Beijing’s secret plan to take over Taiwan without firing a shot

Okay, so the 2024 election was the first time in Taiwan's history that a single political party held the presidency for a third consecutive term. Taiing went of the DPP or Democratic Progressive Party passed the baton to his vice president Lindu or William Lee. Although voters chosen another DPP president, they didn't give the DPP a majority in the legislature legislature or the parliament. Out of the 113 seats in Taiwan's parliament, the opposition KMT Guingang or the nationalists which is known as the blue camp, the blue party holds a majority with 52 seats and the ruling DPP or the green camp trails by one seat with 51. And Taiwan has a third party, the people's party uh which is also called the white camp holds eight seats. And shortly after the presidential election in early 2024, I shouldn't say presidential, general election in 2024, it was revealed that Xiinping issued a directive to the CCP's Taiwan Affairs Office and the United Front Work Department. He instructed them to use their infiltration networks in Taiwan to seize power in the legislative UN, Taiwan's Parliament, and undermine Taiwan from within its own system. And so not long after that, 17 KMT legislators traveled to the mainland to be received by Wan Huning, chairman of the CPPCC and the chief of China's Taiwan Affairs Office. Then the third party TPP formed a strategic alliance with the KMT creating a large prokm coalition and this coalition elected a very probeijing figure Huyu as parliamentary president or speaker. Therefore, so through CCP proxies in the legislature wielding legislative power, efforts were made to undermine the authority of the executive branch. So using their majority, the KMT legislators and their allies obstructed key legislation, particularly Taiwan's defense budget. They passed controversial amendments that expanded the legislaturator's power. These laws weakened the executive branch and align with CCP's interests. Um so the action of the KMT alliance alarmed many people in Taiwan. They raised concerns about the health of Taiwan's democracy and its ability to deter CCP's military threats. And this is what the situation is very similar to what happened in South Korea. But the difference is that in Taiwan, people initiated this great recall movement. And the math works um like this. If the DPP could flip six KMT seats through this re recall effort and the resulting reelections, then they would secure a 57 seat majority and ending the current minority government predicament. Uh and then they would regain full control of the legislature and the executive branch. And out of the 6.7 million eligible voters, um about 4 million people participated in today's vote. and that's quite high. However, all 24 KM legislators survived the recall effort and the mayor of Shinzu and I think and cao who was also targeted confirmed that she regained or retained his her position. So none of the recall mo motions got a majority got a majority vote and so the KMT is certainly ecstatic about the results and one of its party leaders even demanded an apology from President Lie even though the recall movement wasn't initiated by him or the DPP. So the outcome of the recall movement will have longasting consequences for Taiwan but the impact of this failed recall is deeply felt. It's a major setback for those fighting on the front lines against CCP's influence in Taiwan. The island now faces greater risks. The CCP and its local allies will likely become bolder including and selling out Taiwan's interests. Um, this brings us to the next topic, which is the most important part of tonight's discussion. What will the CCP do next to take over Taiwan? Remember this guy Victor Gal is called the wolf warrior intellectual and he made headlines or he made uh notoriety for his coma com combative performance debating uh UK's journal journalist Maddie Hassam. Now Victor Gao was Deniaing's interpreter. He has a master's degree in international relations from Yao University. He's a VP at a CCP affiliated think tank in China. He's also a professor in China. And on July 4th, he gave a speech at a Chinese university in which he described China's best strategy to take over chi to take over Taiwan. I'm sure he would never give it away like that in London or in the US, but someone filmed his speech and uploaded the clip to the internet and I translated and asked Chris to add simultaneous translation. When it comes to resolving the Taiwan issue, peaceful unification isn't realistic and military unification is too costly. I propose a middle path. Something like a second seon incident which could be part of a broader military unification strategy. What do I mean? You know how during the civil war when our communist troops were besieged by Chiang Kaishek's nationalist forces and were on the verge of being wiped out? Jang Shuyang and Yang Huchen suddenly detained Chiang Kaishek and forced him to form an alliance with us to fight the Japanese. Is there someone in Taiwan today who could suddenly seize control of Liing T, President of Taiwan? He wouldn't even need to force Lie to agree to unification. Once Lie is under control, he'd become irrelevant. Then a series of decrees could be issued. The most critical one would say, "Due to the situation in Taiwan, which may get out of control, we call upon security personnel from the mainland to immediately enter the island to ensure stability." Wow. Our massive troops, in my wildest dreams, wearing security guard uniforms, would enter the island. This wouldn't be a military campaign, but a stability mission. We'd be invited by the Taiwanese government. Then that individual, whoever it is, could issue another order banning Taiwan's military and police from firing on mainland security forces, declaring that they'll be held responsible for any casualties. Just like that, bam. Our massive forces would occupy the island. Military unification is a powerful behind-the-scenes move. But it's masked by a Taiwanese Jang Shu Yang. Let me give an example. Dentists are important. Saiing or Ling must visit their dentists, right? Whether it's a filling or another procedure, they'll need anesthesia, right? Oops. double the dosage and they pass out. Then that person can issue the decrees, 10 of them instantly. I could even help draft them in advance. Okay, that's the end of the clip. What do you think? It's chilling. He mentioned Shian incident, which you know is an important event during World War II that changed Chinese history. Jang Kashuk was detained by one of his most trusted generals who were collaborating with the CCP. uh Jung was eventually released but forced to collaborate with the Communist Party and this collaboration further empowered the CCP but weakened the nationalists resulting in Jang's eventual defeat in the mainland. Now Beijing wants to repeat that now in Taiwan and Victor Gal's words should serve as a wakeup call for Taiwan and the world. Uh the dental incident he described at the end wasn't a joke or an or or just um analogy. You'd be shocked by how deeply the Chinese Communist Party has infiltrated Taiwan. In February, Taiwan's security agencies quietly arrested a man whose name is Wu Shang Yu, who is a PLE spy embedded within President Liy's inner circle along with two DPP staffers who helped him leak sensitive information to Beijing. Woo is a longtime DPP insider uh or he was a longtime DPP insider. He was employed as an advisor in the pre in the presidential office, but he had already been recruited by Chinese intelligence and was reporting on the president's every move. The spy named Wu had been with Linda since the since his time as vice president, serving in a confidential role, and once Lie became president, Wu was formerly appointed as a presidential advisor. It's likely this high level access made him a prime target for recruitment. Um, Chinese intelligence used Woo's friend as a conduit to convert him. Um, and then successfully planting an agent inside the president's office. And Wu isn't alone. The CCP has long targeted not only the the KMT, but also the DPP. Both parties are are targets. The methods the CCP use are bribery, infiltration, and political manipa manipulation. And another aid uh his name is Shenuing was recently exposed for leaking confidential legislative documents to the CCP over several years in exchange for large sums of money. And Shan had served multiple DPP lawmakers, including former legislative UN president Yosukun. And one aid who had worked for former foreign minister Joseph Woo for six years has also recently been um identified as a CCP spy. In March, a separate case made headlines. three soldiers formerly tasked with guarding the presidential office along with one soldier from the Taiwanese um uh cyber cyber warfare division um Taiwanese military cyber warfare division were sentenced to prison for filming and selling classified information or or I shouldn't say classified uh confidential military information to China. These individuals were from the elite 211th military/p police battalion um and the information communication and electronic force command. So between 2022 and 2024 the four soldiers received between 8,000 and 20,000 US. They weren't charged with espionage because the documents that they they filmed or they leaked were not formally declared as classified information. So they were convicted of corruption for accepting bribes. So this is the situation in Taiwan. Um even in high level espionage cases, Taiwan's sentencing is often too lenient. The lack of deterrence is one reason CCP spies are so rampant. In March, prosecutors review another investigation into two Air Force personnel, one retired, one still active. uh that suspected of leaking details of one of Taiwan's most advanced missile systems to the Chinese. So the above cases are only the tip of the iceberg, but they are the reason why I don't think we should underestimate Victor Gal's words. They are real threat and when it happens, the United States cannot do anything. Their hands are tied.
