President Lai Ching-te successfully arrived in Eswatini, a friendly nation of Taiwan, breaking through China's diplomatic blockade. Immediately after the news broke, CCTV, the official media outlet of the Chinese Communist Party, interrupted its broadcast to harshly criticize Lai Ching-te. A pro-KMT commentator also mocked Lai Ching-te for "sneaking back," jokingly asking, "How are you going to get back?", drawing fierce criticism from Taiwanese netizens.
Lai Ching-te was originally scheduled to lead a delegation to Eswatini on April 22, but the trip was abruptly cancelled on the eve of departure due to pressure from China for Sesil, Mauritius, and Madagascar to cancel the flight permit for his special plane. However, yesterday evening (2 April), Lai Ching-te unexpectedly announced on Facebook that he had successfully arrived in Eswatini, sparking heated discussion.
It is understood that through meticulous arrangements by his diplomatic and national security teams, King Mswati III dispatched Deputy Prime Minister Thulisile Motsa Dladla as a special envoy, who traveled to Taiwan on the King's special plane. Lai Ching-te boarded the same plane in the early hours of April 2nd, flying directly from Taipei to Eswatini, successfully breaking through the blockade.
After the news broke, CCTV urgently interrupted its broadcast, harshly criticizing Lai Ching-te for "sneaking onto a foreign plane to escape Taiwan, squandering public funds, staging a farcical escape, and becoming an international laughingstock."
Furthermore, the Douyin account "Taiwan Strait Moment," which specializes in political propaganda and information warfare against Taiwan, also aired a clip of commentator Hsieh Han-ping mocking Lai Ching-te on a pro-KMT political talk show. Hsieh Han-ping sarcastically remarked that Lai Ching-te's trip to a friendly nation was "like a thief, which is really quite ugly." Hsieh Han-ping also asked Lai Ching-te, facing a diplomatic blockade from China, "How are you going to come back?" followed by a highly sarcastic smile.
Netizens were outraged, commenting: "Hsieh Han-ping, your mockery is utterly despicable. Don't you want Taiwan to improve? Get out of Taiwan and become Chinese again, you're a disgrace!", "It's truly evil; the pro-Taiwan independence supporters are all repulsive.", "Did I even spend Chinese RMB?", "It's not like I'm spending the CCP's money; what's wrong with spending public funds?", "So you're all so happy when the Taiwanese president is in trouble? There's always a group eager to badmouth Taiwan.", "Seeing the faces of these trashy people is truly laughable.", "The truly ugly ones are yourself and the CCP. You can't stand seeing the president do well, you can't stand seeing Taiwan progress, and everything the ruling party does is wrong in your eyes."
