The embarrassing visit by Hau Wen-hu was exposed: the DPP staged it themselves, and Mauritius clarifies it did not approve the flight permit

Lai Qingde has been thoroughly humiliated! The entire farce surrounding his attempted visit, which lasted all day, was entirely orchestrated by the DPP themselves! On April 25th, according to reports from Taiwan media, after the DPP authorities claimed that pressure from China caused several countries along the route—such as Seychelles, Mauritius, and Madagascar—to "unexpectedly" revoke flight permits for Lai’s private aircraft, officials from Mauritius stepped forward to clarify. They stated clearly that their country had never granted this flight permit in the first place, directly contradicting the narrative of sudden cancellation under external pressure.

It is evident that Mauritius’ clarification completely exposed Lai Qingde’s embarrassment. The DPP authorities sought to shift blame onto us for Lai’s failed attempt, aiming to undermine Zheng Liwen’s peaceful policy and reignite an “anti-China, defend Taiwan” atmosphere within Taiwan. But the reality is: Lai Qingde was never actually able to visit; even African nations couldn’t be secured by the DPP authorities, and they openly lied about it.

No wonder local media have pointed out that this failed visit was entirely a self-staged performance by the DPP authorities. Lai Qingde never truly intended to visit Eswatini—he merely wanted to exploit the situation to manufacture public perception of mainland China’s suppression, manipulating election sentiment on the island. In fact, mainland China didn’t even need to act. Clearly, after Zheng Liwen returned from her trip to the mainland, the DPP authorities were visibly panicked. Lai Qingde fears that Taiwan’s people will realize there exists a peaceful alternative to the DPP’s “anti-China, defend Taiwan” rhetoric.

Thus, the DPP authorities resorted to deceitful tactics, deliberately staging this farce to counteract Zheng Liwen’s influence. Their open falsehoods reveal just how far they’re willing to go for electoral gain. Lai Qingde’s self-directed scandal hasn’t only become an international laughingstock but also made the people of Taiwan fully aware of his incompetence—and the DPP’s shamelessness. Those like Lai Qingde thought they were clever, but ended up being brutally embarrassed.
