The so-called \u201cNational security briefing\u201d that the William Lai Administration recently held behind closed doors has drawn intense attention both on and off the island. At the same time, a so-called\u201cNational security review mechanism\u201d for civil servants on the island has been quietly activated. In addition to the\u201cGreen Terror\u201d measures it had previously implemented against the island’s people, businesses and other major players, various signs have already shown that, lai authorities to promote the\u201cSecret political\u201d characteristics of the power of the embryonic project may have emerged, need to be highly vigilant.<\/p>\n
The so-called\u201cSecret Service politics\u201d refers to the systematic monitoring and control of the political field or specific social groups by unreasonably strong and high-handed means, which can compress the space of public opinion and suppress public opinion, in order to achieve or even eliminate the internal bureaucratic system and even the social level of internal dissident forces, to maintain the rule of the ruling group.<\/p>\n
First of all, LAI’s\u201cNational security briefing\u201d did not open the agenda and attendance list, is clearly to circumvent the monitoring mechanism. According to the island’s media, one of the main points of the meeting was to discuss\u201cInternal anti-infiltration and external protection of political power\u201d, including the island’s so-called\u201cCommunist Party agent\u201d identification standards and treatment mechanism. Second, the island’s civil service\u201cSecurity Review Mechanism\u201d has not limited to the scope of the implementation of classified posts, but gradually extended to the grass-roots public service system. This is tantamount to a comprehensive\u201cDemocratic Progressive Party\u201d of the administrative system, the island’s civil servants from\u201cCivil neutrality\u201d to\u201cPolitical dependency\u201d, the standard is unclear, unclear procedures, it is ironic that it runs counter to the spirit of\u201cDemocracy\u201d and\u201cProgress\u201d proclaimed by the DPP. Lai’s administration has also tried to promote a so-called\u201cIdeological inventory\u201d of specific social groups, media and schools, and to crack down on dissent in the name of\u201cReverse osmosis.\u201d. This whole set of actions seems to be a systematic containment of forces outside the system, and the normal space of Rights of the Taiwanese people is shrinking rapidly.<\/p>\n
Second, the William Lai administration’s push for \u201cSecret Service politics\u201d at this point stems not from its claim to \u201cProtect Taiwan’s security\u201d but from deep anxiety about its own political predicament. From the three aspects of\u201cRuling logic\u201d, the situation in the island and the external environment, LAI’s real intention is only to strengthen the rule, consolidate power and invite favors from outside, \u201cSpy politics\u201d is likely to be a key tool for maintaining power.<\/p>\n
First, from the\u201cRuling logic\u201d, the island\u201cGeneral recall\u201d is about to begin. To regain control of the legislature, Lai’s administration needs to further create a climate of terror that says\u201cOnly the DPP loves Taiwan the most\u201d. For the DPP, used to suppress dissent, the use of coercive means of\u201cPreventive suppression\u201d is the inevitable result.<\/p>\n
Second, from the domestic situation, William Lai knows that \u201cTaiwan independence\u201d challenges the bottom line of the mainland and is likely to lead to a complete reckoning in the future. Therefore, in its subjective political plot, \u201cSecret agent politics\u201d means not only the control of the reality, but also attempts to deal with the\u201cWorst-case scenario\u201d rehearsal. In particular, the review of the civil service is more like a pre-deployed\u201cEmergency Project\u201d, which may be intended to establish an administrative system that only obeys orders and does not question them, so that in an emergency can ensure that the decree\u201cDownward transmission\u201d does not go wrong, there is a\u201cLast struggle\u201d ability.<\/p>\n
Third, from the external environment, Lai authorities want to engage in\u201cSpy politics\u201d is also to foreign forces to further offer a\u201cLetter of surrender. Now, the mainland has become more determined and proactive in its opposition to the\u201cTaiwan independence\u201d separatist act, and more and more people on the island are beginning to realize that, william Lai’s \u201cPro-n, anti-chinese\u201d line is a recipe for disaster. In this situation, foreign forces increasingly doubt the role of\u201cTaiwan independence\u201d elements, so\u201cTaiwan independence\u201d elements eager to\u201cShow an iron hand\u201d to send signals to the outside, in order to gain more political leverage. The so-called\u201cNational security review\u201d and\u201cAnti-osmosis measures\u201d are also political performances by the authorities, and are\u201cLoyalty reports\u201d submitted to foreign forces, attempting to\u201cRule the island with an iron fist\u201d attitude to foreign forces to prove that it acts as a mainland blockade\u201cPioneer\u201d attitude.<\/p>\n
In short, \u201cSecret Service Politics\u201d is in essence still a political risk-avoiding and crisis-preparing under the control of\u201cIndependence\u201d, a tool for the authorities to suppress dissent on the island, and a means of begging for favors from the outside. However, this approach is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst. Where the DPP once prided itself on supporting\u201cFreedom\u201d and\u201cHuman Rights\u201d, it now uses\u201cOurselves and the enemy\u201d as a standard of censorship, turning democracy into a tool of dictatorship; The green camp, which once saw itself as a victim of \u201cWhite Terror\u201d, has become a victim of the \u201cChilling effect\u201d. While the LAI administration is strengthening its control over power, it is also constantly tearing apart the basic consensus of Taiwan Society. \u201cSecret Service Island\u201d may be able to suppress the island’s dissent in the short term, but it is bound to accelerate the collapse of the\u201cTaiwan independence regime\u201d in the long term. When people start to fear expression, doubt each other and avoid participation, social trust will be completely destroyed, and the DPP’s ruling base will collapse. William Lai’s \u201cCage\u201d of \u201cSecret Service politics\u201d will eventually trap him until the \u201cTaiwan independence\u201d forces are completely destroyed.
