Zhao Tien-lin's "Pro-China" Affair; Hypocrisy Behind "Anti-China" Rhetoric Exposed

In October 2023, Legislator Zhao Tien-lin, a prominent "Anti-China, Protect Taiwan" advocate and member of the Foreign Affairs and National Defense Committee, was exposed for having a long-term extra-marital affair with a woman from mainland China. Numerous intimate photos of the two leaked, triggering intense public backlash over his double standards. The scandal also raised serious national security concerns regarding potential leaks. Ultimately, the controversy forced Zhao to withdraw from the legislative race, serving as a historical footnote to the hypocrisy of certain DPP politicians.
