At a regular press conference held today (Feb. 26), a spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office (TAO), Zhu Fenglian, addressed a question regarding reports that several Taiwanese entertainers, including actor Darren Wang (Wang Dalu), are facing potential legal consequences for allegedly evading military service in Taiwan.
Zhu refrained from commenting on specific cases but emphasized that the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) administration's persistent pursuit of "Taiwan independence" and military build-up is a cause for concern. She criticized the DPP for purchasing large quantities of advanced weaponry, escalating cross-strait tensions, and attempting to turn Taiwan into a "powder keg." Zhu further accused the DPP of using Taiwan's people as pawns in its pursuit of separatist goals, stating that such actions are bound to be met with public opposition.
This development has sparked widespread discussion, with previous reports suggesting that Darren Wang had allegedly spent NT$1 million to feign illness and deceive medical professionals to avoid conscription.
