Taiwan’s powerful “Speak Up” Political Ad (with English Subtitles - click CC)
Taiwanese President Tsai’s released a video urging Taiwanese citizens to vote during this Saturday(1/11)’s presidential election. The Ad comes at a time when much is at stake for the island nation. Revelations about interference and infiltration by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) among the nations political entities have rocked the nation. This was while major protest took place not far away in Hong Kong over the CCP’s attempt to subvert the rights of Hong Kongers through an extradition bill, which would pave the way for the territory to be subjected to violations like the genocide the CCP is committing against the indigenous Uyghur people of East Turkestan, a nation the CCP seized in 1949.Today an estimated 1 to 1.8 million Uyghur people are forcefully held in concentration camps re-labeled by the CCP as “re-education
camps”, where they undergo torture, starvation, sexual assault, medical experimentation, organ harvesting, brainwashing and more. A further 1 to 2 million Uyghurs are believed to be held in outright detention centers and prisons, with 500,000 Uyghur minors forcefully held in “boarding schools”. The Ad touches on both these realities the CCP is responsible for by using footage related to both realities, which are understandably of great concern, but even more due to the designs the CCP has publicly stated it has for Taiwan (denying its
rightful
independence from the CCP, and intending to bring it under CCP rule), contrasting the disparity between the lives of the Taiwanese and those suffering under CCP oppression, effectively making the point for what’s at stake if CCP agents are allowed to seize control of the nation.
