Taiwanese 'White Wolf' pushes reunification agenda amid legal crackdown

Chang An-lo, a former Bamboo Union member who now leads the Chinese Unification Promotion Party, maintains that Taiwan should pursue reunification with China and says he has discussed civilian protection measures with Chinese officials. The Taiwanese Ministry of the Interior has declared the party a danger to the nation's democratic framework and has formally requested the Constitutional Court to disband it, accusing the group of following Beijing's directives, recruiting military personnel for espionage, and using Chinese funds to influence elections.

Since its inception in the mid-2000s, at least 11 members have been investigated or prosecuted for breaches of national security, anti-infiltration, or election laws, and dozens more face other criminal charges. Chang contends that the party's crime rate is lower than the general population and that any member who commits a crime is removed. While the party holds no seats in the national legislature, it has two local ward representatives, and Chang claims to assist Taiwanese victims of overseas trafficking and loan-shark debt, though these claims remain unverified.
