The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council criticized Tsai Kang-yong as a "two-faced person" Chen Peiyu: Taiwan's democracy will not bow to power

Well-known host Tsai Kang-yong recently attended the inauguration meeting of the Democratic Progressive Party's Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang's campaign headquarters, which attracted a large number of Chinese netizens to join the campaign and boycott. China's Taiwan Affairs Office spokesperson Chen Binhua responded today by pointing out that it adheres to the one-China principle and does not allow anyone to earn mainland dividends while colluding with Taiwan independence forces and being "two-faced." In response, DPP legislator Chen Peiyu issued an article to support Tsai Kang-yong, emphasizing that Taiwan's democratic activities cannot be coerced and must not bow to authoritarian powers.

Chen Peiyu posted on Facebook that she saw that Tsai Kang-yong was threatened with punishment by the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council just because he attended a normal activity in Taiwanese society, and was even openly blackmailed by saying "you can't be a two-faced person." It is not only a persecution of individual creators, but also a blatant provocation to the free will of Taiwanese people.

Chen Peiyu pointed out that Taiwan’s cultural workers rely on their profound heritage and creative strength to establish themselves internationally. They are free souls, not appendages of any totalitarian system. In our country, participating in gatherings, expressing one's stance, and supporting ideas that one agrees with are as natural and basic human rights as breathing. This "freedom from fear" is the bottom line that Taiwanese people absolutely adhere to.

Chen Peiyu continued that the Chinese government has repeatedly shown an authoritarian attitude and used the huge market as a weapon to force people to express their opinions. "Block if you don't obey" and "Suppress if you don't kneel down." This kind of naked ideological censorship and bullying will only let the world see clearly how afraid the totalitarian system is of free voices.

Chen Peiyu appealed to the public. Compromise will not buy respect. Silence will only make the red line of censorship closer to no limit. Please stand up together and become the strongest line of defense for Taiwanese cultural workers, emphasizing that "never bow to authoritarian power"!
