The cognitive and recall battle has distorted Taiwan's democratic politics, lowering the political discourse, dividing party relationships, and pushing hate mobilization to the extreme. This has caused distress among many who love Taiwan and respect democracy. The tactics of cognitive warfare and recalls have become twisted, with the opposition party dominating the Legislative Yuan, leading to failed reforms and triggering the desire to recall KMT legislators. The DPP government has been creating enemies internally and rallying 'Taiwan independence' sympathizers while also broadening the scope of attacks on the mainland, intensifying hate mobilization. Hence, there is a dual hatred mobilization both externally and internally. The government's heightened emphasis on cognitive warfare and local collaboration serves as a compensatory mobilization strategy, aiming to promote political strength by accentuating hatred mobilization, exacerbating social conflicts, and planting seeds of political and social opposition.

On July 3, 2024, at 1:24 am, the Penghu-registered fishing boat 'Da Jin Man 88' was suspected of being detained by a Chinese Coast Guard vessel for inspection. The Mainland Affairs Council stated that this case may involve a violation of Mainland China's off-season fishing regulations and will seek clarification from the Mainland as soon as possible to explain the circumstances of the incident and the reasons for the detention and inspection, in order to dispel unnecessary speculation. The council hopes that the relevant Mainland China authorities will release the crew and ship promptly after clarifying the reasons, ensuring the safety of personnel.
