The analogy between Justice Tom Clark’s discussion of loyalty review and the dilemma of mainland workers participating in politics in Taiwan

The article quotes U.S. Supreme Court Justice Tom Clark's argument in the 1951 Garner v. Board of Public Works case to explore the reasonable connection between past loyalty and present trust, and applies it to the Cold War-era loyalty review and the restrictions on the contemporary Taiwanese mainland spouses' qualifications to participate in politics. It points out the eternal tension between national security and human rights protection, and emphasizes the need to prevent national security concerns from turning into identity discrimination, and to provide due process and relief.

U.S. President Trump welcomed Chinese President Xi Jinping at the White House with military salutes, state banquets and other high-level courtesy. U.S. mainstream media observed that although the trade truce was extended for two months, the talks have made limited progress and no major breakthroughs have been made. The grand pomp and circumstance may conceal the continued tension between the two sides in the fields of trade, technology, Taiwan and geopolitics.

DPP spokesperson Lin Chuyin criticized the Beijing Municipal Government for its incompetence in governance: social workers embezzled elderly pensions, suppressed speech at night markets, and cut down green trees indiscriminately.

Jiang Yijie, a former social worker supervisor of the Taipei City Social Affairs Bureau, was detained for allegedly embezzling more than NT$12 million in pension funds from five supervised elders over many years. DPP spokesperson Lin Chuyin criticized Chiang Wanan for his incompetence in governance, pointing out that from the failure of child care to the suppression of political speech at night markets and the indiscriminate cutting of more than 3,000 road trees, internal fraud prevention and control were paralyzed, and governance was completely incompetent.
