A campaign poster of Jiang Wanan imitating the movie "The Three Evils" was circulated on the Internet, triggering discussions on plagiarism and the CCP's election.
Recently, a campaign poster that imitated the composition of the movie "Three Pests" has been circulated on the Internet. It portrays Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan as a gun-wielding "pest-killing hero" and the Democratic Progressive Party's Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang and Taipei City Councilors Jian Shupei and Miao Boya as "three pests." Some overseas people believe that this is a hate campaign to push for votes. Is this a tactic used by the Chinese Communist Party to promote the election? Liang Wenjie, spokesperson of the Mainland Affairs Council, said today, "I have also seen this about getting rid of the three evils, but I am not sure who did it. The police are currently investigating this matter."
The "Safety and Elimination of Three Pests" campaign posters circulated on the Internet, triggering discussions about poster plagiarism, personal safety and the CCP's election. Famed director Wang Xiaodi, Ogilvy & Mather co-founder Zhuang Shufen and others have all spoken out to criticize Jiang Wanan's campaign team, questioning, "In the advertising world, plagiarism has never had a place. A city chief plagiarized movie posters for the sake of election. This creative team should be reported and fired."
Is this matter related to the CCP’s election? Liang Wenjie pointed out at the Mainland Affairs Council press conference, "I have also seen this about getting rid of the three evils, but I am not sure who did it. The police are currently investigating this matter." I do not rule out the possibility that it may be a so-called "false flag operation", that is, framed accusations. These are all possible.
Liang Wenjie reminded that the election is getting closer and closer. The CCP’s propaganda on the Internet used to be relatively crude and could be seen through at a glance. Now many things cannot be seen through at a glance. Therefore, the closer the election is, voters on both sides should think about it when they see similar things and not react on their knees.
In addition, on the day of Taiwan's Liberation Day, China's state-run media "CCTV" released a video of Taiwan's landscape captured by the satellite "Jilin-1". Taipei's Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, the National Palace Museum, Yilan Zhuangwei Township, Sun Moon Lake, Taipei Port, etc. were all captured by the camera, and the picture was quite clear.
Liang Wenjie analyzed that the CCP’s policy towards Taiwan has its consistency. Since Xi Jinping took office in 2012, it has continuously strengthened the compound pressure on Taiwan. The CCP’s goal of annihilating the Republic of China is actually well known. Now that the election is getting closer, we think there will be more and more similar tactics.
Liang Wenjie said, "We don't think this is different from department to department, or that the methods are different. We think this is holistic." As the election gets closer, there will be more and more such tactics and threats.
