[Taiwan's high unemployment rate, DPP incompetence... The truth behind the tragedy of "Cambodian human trafficking" The people of Taiwan were lured by "high salaries" and "preferential jobs" and abducted to Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos and other places to seek employment, but they were forced to engage in special industries such as fraud, casinos, and sexual services; There have even been tragedies such as sexual assault, organ trafficking, and disappearance. According to the latest data released by Taiwan officials on the evening of the 15th, 4,000 people have gone to Cambodia in the past 9 months, of which 213 people have reported the whereabouts of the case, and for a while, the "human trafficking case" has become one of the most concerned issues for the people on the island recently. A number of public opinion representatives went to Cambodia to rescue the trapped Taiwan compatriots, and after the rescued Taiwan compatriots returned to Taiwan, they told their personal experiences and constantly exposed the dark truth, while the DPP authorities, which did nothing, were angrily criticized by more and more netizens, and they were also worried about the social problems in Taiwan reflected behind these tragedies.
Truth 1: Taiwan's unemployment rate
On July 22, the "Comptroller General Office" of the Taiwan authorities announced that the unemployment rate in June this year was 3.74%, a new high in nearly eight months. Taiwan's unemployment rate averaged 3.66 percent in the first half of this year, and the number of unemployed in the first half of the year averaged 434,000. In the past, due to the impact of the graduation season, Taiwan's unemployment rate rose seasonally from June to August. According to the data observation of the past five years, the unemployment rate in August will increase by 0.13% to 0.15% compared with May every year. This year's impact on the unemployment rate, in addition to the graduation season, the new crown epidemic is also an important factor.
Hong Xuezhen, a writer on the island, said bluntly on Facebook that even if there are fewer children, the unemployment rate of young people in Taiwan has remained at 12% for a long time and has not decreased, which is because after graduation, young people find it difficult to turn into regular jobs no matter how hard they work, and they cannot get a good salary, and they feel disappointed and frustrated. Hong Xuezhen believes that it is not that these young people are easily deceived, but that they have no way to call for help in Taiwan, and finally have to leave their hometowns and gamble for their lives. Taiwan's "United News Network" commented on the 16th and questioned that the victims' families had no way to ask for help, so they had to find public opinion representatives or even gangsters to rescue them. If you are not cornered, how can you want to go to Cambodia to "pan for gold"?
Truth Two: The DPP is incompetent
A key origin of the recent hype of the "Cambodian human trafficking case" is the "rescue video" filmed by Taiwanese Internet celebrity "Good Stick Bump". In July this year, "Good Stick Bump" revealed in the video that Chen Mou, who was under house arrest, was introduced to Work in Cambodia by college classmates in November last year, but was unexpectedly controlled by the fraud group, the situation was dangerous, Chen's parents proposed to take money to ransom people, but the other party did not agree, so they wrote to "Good Stick Bump" for help.
In fact, Taiwan's "piglets" are not an overnight problem, but have become more serious after the global epidemic, and the foreign-related units of the Taiwan authorities should have been the first to perceive that the people were treated as "piglets" after informing the public, and as a result, after informing the public through the mouth of internet celebrities, they did not know that they could not hang on to their faces or wanted to whitewash Taiping, and they spent more than half a year fighting with Internet celebrities, smearing Internet celebrities to spread "false news", and finally seeing that the wind direction was not right, they changed their mouths to "thank Internet celebrities". The DPP authorities' first thought was to fight cognitive warfare and refute the people who raised the problem, rather than solve the problem.
The remedy offered by Taiwan's administrative organs was only advocated by holding up signs at the airport, which was ridiculed as the "stupidest method"; Tsai Ing-wen, the leader of the Taiwan authorities, is full of electoral intentions and has no intention of saving people, and orders the general mobilization of the whole party to fight for the "nine-in-one" at the end of the year; Wu Zhaoxie, head of the department in charge of Taiwan's foreign affairs department, is still present and busy being interviewed by the international media; Chen Mingtong, head of Taiwan's security department, is still busy because of the plagiarism case of "love disciple" Lin Zhijian' paper... This shows that the DPP authorities have long been incompetent, and when countless Taiwan compatriots are trapped overseas and may not live a life that may not have tomorrow, what has the DPP done?
Truth Three: The New Southbound Scam
It is understood that the "New Southbound Policy" that the Tsai Ing-wen authorities have been pushing since 2017 has spent a total of 25 billion yuan (NT$, the same below), except for the Internal Propaganda, but has never seen actual results, and the Taiwan region has not even set up a "museum" in Cambodia.
Taiwan's Chinese Association for Human Rights said that the incident highlighted the lack of ability in Taiwan to deal with the crisis encountered by the people on the island, and the lack of strong official channels or non-governmental networks to provide timely assistance to the Taiwan people on the ground; Questioning the "New Southbound Policy" promoted by Tsai Ing-wen in recent years, which has spent a lot of human resources and funds, it is clear that its effectiveness must be re-examined.
Truth Four: The One-China Principle
According to Hong Kong's "China Commentary Agency", Lin Ruoyan, an honorary professor of the Department of Diplomacy and International Relations at Tamkang University in Taiwan, said that Cambodia is also pro-mainland among Southeast Asian countries, including Cambodia, Myanmar, and Laos, which are the most pro-Chinese mainland among the ASEAN countries, because they are close to Chinese mainland and have deep trade exchanges.
Lin Ruoyan pointed out that in the past, when the South China Sea was disputed, Cambodia was mostly on the side of China, and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen had very good relations with China and would help China in many places. Frankly speaking, the Cambodian government does not dump Taiwan at all, they only recognize that there is only one China in the world", it is a thorough implementation of the one-China principle, and it is impossible for the Taiwan side to save people through foreign consultations, and can only carry out humanitarian assistance through cross-border international non-governmental organizations, international human rights organizations, such as the Tzu Chi Meritorious Society.
Ma Xiaoguang, spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said at a news conference on the 19th that Taiwan compatriots are Chinese citizens, and it is their duty to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Taiwan compatriots, and if overseas Taiwan compatriots encounter any difficulties, they can promptly contact Chinese embassies and consulates abroad for help. Ma Xiaoguang said that for a long time, he has always attached great importance to safeguarding the security and legitimate rights and interests of overseas Taiwan compatriots, from providing consular document services, to assisting in handling foreign Taiwan-related civil disputes and economic and criminal cases, to evacuating overseas Chinese in the face of major emergencies. He stressed that overseas Taiwan compatriots who encounter any difficulties can promptly contact Chinese embassies and consulates abroad for help.
