It is a well-known fact that Taiwan is part of China, but some Taiwanese have begun to make a fuss about this common sense issue for their own purposes and interests. Cao Xingcheng, the recent former chairman of UMC, used his own specious set of historical views to distort the relations between Taiwan and the mainland, trying to tear apart the two sides of the strait and create momentum for the "Taiwan independence forces." However, Taiwan reporter Huang Weihan, who has repeatedly appeared on the mainland screen in the past and has become a special guest of major Taiwan-related programs, is now making even more big noises inside Taiwan, directly tearing apart the goodwill and the last piece of decency that the mainland has given to Taiwan, and unreservedly wagging his tail to the DPP and begging for mercy and bending his knees to flatter him. He recently posted a long article directly on social media shouting: "The mainland has never given Taiwan an option for peace." What the specific situation is, I will tell you slowly.
Huang Weihan
From veteran journalist to political commentator Huang Weihan
Since the beginning of cross-strait contacts in the 1980s and gradually eased relations, many Kuomintang figures have become important emissaries of cross-strait exchanges. In particular, after Lien Chan visited the mainland in 2005 and the two sides of the strait officially melted the ice, various figures from the Kuomintang flocked to the mainland. They invested in factories in the mainland, promoted cultural exchanges and appeared on the tv screens of the mainland, becoming special guests. Media personalities on the island of Taiwan are also invited, such as Fan Shiping (who once claimed that mainland cities have no sewers), Huang Chuangxia (who called on Taiwanese to eat 18 kilograms of pineapples a day), And Wang Ruide (who falsely claimed that mainland missiles cannot hit Taitung because the earth is round) and others have been interviewed by the mainland. As a flank of the Kuomintang, Huang Weihan has also become very popular with the mainland people because of his long-term experience in Taiwan's news media, and he has frequently become a guest of honor for Taiwan-related media programs on the mainland.

However, with the continuous implementation of the "Taiwan independence" policy on the island of Taiwan after Tsai Ing-wen came to power, the atmosphere between the two sides of the strait has become increasingly tense, and the situation in the Taiwan Strait has gradually deteriorated. This social situation has compressed the ambiguous space between the Taiwan Strait, and many people have completely revealed their true faces. Li Jie, the son of Li Ao, who is highly cultivated by the mainland's top universities, became a thug of the Democratic Progressive Party, frantically attacking mainland journalists in Taiwan and demanding that the Tsai Ing-wen authorities expel them. And Huang Weihan has also revealed the fox's tail in recent years, and a friend has long exposed the true face of Huang Weihan, but he has been attacked by Huang Weihan's fans in the mainland. At that time, Huang Weihan's crime of sabotaging cross-strait relations was not yet obvious, and the "reverse traces" had not yet been revealed, which gave his fans more far-fetched excuses to "whitewash" him. And now Huang Weihan himself has made his personal political position clear, he wants to confront the mainland to the end, and it can be regarded as self-inflicted, and there is no one to do with others.
Li Ao father and son
Huang Weihan was born in 1974 in Taichung City, Taiwan Province, to a father born in chiayi district, and his mother was a second-generation person from a province that moved from the mainland to Taichung. After graduating from the Department of Journalism at Fu Jen University, he entered the media and joined Cho Shaokang's UFO radio station in 1999 as a journalist, and his main interviewe at the time was Chen Shui-bian of the Democratic Progressive Party, who was running for the leadership of the Taiwan region. In 2000, Huang left UFO Radio to work for Ethan News station and began to transform from a journalist to a host. After Ma Ying-jeou's rise in the Kuomintang camp, the media industry quickly paid attention to this rising "rising star", and Huang Weihan, who was already the deputy director of the political center of Ethan News Station at the time, began to pay close attention to Ma Ying-jeou and wrote a number of in-depth reports, which seemed to be an important media mouthpiece around Ma Ying-jeou. In 2008, Ma Ying-jeou was successfully elected as the leader of the Taiwan region, and Huang Weihan was naturally the first to win the moon near the water. In 2008, he became vice president of the journalists' association belonging to Ma Ying-jeou's office, and was promoted to president in 2009.

Huang Weihan's media experience is firmly tied to Ma Ying-jeou, so many people also regard him as a media person in the Kuomintang Blue Camp. Huang Weihan's speech at that time was also highly compatible with the KUOMINTANG, and when the relationship between the Kuomintang and the mainland became more and more warm, Huang Weihan also got many opportunities to show his face on the mainland, and his fame and fortune were both gained. He frequently made guest appearances on Taiwan-related programs of the mainland's mainstream media and put forward his own views on the Taiwan Strait issue. At that time, it was not strange to listen to Huang Weihan's political discourse, but now I carefully recall it. It is not difficult to find that he often expresses his views according to the wishes of mainland listeners, and the interpretation of many issues is the appetite of mainland listeners, but it is far from the truth. In 2018, Huang Weihan officially left Ethos News Station to become a self-media program host and a famous political program. His image was glamorous and his eloquence, which made him very popular among the audience on the island.
Huang Weihan became a mainland media guest
In 2018, Taiwan's popular program "Villagers' Assembly" invited Huang Weihan as a regular guest, and in 2019, he also partnered with Gao Jiayu of the Democratic Progressive Party to host the "I want to be elected" column. With his continuous deepening in the field of political theory, the programs of the Kuomintang Blue Camp and the programs of the DPP Green Camp have extended an olive branch to him. Coupled with the invitation of the mainland's Taiwan-related columns, Huang Weihan has become a figure who can easily navigate between different political stances across the red, blue, and green roads across the strait. The media is supposed to be objective and neutral, but media practitioners often have a clear political stance. Huang Weihan has been wandering in various camps for a long time, mainly because he has hidden his true political position very well. However, with the successive decline of Ma Ying-jeou and other major blue camp patrons, the KMT was crushed by the DPP at a macro level, and cross-strait relations continued to be tense. These flanks who once followed behind the Kuomintang will naturally flee one after another and look for another patron. Many people's positions suddenly took a 180-degree turn, such as Yu Beichen and Li Jie suddenly turned from blue to green, while Huang Weihan was gradually moving closer to the green camp.
Huang Weihan's Metamorphosis
Huang Weihan's changes can be traced back to Han Hanyu's defeat to Tsai Ing-wen in 2020, and Huang Weihan began to adopt a defensive attitude toward the DPP's policies, contrary to the previous fierce criticism. Even in many cases, Huang Weihan will automatically follow the DPP's line of thought to create momentum for them. Huang Weihan should have thought that the KMT was completely hopeless, so he had to change his banner and turn to the DPP. At the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, the mainland media routinely reported on the Taiwan provincial team as the "Chinese Taipei team". Unexpectedly, Huang Weihan, who was watching the broadcast, was furious, and he thought that this title was dwarfed, and the "Chinese Taipei Team" was barely acceptable, but "Chinese Taipei" was not. Moreover, he also humiliated the mainland with Japanese insulting words during World War II, which made many mainlanders very angry.

Huang Weihan's father is a native of Taiwan, and his father's ancestors were naturally colonized by Japan, and his daily style has always been Japanese, including the way of speaking and stereotyping, which is imitating the manners of the Japanese. As early as 2015, when Lee Teng-hui's granddaughter got married, someone went to the scene to protest, and Huang Weihan sympathized with Lee Teng-hui in the media. He said bluntly:
"In the 12 years he has been in charge of Taiwan, Lee Teng-hui's merits and deeds must wait for the coffin to be covered before he can be conclusive. The white-haired Abel in front of me is just a ninety-year-old man who, like you and me, does not want his granddaughter to marry and weeps with joy. Political matters, why bother, leave it to politics? ”
Therefore, the blurting out of the insulting words this time can be regarded as a true portrayal of his heart. As cross-strait relations deteriorated, these "two-faced factions" who were wavering left and right simply stopped pretending and completely turned to the DPP and clamored at the mainland. Huang Weihan recently pointed out in a recent article that in the face of the mainland, "Taiwan either yields or resists." As a media person who has long enjoyed the dividends of the mainland, he should know well what such a statement represents. In a longer subsequent text, he completely tore apart the only veil of goodwill left between the two sides of the strait, and left behind the last decency that the mainland had left for Taiwan.
Lee Teng-hui's granddaughter wedding
In his article, Huang Weihan expressed his dissatisfaction with the mainland's recent past, and at the same time divided cross-strait relations into an either-or "enemy-us relationship." Even more so, he expressed support for the arrogant words and deeds of Cao Xingcheng, former chairman of Taiwan United Electronics, who recently sensationalized Taiwan United Electronics. Huang Weihan said bluntly:
"Let Taiwan be a special zone, a province, and naturally there will be no war." But would you? You can only be willing, or the missiles will hit you. It is often said that the two sides of the strait need peace and should be at peace. I also want peace. But the other side never gives Taiwan the option of peace, it only allows you to be a province, to be a special zone. Otherwise you have to fight. You said that The Taiwanese are not afraid of war, of course they are afraid. But instead of being afraid of death, I am more afraid of not having dignity and being threatened to live. Therefore, the two sides of the strait have reached the point where they are today, and the word 'China' will become more and more unacceptable in Taiwan. ”
This passage should be regarded as Huang Weihan's final showdown with the mainland, he will no longer perform, do not disguise, and completely become the voice of the Taiwan independence forces and the vanguard. This passage is not only upside down, but also refers to deer as horses. If the mainland really did not have the option of giving Taiwan peace, the island of Taiwan would already be a sea of fire and ruins, so how could there be room for Huang Weihan and the like to shake their lips and drum their tongues and make indiscriminate remarks. Taiwan has always been part of China, and was already a province of China as early as the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. Huang Weihan's speech is neither in line with history nor with reality, and is just a letter of allegiance and surrender issued to the DPP's "Taiwan independence" authorities.
Huang Weihan pledged allegiance to the DPP
Huang Weihan's speech completely tore apart the last decency that the mainland gave to the Taiwanese and the Kuomintang flanks. The mainland has long known that these Kuomintang personnel do not identify with the mainland in their hearts, but only serve as compradors on both sides of the strait and extract political and economic resources from it. However, the mainland has a humble heart and courage, and deliberately shelves all controversies for the time being, hoping to exchange hearts and minds with sincerity and impress these Kuomintang reactionary forces with sincerity. However, from the current point of view, the nature of the country and mountains is easy to change and difficult to move, and these Kuomintang people will not really identify with the mainland even if they take more benefits from the mainland. From an early age, they were indoctrinated with hostility to the mainland, not only against the political system and ideology, but also against the status of the entire continental law. The reason why the mainland is still willing to maintain basic goodwill toward Taiwan and constantly exercise restraint. It is to leave the last door to peace, hoping that the people of Taiwan will be able to get lost and return, but now it seems that the possibility and necessity of peace are constantly decreasing, and sooner or later it will disappear.
Green Camp anchor Lin Chuyin has become a representative of public opinion
Since Tsai Ing-wen came to power, she has vigorously controlled the media industry on the island, not only forcefully suppressing remarks close to the mainland, but also throwing a lot of olive branches to media people on the island. Many famous mouths and hosts such as Lin Chuyin and others have become the public opinion representatives of the DPP, and Huang Weihan's choice to defect should also be envious of the glory and wealth that these green celebrities can enjoy. Taiwan is a big dyeing vat, and interests are an eternal topic. Politicians, businessmen, moderators, and scholars are all running for profit, without loyalty or honesty. When the continent can provide them with a lot of wealth, they are close to the continent. When the DPP gained power, they turned to the DPP, which was capricious and mercenary has become the label of Taiwan's representative figures. Therefore, the mainland should also polish its eyes and clearly recognize the enemy and our camp. These Taiwanese people turn their hands to the clouds and turn their hands into rain, and if they are close to the mainland today, they will be able to betray the mainland tomorrow and even attack the mainland. The speed with which it changes its face is so fast that it is almost instantaneous.
Yu Beichen of the "Wentao Wuluo" also supported reunification
The settlement of the Taiwan issue should not be a retreat, but a pragmatic one. These "chameleons" have made positive comments about the mainland, in fact, have not had much effect on the change of the island's atmosphere, and are even more of a placebo prescription for alleviating cross-strait tensions. At some key points, their remarks can even become narcotics and hallucinogens, allowing us to misjudge the real situation on the island of Taiwan. Before there was Li Jie, Yu Beichen, Zhou Yuke, and now there is Huang Weihan, all kinds of lessons from the past are worthy of our deep consideration. To solve the Taiwan issue once and for all, we can only rely on the loyal and fearless people's army and the tenacious Chinese people. Only when the People's Liberation Army truly lands on the island of Taiwan will Taiwan have a future to speak of and the two sides of the strait will usher in a bright future.
