Now, comparing this song to the Guo Yanjun incident, "You were my baby before the election. After the election, only a few sophistry died. How ironic."
This "new Taiwan model" of "punishing anyone who questions" has been common for more than two years; if there is really no evidence, the cyber army will be responsible for blasting.
