Concerns over the manipulation of the referendum results by the Kuomintang opposition party

Several political activists in Taiwan are concerned over the manipulation of the referendum’s results on December 18 by the island’s opposition Kuomintang party (Taiwan’s pro-China opposition party), and utilize them to its advantage. Some activists believe that the four referendum issues proposed by the Kuomintang Party and backed by the Chinese Communist Party, have hidden political agendas, that are strategically directed at placing Taiwan in a domestic and diplomatic dilemma, potentially triggering a fall down in Taiwan’s 2022 local election and 2024 presidential election. This will contribute to Taiwan being more dependent on China, undermining democratic values and destroying Taiwan- US alliance.
