The 115th National Day Convention was held grandly in front of the Presidential Palace this morning (October 10). Facing the speech by Han Kuo-yu, chairman of the National Day Preparatory Committee and Legislative Yuan, he criticized the Executive Yuan for not countersigning the law passed on the third reading by the Legislative Yuan, turning it into a negative teaching material for studying the "Constitution." Before leaving, Executive Yuan Zhuo Rongtai responded to the media by saying, "This is a National Day ceremony, and everyone is happy."

In his National Day speech today, Han Kuo-yu mentioned that today is the 115th birthday of the Republic of China. He asked everyone to make three wishes: "Taiwan is safe, the people are wealthy, and long live democracy." He said that ideological differences in Taiwan are the biggest problem at present. Some Taiwanese people want to turn Taiwan into the 51st state of the United States, some want to turn Taiwan into the fifth largest island of Japan, and some want to turn Taiwan into the 31st province of China. He asked the leaders of the government and the opposition not to add fuel to the fire and work together to defend the Republic of China.

However, Han Kuo-yu also specifically mentioned that Taiwan's democracy has already cracked. Last year's general recall was completely a political hunt. The crisis has reappeared this year. President Zhuo Rongtai did not countersign the law passed on the third reading of the Legislative Yuan, which has become a negative teaching material for teachers to teach "Constitution."

The National Day meeting officially ended at noon. When leaving the venue, Zhuo Rongtai was asked by the media whether he felt aggrieved for not countersigning the criticism of Dean Han Guoyu? Zhuo Rongtai smiled and responded as he walked, "This is the National Day ceremony, everyone is very happy."

Lai Ching's Germany Day speech "City on a Hill" was derived from the Bible and was quoted by both Kennedy and Ronald Reagan.

President Lai Ching-te quoted the Bible in his National Day speech. The images of "salt of the earth," "light of the world" and "city on a hill" in the Gospel of Matthew position Taiwan as a responsible member of the changing global order, emphasizing democracy and defense as the "salt" that protects peace, technological innovation and industrial upgrading as the "light" that shines on the world, and linking people's well-being and institutional justice, elaborating on the country's vision and governance responsibilities.

Live broadcast of execution of death row inmates sparks opposition, Trump says he has not yet given the nod

The U.S. Department of War plans to execute death row inmate Hassan by firing squad and broadcast it live online, sparking opposition from Republican lawmakers, religious leaders and international observers. Vice President Vance expressed skepticism, and President Trump said he deserved the punishment but had not yet decided whether to allow the live broadcast. Catholic and evangelical leaders and the United Nations Human Rights Office also expressed opposition. Many Republican members of Congress pointed out that live broadcasting of executions turned civilization into entertainment and that the families of the victims should feel respected rather than performed in public. Experts point out that the U.S. military has not executed anyone by firing squad since 1945, nor has it broadcast live broadcasts of executions.

Wang Xinghuan, chairman of Taiwan's Foundation Progressive Party, pointed out that Taiwan's democracy has regressed in international comparisons in recent years, but the root cause is that the Blue and White parties used the majority in Congress to amend the Constitutional Procedural Law, boycott independent institutions, and pass controversial budgets, paralyzing the Constitutional Court. Legislative President Han Guoyu, as the gatekeeper of Congress, did not reflect on his own responsibilities and only accused others of undermining democracy at the National Day ceremony.
