Ridiculing Xi Jinping’s cross-border suppression by China, the Political Yuan: Amending the law will frighten local collaborators

Huang Yihao said frankly that he originally felt mentally fine when Kamidi was splashed with paint in May, but this time it has escalated to a personal attack.

The well-known comedian Huang Yihao was hired by Chinese people across the sea to stage a fake car accident in an attempt to cripple Huang and hospitalize him. The New Taipei Prosecutor's Office today (21st) indicted five people under the Criminal Code for attempted serious injury and other crimes, requesting severe sentences ranging from July 2 to June 5. In this regard, the Executive Yuan stated that this case has been reported to the Executive Yuan's "Inter-agency Coordination Platform in Response to Transnational Repression" and is being actively handled in accordance with relevant operating procedures. The government will make every effort to combat this type of transnational repression and is considering amending the law to deter local collaborators from cooperating with the CCP's crimes in Taiwan to ensure the safety of the people.

Huang Yihao once performed a work that satirized Chinese President Xi Jinping, but was instigated by Chinese people to intimidate him with dung paint and hired a tormentor to stage a fake car accident and injure him. In this regard, Executive Yuan spokesperson Li Huizhi said that the performing arts showcase the different histories, cultures, lives and spirits of the times through performances such as vocals, body movements and musical instruments. It is guaranteed by Article 11 of my country’s Constitution on freedom of speech and artistic expression. It is in an environment of freedom of speech that creators can create more diverse and creative works that resonate with readers and further form Taiwan’s democratic and free culture.

Li Huizhi also stated that Taiwan is a country of freedom, equality, and especially freedom of speech. It cannot tolerate illegal acts of transnational repression and strongly condemns it. This case has been reported to the Executive Yuan's "Inter-agency Coordination Platform in Response to Transnational Repression" and is being actively handled in accordance with relevant operating procedures. The government will make every effort to combat this type of transnational repression and is considering amending laws to deter local collaborators from cooperating with the CCP’s crimes in Taiwan and ensure the safety of the people.
