Taipei Has a Mayor Who Loves Staged Photo Ops

News is best when listened to on 'News Hardcore'. I hope everyone is doing well, and I wish you all a happy weekend. Recently, everyone should pay more attention to safety, because as you know, a typhoon is coming. It is very regrettable that Taipei has a mayor, Chiang Wan-an, who only likes to pose for photos, does not do serious work, and neglects his official duties. Today, we will discuss how he has been posing for photos recently. My livestream title was clearly changed; this was last week's title, why did this thing pop up? 'Taipei has a mayor who loves to pose for photos'—that is the correct title. Let me change it slightly, let me change it slightly. Okay, it's modified here, OK, so no problem. I hope everyone can see clearly and hear my voice. Martin Z, your account name is too long. Hi, Hello, Anyo Haseyo, I really like speaking Korean. Although everyone is already asleep, right? It's fine, I know that in Taiwan, there are many night owls, and many people who don't sleep. And everyone, I believe you all like watching 4X Cat's livestreams; 4X Cat also livestreams in the middle of the night Taiwan time. So, since he is not currently livestreaming, I invite 4X Cat's fans to watch our 'News Hardcore' channel. Anyway, the content we discuss and our stance, I think Cat and I are probably 80% to 90% in agreement, so you are very welcome. I am also good friends with Cat; last time he came to Europe, he looked us up. When we are in Taiwan, it's true, my wife and I both look him up. He is a great person, very cute, and very knowledgeable about all the big and small things happening in Taiwan now. OK, good.

Today, I hope that during this typhoon, everyone is not in danger and did not go out, because I saw that, it seems that for now, there is one person, the death toll is one, unfortunately, on the beach, and this is a problem. This time, it seems everyone got through the typhoon quite safely. However, even so, Chiang Wan-an will definitely strike a pose, and Chiang Wan-an will definitely make Taipei citizens feel that he is very annoying, because he wants to engage in all kinds of, all kinds of experiences. I really think it's a miracle that he was elected mayor of Taipei. If at that time, because at that time there was Chen Shih-chung and Huang Shan-shan, only under such circumstances did he get elected quite easily. Even with that happening, look at him from his election until this year, basically there are no political achievements. He keeps saying he completed the Big Dome, but that was all Ko's work; he didn't create anything of his own. Also, the fresh milk for everyone and the nutritious lunches, those can be considered this year's achievements. And the 'Five-Yan City'—the 'Five-Yan City' only started to be implemented this year, and I think the implementation is a mess. I don't know why, but those 'Xi-Yan' districts of his keep burning. And besides this, Taipei is now full of cockroaches, full of rats, and the gutters are clogged because the gutters haven't been cleaned. As you know, we are often in Taiwan; my wife is from Taipei, my wife is from Taipei, and I have lived in Taipei for quite a long time. I am also a Taipei citizen, and I have seen with my own eyes that Taipei City has become worse and worse over time. And the worst, I originally thought Ko Wen-je was the worst, but now I can say, there is no worst, only worse. Chiang Wan-an has proven this.

Every time I go to Taipei, actually, you know, Taiwan is quite big and has a large population with many places to visit, but the capital of Taiwan doesn't have, well, it just doesn't look like what a capital should look like. It really doesn't look like a capital at all. To be honest, regarding the cleanliness of the city, let me tell you—from Taichung to Changhua, Yunlin, Chiayi, Tainan, Kaohsiung, and any city heading north to Hsinchu and Miao-li Kingdom—all cities are cleaner than Taipei. Right now, Taipei is the city that I think does the worst job in terms of cleanliness. The reason is simple: when the water is muddy, there will be cockroaches, mice, and then those ferns that sprout up. Every time it rains, it floods. You know what I mean? Speaking of flooding, there used to be a saying in Taipei about Shezi Island always flooding, because due to its terrain, it's more prone to flooding, so they built a very large flood wall, which is a dike, and then it didn't flood as much. Now it floods again. Why does it flood again? Because Chiang Wan-an stopped clearing the drains, so it floods again. And he is also the type—although the one who looked down on the people of Shezi the most was probably Ko Wen-je, who last time said he would just cut right through there with an assault method. Now, Chiang Wan-an is pretty much the same: he doesn't treat the people of Shezi, Shilin, or anyone in Taipei outside of Songshan and Zhongshan districts, or Xinyi District, as Taipei citizens. But the people of Shezi also have one vote per person, and Xinyi District also has one vote per person. Then there is the issue of the relocation of the airport. Currently, everyone knows my stance: I am opposed to Taipei losing an airport. Strategically speaking, Taiwan needs two airports in the northern region. Back during the Japanese colonial period, Taipei had two airports, also called the North Airport and the South Airport. Now, the former South Airport area is a golf course, and the former North Airport is what was renamed Songshan Airport. Speaking of investing in Taipei, one of Huang In-hsun's major considerations is Songshan Airport. Wealthy people really like Songshan Airport because once you arrive, you are right in the city center, which is very convenient. No matter where you go in Taipei, it is very convenient. Moreover, what Huang In-hsun wants to invest in is also in Shilin District. That is, high-tech people value... time is money, right? And Chiang Wan-an says over there that Huang In-hsun would take the Taoyuan MRT. Just considering personal safety, who is going to take the Taoyuan MRT? And he keeps saying absurd things like, what is New York like? New York has airports close to the downtown area; getting from LaGuardia to Manhattan is also very close. New York has several airports, but maybe Chiang Wan-an thinks New York only has JFK or Newark. I quite like Newark because you can drive directly over to New Jersey; I think it's not that inconvenient. JFK is more troublesome, but there is also LaGuardia. LaGuardia is a super awesome airport, and getting from there to anywhere in New York City is very fast and close. Many cities also choose to build airports right next to the city. However, Taipei's airport is truly the most convenient because there is an airport right in the city center. Wealthy people will definitely love it; they can do business, make money, let Taiwan make money, you make money, I make money, everyone makes money—that's how it is.

After finishing that, what comes next? It is striking a pose, staging photo ops. He is naturally someone who loves staging photo ops the most, as everyone knows. He cares deeply about his appearance and his image. But I think this typhoon performance was a bit over the top. Over the past four years, Taipei has had typhoons every year, and this is the first time he claimed he wore glasses because he couldn't sleep. The scale of this typhoon wasn't even as big as previous ones. You know, during his term, there have been even bigger typhoons, but because this typhoon happened during an election year, he felt very worried. And because he likes playing that kind of simulation game, it is obvious he just loves posing for photos. The problem with posing for photos is that there was a branch he went to deal with, and the staff there were very awkward, telling him, "Please handle that small branch," otherwise they were afraid he might get hurt. And this time, you know, it had already been cleaned up, sorted out, and swept, and he just... waiting for the mayor to arrive, as if the mayor himself cleaned it up and made the city clean. He also had to experience riding the crane, and experience everything, wanting to take photos of everything, wanting to strike a pose for everything. As everyone knows, the sanitation workers and Environmental Protection Bureau personnel in Taipei City, along with people from all walks of life, are the ones dealing with the consequences caused by typhoons every time. It's always like this every time; there is no need for you to come out and strike a pose there. Instead, it makes people feel inconvenienced, awkward, and feel like you are wasting time. This mayor is dispensable; that mayor really, with him or without him, I feel having no mayor is actually better. But if he is there, it's best not to have any presence at all, because it just adds trouble to the citizens of Taipei. Everything is like this; not a single policy he implemented was done well, you know? School lunches turned into causing diarrhea, smoking areas turned into almost catching fire together. Fortunately, those smoking areas haven't burned down nearby buildings yet. Moreover, near the Taipei City Hall, there is a smoking area, and smoking areas were also built near schools, with second-hand smoke drifting directly toward the children, who have to inhale second-hand smoke every day. This is the political achievement of Jiang Wan-an. As for a mayor, you know, scolding Han Kuo-yu—I think Han Kuo-yu is terrible, but when Han Kuo-yu was the mayor of Kaohsiung, he actually did one thing very well: he cleared the drainage ditches. He cleared the ditches very cleanly. So if you ask the people of Kaohsiung what they think is the most positive achievement of Han Kuo-yu, it's that he cleared the drainage ditches. It's things like flat roads, bright lights, and clean ditches. Actually, it sounds like a slogan, but in reality, as a mayor, these are the most basic things: your roads must be flat, your lights must be bright, and your drainage ditches must be clean. The roads in Taipei are not considered uneven, so I'll give him that, but the lights are not bright in many places, and the drainage ditches are dirty. The ditches are dirty, you know? Because once, when we were walking to the bus stop after closing the night market at night, we took one look at the drainage ditch and were scared to death. It looked like something straight out of Resident Evil inside. Has everyone seen the latest Resident Evil? Does everyone remember? Those mutant rats and cockroaches, and those huge zombies with rats coming out of their bellies—you look down below and it's Resident Evil, Resident Evil, Resident Evil! This is Taipei City. I have been to every city in Taiwan except Taitung; I really haven't been to Taitung. From any place, including Changhua, Yunlin, Yuanlin, Changhua Yuanlin, Chiayi, and any small place or small city in Taiwan, like Nantou, Yilan, Hualian, none of them have this—you look at the drainage ditch and you see Resident Evil. Only Taipei, only Taipei. So this mayor, apart from staging photo ops, really has no other political achievements, in my opinion.

So every time, because you know we are also abroad, and I also do academic research, many of our friends who attend seminars with me say, 'You've lived in Taiwan for so long, where do you suggest going?' For example, when it comes to Taiwan, absolutely do not stay in Taipei City. Really, do not stay in Taipei City. You might look at something like Taipei 101 on the first day, those landmarks, and the Human Rights Museum is quite worth seeing, and then one day is enough. Don't waste your time in Taipei. The real Taiwan—because if you stay in Taipei, you won't like Taiwan. If you really want to like Taiwan, you have to go to Taichung, you have to go to Nantou, you have to go to Chiayi, go hiking, see beautiful scenery, and then go to Tainan. Taiwan's history is all in Tainan, from the earliest Anping, to Chihkan Tower, to the Matsu Temple, all kinds of things—Taiwan's history is all there. Then go to Kaohsiung; Kaohsiung is Taiwan's progress. And if you have time, you can go to Kenting. If you really want to experience the whole of Taiwan, I haven't been to Taitung so I don't know, I heard it's quite beautiful, but you can go to Hualien. We don't like the KMT, but Hualien and Taroko, Taroko is really beautiful, Hualien is great. It's not because of the Hualien government, it's because its natural environment is very beautiful, really very beautiful. The sea is beautiful, and Taroko National Park is also very beautiful. It's a pity that this beautiful place is controlled by a bunch of bastards; it's very regrettable, it's truly regrettable. Not one of those KMT members is not a bastard. Yuxuan, 4679, very interesting, I'll buy you a coffee. Also, I think his changing glasses is AI smart glasses, which can directly display text on the lenses. You know, that feeling like a teleprompter, or like some TV programs where the host wears an earpiece and the director tells them what to say and how to react. I think he wears regular glasses, but you know, every time he finishes speaking, he is a narcissistic personality. I am not a psychologist, but I really feel he is very narcissistic, and this kind of narcissist only cares about their image. For example, in this environment, I am this kind of person. For example, when Chiang Wan-an watches a fashion show, he is a fashionista. When he goes to pick up tree branches, he is a hardworking Chiang Wan-an, wearing a hard hat and a vest, pretending to be a hardworking person. When he holds a meeting at the city hall, he is a workaholic Chiang Wan-an. So he has to wear glasses, and he even made up a story about how he couldn't sleep or something. He has several, you know, different frames, and different, like a model, doesn't a model strike several poses at once? He strikes different poses and thinks about what looks good. He only cares about whether he looks good and what his image is, not his policy, let alone his political record, because there is no political record. When there is no political record, he has to talk about policy. What is his policy? 'Qiansongji' (moving Songshan Airport)? I don't think this is a good policy, and this policy only came out three weeks ago. Everyone can go watch Councilor Miao Poya question him. I think Miao Poya was great this time. You know, no one has talked about moving Songshan Airport for three years. Miao Poya brought it up. They went to dig into Miao Poya's imagination; those very detailed regulations and processes, she has mastered them very well. So she just said, 'You don't have it, do you?' Chiang Wan-an didn't know how to answer either. So this is Chiang Wan-an, and that is why he is afraid of debates, because it will reveal his incompetence. It will reveal his incompetence. So the KMT is not polite to him either. Didn't Tang Xianglong also say, 'If you don't claim the Chiang name, you can't be mayor'? Whether he should claim the Chiang name is also a question, but this is his... you know, we are diverse and inclusive. Your sexual orientation, your gender identity—if you are transgender, we respect it. We are diverse and inclusive; this is your choice, and we respect your choice. But I think, Chiang, I really don't understand why you have to insist on associating yourself with this family that has harmed countless Taiwanese people. I think claiming the Chiang name is a big minus, a big minus. Because what is the Chiang family? The Chiang family is a criminal gang. The Chiang family members are also Chinese Communist Party members; Chiang Ching-kuo was a Soviet Communist Party member. And Chiang Wei-kuo was a Nazi, a Nazi soldier, you know, he even occupied Vienna. And they were fascists, like Chiang Kai-shek's Blue Shirts Society, that history, and they engaged in collective dictatorship, grabbing Taiwan's resources and killing Taiwanese people. They were addicted to killing Taiwanese people. And he insists on associating himself with this family. Chiang Ching-kuo was also like that, you know, the intelligence agencies in the past were all controlled by him. The persecution of the Kaohsiung Incident, the persecution of Taiwan's dissidents, were all done by the Chiang family. I think if you really love Taiwan, you would stay away from this family, and you wouldn't want to associate yourself with this family. I won't say anything else, it's not important. He identifies with this family from the bottom of his heart. What is this family? Sexual promiscuity, their sexual habits are very messy. Which one of them didn't have a mistress? Chiang Kai-shek had a bunch of mistresses, Chiang Ching-kuo had a bunch of mistresses.

I feel that I really sympathize with Chiang Fang-liang, I feel that Chiang Fang-liang is a very pitiful person, really very pitiful, he was kidnapped by the Chiang family, you know, being human-trafficked, forced to leave his hometown, and then upon arriving in China, looked down upon by Chiang Kai-shek, looked down upon by Soong Mei-ling, with a language barrier and different customs, and then that asshole Chiang Ching-kuo even had an affair, you know, that Winston Chang was also born from an affair, and then he himself continued to have affairs, talking about some gift sent from heaven, the families of these people, you know, whether it's true or false today, but just looking at the morality of these people, their moral concept is zero, zero even for the most basic loyalty to a wife, they can't even do that, and then after saying that, you want to get yourself involved with this bunch of terrible guys, I think, if you think about it, you should also know how rotten this family is, wouldn't your heart be better, but your sexual orientation, the surname's surname, how much I respect, so that's this cross-surname growth, and in the end it will only result in someone who loves to pose, the old name of Tainan is Taiwan, the Taiwanese language吧, Taiwanese language吧 no, it's just pronounced Taiwan, but it's that Taiwanese, the Chinese characters are Taoyuan, New York mice, can ride the subway, I'm telling you, New York is a very dirty city indeed, New York is also the city that least represents America, and they are now controlled by the Communist Party, New York has a lot of problems, New York was originally, you know, New York for a time had very few mice, almost none, that was when Giuliani, Giuliani was mayor, when they had a Republican mayor, the others controlled by the Democrats didn't care much about those plot problems either, New York itself is a very special city, but it is not the capital, it already represents itself, it is an international city, it also shows what the current international situation is like, so I think the example of New York, New York does not represent America, New York does not represent the American average, the American average is very neat and very clean, that kind of lifestyle in New York is also far cry from the lifestyle of ordinary Americans, you know, Americans are very, many are very devout Christians, very conservative, this place called New York, it is a state within a state, very special, New York is very special.

I think Taoyuan is better than Taipei, and I also think Taoyuan is better than Taipei. Especially the mountains in Taoyuan are quite nice, and the mountain scenery is quite beautiful. I can tell you directly that Stan doesn't like Hsu Chiao-hsin. Hsu Chiao-hsin even sued me once, and even said she was going to sue me—she is the worst Red Guard legislator, Hsu Chiao-hsin is just a Red Guard, just a Red Guard. And I think the people of Songshan and Xinyi—I really appreciated Hsu Chiao-hui back then when she was a Taipei City Councilor, her political platforms were also great, especially for things like childcare subsidies, or what is it called, fertility assistance, things that stimulate the birth rate were all great, and her subsidies for young families were great, and as a result, the people of Songshan and Xinyi elected a Red Guard, a real Red Guard who even bites, rolls around on the ground, and also sucks up to the CCP, and everything she does is actually struggle sessions, you know? Everyone knows I hate the Kuomintang (KMT). I think Taiwan won't be good unless the KMT falls—that's what I've always said. It's a century-old rotten party; bad luck follows wherever it appears. Bad luck in China when it appears in China, bad luck in Taiwan when it appears in Taiwan. In the future, maybe it'll go to the moon, and bad luck will hit the moon too. But the way Hsu Chiao-hsin treated Fei Hung-tai—I really sympathize with Fei Hung-tai. Fei Hung-tai is in the KMT, that's true, but he has much more grace than Hsu Chiao-hsin. Yet he lost to someone who rolls on the ground, bites, curses, and flips people off. And you know, pulling all these dirty tricks—she's part of Ma Ying-jeou's circle, she's a person from Ma Ying-jeou's side—well, not Ma Ying-jeou, Ma Ying-jeou's spokesperson was Lo Chih-chiang. Look at this person's behavior and what she does in terms of policy; it benefits a regime, and that regime is called the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). It's terrifying. Hsu Chiao-hsin is a terrifying person, you know? If you look at the history of the Cultural Revolution, the thousands and thousands of people beating up teachers in the public squares were all Hsu Chiao-hsins. This is the mentality of such Cultural Revolution Red Guards. Yes, some people say she is just like that, using cursing language with a very low standard—her standard is indeed very low. But she is smart, very smart yet evil, very smart yet evil. But as a legislator for Taiwan, the only ones who will suffer misfortune are Taiwan, the only ones who will suffer misfortune are Taiwan.

Well, let me first look at the broadcast screen on my other side. There are more people here. Thank you very much for the Super Chat from Xiao Yu Xigua (Little Watermelon this time, referring to the smaller one). Thank you very much for the Super Chat from Xiao Yu Xigua. NJMKLI4H Hola Hola Como estas. Guo Wan-an showing off abroad, talking about Wan-an, Chiang Wan-an. Everyone should know how this story of Chiang Wan-an came about. Right, it's not Tai-wan, it's Da-wan (big yuan). Chiang Wan-an—because his grandma, Chang Ya-ruo, Chang Ya-ruo was someone whose private life was originally quite promiscuous. Sleeping with several men at the same time, in Taiwan's terms—in the words of my wife at home, she was like a public bus, just a public bus, a very terrible person. And she was sleeping with Chiang Wan-an at the same time—no, not with Chiang Wan-an, but with Chiang Ching-kuo, Chiang Wan-an's grandfather, if that's true—but at the same time she was also sleeping with Kuo Li-bo. So everyone tells—if there are Chinese friends watching, why does everyone tell Chiang Wan-an to take a DNA test? Because Chang Ya-ruo's private life, her sex life in China, was very promiscuous; she slept with Chiang Ching-kuo and Kuo Li-bo at the same time. Kuo Li-bo was a KMT general, so Chang Ya-ruo might not be the son of Chiang Ching-kuo, but the son of Kuo Li-bo. That's how people tell the story. But I don't know, you know? To me, these things are not important. The Chiang family itself represents chaos, a moral-less mafia, you know? Just a mafia family. And you forcefully try to—plus the ruthless dictatorship that turned Taiwan into—you know, stealing money from the Taiwanese people, bringing Taiwan to the verge of famine, and then only sucking money from the United States—for a family like this, if you forcefully try to drag yourself into a relationship with this family, I think you're very strange. You're just very strange. Whether it's Kuo Li-bo or Chiang Ching-kuo, neither of them is any good, really neither of them is any good.

Stan, you are streaming on two platforms at the same time. I didn't even know you played this game. Now it works, because I'm telling you, I'm using this thing to stream, I'm using Streamlabs. Streamlabs has a feature—I'm a paid member because the image quality is quite good and it's very stable—and it can do both vertical and horizontal streams simultaneously. For the vertical one, I don't use Facebook, but for YouTube, I have both horizontal and vertical. And if you stream vertically, it goes to Shorts, because everyone watches short videos, so they can just swipe and swipe until they land on my video. Don't bend, don't play. What is Stan's favorite game? Oh, Lao Zheng, long time no see. I have many favorite games. This year? I've beaten Resident Evil 9 five times. My second favorite is Final Fantasy, Fire Emblem Engage—what is it translated as? Something Fire, something Road, something Path, let me check. Fire Emblem, Saint something, Saint something... The translation in Taiwan is very different from the English one. Let me see. Right, there's also the Chinese translation, 'Sheng Huo Jiang Mo Lu' (Fire Emblem). Yes, yes, yes, that's it. That's it. These are the two games I think were the best this year. Yes, yes, yes, yes, these two games. And what is this year's birthday? My god, why did simplified Chinese come out? 'Wan Zi Qian Hong' (a myriad of purple and red), Fortune's Wave, this one is not bad. It has some characters that I find quite interesting. I've played 'The Witcher' before; that's the best game from Poland. And the 'Silent Hill 2' remake by the Polish studio is pretty good too. The Polish gaming industry is quite impressive. But my favorite this year should be 'Resident Evil 9'. I like horror stuff, I think it's great. I also like the 'Siren' series. That's about it. I also like Japanese games, so both Resident Evil and Fire Emblem are.

I think Puma Shen is a wonderful person, and finally, you know, a mayor has appeared who is not like those in the past—whether it was the Kuomintang or Ko Wen-je—who were all talking about what construction projects to undertake, talking about forward-looking infrastructure, and focusing on those massive, difficult projects. I think Puma Shen is the first mayor who has started to talk about people, that is, how to solve the problems of Taipei residents. For example, the issue of insufficient civil servants, or traffic problems. It is not about building for the sake of building, you know, but truly solving the current traffic congestion in Taipei, or how to make it more convenient for people to reach certain places. I think he is the first Taipei mayor willing to keep people in his heart, so I think we should support him properly. You know, he is very, very willing to listen to the public. Look at how he has already gone to Shezi two or three times this year; he cares a lot about Shezi and Shezi Island. And originally, look at how rude and impolite other mayors were toward Shezi. Look at that Ko Wen-je, saying 'I'll just drive an excavator over there.' That is their property, that is their home, and he says 'drive an excavator over there.' The Taipei City Government, using excavators—disgusting, disgusting. That kind of attitude. All the Taipei mayors over the years have been like this. Shezi has indeed been exploited for 50 years, 50 years of building bans. What kind of thing is this? Is this something that should appear in a democratic country? And he said it is very authoritarian, from the authoritarian period until now. So, of course, the first thing is to listen to what they hope for—how the people of Shezi want to solve the current development problems and how to make the lives of Shezi people better. I think Puma Shen is the first one willing to go and listen to what the local people are saying. Just for this alone, I think we should support him, because he feels that Taipei—actually, he didn't say it this way, but I am telling everyone my feeling—it should be in Puma's philosophy. Because I have read his platform, his 'Heart,' his platform's 'Heart.' I think in Puma's eyes, Taipei is not about how many skyscrapers there are, nor is it about how many stadiums there are that can host international competitions, you know, nor is it about how to attract more rich people to live in Taipei. No. To him, Taipei is a city with a rich culture, a city with a long history, and a city full of all kinds of different people. So, our group, you know, those of us who studied liberal arts—because Puma also studied criminology at night, and I studied international relations and human rights—we all return to people, because a city is not just a place on a map where you see how tall the buildings are; it is a place where people live. And how to make people live better, I think that is the problem the Taipei City Government should be solving. So I am very supportive of Puma, and I have known him for four or five years now. Yes, I have known him for four or five years. He really has ideas and principles, and he has a lot of love for Taiwan and Taipei. He is a person with deep emotions. And you know, having such a great person who is both an academic, a political figure, and a famous author and researcher running for Taipei mayor, compared to a 'prince'—you know, someone who relies on changing his surname to enter politics—I think the difference is quite obvious. Because one is posing, and the other is pushing policies; that is quite a difference. So, about those 'ocean currents' (Yangliu), I don't even want to talk about it; the ocean currents are fake, there are no ocean currents. Well, there are, and the appearance of the ocean currents is actually, you know, first of all, Puma Shen is really quite good. Looking at his platform, of course, only after he is elected can we say how much he can actually achieve. Currently, these systems are all good, but in terms of implementation, that is where we need to give him a chance and see how he does. But these four years, I think Taipei citizens have had enough. You know, how could our city be stagnant for thirty years? Stagnant for thirty years, from Ma Ying-jeou, Hau Lung-bin, Ko Wen-je, and now this one. Just stagnant for thirty years, and the people pushed forward are getting more and more useless, you know? It's like the Taipei mayors over the years have had a downward trend, from quality to ability to policy platforms, to the courage and determination to be mayor—it's all going downhill. It's a real pity.

Shezi Island has beautiful wetlands where you can go bird watching, as well as a bicycle lane where you can watch the sunset while riding your bike. It is actually a really great place. It is also Taipei's big vegetable garden. Let me tell you, Shezi, Shezi has a great place that fewer people, fewer people know about. Near the suburban end towards Guandu, in the direction of Guandu, many people practice flying drones there, because there are very few places in Taipei where you can fly drones, but Shezi is quite far from Songshan Airport, so quite a few people practice there. I think it is also great. It is apart from the wetlands, and past the wetlands right there, beyond the seawall or so. Summer is pretty nice there. In the summer, I saw, when I used to ride my bike there, right next to it there was a house, and there was a family with great musical talent. When you ride your bike, you can also hear them play the saxophone and play musical instruments. It is pretty nice, and the culture is also quite rich, because it used to be the territory of the Ketagalan tribe, and there are also some temples. This place should be preserved. That place should be made better, instead of having bulldozers drive right through without any basis, without any basis. This Ko Wen-je, and Chiang Wan-an is pretty much the same, really terrible, those people are not human.

Look, look, look, trash is here. Foreigners, shut your fucking mouths. Who do you think you are? I am your father (Lin Bei). When I see this kind of people, I have one answer: I am your father, okay? Do you hear that? Do you understand Taiwanese? I am your father. This is what they always do, foreigners and you, what does it have to do with you? First, I am also a Taipei citizen; second, I have lived in Taiwan for half my life; third, you don't even know if I have Taiwanese citizenship, I won't say, I will leave it ambiguous, because this way you can bait a lot of interesting fish. You all wash, I just like watching you play. And third is the most important: every time we discuss US politics, the US midterm elections are a very hot topic right now, what does it have to do with you, you know? You can discuss Trump, so why can't foreigners discuss Taiwan politics? You can discuss the current riots in Europe, why can't foreigners discuss Taiwan politics? Why? Every time, Trump is terrible, what does it have to do with you, you know? Because when you hear it yourself, you act like it has to do with you. US politics, what does it have to do with you? It's not like that. Freedom of speech means you can talk about anything, but you Kuomintang supporters, you don't understand what freedom of speech is, because you don't have it, because Taiwan is regressing in freedom of speech, and you are all opposed to it; not a single one of you supports freedom of speech. And I live in Taipei, so what? What's wrong with that? I care about this city. That place is my home.

Okay, that's the issue. Where was I just about to talk about? The Kuomintang and the Little Pinks have zero class, because they are pretty much the same thing, pretty much the same thing. The Kuomintang has always been the same as the Little Pinks. Their mouths really stink, always shouting "foreigner, foreigner." They might love Taiwan more than you do, and look at how I look, you know? You pre-judge, you say "you're a foreigner, I'm Taiwanese," you know? You know? You can't just judge by appearances and say, if someone is Chinese, then hehehe, you go be Chinese yourself, anyone who wants to be Chinese can go to China, no problem, keep it up, don't come back, please don't come back. I hope the comment section won't, stop cursing. If you want to curse, direct everything at me, don't curse, don't curse, or you can curse, you can even call me to curse at me, you know? You come curse at me, you come say these unreasonable things, that's great, my traffic goes even higher, and then it gets edited out: "Foreigner beats up Little Pink," you know? Every single time it is like this.

Miko Wing HK, I am one of the female captains of Ocean Current. Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations. Here, congratulations, congratulations, congratulations, congratulations. Your mayor, Puma Shen, is doing great. Big Stan, that Aisha is out on a campaign, you pay attention to the chat room first. Wasn't I scolded just now? Wasn't I scolded and then just now, right, right, right, there was just a mission. How do I look at the riots in France? You can go watch my video, shot a few days ago. Actually, I also strongly recommend everyone to watch mine, regarding that—oh god, I forgot Mr. Huang, that cross-talk, Huang Yihao versus Huang Yihao, my analysis of him being attacked, that cross-border—that cross-border repression video. Please, everyone, please take a look, because I spent a lot of time on GeoLayers making the map, it's very troublesome. Please watch it, the traffic isn't very good, but I hope it can at least break 10,000 views. There is a video on the mountain that I strongly recommend everyone to watch, because the CCP's approach will only escalate, and in the future it will only become more and more exaggerated. But what I want to talk about is the French riots. I have analyzed it, and I have talked about it. First, let's look at two things separately: Is there a problem with France's education system? Do students have a reason to protest? France does, absolutely. It is very legitimate here. However, those who are now rioting in France, burning things, beating people, stealing, and looting—they are no longer students. A large bunch of illegal immigrants, and you know what? I am so sick of it. Every time I see that Palestinian flag, then—oh god, it's just a bunch of terrorists! You are here to protest education, why are you holding a Palestinian flag? What the hell does this have to do with Taiwan? What the hell does this have to do with French education? Why are you holding Hamas's flag? I find this so disgusting. It's just a bunch of terrorist supporters. They hijacked the student protest; they used a legitimate reason to protest. I also think that for France's education—of course every school district should enjoy fair resources and equal resources, this was naturally a very justified reason to begin with. But the problem is that because those Palestinians, those Hamases took to the streets, joined the streets, and then they started stealing, they started looting, and then a whole bunch of illegal immigrants also took to the streets, and they continued to steal and continued to loot—then who is going to support the students? Who is going to support the students? And then a whole bunch of those far-left terrorists also came out, joined in, and they no longer had any intention of solving France's education problem. Moreover, this thing has burned to neighboring countries, meaning you don't know what kind of people will turn into these people; they don't know how to be grateful. We see a Palestinian supporter saying, "Thank you France for taking us in"—not a half of one was seen, not a half of one was seen. All I saw was them burning, them stealing, them looting, them robbing, them robbing—that's just how it is. And then it burned over to neighboring Barcelona; today on the internet you can also see a whole bunch of these videos. And then Switzerland—even Switzerland's Lausanne, Lausanne is a city right on the French border that is quite fascinating and very beautiful. God, I went there once; after we spent a night in Geneva, on the way back home, we stopped in Lausanne for two hours. The lake over there was so pretty, and the scenery started to explode, started to fight, started to grab Palestinian flags. And Greece—even the Communists took to the streets. These things, I feel, have nothing to do with students, and I strongly feel they are orchestrated. You know, students took to the streets, and then those in neighboring countries could also be mobilized—Italy, Spain, Greece (Greece is a bit further away), and then Switzerland all took to the streets together. It's terrifying, truly very terrifying.

In my interpretation, these policies stem from when Merkel introduced a large number of illegal immigrants into Germany back then, but at the same time they also stayed in France, went to France again, went to Italy again, moving around in all sorts of ways. And really, look at France's education—how the hell do you go to France? How the hell do you go to France? The one educating you is France, not Palestine. If you like Palestine, if you like Hamas terrorists, go there! Go there! Go on! Live in the Gaza Strip, just don't leave, just stay right there. I don't want to see Palestinian flags in Europe; I want to see French flags, I want to see Polish flags, I want to see German flags. Isn't that how it is?

And really, those who go and burn, go and steal, go and loot, and then they still expect others to support Palestine. Looking at it this way, I think—oh god, then what Israel is doing, they have their reasons. This really is them having their reasons. And then Europe acts like an idiot, taking in a whole bunch of terrorist supporters—those coming from Palestine. Egypt doesn't take them, Lebanon doesn't take them, the nearby countries don't take them; it just happens that Europe is very foolish and takes them in. After taking them in, it results in France burning down, and centuries-old historical buildings getting burned. What on earth is that? What on earth is this? Look at it for yourself, I feel extremely uneasy, extremely uneasy.

Moreover, students taking to the streets is inherently permissible; there is no issue with that. You shouldn't steal. Why would anyone listen to you if you act like those in the Black Lives Matter movement in the U.S.—stealing, looting, burning, killing, beating, rioting, and causing chaos—and then expect everyone to support Black Lives Matter? It’s not, it really isn't. Is there a problem with racial discrimination? Yes, it exists. Does it need to be solved? Yes. How? Through policy and advocacy, not by burning things down. Furthermore, they listen to that George Floyd; George Floyd was also a drug addict. If you look closely at the court documents, it is very clear that it wasn't a case of the officer killing him; rather, the officer was pressing on him, and he died on the spot because he had already taken drugs and overdosed. Even if the officer hadn't been pressing on him, he still would have died; he still would have OD'd. So, you know, I am truly worried about these chaotic things; I am genuinely worried. Because, should a country accept refugees? Yes. But these refugees must be actual refugees, not illegal immigrants and terrorists. The problem is that they have taken in a bunch of terrorists.

So now, every year as Christmas approaches, it's almost that season. Only the Christmas markets in Poland are places where you can go with peace of mind, quiet and beautiful. The Christmas markets in Germany are already being surrounded by walls. Why? Because those terrorists will use vehicles to ram into people. And I think the stupidity of the Left is just like this, you know? Diversity and inclusion. And let's say the Left also supports the LGBTQ community; let's just leave it at that. What do those terrorist supporters become? Gays march in the streets, right? And then what? Terrorists go and ram into them. Will the LGBTQ community continue to support the Left like this? Instead, they might feel that only the Right can guarantee their personal safety.

Let me see, Bologna, Rome, Milan, yes, they are all like that. Milan is the same, Rome too; I've seen it in Italy before. Yes, and there is a group of idiot Taiwanese who say they want to support Palestine. Yes, supporting terrorists. You know, Israel—I strongly support Israel. I have relatives who are Israeli citizens, and I understand Israel's situation. Let me tell you, from the time this country was founded until now, it has constantly been under threat of annihilation, constantly being targeted for destruction by the surrounding terrorist organizations. And those who want to destroy them, whose money are they taking? Iran's. And through these puppet organizations of theirs, throughout the entire Middle East region, they all want to destroy Israel, to massacre Israelis, to massacre Jews. Palestine, what 'two-state solution'? You know? What 'peaceful coexistence'? There have been various negotiations, various agreements; Israel has signed them all, Israel has accepted them all. But no matter how much Israel accepts, no matter how willing it is to compromise with these terrorists, Hamas, what does it end up being? A few years later, they accumulate resources and continue to kill Jews, continue to kill Israelis. The other side wants to destroy you, and you want to coexist peacefully with them—is that even possible?

So, I really admire Netanyahu's approach. I really admire Netanyahu because he is the first one to say, 'Enough, enough. You keep killing us, so what are we supposed to do?' If you look at Israeli history, any conflict with nearby Arab countries has always involved Israel making concessions, always Israel making concessions. Enough, really enough. So, look, Europe is a mess now because they didn't listen to what the Israelis were saying. And the Arab world—you go to the Arab world and see for yourself how they view those Palestinians. Go see for yourself. And look at those Middle Eastern Muslim countries, the wealthy Muslim countries, the developed Muslim countries—how do they view these illegal immigrants? They absolutely won't talk about it, because here, religion is not the issue. I think sometimes European politicians and American politicians like to say that they are Muslim, but Islam is a very complex religion with various cultures, various countries, various values, and various philosophies; it is not monolithic. The best way is to look at developed Muslim countries yourself, because there are many developed Muslim countries, and how do they handle these illegal populations and terrorist supporters? They simply don't let them in, and they don't let them stay. They don't just talk nonsense about places coming from all over the place. Here, culture—the influence of culture—is actually greater than religion; it is greater than religion.

So, fine, if you really think we need to be more inclusive, then you need to properly understand the Muslim world. You have to look at where people are coming from, what kind of ideology they hold, and what their stance is. I am not saying that everyone coming from Palestine cannot be spoken about, but you need to know who this person is. Who are they? You have to investigate whether they have any background with terrorist organizations. After investigating, if you find they don't, then it's fine. The problem is that a whole bunch of people come in and you don't check them at all; you don't even know who these people are, so how can you maintain order? You simply can't. Fortunately, Taiwan doesn't have this kind of terrorist immigration; Taiwanese society couldn't withstand such an impact. But the problem in Taiwanese society is the aging population, and Taiwan also needs to have a decent immigration policy because continuing like this is not a solution. There is a labor shortage, a shortage of people; Taiwan is short of people. When you are short of people, you can set very strict standards. And I have debated this with many people, many Taiwanese, regarding the issue of a refugee law. Having a refugee law doesn't mean refugees will just come back; a refugee law requires a framework, because right now everything is handled on a case-by-case basis. I think there needs to be a framework, and that framework should be set very strictly, based on international standards. For example, honestly, what is a refugee? It could be due to a natural disaster. Okay, for example, if the Philippines has a typhoon, an earthquake, or something, because refugees should basically be seeking asylum in neighboring countries. Outside of China—China is a hostile state, and a hostile state can be directly excluded. But for example, when the Philippines encounters a natural disaster, how would you handle it? You need to establish a framework, and that framework can be very strict, but it should exist. This way, if some people enter illegally and abuse this framework, they can be deported. I think having a framework is better than not having one, but this is something that can be discussed.

Taiwan's immigration problem is quite serious, but it is indeed serious, and the problem of being unable to retain talent also exists, so Taiwan still has to face this; Taiwan still has to face it. I don't like people in France holding up non-existent fake flags and disturbing the peace. Although it was said very well, you know, especially when students are protesting—this is what Old Zheng said—you students are protesting, what does this have to do with Palestine? Fine, if you want to defend rights, if you want to speak up for the Palestinian people, then apply for your own event, apply for your own event. I think that for these people, even if they want others to support them, looking at their behavior, I don't think anyone would come out to support them. This is really, European refugees are all legal, they are all actively accepted by the EU, you know? Saying that legal ones are abusing the system doesn't mean they are legal, because the regulations themselves define very clearly what a refugee is, and international conventions also define very clearly what a refugee is. These people are not refugees at all; they are illegal immigrants abusing the refugee system to live in Europe as illegal immigrants.

And yes, why do other Middle Eastern countries talk about 'Arab brothers' but not a single country is willing to take in Palestine? I don't think I need to answer that question for you; you know the answer yourself. This is a rhetorical question. If you use a virus to metaphorically describe these refugees and illegal immigrants who were initially taken in, many are simply dormant viruses that have started to flare up today after lying dormant for many years. I don't think we can make that comparison, and we still have to distinguish, to distinguish clearly between what is a refugee and what is an illegal immigrant. When the Ukraine war broke out, many people fled the country and went to Poland to apply for asylum; they are refugees because Poland is the nearest country. I am discussing with the EU that these refugees need to be evacuated to those countries; they are refugees. But someone coming from Afghanistan for no reason—because there are many countries near Afghanistan, there is China, there is Iran, and others, you could go to these countries to seek asylum, there is Tajikistan—why do you still have to come to Germany in such an inexplicable way? This is no longer a refugee; this is already an illegal immigrant.

Thank you for your interpretation. I know you hate seeing simplified Chinese characters, but I really want to hear your thoughts on France recently. I don't hate simplified Chinese characters; fortunately, I can read them. I don't hate simplified Chinese characters, don't say that. Simplified Chinese is fine, but I will scold some 'simplified-character people' because, you know, those who speak up for the Communist Party are all 'simplified-character people.' I don't hate simplified Chinese characters; although I write in traditional characters myself and read them faster, I don't hate simplified Chinese characters; it's just a script.

Poland firmly refuses to accept Muslim refugees, and the EU gives Poland money every year. I don't think we can say Poland doesn't accept Muslim immigrants, Muslim refugees. Poland also has many Muslims; some are our own Muslim Tatars, we live in the east, we have our own Muslims, and Poland also has many people who have immigrated from Muslim countries. There are Turks who have already been naturalized as Poles, and people from various countries, with more from Turkey, and they are very integrated into society, very integrated into the environment, and they are also just Polish people, but they might be Muslim. But they are, you know, what is the difference between them and these illegal immigrants? They queue up, apply, are legal, work, pay taxes, integrate into the environment, and become Polish people. This is different, so you can't just say 'Muslims,' because Muslims are also divided, right? There are many kinds of Muslims; it depends on the country, it depends on the person's path and that...

I saw the doctor last week and I was not in a good mood. We are undergoing chemotherapy, but the doctor said he has become weaker and needs to rest. So we have done four rounds of chemotherapy, which is basically enough. We did a shoe cut, and next week the doctor will call us to tell us whether we need more chemotherapy or to change the chemotherapy method, which might change to taking oral medicine instead of a large IV drip. Because his body, you know, although the surgeries for cancer are very successful, chemotherapy is a very toxic thing, so we must be careful, carefully watch this little body. Everyone say hello, hello everyone, I have been healthy for a long time, love Taiwan, because I am from Taiwan. He just, you know, he wants to act spoiled, and it is too bright here, so after a hug he has to go somewhere else, cute, very cute. Israel has an election this month, and people are going back to vote at the same time, going back to vote to vote properly, to vote properly, this is everyone's obligation.

Regarding canceling spouses from China during the epidemic, I think, you know, I have thoughts on the policy toward spouses from China. I think that given the relationship as hostile countries, I think spouses from China can get permanent residency, but spouses from China should not get citizenship. Because of national security considerations, they can have permanent residency and live there, but they cannot have the right to vote, they cannot have the right to vote and to run for office, it is purely a national security issue. They can get permanent residency, they can live in Taiwan forever, because of human rights and humanitarian issues. Poland is hyper conservative, well it is fine, not too conservative, and Poland is fifty-fifty, half left and half right. Now the prime minister is on the left and the president is on the right, so it is not super conservative, it is fine. Super scared of cats, short-haired cats, short hair, short hair, wait, short hair is not much, OK right. He just had cancer, breast cancer, it is very tough, it really hurts for her, right? Because she had two surgeries, it was discovered when she was at stage two cancer. When it was discovered at stage two cancer, wait for me, I need to look at something, right. It was discovered at stage two cancer and then she went straight for surgery. The surgery was done, actually it was very successful, meaning all the clear margins were there, meaning the borders were all clean, with no remaining cancer cells left, and then she did chemotherapy. She did four rounds of chemotherapy, but her body started to get weaker and she vomited more easily, so we are seeing how to handle it. But basically I have also looked at the data, four rounds, the doctor also said, four rounds of chemotherapy are the most important, and the fifth and sixth rounds are just like an insurance policy, but we will see if he can handle this insurance policy.

Do women leaders have issues? Well, is that so? Not necessarily, it depends on the person. You know, I wouldn't want the US to be led by Kamala Harris; I quite admire Marine Le Pen, though she shouldn't get mixed up with Russia, but I really like her domestic policies. Liz Truss didn't last long in the UK, but I think she was pretty good too, and so was Margaret Thatcher, but Merkel is a demon. So I really think regarding gender—there are great female presidents, prime ministers, and leaders; I deeply admire Meloni, she is a fantastic Italian Prime Minister, but Merkel is an absolute demon, and Hillary is also a bastard, a huge bastard. Merkel is an old hag, and Hillary is a bastard. So you know, there are great female prime ministers, presidents, and leaders, and then there are bastards too. So you know, bastards come in all genders, both have them. Therefore, I don't think female leaders are necessarily good or not; if you are lucky, you might hit the jackpot with an Iron Lady, but if you are unlucky, you get Merkel ruling for 16 years, so it's different. Merkel is the worst, the absolute worst, and von der Leyen is also trash. Good thing Hillary didn't get elected. Trump getting elected back then was a miracle and he did a good job, I really admire him... wait, why am I getting so emotional? No, look, you know, this is our Europe, and this bastard Merkel also dragged Poland down, constantly blaming Poland, saying all the problems are Poland's fault, she said they're trash, trash. And a bunch of Taiwanese people think Merkel is some kind of great leader. Trash among trash, trash among trash, nothing is trashier than that. Sanae Takaichi is great, I like her, I admire her very much. I agree with our bastard's—wait, Merkel ruined Germany. I mean, Merkel didn't just ruin Germany, Merkel ruined Europe. Merkel also caused Brexit; if she hadn't messed up those policies back then, from the Greens to illegal immigration, to various financial issues, the UK wouldn't have left the EU, right. Von der Leyen, she is indeed from Merkel's faction, von der Leyen is Merkel's person. The problem with von der Leyen is that Merkel's people still hold too much power, and they turned the Christian Democratic Union, originally a center-right conservative party, into the far-left, which is really a pity. Pro-China European countries have all declined, right? Let me tell you, if you are pro-US, you will live a great life forever; if you are pro-China, you really feel like you're screwed, you know. Being pro-US is so good, being pro-China means you're fucked. Because look, Taiwan is a country that is quite pro-US, look at how fast it has developed over the past 30 years. Poland is also a very pro-US country, Poland's development is the fastest in Europe, and then the Baltic states and Czechia have all developed very well. Meanwhile, pro-China Germany is struggling, and France—well, see for yourselves, although I have a somewhat better impression of France. So it's becoming increasingly obvious, the moment you are pro-China, you are done for.

The EU is becoming bureaucratic; even without Merkel, it would still happen. If it's not Merkel, it's someone like von der Leyen. It's just Merkel, and you know, the power of this position is completely undemocratic, with no elections. The European Parliament can't do anything; honestly, even if you criticize or scold them, they have no legislative power. You might think the European Parliament should have legislative power, but it doesn't. The European Parliament has no right to write laws or European regulations; it's just a vase parliament. Hillary is truly a bastard, yes. Is the AfD also pro-CCP? Yes, so Germany doesn't have a normal political party. There was one called the FDP, the Free Democratic Party, but this time they didn't even make it into parliament, which is a pity. There was one normal party, but the FDP is also a bunch of bastards. That Alice Weidel, she also studied in China and worked in China; she is also a communist, yet claims to be a right-winger. These people are communists. Truss is not bad; Liz Truss is quite good. I met her last time at CPAC, the CPAC in the United States, and I spoke a few words with her. She has a very good grasp of economics and is very logical, but it's a pity that in this current situation, she was Prime Minister for only forty-some days and didn't even have the chance to let her insights and policies be shown. I tell you, give her four years in power, and the British economic trend would improve. She is a great person, but it's a pity. I quite admire her. In the end, I hope to pin my hopes on British and American conservatism. Polish conservatism is also not bad; I welcome support for our Law and Justice party. It is also an old party with very good and correct concepts: pro-family, traditional economy, tax cuts, protecting the common people, and supporting the United States. It's very good. As for how to observe Germany, you can look at the opportunistic parties. I filmed one last week, or the week before last, about the AfD having a high vote share. The AfD is a very problematic party, a very problematic party. It's not even right-wing. Every time I hear people say they are far-right, they have nothing to do with the right wing. Even the French conservatives don't want to meet with them. You have to think, if other right-wingers don't want to deal with them, it's a very problematic organization. Trump also likes to pose for photos? That's fine. What posing? Trump likes to chat, Trump likes to give speeches. The situation in the UK is also not good now. The UK is currently ruled by the left, that Andy Burnham, who is also left-leaning and pro-CCP. The current government is considered pro-CCP. The conservatives lost power, which is a pity, really a pity. It is a very dangerous party. You say the FDP is indeed, I agree, opportunistic, a party without a central ideology. Although in 2013, when they founded the AfD, those early economists all felt they wanted to follow a more normal economic path for Germany, meaning to oppose Merkel, that was OK at the time. But later, a lot of irrelevant people, a whole bunch of problematic people, joined this party. Alright, I'll listen to your suggestion and decide to go back and watch the video to see how many common points there are. You can listen, you can listen and leave a comment, and then I will reply to you. But the UK's Truss is a pity; that term was indeed, indeed a pity, because the 'firewall' policy became a big, a mess, indeed. The firewall policy itself is problematic because if you exclude a party from the start, this party also represents German voters. German voters also voted for this party. Instead, if you let them participate in normal discussions in government and politics, you could still pressure them, you could still ask them to change their policies, and when you form an alliance, you could also make them change, because politics is compromise. Once you are unwilling to compromise, once you say, 'I just want to kill you, I just want to put a firewall against you,' voters are not stupid. They will say, 'What about you? Who are you?' And then they won't vote for you. That's why the CDU, a party that led Germany for decades, is now unrecognizable. I think it's caused by the firewall.

Which one is worse, Merkel or Ma Ying-jeou? Goodness, what a tough question. It feels like asking my wife a soul-searching question: "Honey, can I ask you a soul-searching question? I'm really curious about your thoughts as a baby of Taiwan, etc." Merkel or Ma Ying-jeou, which one is worse? Good question. Ma Ying-jeou isn't that bad because, well, he operated directly in Taiwan, whereas Merkel harmed the entire globe, and Europe too—didn't she govern Europe? Merkel is basically the German version of Ma Ying-jeou. So which one should be considered worse in terms of overall impact? Are you talking about on the world? Well, of course—the fan didn't specify, but yes, considering the overall global situation, of course Merkel is worse. But if we're only talking about Taiwan, of course Ma Ying-jeou is worse, because Ma Ying-jeou's influence isn't as big as Merkel's. Hmm, I agree. I think looking at Taiwan alone, Ma Ying-jeou has a bigger impact and is worse; but looking globally, Merkel is indeed much worse. After all, we aren't supporters of the pan-blue coalition, so when we think about things, we try to think more comprehensively, on a deeper level, yes. I agree with that statement. If we're talking about Taiwan, Ma Ying-jeou is worse, because Ma Ying-jeou really caused quite a lot of damage to Taiwan, right? But if we set our sights globally, then Merkel's problem is bigger, affecting not just Europe but the whole world. Well, looking globally, of course you'd choose Ma Ying-jeou—wait, yes, I think that's a very good point. We had a pretty good chat today. Well, I think that's it for today, because I still have some things to handle, and it was great chatting with everyone today. I know it's a bit late now, so let's keep in touch, and pay close attention to this election. We are truly living through unprecedented changes in a century—unprecedented changes, that is, unprecedented changes, using Xi Jinping's words, and you know this great change is terrible. Alright, so let's leave it here. The person who has done the most harm to the globe is still Obama. Oh, Kevin, Kevin ABC, I think your perspective is very interesting. Obama or Merkel? I think that requires detailed analysis, but I think both of them could win first place when it comes to harming the globe. Alrighty, we'll talk again later, talk again later, talk again later. This is indeed very interesting.
