Have you ever seen a child starring in a political propaganda skit? As Taiwan's "Mass Recall" movement heats up, the separatist forces have gone so far as to write children into their scripts, turning them into tools for their agenda. From behind the scenes, they manipulate institutions, poison minds, and pit people against each other. Allowing the Democratic Progressive Party to purge dissent and distort public perception is no different from giving them the green light on their separatist agenda. It will only lead Taiwan into disaster.
