Hunter Milo - Overtime

WATER POEM

Taiwan, also known as the Republic of China, is situated in the West Pacific between Japan and the Philippines. It's a country about half the size of Ireland, but with a population of over 23 million. Taiwan has a history of strong earthquakes as the island is located within a complex zone of convergence between the Philippine Sea Plate and the Eurasian Plate. 

On April 3rd, 2024, a 7.2 (ML) magnitude quake struck close to Taiwan’s east coast city of Hualien. In this episode of Perspectives with Neilo, we traveled to Hualien to revisit the impact of the earthquake and talk to Hualien City officials about how the region is recovering.

Hualien Earthquake Aftermath

"Freedom is not Free" is a high-energy Drum & Bass track set at 170 BPM. It kicks off with a haunting atmosphere, featuring distant vocal samples and a subtle, echoing melody that builds tension. The drop unleashes a barrage of sharp, rolling basslines, punchy drums, and intricate percussive elements. The track weaves between intense, driving sections and brief moments of calm, reflecting the theme of struggle and sacrifice. Layered with eerie synths and dynamic effects, the track creates a relentless pace, embodying the message that freedom comes with a cost.

《Freedom is not Free》是一首與台灣有關的高速能量鼓打貝斯音樂，節奏設定在每分鐘170拍。這首曲子以充滿張力的氛圍開始，背景中隱約傳來的聲音樣本和迴響旋律逐漸醞釀情緒。隨著節拍的下沉，銳利的滾動低音線、強力的鼓點和精巧的打擊元素被釋放出來。音軌在激烈推進的段落與短暫的平靜之間交替，反映出掙扎與犧牲的主題。多層次的詭異合成音和動態效果，營造出一種無情的節奏，體現了自由是需要付出代價的訊息。

Freedom Is Not Free

“Recall” captures the spirit of civic resistance in Taiwan—when the people rise against injustice and demand accountability.「罷免」紀錄了台灣人民在面對不公義與政治失衡時，走上街頭，發聲、奮鬥的心情。

我們衝出來

Welcome to the fourth installment in our series on Taiwan’s Great Recall in which we aim to bring you perspectives from all sides of the debate at this important moment in Taiwan’s democratic journey. 

In our earlier episodes in this series, we spoke with a political scientist, a pro-recall grass roots organization and a Kuomintang or KMT (中國國民黨) representative. Feel free to go back and listen to those episodes which you can find on our blog at pwneilo.com or by searching for Perspectives with Neilo wherever you get your podcasts - and be sure to hit the Subscribe or Follow button as it would really help us a lot!

As we explained in previous episodes, this unprecedented KMT recall stems from a public backlash against months of legislative gridlock, budgetary obstruction, and interference with Taiwan’s highest court—including accusations of collusion with the Chinese Communist Party.  

While the recall effort is mostly organized by civil society organizations, the ruling Democratic Progressive Party or DPP (民主進步黨) has recently begun to engage more visibly as the first voting day approaches. Taiwan’s President and DPP party leader Lai Ching-te (賴清德) has also been conducting a series of 10 speeches at various civic centers around Taiwan which media reports indicate is a likely effort to boost DPP turnout in the voting.

Clearly, if enough KMT lawmakers can be unseated and the DPP can reclaim their seats in the follow on election, it would dramatically shift the balance of power in Taiwan’s parliament.

One of the KMT candidates on the recall ballot for July 26th is Wang Hung-wei (王鴻薇).  She is the deputy secretary general of the KMT legislative caucus and was last elected to the single seater District 3 in Taipei in 2024 with over 52% of the vote. Prior to becoming a national politician she was a Taipei City councillor and before that worked in Journalism.

While Wang Hung-wei is no stranger to controversy, people we spoke to say they are most concerned about her close ties to China. They cite her visit to Beijing in 2024 with KMT caucus whip Fu Kun-Chi (傅崐萁) and their meeting with top CCP politburo official Wang Huning (王滬寧) - a meeting for which they were not able to obtain any readout. 
The reason many constituents worry about such meetings is because Wang Huning is credited with being the CCP’s leading ideologist since the 1980s and is also the leader of the organization tasked with what the CCP call the “peaceful reunification of Taiwan". 

At the end of June, I went along to a neighborhood gathering at a small cafe in the Songshan district of Taipei. It was organized by the Wang Hung-wei recall group. 

I was interested to find out more about the group, hear more about the concerns that were causing them to recall Wang Hong Wei and get their reactions to the questions and accusations from the anti-recall camp.
