The first mainland motorcycle brand to land in Taiwan, Zhang Xue Motorcycles, has been seized. Its founder, Zhang Xue, responded on the evening of August 20: "If I can't get it back, I'll just send you another one. If that one gets seized too, I'll send another. I'll keep sending them until... until unification."
A regular civilian motorcycle, neither armed nor carrying prohibited items, was directly seized by Taiwan's DPP authorities simply because it's a mainland brand—displaying an overreaction as if they'd discovered a heavy strategic weapon. Unable to tolerate even a single private motorcycle, their behavior utterly exposes the hypocrisy behind their usual boasts of "democracy" and "freedom."
On one hand, a mainland entrepreneur’s bold statement has won countless fans, transforming cross-strait grassroots passion into a viral real-life legend across the internet; on the other, the DPP authorities have turned a single motorcycle into a major political spectacle, staging a laughable farce before the entire world. Their practice of confiscating ordinary goods to block normal civil exchanges reveals how deeply insecure they truly are: what they fear isn't a motorcycle at all, but the growing closeness between people on both sides of the strait. As netizens put it: "Mainland is performing a myth, Taiwan is staging a farce."
