[People News] A Taiwanese internet celebrity, previously active in the Chinese market and once regarded as a "little pink" (pro-CCP supporter), has shifted his political stance and released the documentary "China (CCP) United Front Documentary, Part Two" earlier this month. The film, which exposes the CCP's united front tactics, has sparked heated discussions on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. The documentary's creator went undercover in Fujian Province to film how the CCP lures Taiwanese citizens through Taiwan Youth Entrepreneurship Parks, offering incentives such as identity cards, loans, and other benefits. The documentary was uploaded on Saturday, December 28.
According to Voice of America (VOA), in the second part of "China (CCP) United Front Documentary," Taiwanese internet celebrity Chen Boyuan, known by his pseudonym “Minnong Wolf PYC,” went undercover in Fujian Province, including Xiamen, leveraging his previous “little pink” (pro-CCP) persona to conduct covert investigations.
Documentary Exposes Taiwan Youth Entrepreneurship Parks: “Show Up and Get Paid,” Plus Identity Cards
At one Taiwan Youth Entrepreneurship Park, a Taiwanese manager introduced the perks to young Taiwanese visitors. He explained that Taiwanese youths who settle in the area could receive between 50,000 and 200,000 RMB (up to approximately $27,000 USD) in “startup funding,” along with an additional 200,000 to 400,000 RMB in “investment funding.”
He emphasized, “None of this needs to be paid back; it’s directly provided by the local government.”
Even more striking, a manager at the base revealed that Taiwanese individuals could obtain a Chinese identity card within about one month of completing administrative procedures. Once they had an ID card, the base would assist them in connecting with banks, applying for credit cards, and even securing high-value loans.
With China's slowing economy and plummeting housing prices, he explained that individuals could quickly acquire houses from owners who were about to default on their mortgages at low costs. He added, “Once you have a house, a car, and money, you can do whatever you want.” According to him, over 4,000 Taiwanese individuals in Xiamen alone were waiting in line to obtain identity cards.
In the video, this intermediary openly admitted that the benefits offered to Taiwanese were tied to “political missions.” He further pointed out that such perks were not extended to Hong Kong residents, stating, “This is because Taiwan hasn’t been unified yet, while Hong Kong has already been unified. They (Hongkongers) no longer have any strategic value.”
Documentary Creator Bajiong: Willing to Take Risks to Break CCP’s “United Front Magic”
This one-hour-long documentary was co-produced by Bajiong, a YouTube creator famous in Taiwan for his anti-CCP videos, and Chen Boyuan, a former "little pink" (pro-CCP figure). The first part of the series, released on December 6, primarily exposed how grassroots CCP United Front organizations co-opt Taiwanese influencers. Since its release, the video has amassed 2.87 million views and sparked widespread discussion in Taiwanese society.
On Saturday morning, a press conference was held at the GIS NTU Convention Center in Taipei, titled "Exposing the Alchemy of United Front: Unveiling Xi Jinping’s New Tactics in United Front Work."
At the event, Bajiong, whose real name is Wen Ziyu, stated that the purpose of the documentary was to reveal how CCP United Front entities collude with Taiwanese comprador agents, collaborators, and even criminal organizations. However, he acknowledged that resisting the CCP’s pervasive United Front tactics would require legislative reform, which is challenging given the current composition of Taiwan’s Legislative Yuan, where the ruling party holds only a slim majority.
Wen said, “I hope there will be a law mandating that any public representatives visiting the People’s Republic of China must declare their trips, as many of the organizations they meet with are entities like the Taiwan Affairs Office or the United Front Work Department.”
Robert Tsao: CCP Only Offers Malicious United Front, Not Genuine Dialogue
Robert Tsao, the founder of Taiwanese semiconductor company UMC and a notable advocate for bolstering Taiwan's civil defense, also attended the press conference. Tsao has been listed on the CCP’s “hardcore Taiwan independence list” and subjected to punitive measures.
In his speech, Tsao explained that the CCP’s so-called "United Front" strategy revolves around “uniting secondary enemies to attack primary enemies.” He emphasized that the PRC constitution explicitly outlines the necessity of relentless struggle against "class enemies" who oppose its system and ideology.
Tsao argued that the documentary highlighted a significant crisis for Taiwan, namely the apparent success of the CCP’s United Front efforts. Increasingly, more Taiwanese people not only fail to assert their sovereignty but also echo CCP narratives about a so-called "great national rejuvenation."
However, Tsao pointed out that individuals such as Lu Shaye, the former Chinese ambassador to France, have repeatedly made alarming statements. These include threats like “re-educating all Taiwanese” or “killing all Taiwan independence supporters and leaving none alive” after Taiwan is "reunified." Tsao stressed that Taiwanese people must not harbor false hopes about the CCP’s United Front campaigns.
He said, “There is no genuine exchange between Taiwan and China, only United Front work. Genuine exchanges require the CCP to respect Taiwan as a sovereign and independent nation. Today, the CCP is like a virus that will not stop attacking us until we are eradicated. Under such circumstances, Taiwan must adopt a stance of non-engagement, non-negotiation, and non-compromise.”
As of the time of the VOA report, the Chinese government had not responded to the second part of the documentary.
Chen Shimin: Taiwanese Are Wary of the CCP; “Buying Taiwan” Is Unlikely to Succeed
Chen Shimin, an associate professor in the Department of Political Science at National Taiwan University, told VOA that the concept of “buying Taiwan instead of fighting Taiwan” is often discussed in cross-strait issues. This documentary showcases the specific methods the CCP employs to lure Taiwanese people with financial incentives, which, no matter how generous, are far cheaper than initiating an actual war.
Chen analyzed that the CCP’s long-standing effort to co-opt Taiwanese youth and encourage them to work in China serves a greater purpose. In times of high social tension, such as during elections, these individuals can be mobilized to influence public opinion in Taiwan.
However, Chen pointed out that even pro-CCP collaborators in Taiwan recognize that unification with China may not be a desirable option.
He said, “This film shows one way the CCP tries to ‘buy Taiwan.’ While it cannot be said to be completely ineffective, the idea that it could fundamentally transform Taiwanese society to fully embrace the CCP’s agenda remains unlikely. Taiwanese society has become increasingly vigilant against such efforts.”
Gong Zishen: Collaborating with the United Front Only Increases Taiwan’s Risk
Gong Zishen, the host of a YouTube political commentary channel based in Toronto, Canada, noted that the documentary’s mention of prominent Taiwanese political figures and parties from the Blue Camp, such as James Soong (Chairman of the People First Party), the Kuomintang (KMT), and the New Party, is unsurprising. These figures and groups have long been open about their involvement in United Front activities.
On the other hand, Gong criticized the Taiwanese government for tacitly allowing these activities in order to maintain communication channels with Beijing.
Gong argued that many local collaborators in Taiwan believe their actions help preserve cross-strait peace by showing goodwill to the CCP, but such thinking is naive in the face of the CCP’s intentions.
He told VOA, “The significance of exposing these United Front collaborators in the documentary is that it reveals their true nature. It also prompts reflection: their actions do not protect peace but instead put Taiwan at greater risk. They increase the chances of the CCP infiltrating and subverting Taiwan, ultimately leading to annexation.”
