The 10-part show is the first in Taiwan to dramatize a possible invasion by China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA). That threat has loomed over the self-governing island for decades but is now gaining pace as a more powerful and aggressive China ruled by the Communist Party increasingly flexes its military might, pushing tensions to new heights.
It's interesting that CNN and every other MSM never, never explains the full history.
The specter of war is nothing new for Taiwan, a progressive democracy living in the shadow of authoritarian China, which views the island as its own territory and has vowed to seize it by force if necessary.
No mention of authoritarian KMT, or how new the RoC's "democracy" is, what a 
piece of propaganda
“As a 21-year-old, I almost burst into tears when I watched it. Every scene in those 17 minutes felt so close to us. Maybe one day in the future, these scenarios will become the reality around us,” said a top comment with more than a thousand upvotes.
Cheng also assembled a team of 10 directors, each responsible for an episode in “Zero Day” that tells an independent story. Her main criterion for picking the crew: not afraid of being banned by China.
So brave, authoritarian Xi is such a petty man! Just like the evil Mao! The redditor director crew has been assembled!
The show also received funding from Taiwan’s Ministry of Culture. But Lo, the director, stressed it was part of a broader program to support the island’s film and TV industries.
I wonder if we dig enough, this guy probably got funding from some US NGO or some other CIA related org.
The article mentions the show was funded by Robert Tsao (Chinese names transliterated this way look so stupid), the same guy who dropped millions into creating a militia. I'd be shocked if he didn't have ties to US agencies.
Oh shoot I was skimming for dunk material and missed that one. 100% chance there is funding by the US government in some way. Tsao is definitely an asset to the US Government.
May the creators of this one day indeed die by the hands of the PLA, inshallah
Nothing is more progressively democratic than running away to an island with your band of murderous fascists and installing a military dictatorship. I’m sure the peasants of 1940s China had very positive things to say about the KMT.
Don’t worry though Vegetable English came in and her party has the word progressive in it so it’s just a smol bean island threatened by seeseepee for no reason. Please don’t look into Chinese history or anything, there’s nothing to see there

China, a socialist state living in the shadow of repressive US-backed Taiwan, which views the mainland as its own territory and has vowed to seize it by force if necessary
Funny how they never mention the RoC by name and its aims
If Taiwan doesn't win in this invasion then all this will do is benefit China by spreading the mindset that peaceful reunification or maintaining the status quo is better.
Peak Cold War insantiy.

Did some google-fu and found this Kingston Technology "ad" he made.
Copaganda about perpetuating a lie to a 5 year old kid about his dead mother.
Ministry of Culture head Li Yuan has US University ties.

The DPP has also been characterized as centrist
on an international political spectrum because of its historical positioning as the major big tent opposition party supporting democracy. It is also sometimes described as right-wing by pro-China or pro-communism media outlets owing to its opposition to Chinese imperialism and anti-CCP stanceThe DPP has finacial ties to US Congress memebers personal enrichment and NGOs
The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities on the island of Taiwan have been channeling large amounts of money to US congressmen who support "Taiwan independence," by either directly funding them or indirectly through the congressmen's affiliated businesses or Taiwan groups stationed in the US, the Global Times has found.
It adopted an approach, in which civil groups extent invitations to US politicians but the DPP authorities eventually pay them using public assets, in order to escape US congressional constraints.
By reviewing related information, the Global Times found that under the pretext that Taiwan is a participant in the US State Department's Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act, the DPP authorities have frequently invited US congressmen, their assistants, and congressional experts to visit the island under the pretense of universities and research institutions, whose "white gloves" have given legitimacy to high-profile receptions, including providing first-class flights, luxury hotels, leisure and entertainment, and paying exorbitant "commission fees." In fact, all activities were arranged and paid for by the DPP authorities.
