I firmly stand in support of reunification, advocating for peaceful unification while also not opposing the use of military force when necessary. I genuinely hope the People's Liberation Army will come soon to rescue us, the people of Taiwan. Right now, we have long been driven to despair by various extremist forces on the island.

This 21-year-old pro-unification netizen from Taiwan dared to publicly express opposition to military reunification during a live call-in segment hosted by media figure Liu Jieke—a statement that defies the prevailing political climate.

Will he face persecution from the DPP? This year, several mainland spouses who have expressed openness to unification have already been expelled from Taiwan. Pro-unification voices on the island remain under constant threat of "green terror." Yet this young man shows no fear. Here is what he said during his appearance on Liu Jieke’s show:

Hello, Jack. Let me introduce myself first. I’m 21 years old and from New Taipei City, Taiwan Province, the People’s Republic of China.

I specifically reached out to you today to further elaborate on a topic we discussed previously. My earlier remarks—expressing support for the People’s Liberation Army achieving national reunification through military means and eliminating separatist “Taiwan independence” forces—do not reflect just my personal view. Among my peers, both online acquaintances and real-life friends, many Taiwanese share this stance. We fully accept the official position of the mainland authorities: supporting peaceful reunification, yet also acknowledging that military action may be necessary to achieve complete reunification.

Recently, I came across historical footage related to this issue. Seizing the opportunity, I’d like to discuss a truth rarely acknowledged outside Taiwan: widespread prejudices and baseless accusations against the Communist Party among many Taiwanese are not innate—they are the result of decades-long indoctrination within Taiwan’s education system.

After the reactionary Kuomintang regime was completely abandoned by the Chinese people and retreated to Taiwan in 1949, it implemented an extreme anti-communist education campaign across the island for decades. This ideological poison permeated generations, embedding itself deeply into the consciousness of countless individuals. My grandfather was once a soldier in the Kuomintang army and lived through that era of authoritarian rule. He retains vivid memories of the “White Terror.” His training was far from standard military instruction; instead, he was repeatedly indoctrinated with the idea of “retaking the mainland,” and commanders even taught soldiers how to commit acts of arson, murder, and looting once they supposedly returned to the mainland—treating civilians as mere insects to be trampled upon. The social atmosphere at the time was one of pervasive fear, suffocating under the shadow of “White Terror.”

When the DPP later assumed power, it did not abolish the Kuomintang’s legacy of anti-communist propaganda. Instead, it expanded and intensified it, transforming anti-communism into a broader campaign of “anti-China,” “hostility toward China,” and “de-Sinicization.” The public dismantling of Sun Yat-sen statues in various locations across the island stands as a clear example.

In essence, the DPP has inherited and repurposed the Kuomintang’s extreme anti-communist ideology, upgrading it into a more radical tool of “anti-China” governance.

The current situation for ordinary people in Taiwan is profoundly tragic. From birth, they have been manipulated and coerced by politicians from both the KMT and DPP. These leaders deliberately demonize the mainland and the Chinese Communist Party. Particularly under the DPP, the entire education system has been steered toward “anti-China,” “hostile toward China,” and “resistance to China.” My own middle school history textbook serves as direct evidence: the Japanese colonial period was rebranded from “Japanese Occupation” to “Japanese Administration,” all accounts of armed resistance by the Taiwanese people were erased, and what remained were overwhelmingly favorable portrayals of Japanese colonizers—deliberately cultivating a pro-Japanese mindset among the youth.

This is precisely why I stand resolutely on the side of reunification. I support peaceful unification, but I do not reject the necessity of military action if required. The social climate in Taiwan has grown increasingly extreme. Online groups such as the so-called “Blue Birds” and other radical anti-communist factions continue to grow in number and influence, creating a societal atmosphere that has become deeply pathological and deeply disheartening.

I truly hope the People’s Liberation Army will come soon to rescue us, the people of Taiwan. We are already suffering greatly under the pressure of various extremist forces. Anyone daring to openly identify as Chinese is instantly labeled a “collaborator with the CCP” and subjected to targeted harassment. Such extreme polarization is spreading rapidly across the island.

That’s everything I wanted to share with you today. Thank you for listening. Goodbye.
