Why It Matters

Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan asked Luo Chen, a 20-year-old first-time immigrant, to draw the lottery number on her behalf. Because she followed former President Ma Ying-jeou on a visit to China and used the Chinese term "island" to refer to Taiwan, Wu Xindai, Taiwan's progressive Taipei City Council candidate, questioned her and described her as a "united front girl." Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of China, later criticized the relevant behavior as barbaric cyberbullying.

Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan recently hired Yakira, a 20-year-old migrant worker and a graduate of Dajiu College, to draw lottery numbers. She was criticized for being a "United Front Girl" because she accompanied former President Ma Ying-jeou on a visit to China and used the Chinese term "island". Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council of China, choked out today, saying that frequently labeling Taiwanese youth who participate in cross-strait exchanges is a very barbaric act of online bullying, and the public strongly opposes this.

Luo Chenzhi represented Chiang Wanan's campaign team in a lottery draw on October 27. It was discovered that she had participated in the Ma Ying-jeou Foundation's "Dajiu Academy" to visit China. When interviewed by Chinese state media, she referred to Taiwan as "the island." Taiwan's progressive Taipei City Council candidate Wu Xindai posted a post questioning the political significance of her speech, describing her as a "United Front Girl". Related posts sparked online discussions.

Zhu Fenglian claimed at a regular press conference of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council today that cross-Strait youth exchanges are what the people want, and Taiwanese youths' travel to China is their legitimate rights. Taiwan independence forces stigmatize cross-Strait youth exchanges, deliberately "label" young people who come to the mainland to participate in exchange activities and conduct personal attacks in an attempt to create a chilling effect. All kinds of evil behaviors are despised.

In addition, there is more than one relevant dispute. After Luo Chenzhi drew numbers on his behalf, the blue camp began political manipulation that afternoon, and Jiang Wanan held a press conference claiming that the "girls who drew the numbers on his behalf" had been "cyber-violated" by the green camp. The Facebook fan page "Real Mob's Current Affairs Notes" posted a question. Lanying and some media said that Luo was "violated online". He was curious about what kind of people were "violated online", so he did some research.

According to the description, after viewing the video link of "Zhongtian", there were 90 comments underneath, which was enough for human resources to handle. 80% of them were compliments, and 20% were a bit skeptical, feeling like they were speaking like a robot or memorizing a manuscript. One of the accounts was particularly ruthless in his speech, and it turned out to be a typical false accusation. A few days ago, this account was still criticizing Chen Zhiying for saying "It's no surprise that the green one is the leader!" It was clear that he was a supporter of Jiang Wanan. Today, I pretended to be a drop of water and deliberately cursed, "The way these girls talk is disgusting."

The Mainland Affairs Council said that "there is no Taiwan independence, only forced reunification." China's Taiwan Affairs Office jumped to counterattack

Liang Wenjie, deputy chairman of the Mainland Affairs Council, emphasized that for the Republic of China, "there is no issue of Taiwan independence now," only the issue of whether to be forced to unify by the CCP. Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of China, responded that there is no peace and no way out for Taiwan independence. If the "DPP authorities" believe that there is no issue of Taiwan independence, they should "return to one China and the 1992 Consensus," abandon the Taiwan independence party platform and stop separatist actions for Taiwan independence.

Breaking the Republican Party's crimson vote base! US media predicts Democrats will regain control of Senate

The U.S. midterm election results show that the Democratic Party has made breakthroughs in Iowa and other traditionally Republican states. CNN predicts that the Democratic Party is expected to gain majority control of the Federal Senate. If it comes true, the Republican Party will lose its dominance in the Senate. Trump will face stronger congressional checks and balances in the second half of his second term. His cabinet and judicial nominations will fall under strict scrutiny by the Democratic-dominated Senate. The current results are still media predictions and are not officially certified.
