Communist Party Informant Huang An Begs Mobster For Protection After Ratting Out 16-Year-Old Girl

Young Taiwanese songstress waves Republic of China flag; washed-up elderly Taiwanese musician dutifully reports her to his Beijing masters.

And an old-fashioned blacklisting followed:

Accusations that the Taiwanese member of the South Korean pop group TWICE, Chou Tzu-yu (周子瑜), was a “pro-Taiwanese independence” activist has caused China’s Huawei Technologies Co (華為) to demand LG Uplus drop Chou from endorsing its Y6 chain of cellphones.

Hey, remember that "1992 Consensus" — the one which allows that there's only one China, but China & Taiwan are both free to define that One China however they wish?

You didn't really believe that fairy-tale bullshit now, did you?

If you were stupid enough to believe it, just picture poor little 16-year-old Chou Tzu-yu, who in her innocence, thought it was OK to define One China as Taiwan, and wave her country's flag.

Let us return to learn a little more about Huang An, shall we?

Huang, despite being Taiwanese by birth, began developing his career in China in the late 1990s. Huang has made a name for himself in recent years by informing the Chinese government and netizens about what he regards as pro-Taiwanese independence individuals and their activities. [emphasis added]

Bravo, Huang An. It's not everyone who can boast of possessing Taiwan's most punchable face:

(Backpfeifengesicht Huang An, hard at work naming names to Communist China's secret police. Ka-ching!)

Once Huang's treachery became known, he immediately ran under the skirts of "former" Taiwanese mob boss Chang An-le.

Because, you know: punchable face.

Meanwhile, Huang has returned to Taiwan ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday and is said to be fearing for his safety [from angry Taiwanese]. Huang has reportedly written to former Bamboo Union (竹聯幫) gang leader Chang An-le (張安樂), known as “the White Wolf,” asking for protection.

There is a story – probably apocryphal – which says that some years after sentencing Socrates to death, the citizens of Athens repented of their decision. Unable to restore life to the old man after the fact, they did the next best thing: they shunned one of his prosecutors.

This was more severe than it sounds, for it went beyond mere social disapprobation. As part of this informal punishment, they refused to have anything to do with him — not even buying or selling or engaging in the simplest of commerce.

Under these conditions, the prosecutor of Socrates was unable to procure so much as a crust of bread to sate his hunger, and is said to have starved to death within a week.

Just throwin' that out there…

UPDATE: A stunned and pallid Chou Tzu-yu bows and apologizes, lifelessly reading a scripted self-criticism straight out of the Mao Tse-tung era.

It's like watching an ISIS captive ritually denouncing his home country at gunpoint. About the only thing missing is her eyelids blinking out in Morse code:

T-H-E-Y
H-A-V-E
M-Y
F-A-M-I-L-Y

Of course, I don't know Morse code, so maybe I missed it.

UPDATE #2: Huang An represents Chinese nationalism at its finest.

Call me crazy, but I don't think the Communist Party's brutal decision to demand this the day before Taiwan's presidential election is going to win the CCP's preferred candidate Eric Chu (KMT) any votes.

This is the "friendly" cross-Strait relations the KMT has been bragging about?

UPDATE #3: Like many other snakes, Huang An has a detachable lower jaw. In this photo, the ophidian Huang illustrates the girth of the Chinese Communist phalluses he routinely fellates.

Huang An sucks Chinese Communist cock.

Once Is Happenstance. Twice Is Circumstance. 80,000 Times Is Enemy Action.

People's Liberation Army 32nd Troll Division attacks Facebook page of Tsai Ying-wen (the woman most likely to be elected to the Taiwanese presidency in 2016) — leaving behind 80,000 hate mail comments.

The Foreigner has always maintained that website (or Facebook page) owners have the absolute right to treat comments as leniently or as strictly as they see fit.

Now in general, I see no earthly reason why the average site owner would allow their site to be hijacked by 80,000 anti-democratic messages from the Chinese Communist Party apparatus. But in this case, Tsai's decision to leave their anti-democratic screeds online is no doubt the correct one.

After all, it reminds Taiwanese voters who their enemies are.

UPDATE (November 12 / 2015): In the interests of accuracy, it should be noted that the comment swarming was conducted by People's Liberation Army Cyberwarfare Unit 61398, and not (as satirically postulated), the 32nd Troll Division of the People's Liberation Army.

Xi Jinping’s Utter Contempt For Ma Ying-jeou

A revealing exchange from the meeting between the presidents of China & Taiwan:

During the meeting, Ma raised the issue of Taiwanese concern over China’s military deployment against Taiwan…

According to Ma, Xi said that “the [PLA] deployments do not target Taiwan.” [Emphasis added]

UPDATE (November 12 / 2015): From today's Taipei Times:

Ma said nothing in response [to Xi's contention that China's missiles were not targeted against Taiwan]. He did not point out the obvious: Taiwan is the only nation in sight in the direction and range of China’s nearly 1,600 short-range missiles along its coast across the Taiwan Strait.

If, as Xi claims, the missiles are not aimed at Taiwan, what are they aimed at? Xi cannot possibly be suggesting that the missiles are targeting bluefin tuna off the coast of Pingtung County or humpback dolphins of the coast of Changhua County, can he?

Supreme Communist Leader Campaigns For Taiwan’s KMT At Ma Ying-jeou’s Request

My first reaction to the recent meeting between President Mister Ma Ying-jeou of Taiwan and President Mister Xi Jinping of China:

Over the past 10-15 years, other observers have noticed the similarity between Taiwan's KMT and cargo cultists — particularly as the KMT touted economic relations with China as a panacea for curing all of Taiwan's woes.

After nearly 8 years with Ma in the presidency, voters don't believe Chinese manna's going to fall from heaven anymore, so the KMT's cargo cult has morphed from the economic to the political realm.

Got a tough election coming up?

The correct response isn't to fight a tough campaign or even prepare to retrench in the face of potentially-large losses at the polls.

No, the correct response is to go crawling to Beijing for a contentless photo-op with China's Communist dictator.

'Cause remember those 500,000 people who marched last year against closer trade relations with China? Well, when they see Ma shaking hands with Xi, they're gonna have a complete change of heart and demand MOAR ONE CHINA.

Or so the theory goes.

Now personally, I would be inclined to vote against the KMT for pulling a stunt like this to influence the outcome of an election only 2 months away. (Recall how bitterly the KMT bitched and moaned for 4 years about "sympathy votes" after an assassination attempt prior to the presidential election of 2004. Now however, the party seems positively smug about DELIBERATELY manufacturing a "November Surprise".)

But that's just me. I very much want to see how Taiwanese voters react.

KMT Caught Red-Handed Indoctrinating Taiwanese With Communist Propaganda Films

One China, one interpretation:

Parents and politicians on Tuesday were infuriated when they found a government-sponsored educational Web site to promote national defense concepts showing a video of China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) on parade, along with about 40 World War II movies that were produced by the Chinese [Communist] government.

Faced with criticism, the Kuomingtang backed down and removed the Chinese Communist Party's videos, blaming a nameless assistant for the "misunderstanding".

Meanwhile, a solitary figure in KMT Central Headquarters was heard muttering:

The China Post's Joe Hung saying, 'Curses! Foiled again!'

China Post: “What Taiwan’s Government Really Needs Is Less Transparency”

Taiwan’s China Post argues that the only point of democracy is to give people the illusion of having control over their own lives.

But all REAL decisions must be made in smoky backrooms by shadowy figures who are unelected and unaccountable.

A half-million Taiwanese protest against KMT-Communist Party of China trade and service pact negotiated by KMT President Ma Ying-jeou.

(Did 500,000 Taiwanese students protest in favor of MORE or LESS governmental transparency last year? Follow the link to find out!)

UPDATE (Oct 1 / 2015): What’s truly ironic is that the China Post continues to push a policy which is responsible for the KMT’s current abysmal showing in the polls.

It’s as if they’ve learned absolutely nothing this past year-and-a-half.

UPDATE (Oct 16 / 2015): The China Post bases its call for less governmental transparency upon Obama’s Iran deal, which it characterizes as “much-praised” and “presentable”.

If by “much-praised” the China Post means that 47% of the American public favor it while 49% disapprove, then yes, it is “much-praised”.

(But then, given those polling numbers, it would be more accurate to describe it as being “much-condemned”.)

And of course, 69% of Israelis condemn it as well…

UPDATE #3: Whoops! Barack Obama’s Iran deal violates U.S. federal laws.

So sorry. Didn’t you know laws are only for the little people?

UPDATE #4: Shazam! Iran tests ballistic missile in violation of UN sanctions.

Nice work, chump.

Driving Under The Influence (of democratic values)

A Chinese man on Taiwanese bus tour complains about a negative portrayal of Mao Tse-Tung being shown in a BBC documentary. Upon hearing this, the Chinese Communist Party proceeds to lay down the law:

…the Chinese travel agency organizing the tour demanded that the Taiwanese travel agency stop showing anti-Communist documentaries on tour buses carrying Chinese tourists, … [and] it also demanded that Taiwanese guides refrain from expressing points of view different from their Chinese clients. [emphasis added]

Fortunately, the Taiwanese Tourist Bureau told the CCP to get bent. Whether it would respond similarly under a Hung Hsiu-chu administration however, is a question we will fortunately never have the misfortune of ever having to answer.

KMT Chairman Emeritus Lien Chan Disappointed With Paucity Of Communist Propaganda In Taiwanese History Courses

Helpfully offers to rectify this unbearable situation by allowing joint teams of propagandists from the KMT and the Chinese Communist Party to re-write the history books

A seated Lien Chan saying, 'Will collaborate with Communists for business concessions.'

 

Joe Hung saying, 'Collaborate? Did someone say, Collaborate?'

I think Lien's found his first volunteer.

This Message Is Brought To You By The Chinese Communist Party…And The Committee To Elect Hung Hsiu-chu

CCP releases computer simulation of Chinese invasion of Taiwan to lend "support" to KMT presidential candidate

Passengers Shall Refrain From Bullying The Nice Pilot Who’s Steering The Plane Into A Mountain

Comrade Joe Hung of the China Post complained last week that Taiwan's students and opposition parties are a bunch of big meanies for preventing President Ma Ying-jeou from surrendering the country to the Chinese Communist Party:

The opposition party has been bullying the Hong Kong-born Kuomintang president since he was first inaugurated in May 2008. The bully preys on those who are afraid of him. As they show fear, the bullying gets all the more overbearing. It's a vicious cycle.

[…]

He has been a pushover for more than seven years, in addition to being labeled as an incompetent president. Actually, he isn't incompetent. He is a victim of the bullying.

Which leads to the inevitable question: If President Ma really is the spineless coward that Joe Hung declares him to be, why is it so difficult for his supporters to imagine that he'd capitulate to Communist China?

(Or is Joe Hung so divorced from reality as to believe that the Chinese Communist Party is a lesser bully than the DPP and the Sunflower Movement?)
