Find out the director of the service office and point his loudspeaker at "Another Village"! The four-pronged cat questioned Wang Hongwei: Did you give the order?

On the 6th, Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan, accompanied by blue committee member Wang Hongwei, passed by a dumpling shop in Another Village that supports Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang of the Democratic Progressive Party. A large number of supporters surrounded him outside and shouted slogans. The shop owner expressed fear. Xie Jinhe, chairman of Caixin Media Group, claimed to be an eyewitness, but Wang Hongwei choked and asked for evidence. Internet celebrity "Four Forked Cat" Liu Yujin posted a screenshot of the live broadcast, questioning Xu Kaijie, director of Wang Hongwei's service office, for deliberately pointing the loudspeaker at the entrance and exit of the dumpling shop, and asked Wang Hongwei whether he gave the order.

Free to speak》A peaceful life is never something you have to wait for

This article is the "Freedom to Speak" column in the "Liberty Times". The author believes that the international community's assessment of risks in the Taiwan Strait is under control, not because the authoritarian system has changed its mind, but because Taiwan has strengthened its defense and international connections for many years, making the other side understand that there must be a price to pay for rash actions. The author calls on the government to make national defense construction more transparent and the public to maintain a clear consensus, emphasizing that peace comes from the ability to defend oneself rather than the good intentions of the other party. Only by standing firm can we maintain the freedom of choice and protect ordinary daily life.

There are many disputes in the South China Sea! Philippine Ministry of Foreign Affairs rarely reiterates "civilian leadership" and warns officials not to interfere in China issues

The Philippines will host an important summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, and U.S. President Trump is expected to attend. The Philippine Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a rare tough statement on the 8th, requiring its officials and military to maintain a "unified tone" in their statements against China to avoid undermining the country's diplomatic mediation. The statement emphasized that international relations are led by civilian governments and that the results of the 2016 South China Sea international arbitration were based on international legal procedures rather than social media spats.
