After the 7.2-magnitude earthquake occurred in Hualien, Taiwan, President Tsai Ing-wen sat in the Disaster Response Center, and Vice President Lai Qingde went to Hualien Uranus Building to investigate the earthquake damage. Civil servants were working on-site in the disaster area, and various relief work was carried out in an orderly manner. Some netizens pointed out that when disasters occurred in the mainland, leaders and local officials disappeared collectively, and disaster relief was chaotic. They were quite emotional when comparing the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.
In the morning of 3 April 2024, after a 7.2-magnitude earthquake occurred off the coast of Hualien, Taiwan, President Tsai Ing-wen sat at the Disaster Response Center and asked all units to continue to closely monitor the situation in various places and provide necessary assistance to the people. Vice President Lai Ching-te rushed to the Uranus Building in Hualien to investigate the earthquake damage and instructed that saving lives was the top priority.
Netizen Shan posted on, "The (Chiense Communist) leadership is basically missing! No one cares at all, and the people are left to fend for themselves! What’s even more ridiculous is that on the day of the flood, Xi Jinping went to Tibet to enjoy the plateau scenery!” (Video link)
In July 2021, severe floods occurred in Henan Province in central China. At the same time that people's WeChat and Weibo messages asking for help and survival spread across Henan, Xi Jinping did not go to the disaster area, but went to Lhasa, Tibet to inspect.
Starting from the end of July 2023, many places in China have suffered from floods. Heavy rains and floods first hit North China in early August, and then hit Northeast China hard. In Zhuozhou, Hebei, a large area was flooded due to official flood discharges, leaving the victims with no money and no home. Despite the monstrous floods, no one from the Seven Standing Committees of the Communist Party of China showed up in the disaster area. Official sources showed that senior members of the Communist Party of China were in Beidaihe at the time.
Perhaps due to the pressure of public opinion, the party media Xinhua News Agency published articles for two consecutive days on 5 and 6 August 2023, saying that Xi Jinping "personally commanded" flood fighting and disaster relief remotely.
One month after heavy rain hit Northeast China, on 8 September 2023, Xi Jinping appeared in the disaster-stricken area of Heilongjiang after the water receded, and said he was "concerned about the disaster-stricken areas." Affected by Typhoon Haikui, in the early morning of 8 September 2023, the Shenzhen Reservoir in the south was in emergency and opened its gates to release floods. Rare and severe flooding also occurred in many areas of Hong Kong.
There was a lot of discussion online about why Xi Jinping did not go to the disaster area during the flood outbreak. Hu Ping, a scholar living in the United States, said on X that it was mainly for safety reasons. There were people waiting in the disaster area, so it was difficult to maintain security. Xi Jinping was worried about it, so he simply didn't go.
Many netizens praised Taiwan’s leadership for their disaster relief performance while satirizing the CCP:
Shi Guwu Pi: "They are humble when facing disasters. This kind of reporting is simple and clear, and the camera is from a low angle. When the master's people don't need to 'look up' and pray for care, because that is what they are. Their work. Since they have been elected and have declared their loyalty to the people, they must keep their word and do it. To put it simply: this is democratic Taiwan!"
Li Shiping: "Why can't we reunify? Wouldn't it be better to give the entire mainland of China to the Republic of China?"
Mao Li Yuning: "The Chinese Communist Party has never treated its citizens as human beings. They are all ants. No matter how bullied they are, they will not resist. There are actually people in Taiwan who want to be 'unified'."
Flower Yard: "The gang leader Zhang Dejiang also ordered the Wenzhou accident train to dig a hole with an excavator and bury it on the spot! During the Wuhan virus, he first destroyed the Wuhan P4 Virus Laboratory, and then demolished the South China Seafood Market overnight! This is the CCP Rescue! Gangsters clear the land! Cover up heinous crimes!"
Netizen lucky said sarcastically: "No, too many people are being controlled too quickly. 1. Closely monitor the Internet immediately and ban accounts that spread the disaster; 2. Police and special police block all road entrances and exits, and do not allow ordinary people to enter or exit. , even if all of them die, as long as they can shut up. In particular, self-media and private rescue are prohibited from entering; 3. The Red Cross immediately screamed for donations, asking for money rather than goods; 4. Local officials quickly compiled a death toll that met the limits of promotion and wealth. and disaster situations.”
Xiao Xiaoyinggou said: "You are lying about the disappearance of the leadership. I know that the local leaders are in charge of distributing disaster relief supplies."
Jafa: "A common mantra among little pinks is that democracy cannot be used as food. Facts have proved that democracy can not only be used as food, but also allow people to eat with dignity, and can save lives at critical moments!"
ChingHung: "If Ma Ying-jeou is in China now, please keep him! Save China..."
In addition, netizen Xiao Ming posted a video showing Taiwanese civil servants in the disaster-stricken areas with their job titles and names printed on their vests, working on-site in the disaster-stricken areas. (Video link)
Last year, when floods raged in Zhuozhou, Hebei for more than a week, the first and second leaders of Zhuozhou Municipal Party Committee, Cai Weihua, and Mayor Li Xianfeng, disappeared. They did not show up to inspect the disaster or direct disaster relief, which aroused public resentment.
According to Reuters, a local resident surnamed Wang said that officials in Zhuozhou "disappeared" in front of the floods and that he himself was trapped in his apartment for three days without electricity. "Rescue teams came from all over China but could not find anyone." You can contact me.”
Wu Chunlei, 42, whose two-story house and factory were destroyed, said that in the absence of government workers, villagers had to guide rescue teams to flood-hit rural areas on their own.

The CCP replicates the Taipei Presidential Palace in Inner Mongolia
On 30 March, satellite images provided to Business Insider by Planet Labs, a private earth imaging company headquartered in San Francisco, California, showed that the CCP built a military training base in the desert of Inner Mongolia, a model of the Taipei Presidential Palace and its surrounding neighborhoods.
This neighborhood is home to most of Taiwan's administrative buildings, such as the Presidential Office, the Supreme Court, the Ministry of Justice, and the Central Bank of Taiwan.
Sim Tack, an analyst at monitoring company Force Analysis, confirmed the authenticity of the satellite image to France 24 television station. Force Analysis is a conflict zone monitoring company that acquires satellite imagery.
Sim Tack pointed out that the CCP will start building a replica of the Taipei Presidential Palace "from March 2021 to at least February 2022."
Ho Ting (Bosco) Hung, a China expert at the Verona International Security Study Group (ITSS Verona), believes that this is a kind of "psychological warfare."
"This is obviously telling Taiwan that if the Taiwan authorities reject Beijing's request, China (the Communist Party) is preparing for military action." He Tinghong said.
Mark, a sinologist at the Arctic University of Norway. Lentaigne said that in recent months, the Chinese Communist Party has been increasing its hostile actions against Taiwan, and the newly disclosed replica of the Taipei Presidential Palace is surprising.
"This shows that the Chinese (Communist Party) military has begun to have specific interest in simulated attacks against specific strategic targets." Mark. Lantagne said.
As early as 2015, the Chinese Communist Party built a replica of an architectural model of Taiwan's presidential palace in Inner Mongolia, and the newly disclosed replica is more detailed than the previous one.

He added, "Fighting urban warfare is the most difficult military operation, so Beijing will naturally be prepared for it."

The CCP’s Eastern Theater Command leaked its intention to attack Taiwan
Recently, a Weibo post from the Eastern Theater Command of the Chinese Communist Party was accused of leaking the Chinese Communist Party’s combat intentions against Taiwan, sparking heated discussions.
The Eastern Theater Command's Weibo posted a post on March 21, which stated that the army's 12 heroic model companies were reunited after 60 years. A soldier training photo in the post rarely showed the sign of "Juguang Taekwondo Hall". The Taekwondo Gym is located at No. 18, Section 4, Yangxin Road, Yangmei City, Taoyuan, Taiwan.
Taiwanese netizens traced the training venue and found that the training venue was the "Gaolishan Tactical Training Ground" of the 72nd Group Army in Jurong City, Jiangsu Province, which completely simulated the street scene of Taoyuan Yangmei's "Uedian Juguang Taekwondo Hall".
Retired Taiwanese general Li Zhengjie and military expert Lu Lishi both said that this photo showed that the Communist army was practicing a surprise attack on the important land of Taoyuan, Taiwan.
Li Zhengjie said that the gymnasium spans about 4 km eastward across Yangmei City and there is an abandoned mountaintop camp. If the Communist army occupied this camp, it could block the two armored brigades from Taiwan's Hukou Armored Base from moving north to support operations, encircle Taoyuan Airport and the entire Taoyuan, and become a beachhead for the Communist army, and the Communist army's heavy equipment could be disembarked.
Wu Kunyu, former deputy director of Taiwan's People's Party Propaganda Department and columnist, published an article in "Shangbao" on March 27, saying that Taoyuan Airport should be the main target for the Communist army to land. Helicopters may be used to land "vertical assault", and heavy equipment will be flown from Linkou. Go ashore at the beach near Guanyin or from Yong'an Fishing Port.
He pointed out that this strategy and tactics of the Communist Army have long been within the assumptions of Taiwan's military experts and the military, and this training photo released by the Chinese Communist Party's Eastern Theater Zone confirms these assumptions.
