Cao Xingcheng: "No Surrender Commitment" is too weak, candidates should swear to coexist with their positions

Cao Xingcheng, the former chairman of UMC, participated in the live broadcast of the "Cao Xingcheng x New Generation of Youth Participating in Politics" symposium held by Legislator Lin Changzuo's office today. Cao Xingcheng said at the meeting that this vote is the key to deciding whether we are "Ukraine" or "Afghanistan". He also criticized the "Non-surrender Pledge" signed by many candidates recently for being too weak. Candidates should take an oath to defend Taiwan, their determination to live and die with the position.
Cao Xingcheng said that the investment in all defense hardware is not as important as the investment in the people's psychology. This vote is the key to decide whether we are "Ukraine" or "Afghanistan". Ukraine declared its determination to defend its homeland during the Ukraine-Russia war. Therefore, the world's assistance continues, and Afghanistan has received 20 years of resources from the United States, but embezzles the money and does not use weapons. Therefore, everyone has the determination to fight against CCP China and protect Taiwan, which is more important than weapons. Cao Xingcheng also appeals to the public to open their eyes when voting in the election and to know whether the candidates they support are willing to defend Taiwan.
In response to the "Non-surrender Commitment Letter" initiated and signed by the separatist group recently, Cao Xingcheng believes that it is "very weak". Hiding or running away is considered non-surrender. Candidates should swear their determination to defend Taiwan and live with their positions. He doesn't care. Whoever is elected only cares if whoever is elected will take the oath of coexistence and death with Taiwan.
Cao Xingcheng emphasized that CCP China has announced that it will have the strength to attack Taiwan in 2027. If Taiwan has shown fragility, confusion and no determination to resist the Communist Party in recent years, China may come in five years. These five years are very precious.

The CCP created SARS-CoV-2 to "seek rule by the epidemic". Cao Xingcheng: Chen Shizhong can only stop the epidemic if he does a good job in epidemic prevention
Reporter : Chen Yufu / https://news.ltn.com.tw/news/politics/breakingnews/4064529 / Image : Cao Xingcheng, former chairman of UMC. (file photo)
Cao Xingcheng, former chairman of UMC, and Chen Shizhong, a candidate for mayor of Taipei from the Democratic Progressive Party, were interviewed by the "Xiao Jun Taiwan Plus" online program, and the two sides talked about the epidemic of Wuhan pneumonia (covid, COVID-19) . Cao Xingcheng pointed out that the covid virus came from the CCP, and it was "made" in Wuhan and then leaked out. China even "uses the epidemic to reunite" behind its back every day. A bunch of CCP bandits in Taiwan are clamoring there all day. Thanks to Chen Shizhong's good epidemic prevention, now everyone is healthy, he really wants to thank him.
Cao Xingcheng pointed out that the covid epidemic was aimed at people over the age of 70. At that time, it was very nervous. Fortunately, Minister Chen Shizhong took good measures to prevent the epidemic, so he could live here; Chen Shizhong went on to say that the success of Taiwan's epidemic prevention is the national epidemic prevention, No one or an individual can do it. The best thing is to keep the society from confrontation as much as possible, and then there is a consensus that this is the team's most effective effort during the epidemic,but it is not something that can be achieved by individuals.
Cao Xingcheng mentioned that epidemic prevention is actually very difficult and involves everyone's health and opinions. This reminds him of the 1930s Shanghai Youth Gang who had an old man named Du Yuesheng. Du Yuesheng was very successful as a person and very good at looking at people. Du Yuesheng believes that people can be simply divided into two categories. There are three categories. The first category is that they have a good temper and can do things well. The second type is that they can do things, but they have a great temper. The third category is to speak every day without doing things, and Chen Shizhong is the first category.
Cao Xingcheng believes that at that time, the epidemic was fierce and lethal. Behind it, there was CCP China "using the epidemic to seek reunification" every day, desperately engaging some CCP bandits, stirring up and insulting every day, and making people feel that epidemic prevention was a failure but this is not the case. Taiwan's epidemic prevention has been very successful.
Cao Xingcheng emphasized that SARS-CoV-2 (covi, covid virus, Wuhan virus) came from the CCP, and it was clearly "made" in Wuhan and then leaked out, so the CCP tried desperately to cover it up. At that time, doctors who were whistling were warned that if it was a virus that naturally originated from bats, just like typhoons and earthquakes, there must be something to cover up, so there must be ghosts!
Cao Xingcheng pointed out that this ghost was made by the CCP itself. After making this virus and spilling it on Taiwan to make people sick, he asked, "I have a vaccine antidote, do you want it?" Then these CCP minions in Taiwan were desperately arguing and borrowing the vaccine requires that Taiwan be recognized as a part of China, which has caused great difficulties, so epidemic prevention is really not easy. Chen Shizhong blocked this. Now everyone is healthy and he really wants to thank him.
Chen Shizhong mentioned that in fact, preparations for the procurement of foreign vaccines and domestic vaccine incentives began a long time ago the year before. At that time, the scientific evidence was constantly changing. There are some people in Taiwan that are sabotaging, and before the vaccine comes in, they say "you can't buy it, you can't buy it", and when the vaccine comes in, "you can't finish it, you can't finish it." The Legislative Yuan also called to scold him and demanded that Minister of Health and Welfare be held responsible. Later, when the epidemic broke out, those who scolded secretly ran to get vaccinated again, "The one who scolded the loudest was vaccinated the most!" After the secret vaccination, they said that these vaccines were invalid when they came in, or they were saying, "Why can't you buy them?" It has been creating social panic, and it can be known from the timing that these people are doing damage, not commenting.
Chen Shizhong pointed out that, in fact, when the Omicron variant has not yet emerged at the end of 2021, Taiwan's epidemic prevention is one of the best in the world. Before Omicron appeared, the epidemic prevention in various countries was mainly based on zero. At least Taiwan has done it very successfully. Later, it began to coexist with the virus in 2022. Omicron is a crisis and a turning point. Experts say that the infection rate will increase but it will become milder. The government is also waiting for it. The preparations are ready. The drugs received are also the fastest in Asia. Now the command centre is preparing to open the Republic of China border in October.

The anti-intermediate protection platform is not soft! Cao Xingcheng plans to invest in building 1 million attack drones
After Cao Xingcheng, the former chairman of UMC, pledged to donate NT$3 billion to Taiwan's national defense at the end of August 2022, in an exclusive interview with the British newspaper Financial Times recently, he revealed that he is currently in contact with Taiwan's drone manufacturers with plans to invest funds to build 1 million attack drones to resist the CCP's invasion of Taiwan!
Financial Times published an exclusive interview with Cao Xingcheng on 21 September 2022, mentioning that Cao Xingcheng recently returned to Taiwanese nationality, held a press conference to announce that he would donate NT$3 billion to strengthen Taiwan's national defense, and vowed to fight for his land until he was buried. The newspaper bluntly stated that Cao Xingcheng is engaged in the greatest "battle" of his life, that is, "against China".
Cao Xingcheng said that what he wants to do now is to ensure that no one is afraid of CCP China's possible invasion of Taiwan in 2 to 3 years, and at the same time be fully prepared during this period. The report pointed out that at present, Cao Xingcheng has used his first pledge of NT$1 billion to train civilian soldiers. During the interview, he also revealed that he intends to provide funds for the development of military drones.
Cao Xingcheng said that he is in talks with Taiwanese drone manufacturers, hoping to form an industrial alliance to quickly produce 1 million attack drones at low cost that can be used to attack them (via drones).”
In addition, Cao Xingcheng also shared with the "Financial Times" his mental process of changing his views on China, mentioning that he has been labeled as pro-China in the past, especially that he has repeatedly advocated for a reunification referendum, "but everyone misunderstood this plan. The painting is to prove that the Taiwanese people are opposed to reunification, and to prevent reunification as a result, reunification is a 'dirty word' that you can't say!"
The real reason why Cao Xingcheng is willing to stand up and openly oppose CCP China is because he saw Beijing's ruthless suppression of Hong Kong's anti-extradition campaign in 2019, "The people took to the streets in a peaceful and rational way to express their demands, but the government launched such a brutal suppression. This actions made me angry, so I decided to stop going to China, Hong Kong or Macau and start fighting the Chinese Communist Party. I'm going to tell the Taiwanese out loud: 'Attention! There's no way out when you get to a point like Hong Kong'!"

Cao Xingcheng: If Taiwan is not in civil strife, the CCP will be hard to shake

The CCP recently conducted military exercises around Taiwan, and Taiwanese internal officials responded. Cao Xingcheng, honorary chairman of UMC, held a press conference on 25 September 2022. He believes that there is no need to speculate whether the CCP will use force against Taiwan but the strength is not enough.” Taiwan must be ready for a decisive battle in the sea and the air. The CCP’s Korean War and Vietnam War were all human sea tactics. Russia attacked Ukraine because it was a plain, and the chariots drove directly into it. As long as there is no civil strife, it will be difficult for the CCP to shake Taiwan.
Some people were dissatisfied with Cao Xingcheng's remarks and went to UMC to protest. UMC stated in a statement that Mr. Cao Xingcheng retired from UMC more than ten years ago and has nothing to do with UMC.
Cao Xingcheng pointed out that the CCP has engaged in armed and violent struggle since 1927, and until the Cultural Revolution created ten years of catastrophe, it never followed the rule of law or the justice system, and it was always violent, because the CCP is a hooligan. The judiciary requires evidence, debate, and respect for facts. The CCP does not believe this at all.
He said that the CCP, an illegal and violent group that steals Chinese land, relies on lies and violence. After the establishment of the regime, without legislative and judicial procedures, it used peasants to fight the landlords, robbed more than 700 million mu of land, and distributed 300 million mu to peasants but in 1953 they used collective farms and people's communes to take back their land and deceive the peasants. Looking at the Hong Kong anti-extradition incident, the CCP promised that Hong Kong would not change for 50 years but it changed in 20 years.
Cao also said that reports from international research institutions show that the CCP's arrogance and domineering in the world has aroused the disgust of many countries. If Taiwan is unified with it, future generations will be fooled into brainless and cold-blooded wolf warriors.

"Taiwanese will come back to Taiwan to suppress the Communist Party", the two children are already in Taiwan
In the past, Cao Xingcheng emphasized that if something happened in Taiwan, his two sons would return to Taiwan to suppress the Communist Party. Yesterday, he personally confirmed that his sons were already in Taiwan. He also analyzed that geopolitical turmoil will not have much impact on Taiwan's semiconductor industry. Taiwanese businessmen were able to run away ten years ago. China's economic prosperity has become a thing of the past, and there will be more and more internal troubles in the future, including economic growth stalled, loan problems broke out, and unscientific lockdowns causing economic downturns, etc. "

Why are Taiwanese anti-communist? Cao Xingcheng: The CCP is a cannibalistic society!
Reporter : Chen Yufu / https://news.ltn.com.tw/news/politics/breakingnews/4064607 / Image : Cao Xingcheng, former chairman of UMC. (file photo)
Cao Xingcheng, the former chairman of UMC, and Chen Shizhong, a candidate for the Taipei mayor of the Democratic Progressive Party, held a century-long dialogue on the "Xiao Jun Taiwan Plus" online program and accepted questions from young people. Why are Taiwanese anti-communist? Cao Xingcheng emphasized that the CCP is a cannibalistic society, while Taiwan held a direct presidential election in 1996, and the people are the masters of the country, "In Taiwan, you must cherish that you are the master of the country, we are not a cannibalistic society, so we must resist a cannibalistic society. That's why anti-communism!"
Cao Xingcheng mentioned that Lu Xun once said that on the surface of Chinese history, there is a lot of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but there are only two words "eat people" in the gap! China's autocratic system is a "cannibalistic" system. The CCP's regime was obtained by violence. Mao Zedong also said that the barrel of a gun creates power, so it is basically a hooligan.
Cao Xingcheng emphasized that this "rogue regime" is very afraid of others using violence to overthrow it. In fact, the CCP only believes in violence and uses violence to maintain stability. In China, the cost of maintaining stability is high, and maintaining stability is violence and murder.
Cao Xingcheng pointed out that the CCP we are dealing with is a cannibalistic society. Taiwan finally held a direct presidential election in 1996. China used to be the "family world", but now the republic is "the party world". Although it is called the People's Republic of China, ordinary people cannot vote. Everyone has to obey CCP, not to love CCP is not enough.
Cao Xingcheng explained that it was the same in the previous Kuomintang era. Everyone had to learn doctrine and be loyal to the leader first, and then the country. Great leaders are above the country. It was not until 1996 when the election of the president was opened that Taiwan really became a "Republic of China", not a party-state. The people are above the country. This is a truly earth-shattering thing for thousands of years. That’s why the CCP launched missiles at that time and threatened not to be elected directly. Because you become the master of the country, the CCP’s strategy will not work. In Taiwan, you must cherish you're the masters of the country. Republic of China is not a cannibalistic society, so Taiwanese must resist the cannibalistic society, which is why Taiwanese are anti-communist.
In addition, young people in Hong Kong asked if there is any policy to allow Hong Kong people to integrate into Taiwan society? Chen Shizhong replied that he talked to foreign friends living in Taipei. Although everyone thinks that Taiwanese are very kind to foreigners, Taiwan is not so friendly to foreigners. For example, some foreigners live in Taiwan for a long time and pay a lot of taxes. The credit card limit cannot exceed NT$40,000, and it is difficult to borrow money because of foreign status. If he becomes the mayor of Taipei, he will set up the International Affairs Bureau to be responsible for international investment promotion and to make Taipei a friendly city.
Cao Xingcheng went on to say that in 2019 he saw Hong Kong people being persecuted and he was really sympathetic, which is why he decided to openly oppose the Communist Party. Originally, Hong Kong was indifferent to the world and was the least concerned about politics, but it forced 1 million and 2 million Hong Kong people to take to the streets. Hong Kong was originally a separation of legislative, executive and judicial powers. Although there was no democracy, the parliament inherited the British system. It is guaranteed. As a result, the sovereignty of Hong Kong has been handed over to China after 20 years. The executive power is in China's hands. It is called "Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong". However, the leader of the Special Administrative Region is an underground party member. to be elected.
Cao Xingcheng criticized that Zhou Qiang, President of the Supreme People's Court of China, once said that the separation of powers and judicial independence are both wrong. In other words, they think that the judiciary should obey the Party, the courts are run by the Party, how can they be independent, and the Communist Party wants to punish you, so what guarantee can you get when you go to the court? The Hong Kong police suppressed the Hong Kong people and even colluded with the underworld to beat the common people. When the men in white in Yuen Long beat people, the Hong Kong police had evidence but they did not prosecute in the end.
On the issue of epidemic prevention, Cao Xingcheng praised Chen Shizhong as a "general", unlike some people in Taiwan who do everything they do, they are looking at whether China has caring eyes. Cao even more bitterly criticized that there are many people who have been infiltrated in Taiwan, "It is clear that China is intimidating Taiwan by attacking and martial arts, but there are Taiwanese that say Taiwan should not provoke the mainland. The epidemic was clearly caused by China, and yet they argue Chen Shizhong should take responsibility for the epidemic. Why do they not go to China and sue CCP for the epidemic?"

Zhongnanhai announces 15 criteria for officials to step down, involving the disappearance of Xi Jinping clauses
Editor : Wen Hui / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2022/09/26/a103536935.html / Image : On 8 September 2022, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China announced the "Promotion of the Regulations on Promoting Leading Cadres Can Up and Down", which clarified 15 situations for officials to step down, but the sensitive clauses related to the re-election of Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping have disappeared.

中南海公布官员下台15标准 涉及习近平条款消失
The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China is scheduled to debut on 16 October, and the reelection of high-level officials has attracted much attention. The Beijing authorities recently issued new regulations specifying 15 scenarios for officials to step down, but the outside world found that sensitive provisions related to the re-election of Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping have disappeared.
The General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China recently issued a revised version of the Regulations on Promoting the Ability of Leading Cadres to Go Up and Down (hereinafter referred to as the Regulations). In August this year, it was revised by the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and announced by the General Office of the CPC Central Committee on 8 September.
In the revised regulations, 15 regulations are listed for CCP officials to step down, including: Political ability is not too strong; ideals and beliefs are shaken; responsibility and fighting spirit are not strong; there are deviations in the view of political achievements; organizational concept is weak; principle, arbitrary or cronyism, etc.
It is worth noting that the new version of the above-mentioned "Regulations" no longer contains the more specific content of the 2015 version, such as the strict implementation of the "restriction on retirement age for cadres" and "limitation on the maximum number of years in office" and so on. These original clauses are considered to contradict Xi Jinping's re-election at the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
In the 2015 version of the original "Regulations", a number of specific provisions on retirement at age were listed, including:
Article 4, "Strictly implement the rules and regulations on dismissal (retirement) of cadres upon expiration of their term of office, and resignation upon expiration of their term of office";
Article 5: "Strictly implement the cadre retirement system. If a cadre reaches the age limit for office or the age limit for retirement, he shall go through the procedures for removal (retirement) in accordance with the relevant procedures. If the removal (retirement) is delayed due to work needs, it shall be subject to cadre management. Authority, the party committee (party group) will study and put forward opinions, and report to the higher-level party organization for approval”;
Article 6, "Strictly implement the tenure system for leading cadres, the term of office, the number of sessions and the maximum term of office shall generally not be extended" and so on.
Hu Ping, editor-in-chief of "Beijing Spring" magazine, believes that the new version of the regulations cancels the only hard constraints of the old version, which actually greatly expands Xi Jinping's arbitrariness in the promotion of cadres and the appointment and removal of personnel. This means that the limit of up to two terms, including the general secretary, has been broken, and the retirement age limits, including the "seven ups and eight downs" for entering the Politburo and the Politburo Standing Committee, have also been broken.
Since the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee have had an unwritten rule of "seven ups and eight downs", that is, the age limit for renewal at the age of 67 and retirement at the age of 68.
According to the rule of "seven ups and eight downs", among the current Politburo Standing Committee members, 69-year-old Xi Jinping, 72-year-old Li Zhanshu, and 68-year-old Han Zheng have all reached retirement age; there are also 9 Politburo members. They include Vice Premier Liu He (70), Director of the Foreign Affairs Office of the Communist Party of China Yang Jiechi (72), and Vice Premier Sun Chunlan (72).
But after Xi Jinping came to power at the 18th National Congress, many previous rules have been broken, including the removal of the presidential term limit by amending the constitution, paving the way for Xi Jinping to be re-elected at the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. It is speculated by the outside world that Xi Jinping may break the unspoken rule of "seven ups and eights" at the 20th National Congress, so that he can govern for a long time in the future.

Former U.S. Secretary of State Pompeo, who has a clear stand for Taiwan, arrived in Taiwan this evening (26 September) for the "Global Taiwan Business Forum", where he will give a keynote speech, and will also attend the opening ceremony and speech of the annual meeting of the World Federation of Taiwan Chambers of Commerce.
Pompeo visited Taiwan in March 2022 and was awarded the Special Grand Ribbon Star Medal by President Tsai Ing-wen for his contributions to improving Taiwan-U.S. relations. This is Pompeo's second visit to Taiwan this year. Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Tan Zhongguang, DPP legislator He Zhiwei, AIT officials and others went to pick up the plane.
The first "Global Taiwan Business Forum" will focus on "sharing the authoritative views of the general manager, leading Taiwan's economic and trade development". Vice President Lai Ching-te will also attend the forum on 27 September 2022.
Pompeo was invited to be the guest of honor for this keynote speech. He will share forward-looking views on the topic of "Seeing Taiwan's Post-pandemic New Business Opportunities from the World's Economic and Trade Trends" covering global economic trends, supply chain restructuring, industrial layout and innovative development and other multi-faceted topics.
He Zhiwei said that this time Pompeo's visit to Taiwan will not have too high-intensity political issues, and will focus on economic and trade cooperation issues. During his visit to Taiwan, he will meet with President Tsai and Vice President Lai Ching-te. This meeting is also an important release to the American people. The message is that Taiwan does not only have chips, but also projects that serve the world. Therefore, investing in Taiwan's security is investing in the peace of the world.
Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Qimai said that Pompeo will definitely fall in love with Kaohsiung because Kaohsiung is a very representative city in Taiwan and can definitely feel the enthusiasm of Kaohsiung people.

(Photo by reporter Li Huizhou, Reuters, synthesized by this newspaper)
Former US Secretary of State Pompeo reiterated in his speech in Kaohsiung today (27 September) that Taiwan has long been an independent country, loves freedom and is an ally of the United States. One of the proudest things in his tenure as Secretary of State is to make the United States more aware of this reality.
The first "Global Taiwan Business Forum" hosted by the Liberty Times was held in Kaohsiung this morning. In addition to gathering leaders of Taiwan's heavyweight business leaders to discuss global layout, supply chain restructuring, etc., former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was also invited to deliver a 20-minute speech on the topic of "Seeing Taiwan's Post-pandemic New Business Opportunities from the World's Economic and Trade Trends". Vice President Lai Ching-teh also delivered a speech.
Pompeo said that he is very happy to come to Kaohsiung. He is the first to visit this beautiful place among the former and current U.S. Secretary of State. He looks forward to meeting more Taiwanese friends in the past few days. It's like going back home.
Pompeo pointed out that some people are not happy to see Americans coming to Taiwan to celebrate their cherished friendship, and even believe that Taiwan is not free but part of the People's Republic of China.
However he has a different point of view, as Taiwan's past and present leaders have said, Taiwan does not need to declare independence because it is already an independent country. Pompeo said that one of the proudest things he did as Secretary of State was to make the government and people of the United States more aware of this political and diplomatic reality.
Pompeo said no American would now mistake China and Taiwan for the same country, because one is free and one is not; one is an ally of the United States and the other is an oppressive adversary.
Pompeo served as the 70th Secretary of State of the United States during the Trump administration from 2018 to 2021. He has a clear stand in support of Taiwan, and even lifted the long-standing restrictions on exchanges between Taiwan and the United States on the eve of leaving office. Pompeo visited Taiwan for the first time in early March this year. He met with President Tsai Ing-wen in Taipei. In his public speech, he called on the United States to recognize Taiwan diplomatically. He revisited it in just half a year, showing the degree of love for Taiwan.

(Photo by reporter Wang Rongxiang)
Former US Secretary of State Pompeo visited Kaohsiung today and participated in an economic and trade forum hosted by this newspaper. Several groups expressed their welcome at the scene. Members of the New Federal State of China established by Guo Wengui, a Chinese businessman in exile in the United States, are also present. The audience expressed their demands, emphasizing that the CCP is not equal to the Chinese, and that Taiwan must welcome and thank Pompeo.
This morning, three groups, including the Taiwan Southern Society, Taiwan Fundamentals, and the New Federal Commonwealth of China, went to Pompeo's speech to express their welcome. Although they were all welcome, the flag and demands of the New Federal State of China were closely related to the Southern Society and the People's Republic of China. There are significant differences in radicals that draw attention.
The members of the federation explained that the people present today are from all over Taiwan, most of them from the north, and they are all Taiwanese, mainly to welcome the second visit of former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. Supporting Taiwan, as Taiwanese and a democratic country, Taiwanese must thank this person well.
Members also pointed out that on the last day of the Trump administration, Pompeo compared the Chinese Communist Party to Nazi Germany and the Islamic State (IS), declared the atrocities suffered by Muslims in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region since March 2017 to be "genocide", and accused China of committing "harmful attacks", "human crime", which is consistent with the Federation's position that the greatest enemy of the Chinese is the CCP.
The New Federal State of China is an anti-CCP political group initiated by exiled Chinese businessmen and dissidents Guo Wengui and Stephen Bannon in the United States. The associations include the Rule of Law Fund, the Rule of Law Society, and the Himalayan Supervision Agency.

Chen Qimai joked that his English name is the same as Pompeo, and he is also called Mike. Taiwanese like Mike very much.
