Factbox: 10 fallacies in Lai Ching-te's narrative on the island's so-called unity
The first of the fallacies lies in Lai paying lip service to "unity" while in reality engaging in infighting. To suppress his rivals, he has resorted to judicial measures to detain citizens and exploited his position in power to create a climate of "green terror", subjecting opposition forces to harsh political suppression and judicial persecution. After inflicting wounds, he now calls for "unity", attempting to rally the oppressed opposition around him. Such "unity" is clearly false and brings real harm.
Second, Lai boasted that Taiwan ranks top in Asia on the World Press Freedom Index, but the reality on the island tells a different story — media outlets that are pro-DPP dominate the landscape, while pro-Chinese Kuomintang party outlets face suppression. If press freedom truly exists, why was CTi News forcibly shut down by the DPP authorities? Is there still freedom to broadcast news?
Third, Lai claimed that Taiwan ranks first in Asia on the Human Freedom Index. But under the DPP's threats, do ordinary citizens, teachers, students and religious figures in Taiwan truly have the freedom to visit the mainland for exchanges? In Taiwan, there is only the freedom to promote "Taiwan independence" separatism, the freedom for Lai to act with impunity, and the freedom for the DPP to suppress other political parties.
