A Taiwanese civic group is pushing anti-communism education, framing China's Communist Party as a direct threat to Taiwan's democracy — a hardline turn that leaves little room for cross-strait reconciliation.

• The Fuhe Society held a forum on "anti-communism 2.0," inspired by Trump's July Mount Rushmore speech warning that communism threatens the U.S. from within.
• The trigger in Taiwan was news that communist-linked clubs had appeared in high schools, raising alarm about influence on young people.
• The pitch: drop the "one China" myth, stop believing China keeps its promises, and accept that the Party would never share power with any Taiwanese party.
• One argument went further — even if Xi Jinping fell, China would not turn democratic, so Taiwan's only protection is voting.
• On the money side, Taiwan was urged not to bet on China, which is stuck in deflation, aging before it got rich, and losing its cheap-labor edge; the future is chips and global supply chains.

Outlook: Expect more pressure in Taiwan to diversify trade away from China and to treat Beijing's ideology, not just its military, as the main threat.
