Panelists talk CCP meddling in 2024 election
Panelists talk CCP meddling in 2024 election
2023-05-30
China has already begun to interfere in Taiwan’s 2024 election, scholars say. At a panelist discussion hosted by the DPP, experts said China was attempting to influence the outcome, favoring candidates who would be compliant to Beijing. The panelists warned Taiwan’s political parties not to be become pawns in China’s unification agenda.

Just now the moderator said that it’s “possible” – I think we can remove the word “possible” and replace it with “it’s certain.” The CCP is interfering with Taiwan’s democratic election, and it’s not a question of if, but how.
The DPP’s China affairs department held a panel discussion on cross-strait variables that may affect the coming election. According to Professor Tung Li-wen, the CCP’s objective is to ensure that the most compliant candidates get elected.

Hou Yu-ih stands for nothing, not war, not peace, and not defense. Ko Wen-je’s cross-strait policy is plagiarized and then distorted. Bonnie Glaser said the CCP prefers Ko, which is true, but the true goal of the CCP is to bring about a Gou-Ko alliance, because the CCP knows that Ko Wen-je alone cannot win.
The panel event drew a crowd of young people, including high school students, who were eager to ask questions. They asked how to avoid the influence of cognitive warfare in an era of information overload.

Whichever politician is particularly entertaining or has a silver tongue – even if they indiscriminately manipulate the issues, they get votes. Of course we are not saying that the DPP should follow suit and become a jester like other political parties. We still need to fight a war that’s based on policy.

“U.S. skepticism” or “anti-Americanism” consists of three parts: One, China is a great power. Two, Taiwan would lose a war. Three, the U.S. would run. The conclusion is that Taiwan should surrender. Don’t be the one who opens the door to Chinese annexation of Taiwan. We’re echoing what Chairman Lai Ching-te said, that the essence of cross-strait conflict is the confrontation between democracy and autocracy.
Scholars said the CCP was working to fuel suspicion toward the U.S. and to fracture Taiwanese identity. They urged candidates in the coming election not to open the door for unification.

藍綠白總統參選人一一出爐，民進黨中國部也舉辦「2024總統大選的兩岸因素」座談會中，學者就直言，中共早在介入台灣2024大選，而且試圖抹黑、醜化台灣民主，希望影響大選，讓最聽中共話的人當選，更提醒各陣營「不要變成中共統一的開門人」。

“剛才主持人說可能啦，那個可能兩個字全部去掉，是"一定"，中共介入台灣民主選舉，不是會不會的問題，而是什麼方式”
民進黨中國事務部辦座談會，談兩岸因素如何影響選舉。董立文分析，中共的目標，是讓最聽他們話的人當選。

“侯友宜什麼都不做，不戰、不和、不守，柯文哲兩岸政策的主張，抄襲變造，葛來儀說中共比較喜歡柯文哲，是對的，可是中共真正的目的是要促成郭柯配，因為中共知道，單靠柯文哲是不會贏的”
而這回座談會，更有不少年輕人，甚至高中生來討論、發問，也好奇，資訊爆炸時代，如何避免被認知作戰影響。

“哪一個政治人物特別娛樂化，特別會講話，即便那個議題操作是不分青紅皂白的，他就有票，當然我們不是說什麼，民進黨也應該隨著其他政黨一樣去當一個跳梁小丑，還是應該打政策戰”

“疑美論或反美論的方程式，一、中國一定強，二、台灣一定敗，三、美國一定跑，結論就是台灣要投降，不要成為中共統一台灣的開門人，呼應賴清德主席說的那句話，兩岸衝突的本質，是民主與專制的對抗”
中共動作頻頻，試圖以疑美論，挑撥「台灣認同」，學者呼籲各陣營候選人，可別成為中共統一的「開門人」。
