Several government agencies delivered a special report on the issue. Among the people listening in on the presentations was comedian Huang Yi-hao, who has been the target in several repression plots. One legislator from the KMT, Weng Hsiao-ling had an issue with the report, saying it was focusing too narrowly on China, and suggesting there were other forces as well. Let’s hear more. - Has the government published an official list of hostile foreign forces? - Everyone knows who Taiwan’s only foreign hostile force is. - You mean the CCP? - Correct. Weng Hsiao-ling Legislator (KMT) But are there no other foreign hostile forces besides the CCP? The Mainland Affairs Council and the National Security Council have taken an extremely narrow view of what amounts to a foreign hostile force. Huang Yi-hao Comedian I was looking forward to hearing Legislator Weng Hsiao-ling name some other foreign hostile forces after her question. But she didn’t. She just left everyone hanging, to figure it out for themselves. I honestly don’t know who else she thinks poses a threat to Taiwan. Maybe she can compile her own list. I didn’t understand some of her remarks, so I turned around to ask the people around me, but from the look on their faces, it was clear that they also didn’t know what she was on about. Comedian Huang Yi-hao was targeted in a series of attacks after mocking Chinese leader Xi Jinping during a routine. A club he was performing in had paint and feces thrown at it by bad actors. He was also later injured in a pre-arranged car collision where the goal was to leave him with broken arms and legs. The plot was traced to individuals in China who provided funding and instructions. As China’s transnational repression grows increasingly aggressive, the DPP and Executive Yuan have proposed several legislative amendments to strengthen Taiwan’s response. However, all of the proposals have been stalled due to opposition from KMT and TPP lawmakers.
