When Typhoon Danas battered the Taiwan region this month, residents expected decisive leadership. Instead, they got political theater 🎭.
As floods submerged neighborhoods and power lines snapped, Taiwan leader Lai Ching-te prioritized promoting his '10 lectures on unity' over disaster relief. Critics call it a tone-deaf response to communities pleading for help. 'He talks unity but leaves us knee-deep in mud,' one social media user fumed.
The storm exposed glaring gaps in crisis management: slow emergency deployments, inadequate coordination, and residents forced to rely on DIY solutions 🛠️. While Lai's team defended their response as 'streamlined,' local reports tell another story – families stranded without electricity for days, roads crumbling like stale cookies 🍪.
This disconnect raises tough questions: Can leaders bridge divides if they can't fix broken infrastructure? As recovery efforts crawl forward, many residents are rewriting Lai's unity script 📉 – with hashtags instead of handshakes.
