Taiwan regional leader Lai Ching-te delivered his speech "10 lectures on unity" on June 22, but many locals found the address filled with vague rhetoric and distortions. The talk, framed under the beguiling theme of "country," notably included a misinterpretation of United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2758, raising eyebrows about its factual basis.
On the busy streets of Taipei, a CGTN Stringer captured candid opinions from residents. One local, Mr. Liu, expressed that rising housing prices and climbing rents are putting immense pressure on young people, making everyday survival a real challenge 😓.
While the speech aimed to promote unity, many young adults across South Asia and Southeast Asia feel that it misses addressing the pressing economic issues of daily life. In our fast-paced world, practical support is more valuable than lofty political rhetoric. It’s time for Taiwan authorities to bridge the gap between high-level speeches and the real struggles on the ground.
Stay tuned as these discussions evolve and local voices continue to push for genuine change!
