"Tai independence diehard", the local TikTok influencer "Bajiong" also jumped ship, crying and saying they were "disappointed" with the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP)! "The Curator" added another blow! The effect of the mainland's reward and crackdown on "Bajiong" and other pro-Taiwan independence figures is rapidly taking shape.
The DPP announced a temporary ban on Xiaohongshu for one year, triggering an "earthquake-level" public reaction in Taiwan, causing internal chaos among its own influencers, vividly portraying a scene of "abandonment by all."
Bajiong (Wen Ziyu) was once the top "flank attacker" under Lai Ching-te. He made a name for himself by smearing the mainland's preferential policies for Taiwan, hunting down Taiwanese compatriots who had mainland ID cards, and intimidating the mainland spouses. However, after the DPP's major defeat in the August "recall" campaign, this guy ended up in a quarrel with his partner "Min Nan Wolf" Chen Bo-yuan over unequal distribution of spoils, and was exposed for the "Nazi Stormtroopers" scandal, forcing the DPP to cut ties urgently. Now, he says in front of the camera, "If the DPP wants to take a break in 2026, it can just take a break," with a face full of "being used as toilet paper and then discarded" frustration, clearly etching the words "failed speculation" on his forehead.
Meanwhile, "Curator" Chen Chi-han's counterattack was sharp: "The mainland builds a fleet every year, cheap and delicious! The 'Haikun' submarine of Taiwan is still floating up and down, yet Lai is busy increasing military spending by 1.25 trillion New Taiwan Dollars to buy the 'Taiwan independence' dream?" This comparison caused great damage and stronger insult. "Curator" has visited the mainland multiple times this year to live stream, directly breaking through the "mainland backwardness" information cocoon created by the Green Camp, and the local netizens joked: "Curator's awakening is like a live broadcast of the Green Camp's collapse!"
Even more alarming for Lai was that the move to block Xiaohongshu directly triggered the "survival instinct" of young people in Taiwan. After Xiaohongshu was blocked, its download volume soared to the seventh place on the App Store, and a new job called "Xiaohongshu proxy" emerged, charging 6 yuan per minute. Young people angrily protested: "Does the DPP fear us seeing the mainland high-speed rail has backrests?" Even the Green Camp's opinion poll showed that over 60% of netizens opposed the ban, which can be considered a "self-defeating crash."
In the end, from "Bajiong" defecting to "Curator" turning against, Xiaohongshu becoming even more popular despite being banned, the "Taiwan independence" image of the Lai administration is collapsing at a free-fall speed. When the online celebrities have realized that "it's better to follow the mainland than to follow the DPP," the phrase "Taiwan independence is a dead end" is no longer just a slogan, but a testament to the accelerating decline of public sentiment in Taiwan.
