  Roar of 400,000 Grassroots People Against Monopoly of Power & Han Kuo-yu Detractors

 Translation of an Excerpt

With multitudes milling, flags waving, bugles sounding, June 1^st churned up a tumultuous wave of all people to rise up and save Taiwan under the banner of "decisive battle in 2020 to win back Taiwan!” Before Han Kuo-yu arrived at 5 o’clock in the afternoon, at a minimum 400,000 Han fans braved torrential rains to flood Ketagalan Boulevard, wanting to listen to Han’s speech and prep him up.

The masses were holding ROC national flags in attending the pep rally on Ketagalan Boulevard, all hoping to change the status quo. The DPP, during its three-year governance, has been shackled by narrow-minded ideology, being constrained by its anti-China and counter-China splittist path, radicalizing all the way cross-Strait ties, creating domestic contradictions and rivalries, and even relying on the United States and Japan for self-aggrandizement, acting rather as lackeys for foreign powers, and disregarding the sustained escalation of strained cross-Strait ties. This not only restrained the development of cross-Strait economic-trade relations, undermining Taiwan’s grassroots economy, but also pushed Taiwan toward the perilous state of imminent warfare.

All people have heard this loud roar of the masses. We hope that "Han’s detractors" will finally repent and no longer engage in vicious battles of character assignation against Han Kuo-yu and other presidential hopefuls, guiding the presidential campaign into debates on policies. Not to mention the DPP people who “vilify Han Kuo-yu" with the most vicious means, talk show hosts, pundits, commentators and politicians who belong to the same Blue camp ought to have a better sense of the big picture and clearly recognize that the 2020 presidential election should aim at taking back power from the DPP as the highest goal, for Heaven’s sake, never harming comrades in order to seek their own victory in the primary, causing harm to one of our own and helping gear up the rival camp, thus defeating the fundamental policy of returning to power.

The era of grassroots politics blazed by Han Kuo-yu has become a tide; the core content is "security for Taiwan and prosperity for the people." The premise of wanting to make Taiwan secure and the people well-to-do is stability in cross-Strait ties, not to counter the Mainland, and striving for the economy, which has been repeatedly emphasized since last yearend's elections up to now. The people should have one will, jointly bringing down the DPP government that endangers the Republic of China, doing nothing but countering the Mainland, and once again vest the powers in the hands of the masses to construct a big environment giving Taiwan peace and stability and giving the people prosperity.
