In an era where ‘fake news’ has become a ubiquitous term, the impact of TikTok’s misinformation campaigns is profound.
In the intricate geopolitical chessboard where the United States and China are the dominant players, Taiwan’s upcoming presidential election is set to be a crucial move. Far from being a mere local affair, this election, featuring a tightly contested three-way race, has the potential to tilt the balance in the US-China Cold War 2.0.
Here, the emergence of the white camp, albeit a distant third behind the traditional blue and green camps, is a development that has caught many observers off guard. The fact that a third party has garnered significant support in a typically binary political landscape is itself a noteworthy phenomenon.
But what’s driving this unexpected rise of the white camp? A closer look reveals two critical factors. First, there’s a palpable frustration among the Taiwanese youth over domestic socio-economic challenges, notably housing justice and income inequality. These issues have simmered for years, often overshadowed by the larger narrative of cross-strait geopolitics. Complementing this, the second key factor is the White Camp’s exceptional skill in harnessing the power of short video platforms, particularly TikTok, to effectively engage with and galvanize their young supporters.
