zhu lilun said that it is a shame for democracy that the taiwan authorities use such a high budget to manipulate the media, command cyber armies for self-propaganda, and even attack the opposition party. taiwan should have confidence in itself instead of using a large budget to brag about itself or even use cyber armies to attack the opposition party.

zhu lilun said that all legislators, including those from the democratic progressive party, should stand in the perspective of the taiwanese people and save the money to help vulnerable groups, take good care of the next generation or increase infrastructure, rather than wasting it on creating cyber armies, attacking the opposition party or self-promotion.
