The nine-in-one election campaign at the end of the year has become intense. Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan accepted an exclusive interview with media person Tang Xianglong yesterday. In addition to being outspoken about the sensitive topic of "Chiang's surname", he was also asked, "Do you still identify as a Chinese?" Chiang Wanan said: "I am a Taiwanese, I am a citizen of the Republic of China." This is his firm position. In this regard, writer Yan Zheya said that in recent years, many of Tang Xianglong's programs have been launched on Chinese platforms and are aimed at the Chinese market. Of course, he must always emphasize that he is Chinese. He went to highlight the fact that Jiang Wanan could not say "I am Chinese", which could highlight how worthy of Little Pink's treasure he himself was.
Yan Zheya said in a Facebook post that many Taiwanese people found it awkward when Tang Xianglong asked Jiang Wanan whether he was Chinese. But I don’t feel it. In recent years, many of Tang Xianglong's programs have been released on Chinese platforms and are aimed at the Chinese market. Of course, he must always emphasize that he is Chinese. He highlights the fact that Jiang Wanan cannot say "I am Chinese", which can highlight how much he deserves to be cherished by Little Pink. He also often emphasizes that he is not a "Chinese independence" (the name of the Republic of China faction in China), but a "Hua Tong" (willing to accept one country, two systems).

Yan Zheya pointed out that his Chinese audience is familiar with one of his program quotes: "I am in Taipei, I am in Taiwan, and I care about my China. Of course, it is also your China." In this way, China has many "Tang fans". But on the other side of the coin, even in China, there will be people who climb over the wall and come to listen to what kind of words he speaks to the Taiwan market. If he says a word that is not as good as the little pink, he will be scolded as a "two-faced person." His nickname on the other side is "Chameleon", which means that this person cannot be trusted.
Yan Zeya continued that this is extremely ironic because Tang Xianglong famously said at a cross-strait forum that Taiwan is "the descendant of the chameleon." Unexpectedly, Chinese netizens did not say that Lai Qingde and Zhao Shaokang were chameleons, but instead believed that Tang Xianglong was. In fact, Yan Zheya thought this was a very good topic. Too many Taiwanese people love to criticize media people for making red money. What I see is the other side: if you want to face the public opinion market within the wall, you must take the risk of being suspected and labeled no matter how loyal you are. It was a bloody world. Many intellectuals committed suicide in this way during the Cultural Revolution. Of course Tang Xianglong was familiar with that period of history.
Yan Zheya said bluntly that she couldn't help but wonder, was Tang Xianglong sincere in his opposition to Taiwan independence? Isn't it because of Taiwan's independence that the reason why his remarks have a market in China? Does he really desire cross-strait "unification"? By then, there will no longer be a common enemy of Taiwan independence between China and him. Isn’t it a “chameleon” like him that China will deal with next?
