A light-hearted satire of China losing its influence in Hong Kong and Taiwan

Netizens on various social media platforms shared an old picture of Wong Zhiwen (right), Director of China’s Liaison Office in Hong Kong and Han Kuo-yu (left), Taiwan presidential candidate, sharing a gentlemen’s handshake.

This picture was specially selected to ridicule the loss of influence from the pro-Beijing powers in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

It was no coincidence that both of these gentlemen have recently been kicked out of their offices, one after another on January 4 and January 11.

Netizens also poked fun at the photo, leaving sarcastic comments such as describing this picture to be “China’s Way of Standing Together”.
