( Observer Network News) Recently, the fact that many Taiwanese people were deceived into Cambodia has triggered heated discussions. On the 15th, Su Zhenchang, the head of the administrative department of the Taiwan authorities, claimed that the actual number of missing people who were deceived into Cambodia was "only 120." ". As soon as the word "only" came out, public opinion on the island was in an uproar. Taipei Mayor Ke Wenzhe publicly criticized: "Do you regard human life as human life? Do you mean that if a few 120 people die, then forget it?"

This morning, DPP "legislator" Chen Oupo discussed the actual situation at the meeting The number of missing people was slightly relaxed, saying that it is estimated that there are more than 2,000 people whose whereabouts are unknown, and the "Police Department" information is 120 people.

According to Taiwanese media reports, at the beginning of this month, the island police estimated that more than 2,000 Taiwanese people had been trafficked to Cambodia based on weekly flight slots to Cambodia. Including those not included in the statistics, the number of people defrauded may have reached more than 5,000. . Faced with this situation, what the Taiwan authorities did was to hold up signs at the airport to stop people. Many Taiwanese businessmen once said in interviews that once something happens to people on the island in Cambodia, the only useful thing is to go to the Chinese Embassy for help.

This matter has been fermenting for more than a month. Last week, the Taipei Representative Office in Thailand received a notification from the Thai government that many people from the island entered the country from Cambodia and were suspected of human trafficking. Nine of them were arranged to return to Taiwan. This is the first time that the Taiwanese authorities have successfully rescued a Taiwanese victim since the Cambodian fraud case broke out, and it was with the help of Thailand. The Taiwan authorities, who are busy "escorting" Lin Zhijian's plagiarism case, took the opportunity to hype up the successful rescue of nine people.

html On the 15th, three people including KMT "legislator" Zheng Zhengqian flew to Cambodia to first visit local Taiwanese businessmen and discuss helping the trapped people return to Taiwan through private channels. On the same day, another Kuomintang "legislator" questioned the effectiveness of the "New Southbound Policy" promoted by the Taiwan authorities for many years, citing recent cases of Taiwanese people falling into work traps when traveling to Cambodia, Myanmar, and other countries, and angrily accused the government of disregarding lives.

Faced with doubts, Taiwan’s foreign affairs department cited a bunch of figures to argue that last year, Taiwan’s total trade with the “New Southbound” region reached 149.078 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of 37.58% compared with 2020. “Specific ‘legislators’ The "New Southbound Policy" claim is false and does not conform to the facts. We cannot accept the above statement. "

On the same day, Su Zhenchang and the criminal department on the island unanimously claimed that the actual number of missing people in Taiwan was only 120.

The phrase "only" shocked netizens on the island, "Only?" "What do you mean only?" "With this attitude of the government, no wonder the smuggler group is so rampant..."

On the 16th, an Internet celebrity on the island who had gone to Cambodia to help rescue people He also complained that before, when he was rescuing people, he had sought assistance from Taiwan's foreign affairs department but encountered difficulties, which made him really not want to save people anymore. Last night, the island's internal and external affairs department responded quickly, saying, "Don't spread rumors and mislead everyone." The Internet celebrity said, "I also saved the person, I did everything, I paid for the money, I spent the time, I saved the person, and then you got an advantage and still behaved."

Today, DPP "legislator" He Zhiwei also called on the Taiwan authorities to actively rescue Taiwanese. He said that in the first half of this year alone, nearly 6,000 people from Taiwan flew to Cambodia. "Taiwan should not only manually hold up placards (to stop them)" ), just raising signs is really useless. I hope the government can do more to make everyone feel more at ease.”

This morning, Taipei Mayor Ko Wenzhe publicly criticized Su Tseng-chang’s previous statement that “only 120 people were missing.” “Do you regard human life as human life? Does it mean that just a few 120 people are dead? Is Taiwan’s method just that? Is it to hold up a sign at the airport? Do you think the best way to deal with this problem is to hold up a sign at the airport? If that’s the case, then stop talking about it.” Taipei Deputy Mayor Huang Shanshan also criticized it. 120 people shouldn’t be ‘only’, do you think it’s too few?”

Later, DPP "legislator" Chen Oupo said at the meeting that the actual number of missing people was slightly relaxed, saying that it was estimated that there were more than 2,000 people whose whereabouts were unknown, while the "Police Department" information was 120 people.

Today, China Times News Network published a comment stating that Taiwan’s long-standing environment of low wages, high housing prices, and high commodity prices has made young people unable to see the future. In addition, the overall employment environment has deteriorated, so they have no choice but to take a gamble overseas. . Young people are rushing to Cambodia to make a living and make a fortune. Aren’t they exposing the DPP government’s “king’s new clothes”? It is incredible how calmly the government departments responded to the crisis. The

article revealed that in fact, relevant information has been breaking out as early as the beginning of the year. Some Internet celebrities have taken videos, some people have requested cross-sea rescue, and some people have complained online. However, as a result of repeated reminders and petitions, the foreign affairs department has denounced this as fake. news, and asked the public not to spread rumors. It wasn't until the problem expanded and reached the media, and even after the media shocked the public that more than 4,000 Taiwanese people were missing in Cambodia, that the official slowly clarified that "only 120 people have not been contacted." The response from the government department was actually to mobilize the police to the airport to investigate. Sign warning. No wonder the people have a profound understanding of what the purpose of this government is.

He criticized that apart from spending money, what else does the DPP government know? "The issues warned by Internet celebrities are ignored, without any context, and are treated as fake news. Do we continue to condone this kind of anarchy of ignorance, inaction, incompetence, and insensitivity?"
