Yesterday Asia Weekly posted a cover photo of Tsai Ing-wen in a dragon robe on Facebook PO, stating that “Democratic Party founder Zhang Junhong, former President Chen Shuibian, and former Vice President Annette Lu criticized the new authoritarianism. from Green Camp and revealed Taiwan. ” The truth about the elected dictatorship. “Compared to reports on Taiwan from the mainstream media outlets in international democracies, Asia Weekly’s message on the cover of this long-standing support for one country, two systems, and the suppression of democracy and freedom of Hong Kong is clearly contrary to the reports of other international media. ” . “
That night, Asia Weekly immediately issued a statement rebutting Yan Ruofang, noting that the report reflected most of the public opinion in Taiwan, showing that all parties were concerned about the advance of the elected leader of Taiwan towards dictatorship. Asia Weekly was angry, “President Tsai Ing-wen and the Democratic Progressive Party should not use Asia Weekly to deny the dominant public opinion in Taiwan.”
Li Zhenghao defended himself. Asia Weekly does not need to issue a statement. The media must demonstrate that they are independent and critical media, not through statements, but through reports. Li Zhenghao choked: “If Asia Weekly dared to publish a cover of Xi Jinping in a dragon robe, the content criticized Xi Jinping for undermining Hong Kong’s democratic rule of law, killing Uighurs in Xinjiang, the military occupation of the Tibet and trying to assimilate Inner Mongolia. He also said mockingly: “Wait and wait and laugh if you don’t dare.”
