necessary temporary measure that fit that era, and indeed that's right, what else could it be? But later it was exploited by the Kuomintang, and it was picked up and further exploited by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). So these two parties have forced some of their own bad ideology and evil methods onto these two newly created modern terms, and then we end up with all sorts of different interpretations. Because, for instance, I have Malaysian friends and Singaporean friends who often meet in Taiwan, and they will also call themselves Chinese (Huaren). Then I ask, what does this

Brother 89, I've been placed under an exit ban, how can I get out? Then you have no choice but to take the 'walk-line' route, you really have no choice but to take the 'walk-line' route. Why were you placed under an exit ban? You must not be a simple person, right? How could you be placed under an exit ban? Are you a business person? Or are you a technical professional with special expertise? Otherwise, how could you be placed under an exit ban? You must be a person with special expertise, right? Or something like that, right? Even if the other party hates the CCP, if they are inside the Great Firewall, would you still try to win them over? Of course, otherwise why would I have so many leaks?

Hey, there's no Nicky Wu who can be my dad, that's okay. Fifty-five years old, about the same age as my dad. My dad seems to be fifty-seven, about the same, oh, fifty-seven, fifty-eight, about the same. Did you see me at the Xinzhuang Baseball Stadium today? What should you do if you are placed under an exit ban? You have no choice but to take the 'walk-line' route. And what is the reason for your exit ban? Are you being accused of fraud? Or are you considered a talent with special expertise? I need to know the reason why you were placed under an exit ban.

I saw that you are quite young, thank you. Alright, I'm going to sleep. I saw you standing by the stage, in the front row with a sea view. Good night, thank you for becoming a member. Seriously, I'm very tired, hurry up, go drink if you want to drink, go play video games if you want to play video games, go do bad things, do embarrassing things, hurry up and do them, then go to sleep, go to sleep, go watch TV, watch TV. Good night.
