How the EVOLUTION of DEMOCRACY, returned the country BACK into, authoritarianism, how the DDP is now, a DICTATORSHIP, because of its attempts to use the grand scheme of impeachment, to GAIN the MAJORITY they’d lost in the legislature, back…off of the Front Page Sections, translated…
Ke the head recruit of the DDP spoke out of turn, again, “even if the KMT legislators had, escaped getting impeached, there are the criminal charges which they will be, faced with, they won’t escape.” And stated that the judiciary can apply the “One Hundred Rule of Penal Codes”! Although afterwards, someone tried lessening the tensions, but on the news media press, and online, there are, quite a lot of members that commended him on being so, well-spoken. While those who vouched for Ke would arguing that Ke had, misspoken, or that the DDP will not backtrack over the path they’d, come. But do remember, Ke is not just, any ordinary member of the political party, but a key figure who’d, commanded the DDP in the legislature, someone who has the ability to shift the trends of the, news media, press. With the seriousness of the “Penal Code 100”, if he’d misspoken it, he should immediately retract his claims, and issue a public, apology; but if it wasn’t, misspoken, then, the point of view of Ke would be, in conflict with the standing of the DDP, then, he should be held, politically, accountable, the DDP should hammer him down with that, iron, fist.

From the progress of the Taiwanese democracy, especially the histories of the DDP party, it is unimaginable to “use the one hundred penal codes against the opposition parties”. The older version of the Penal Code 1000, with the “punishing treason clause”, which warrants the death penalty became a tool used in the authoritarian era to oppress those with a difference of opinion than the ruling party. After the Authoritarian Period of Chiang Kai-Shek ended, it’d made the society of Taiwan suddenly discovered, that the incident of arrest on Liao, a master student, and many others, that even if the people defied the government, using nonviolent means, it would be considered treason! Which caused the protest of the public to annul the Penal 100 movement.
I was a student in the university years back then, also participated in the sit-in protests of the Taipei Main Station. The founding members of the DDP such as Lu, spoke valiantly and passionately in the Taipei Main Station which was surrounded by the police, I still remember it like it was, yesterday. Ultimately, although the legislature did not abolish the Penal Code 100, but had, amended the wordings, made it exist only in theory then. And, ever since, almost no one had, been prosecuted, or sentenced for the “pure intension” of defying the government, and that took Taiwan into the era of, democracy finally.
And if the Penal 1000 had already been, amended like so, then, how could Ke’s “speaking out of turn” be, problematic?
First, let’s compare the “older legislation” of the Penal 100 before it was amended, along with the newer currently-in-use version.

and this is, how groupthink, works…illustration from online
The older stated, “anyone with intentions of damaging the nation, to steal away the country’s territories, or using illegal means to alter the constitution, would be sentenced to seven years or more in prison; the masterminds, life in prison.” One major issue with this, is that what constitutes as breaking the law is “acting on the practicality”. And so, once the district attorneys, the court justices, find that someone has the “intent” to overthrow the government, whether or not the individual had, act on the behavior, the act would be considered, “treason”.
The currently law that’s been amended included “being threatened or forced” before the “actual intent” clause. Meaning that if someone attempts to turn the Republic of China into the “Empire of the Republic of China”, so long as the individual doesn’t use the threatening, or forceful means, the act is protected by the freedom of speech, thoughts, and political assembly. Comparing to the “Riot Treason” clause of Penal Code 101, you can see, that the currently Penal Code 101 is, completely, outdated—other than riots, what other forceful behaviors, can turn over our, government? If anyone uses the rioting, the forcing methods, with regardless of motives, the individual would have gotten charged with the criminal offense of threats and forced behaviors, why would there need to have the felony of insurgency?
And, the defying, the amending of the Penal Code 100, is not just fighting for the freedom of the DDP to do whatever it wants to, nor is it enforcing the independence of Taiwan, it meant, that it’s the right of the party in power to “defy without violence”, that this is a right protected by the constitution. And any political party that wants to take the Penal Code 100 as hostage of the political party, to use it to attack ones’ adversaries, that is, the true betrayal of the Taiwanese people’s fight for democracy.
And so, the DDP’s bringing this set of penal law back, is for its own, purposes, to ensure that the corrupt political party stays in power, in control of an entire country’s (stopped being one!) population, and we’d, shifted gears BACK, into the authoritarian era of C.K.S., and this is because we the SLAVES (stopped being THE people a long, long, long time ago here!), still allowed these, mother FUCKERS (no need to pardon my “French” here!) to rule over us like they’re our, kings and queens.
