CHINA---TAIWAN --- communist CHINA ABC News (Australia) Published on Aug 13, 2019 Is Taiwan the region’s next and perhaps bigger flashpoint? As protests in Hong Kong take to the streets to fight the rising power of China, a younger generation of Taiwanese is also confronting an increasingly hardline attitude from its nearest neighbour.
Taiwan and China have been at loggerheads since the island broke away from the mainland when the civil war ended 70 years ago but there’s a new militancy in China’s rhetoric towards what it sees as its renegade province.
In June this year, a senior Chinese General publicly issued this warning: ‘If anyone dares to split Taiwan from China, our military has no choice but to fight at all costs – for national unity’.
In Death Metal Diplomacy, correspondent Bill Birtles profiles a people and a country under increasing pressure as China’s power and ambitions in the region grow.
He meets rock star and politician Freddy Lim, the charismatic Lim is famous amongst young people as the front man for cult death metal band Chthonic but now he’s pushing his message of Taiwanese independence to a broader audience.
Banned from playing in Hong Kong and on the mainland, Lim’s stage is his political platform. ‘“Only if Taiwanese are united can we overcome all difficulties’, Lim screams to thousands of fans at a recent concert who hold up independence banners.
But the reality of living in the shadow of it’s old enemy means Taiwan still operates as if on a war footing.
We capture emergency air raid drills, which see busy streets empty within minutes. We’re there for the country’s annual war games, meant to showcase the strength of Taiwan’s military but in fact revealing the opposite. And we explore China’s hearts and minds campaign, which, Taiwan says, deploys the weapons of disinformation, fake news and mainland cash to shape national debate.
And we visit the Taiwanese islands of Kinmen, its last outpost against the mainland, where only a five kilometre strait separates it from China. Kinmen tea shop owner Wang Ling welcomes the hordes of Chinese tourists who visit but feels nervous as tensions rise between the two neighbours. “If China really invaded Kinmen, I would probably move away’, she says.
Echoing the voices of Hong Kong’s young protestors, Freddy Lim sums up the mood: “We have no choice. We can't give up because Taiwan is our home. We have nowhere to escape. We just have to try to protect our way of life.”

Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam blames Taiwan for suspension of controversial extradition bill
?????? Formosa TV English News Published on Jun 17, 2019
President Tsai Ing-wen and Minister of Foreign Affairs Joseph Wu have both lashed out at Carrie Lam,
after she unexpectedly brought Taiwan into the picture.
The embattled chief executive said yesterday that work on the
extradition bill had been put on hold because Taiwan had said it would never accept it.
In response, Wu retorted on Twitter that blaming Taiwan was, quote "immoral, shameful and unacceptable,"
while President Tsai said Lam was making excuses for her failure to defend democracy.
The Hong Kong government announced it would suspend an overhaul of the territory’s extradition law.
In an unexpected move, Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam also placed the blame on Taiwan during a press conference.
Carrie LamHong Kong Chief Executive Actually, we were considering that Taiwan has openly and clearly stated
on multiple occasions that they would absolutely never accept our request to handover Chan Tong-kai under the suggested arrangements from our Special Administrative Region government.
So the urgency of passing this draft bill in this legislative year may no longer exist.
I am hereby declaring that the Special Administrative Region government is suspending its work on amendments.
Tsai Ing-wenPresidentAny leader or head of state has one important task, which is protecting the people’s democracy and freedom.
I believe this is a leader’s most basic duty; it is also the most important one.
If a leader does not have the resolve or ability to do this, then saying anything else is just an excuse.
Foreign Minister Joseph Wu lambasted Lam on Twitter, saying there had been an assault on Hong Kong’s freedom and human rights and he felt “deeply upset.”
He urged Lam to listen to the people and take full responsibility.
Blaming Taiwan is “immoral, shameful and unacceptable,” he tweeted.
The controversial bill has been suspended but not withdrawn and the people of Hong Kong say they are still dissatisfied.
Lam’s press conference yesterday not only failed to calm the anger of the people of Hong Kong: It’s also triggered anger in the people of Taiwan.
