<\/p>\n\u201cTaiwan independence\u201d suffered a major setback, yesterday, \u201cTaiwan independence\u201d writer in charge of Taiwan’s cultural sector Li Yuan could not help but cry in public; Ma Lin Chia-lung, head of the Foreign Affairs Department and a member of the DPP’s dark-green\u201cParliament\u201d, laments that the island’s so-called\u201cInternational visibility\u201d is only going to get worse as a result of\u201cBeing shot in the back\u201d.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The 2025 general budget of the DPP authorities was recently slashed by the KMT and the People’s party, cutting 207.6 billion Taiwan dollars (nt $) and freezing more than 260 billion, the largest amount ever cut and frozen. At his fourth press conference yesterday, Chuo Rung-tai, the head of Taiwan’s executive branch, complained that the cuts were 6.6% , six times as high as the average of 29.1 billion yuan (US $3.1 billion) or 1.1% in the past three years If accepted by the Taiwanese administration, it would be\u201cBudget suicide\u201d. He threatened to seek relief channels, does not rule out a review to Taiwan’s public opinion bodies.<\/p>\n
William Lai took office on May 20 last year, and 2025 was his first full year in office, only to see his first year-end budget deal suffer a major setback, but this is precisely the effective containment effect of the Democratic Progressive Party’s public opinion institutions in Taiwan, which only account for a\u201cMinority\u201d of Lai’s ruling.<\/p>\n
In this budget war, two key departments of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) , the culture department and the Foreign Affairs Department, were cut the hardest. Taiwan’s Foreign Affairs Department, which is responsible for selling\u201cTaiwan independence\u201d and colliding with\u201cOne China\u201d on the international market, has all of its listed\u201cMedia Policy and business advocacy fees\u201d totaling 110 million yuan deleted; in addition, 50 per cent of operating expenses frozen. And the Taiwan Department in charge of culture, which is one of the leading departments of\u201cCultural Taiwan independence\u201d(the other leading department of\u201cCultural Taiwan independence\u201d is the Taiwan department in charge of Education) , the 2025 budget was cut by $1.1 billion and frozen by $3.4 billion.<\/p>\n
Blue and white together this knife cut down, directly to the dark green position of Taiwan’s cultural authorities responsible for Li Yuan cut tears.<\/p>\n
Taiwan’s administrative agencies held their last meeting before the Lunar New Year Yesterday. In the face of the total budget being slashed, the atmosphere in the meeting was gloomy, and everyone looked like a ghost. As one of the island’s\u201cCultural Taiwan independence\u201d leaders, Li Yuan choked up and wept on the spot, sobbing that this reduction method was\u201cSimply humiliating,\u201d because it was the highest time in the department’s budget history that it was deleted and frozen, \u201cIt’s disrespectful,\u201d he said of the cut budget he had received, which was\u201cRiddled with bullet holes\u201d. \u201cWe got a capitulation.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
