Over the past period of time, heavy rain has been falling in Taiwan for several days, causing serious floods in various parts of Taiwan, especially in the central and southern regions. However, the ruling DPP authorities' attitude, methods and ability to deal with floods has caused controversy.
Especially after Tsai Ing-wen was sitting in a cloud leopard armored vehicle and went to the disaster area to smile and wave his hand, the photos and videos of him waving their hands were spread online, which made the Taiwanese people even more angry.
At this time, the "Taiwan independence" media that has always supported the DPP began to excuse Tsai Ing-wen and even said again that this was the mainland using the Internet to create fake news to attack the DPP authorities.
Let’s listen to the comments made by our commentator Wen Da on this:

According to Taiwanese media reports, in recent days, there have been heavy rains in Taiwan, causing continuous floods. As of yesterday, at 6 pm on the 28th, the heavy rains and floods have killed 4 people in Taiwan and injured 147 people.
Among the unfortunate victims, most of them are elderly people living alone at the bottom of society. When they are flooded, they are often unable to escape and can only wait to be drowned. There are also people who are mourning, and the floods are coming, the mourning hall is out of the roof and the coffin flows out. In some places, the water will not recede after 5 or 6 days.
As for the property losses caused by floods, it is even more difficult to estimate.
How did the DPP authorities perform in the face of such a serious flood? Let’s take a look at a Taiwanese comic .
Ade Comics: "The Scenery After the Rain in Taiwan"
This comic has been very popular these two days. This is a satirical cartoon published by Zhang Ade's comics in a fan post. The title is "The Scenery in Taiwan after the rain". It is themed on Tsai Ing-wen taking a Yunbao armored vehicle into the flooded area to investigate disasters. She also found Lai Ching-te and Chen Ju as supporting roles to implicitly mock current affairs.
Let's take a look at what this comic is drawn:
Tsai Ing-wen took a Yunbao armored vehicle into Yong'anli, the still flooded Budai Town, to see the disaster and laughed in the car. (Picture from Taiwan media)
This satirical cartoon is set in the background of the southern flood disaster area. A citizen is holding a mobile phone and broadcasting live on Tsai Ing-wen standing on a Yunbao armored vehicle and smiling at the victims. The images of the armored vehicle and Tsai Ing-wen are particularly prominent.

Then in the water in front of the armored vehicle, a victim of disaster was much smaller, but he waved his hand to Tsai Ing-wen and choked, "Get down!" It turned out that Tsai Ing-wen was sitting in an armored vehicle to see the flood situation, but did not get out of the car, and the water was not touched. The victim was very angry and asked her to come and experience it in the water. This requirement is actually very humble. In the end, Tsai Ing-wen still got into the water.
There is a small boat drawn on the upper right side of the comic. The two pointed boats are tied together with the cloud leopard armored vehicle Tsai Ing-wen was riding on by a rope.

Lai Ching-te, who was formerly the mayor of Tainan and now promoted to the head of the Taiwan administration, also waved his hand and said, "Which city does not flood this kind of rain? Let him be God!" It turned out that after the Tainan flood, Lai Ching-te was criticized for "failed to control water" during his tenure as head of Tainan City , and Lai Ching-te arrogantly then counterattacked: "Critics can speak out and let him be God. Choose where these rainfalls are, so as to ensure that they will not flood?" This immediately triggered criticism like a tide, and Lai Ching-te had to apologize to the public to stop the bleeding.
On the stern of the boat in the painting is Chen Ju, who is the former mayor of Kaohsiung and is now promoted to the head of Tsai Ing-wen's office. She rowed the boat with a paddle, with an impatient expression on her face. The author put her narration in the painting and said, "Hurry up, I want to go back for a massage!" This is a satirical example of Chen Ju not fighting against the disaster when the typhoon hit Kaohsiung, but disappeared, and it was revealed that she had gone to a massage afterwards.

The lower right side of this comic is a dead pig lying. It turned out that due to the flood, a large number of livestock and poultry died in a farm in southern Taiwan. The Taiwanese army had to be ordered to wear simple protective clothing and carry the corpses of poultry and livestock full of pits and valleys with bare hands to avoid causing public health problems.
In the lower left of the screen, an old man wearing glasses, holding a bucket in his hand, stood in the water without his thighs, and spoke a swearing Minnan dialect at Tsai Ing-wen, Lai Ching-te and Chen Ju above.
Although it is a slander, in this caricature, it can be said that it expresses the impatientness and unacceptance of the Taiwanese people's unwillingness to the DPP authorities for the water control and the responsibility, and they can only say a lot of dry words and unhappy unhappiness.
Under the incompetence and arrogance of politicians, where can the anger of the affected Taiwanese people be exposed? So what if I send it?
After Ade's comic was published, it spread rapidly on the Internet. After reading it, many netizens praised the comic for being very good, to the point of being sharp and extremely appropriate.

Some media reported that in the face of disaster victims who need care, the need for rapid and effective disaster relief, and the water control work that needs review, several main responsible persons of the DPP authorities either accuse critics of critics or look at the affected persons with a smile, "Embariness and compassion cannot be seen in them."
In the face of such criticism, the DPP authorities seem to be trying their best to excuse their responsibilities. This time, I really can't put the blame for ineffective water control on the opposition party, and I can't get involved in the mainland. So, everyone is still reading what explanation will be next.

At this moment, the "Taiwan independence" media that has always supported the DPP and the DPP authorities could no longer sit still.
The "Taiwan independence" media, considered "pro-green", magically pointed the finger at the mainland. Yesterday (28th) it claimed that the mainland has been creating a large amount of "false information" through the so-called online "content farm" in the past two years.
For example, the content of Tsai Ing-wen sitting in an armored vehicle watching the flood is "fake news" created by the mainland, and then spread it by Taiwanese opposition people or Taiwanese cyber army to achieve "internal cooperation".
This statement has certainly been criticized. All walks of life in Taiwan questioned that since we were coming to understand the flood situation, why did we mobilize troops to ride military armored vehicles?
Besides, Tsai Ing-wen was sitting in an armored vehicle to watch the disaster situation, with all kinds of photos, videos, and live broadcasts on the Internet. The facts were truly placed in front of everyone.

You Shuhui, a candidate for the Taipei City Councillor of the Kuomintang, questioned this: There are so many Taiwanese people who have seen this fact with their own eyes, "Are everyone's eyes blind?"
This distortion and stigmatization of the mainland out of thin air and deliberately created is no longer a new thing for this infamous "Taiwan independence" media.
Because of the obsession with the "Taiwan independence" ideology, this media has long shown the lower limits in cross-strait relations and the mainland, and has no credibility. It has only one role, which is the accompanying organization of "Taiwan independence" separatist forces such as the DPP.
Real facts can be used to force the mainland to get involved in everything, saying that this is the mainland's "conspiracy". This kind of hard stubbornness without any limits and full of hostility can be described in two words, namely: "Shameless!"
