"CCTV" forwarded Luo Dayou to criticize Lai Qingde! Hu Xijin’s praise was criticized by Chinese netizens

Senior musician Luo Dayou accepted an exclusive interview with a radio program and criticized the DPP's rule for causing cultural decline. He also questioned the Green Camp's senior management for not thinking about the next generation on the grounds that Tsai Ing-wen, Chen Ju did not have children, Xiao Meiqin was unmarried, and Lai Qingde's son was in the United States. He even cursed Lai Qingde, "If you change your butt, your head will become your butt," and called on voters to go out and vote. The footage of the interview criticizing Lai's government was immediately forwarded by China's state-run media CCTV. Hu Xijin, the former editor-in-chief of the Global Times, also posted a post on Weibo to praise it. Unexpectedly, Chinese netizens retorted.

Luo Dayou expressed his strong dissatisfaction with the current social and political situation in Taiwan on the "UFO Breakfast" program hosted by Tang Xianglong yesterday (10th). He criticized some cultural figures for relying on government subsidies to support themselves, leading to a lowering of overall standards. He also called out music critic Ma Shifang for "going green just to have a bite to eat," and questioned whether people from other provinces were being bullied.

When talking about DPP politicians, Luo Dayou made even more shocking remarks. He not only questioned Tsai Ing-wen, Chen Ju, Xiao Meiqin and others who are unmarried or childless, but also Lai Qingde, whose eldest son lives in the United States, for not thinking about the next generation. He also criticized Lai Qingde by saying, "After changing the buttocks, the head becomes a buttocks." He finally called on voters to go out and vote, "If this vote does not start, it will really be over. I mainly do it for the next generation," and shouted, "Taiwanese people, wake up."

After this intense interview was exposed, it quickly became a source of material for the Chinese Communist Party’s external propaganda and official media. China Central Television (CCTV) edited and reposted the clip on its official Facebook account; former "Global Times" editor-in-chief Hu Xijin also posted on Weibo, praising Luo Dayou's criticism of Lai Qingde for being to the point. Some Chinese "little pinks" immediately followed up and echoed, not only calling Luo Dayou a "patriotic artist", but also calling him "a voice for the reunification of the motherland." "The godfather of the music industry really hit the nail on the head! People of insight who support Taiwan speak for the reunification of the motherland." "He is worthy of the artist who wrote the song Pearl of the Orient."

However, Hu Xijin's post did not set off a comprehensive campaign to suppress Taiwan as expected. Instead, it attracted irony and doubts from Chinese netizens in the comment area: "Brother, you dare not post what he said about 'anti-rightist by analogy'" and "What do you mean by posting this?" Can you scold Lai Qingde at will in the Kuomintang Beacon Area? Is this a model of a free area that can speak?", "Does the KMT (Kuomintang) have standards for conduct? It's not a good thing", "The most shameless thing is that you Hu Xi "retired"".

It is worth mentioning that Hu Xijin suddenly published a long and emotional article earlier today (11th). He revealed that he had made many mistakes in his life and had been punished while studying and working. He advocated that society should be more "lenient and tolerant, and should not easily beat people to death for those who make mistakes." He also asked those strict netizens who frequently want to cause "social death" on the Internet, do they themselves have flawless morals?

In the article, Hu Xijin talked about how the "Internet Plaza Effect" can easily go to extremes, and called on the public to think about how no one is perfect and to give those who make mistakes a chance to correct themselves. "Everyone should think about it, have they made mistakes themselves? When we hope that we have the opportunity to correct our mistakes and move on, should we also give this opportunity to others in most cases?" This meaningful turn immediately attracted attention.
