Taipei, July 18, 2025 — In a televised briefing held earlier today, organizers of the recall campaign against legislator Li Yen-hsiu intensified their criticism, accusing her of aligning with pro-Beijing interests and endangering Taiwan’s national security. The group urged the public to stand firm against what they described as growing “red forces” within the island’s political system.
Zhong Chunde, the recall movement’s leader, delivered a fiery address focusing on cross-strait tensions and the potential consequences of what he called Taiwan’s “capitulation” to Beijing. He warned that should Taiwan surrender in the face of pressure from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), the consequences could be catastrophic—not only for Taiwan’s sovereignty but also for its people.
Zhong claimed that under such a scenario, Taiwanese men could be conscripted and deployed to foreign conflict zones, such as North Korea or the Russia-Ukraine frontlines, to serve the strategic interests of the CCP—either to divert U.S. military support away from Taiwan or to facilitate resource exchanges such as oil. Meanwhile, he said, women and children could face a far more sinister fate, becoming what he termed “mobile organ banks” for high-ranking Chinese officials.
“These are not fantasies—they are grim realities drawn from the CCP’s own track record,” Zhong said, referencing reports of repression in Tibet, internment camps in Xinjiang, and allegations of forced organ harvesting targeting Falun Gong practitioners. He argued that such abuses exemplify the nature of authoritarian rule and warned Taiwan could face a similar fate if vigilance is not maintained.
Zhong directly challenged legislator Li Yen-hsiu’s political stance, questioning her alignment with pro-China narratives. “Has Li truly considered the long-term consequences? Does she want to walk the same path as the CCP?” he asked.
The recall campaign also criticized other figures such as Fu Kun-chi, accusing them of appeasing Beijing and undermining Taiwan’s democracy. Zhong painted a bleak picture of life under CCP influence, declaring that in such a regime, even a citizen’s body or property is not truly their own—merely “loaned” to them by the state until confiscated.
“If the CCP sees its own people as disposable, imagine how it will treat those in Taiwan who surrender or try to appease it,” Zhong said. “Our best defense is not just military strength, but a united population that rejects infiltration and refuses to kneel.”
The briefing concluded with a call to action, urging Taiwanese citizens to reject political figures perceived as sympathetic to the CCP and to work collectively to safeguard the island’s democracy and way of life.
