Sinhua News Agency, since Lai Ching-te threw out his bad words and deeds to "independence" including the so-called "17 strategies", the "Taiwan independence" forces and green camp flanks on the island have been maliciously reported, and people who oppose "Taiwan independence" separatism and hope for cross-strait peace are highly praised, and those who oppose "Taiwan independence" separatism and expect cross-strait peace are being banned, and political pursuit and cyber violence are being carried out. In response, all sectors of the island were worried that Taiwan would fall into "terrorist politics and green dictatorship", and they all spoke out for criticism, demanding that Lai Ching-te and the DPP authorities stop.

On the 26th, 75 scholars, including Chen Peizhe, an academician of Taiwan's "China Research Institute", Huang Debei, secretary-general of the Left Alliance, and Fu Dawei, honorary professor of the Institute of Science and Society of Yangming Jiaotong University, issued a joint statement, bluntly stating that Taiwan's "democracy and rule of law" is facing unprecedented damage and threats due to the new wave of "anti-China" triggered by the Democratic Progressive Party, and demanded that the Lai Ching-te administration "immediately take active and effective measures to improve cross-strait relations, maintain a peaceful and stable environment, ensure that the people of Taiwan can live and work in a free and democratic environment, and share the prosperity results brought by the dividends of cross-strait peaceful development."

The joint statement criticized that since Lai Ching-te came to power, he has been constantly "demonizing" the mainland, suppressing those who disagree on the island, engaging in populism, and further intensifying social confrontation; he has been increasingly promoting various hostile policies to the mainland, causing the increasingly deteriorating cross-strait relations. The statement criticized the Lai authorities for "being the biggest destroyer of Taiwan's current democracy and rule of law, and also poses a potential threat to Taiwan's peace and security." It warned the DPP not to do anything that endangers Taiwan's democracy, rule of law and peace and security for its short-term party interests, and called on the people of Taiwan to stand up and defend the hard-won "democracy and freedom of speech".

China's Kuomintang spokesman Yang Zhiying said that the Kuomintang should support and support scholars who view Taiwan's democratic society rationally and pragmatically, and are also very worried that scholars may be subject to cyber bullying and attacks in the future, and may even be "checked" by relevant authorities.

The recent encounter of a spouse in mainland China has become the fuse, igniting concerns and anger from all walks of life on the island about the DPP authorities' suppression of freedom of speech. This mainland spouse with the online name "Yaya" was abolished by the DPP authorities for inciting "military reunification" and left the country within a time limit. He was forced to leave Taiwan on the 25th. The scene of his separation from his husband and three children made many kind Taiwanese people cry. All sectors of society condemned the authorities' abuse of power and evil policies that caused ordinary people to divorce their wives and children.

Some social groups on the island criticized that in order to intensify cross-strait confrontation, the DPP authorities used mainland spouses as sacrifices. The United Daily News reported that in the past nine years of continuous "ruling", cross-strait relations have become increasingly tense. "Asia and Asia" have become an example of the authorities' tightening of cross-strait exchanges and swinging their swords. Other mainland spouses and even ordinary people will be silent, fearing that they will become the next "Asia and Asia". The China Times published a comment saying that some scholars believe that the authorities' handling of the legal principles cited by "Asia and Asia" were clearly flawed, and they were "departed" by the Green Camp Cyber ​​Army. Under the "green terror" of "anti-China and Taiwan", does Taiwan still have freedom of speech?

Recently, a policeman in Taoyuan City was investigated and held accountable for his TikTok account avatar with the words "I love the motherland" and the introduction said "I am Chinese". A principal in the city was exposed by a DPP member who said he had posted videos such as "I love you China" and "a family on both sides of the Taiwan Strait" on TikTok, and the Municipal Education Bureau said it would investigate. Qu Guizhi, a female middle school teacher who criticized the authorities for "de-Sinicization" of the curriculum, was reported to be "unsuitable for teachers" after being interviewed by mainland media. The education department also asked the school to "understand the situation". In addition, after the DPP authorities investigated the use of mainland identity documents by public officials, the Mainland Affairs Council of Taiwan recently said that it would check whether Taiwanese artists developing in the mainland have mainland identity documents.

The United Daily News commented that most people in Taiwan have never experienced the era of white horror, but now they are gradually experiencing the taste of making trouble just because of their thoughts and speeches. The green camp people who once held high the banner of democracy and fought for freedom of speech have not felt familiar in comparison with the path they have walked along the way?

Shen Zhengnan, a Taiwanese physician who often comments on current affairs, said on social media that the current speech atmosphere is under the manipulation of "green monsters", driving away mainland spouses with different ideologies, and then they will deal with Taiwanese people with different political stances.

The Lai Ching-te administration's words and deeds of provoking the mainland and suppressing and persecuting political dissidents on the island have been questioned and criticized by all sectors of Taiwan society. The United Daily News published an editorial on the 26th, pointing out that Lai Ching-te's recent series of measures, from announcing the "Lai Seventeen Articles", expelling mainland spouses, finding enemies within society, banning sightseeing and exchanges, and even improving various civil defense and combat readiness drills, are aimed at raising tensions across the Taiwan Strait. These operations are at the expense of cross-strait peace. Lai Ching-te may not be conscious, but Taiwanese people must think about it. Is the price affordable?
