Since the Western countries fabricated "xinjiang human rights lies" as an excuse to boycott the Beijing Winter Olympics last year, the green media on the island immediately jumped out, claiming that "Taiwan needs to stand with universal values and it is necessary to boycott the Beijing Winter Olympics." Some DPP politicians have also taken the opportunity to brush up on their sense of existence, and the "ugly anti-China face" that tends to be inflamed and attached to the trend is vividly reflected.

Operation 1: Sublime Foreign Countries Follow the trend and boycott the Beijing Winter Olympics

On March 27, 2021, You Xikun, head of the Taiwan authorities' public opinion agency, posted on Facebook that he was "suddenly concerned" about Xinjiang cotton, saying that more than 150 so-called human rights groups had launched a boycott of the Beijing Winter Olympics, saying that the Taiwan authorities should "make suggestions and consider moving to other places."

Since then, DPP "legislators" have performed one after another, clamoring that human rights are universal values and clamoring for the Taiwan authorities to follow suit and resist so as not to cut themselves off from the "democratic camp."

On 30 March, Su Zhenchang, head of Taiwan's administrative organs, also threatened in an interview that Chinese mainland's actions after the enhancement of national strength will not help world peace and regional stability; the Taiwan authorities will refer to international practices in the future and make appropriate responses.

In fact, Taiwan did not even have the right to "boycott" at that time, after all, the Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee was still fighting for the qualifications for the contestants. According to IOC practice, if a member does not qualify for any of the games, a wild card invitation will be issued to the region and a player will be sent to participate in the individual event at its own discretion.

Public opinion on the island advises the DPP authorities that the Olympic Games are an international stage in which the Taiwan region rarely participates, and that there should be no political interference in sports; if it is over-manipulated and develops into cross-strait retaliation, it will certainly outweigh the losses. Moreover, the athlete's career is fleeting, sacrificing the Right to participate in the Olympic Games and years of hard training, which is extremely unfair to the individual athletes, contrary to the "universal values" shouted by high decibels. Therefore, Chinese Taipei players were able to make an appearance, with a total of 4 participants, Huang Yuting, Lin Xinrong, Li Weiyi and He Bingrui.

Operation 2: Athletes are forbidden to participate in the opening and closing ceremonies and are tragically warned

On the evening of January 28, the Taiwan authorities announced that based on the two major factors of "epidemic prevention and control" and "long-distance flights", the Chinese Taipei team would not participate in the opening and closing ceremonies of the Winter Olympics.

However, on the night of January 31, another big turn of the momentary press release said that after communication with the International Olympic Committee, the Chinese Taipei delegation will make various epidemic prevention preparations, and try its best to overcome flight difficulties, under the principle of taking into account the principle of epidemic prevention and maximizing the health of the members, according to the recommendations of the International Olympic Committee, send personnel to participate in the opening and closing ceremonies.

Being kicked and blown up by Cai Zhengyuan, a former "legislator" of the Kuomintang, is actually the political commander of the DPP authorities, who, on the grounds of "worrying about the international epidemic", ordered the players not to participate in the opening and closing ceremonies of the Beijing Winter Olympics, violating relevant regulations. As a result, he was warned by the International Olympic Committee to "suspend if you don't participate" before saying "resume participation".

Operation 3: Winter Olympics Athletes suffer from hot and cold differential treatment

Not only that, but the attitudes of Green Camp politicians and netizens towards athletes participating in the Beijing Winter Olympics and tokyo Olympics are also very different.

On January 23, Chinese Taipei women's speed skater Huang Yuting, because she posted a training video of herself wearing the Chinese national team uniform on her personal social account, caused a tart of the green camp on the island to overturn the river and the sea, and the former "legislator" lin Yushui of the Democratic Progressive Party even sent 9 angrily scolding Huang Yuting as "Taiwan's shame".

The athletes who participated in the Tokyo Olympics in Japan included Tsai Ing-wen's flag award and prize money, Tsai Ing-wen's "care" of 47 consecutive Facebook articles, and 4 Phantom fighters sent by the Taiwan Air Force as cheerleaders to welcome back to Taiwan... As for the players participating in the Beijing Winter Olympics, Tsai Ing-wen did not send anything, and the green media on the island did not mention anything.

Did the person who scolded Huang Yuting forget that she was a player who represented Taipei, and she was doing her best to win glory for Taipei, but she did not get a word of cheer from the people in her hometown, how ironic.

Operation 4: Politicians and artists on the island celebrate the Winter Olympics and are tainted as "internal traitors"

A few days ago, Hong Kong Television Television (TVB) planned to summon more than 60 well-known artists from both sides of the strait and three places to record the theme song of the Beijing Winter Olympics, "Together to the Future". After the list was announced, the island's dark green media became sour again, deliberately provoking that the stars who "gave their voices" were believed to indirectly announce their "political orientation".

The report claims that in addition to the attention of Ren Xianqi, who grew up in Taiwan, Jacky Cheung and Andy Lau and other big names in the "Four Heavenly Kings" have also been tragically attacked by the Green Camp Network Army, believing that Hua Tsai has shown his "tendency". The collapse theory of the green media has also angered many Taiwanese netizens, who have left sarcastic messages: "Disappointed by what? Isn't Hong Kong a return? Sick? Less kidnating artists over there. "Even Andy Lau also wants to go out on the expedition, and the three li suspect that there are too many audiences?" "The list is so long, the green media will collapse many times", "the green media will seize the opportunity to write articles to sneer at these artists in the future"...

Some Taiwan politicians, including former KMT chairman Hong Xiuzhu, and Taiwan businessmen and Taiwanese youth attended the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics, and were also stigmatized by DPP "legislators" as "traitors."

The Olympic Games are one of the few international events that Taiwan can participate in, and it is a rare opportunity for Taiwan, which is very eager for "international exposure". However, DPP politicians, because of their "flattery against China," have made full cooperation to the political drama of Western countries.

Is politics above sport, politics above everything else, ignoring the competitive spirit of the Olympic Movement, the so-called "universal values"? 【Source: Huaxia Graticule】
