Blind Mystic's Prophecy Stirs Taiwan; Expert Urges Unity, Dismisses Infighting

Online prophecies predicting a world war involving Taiwan in 2026 have caused unease, prompting folk expert Liao Da-yi to address the concerns. Liao, who claims his own past predictions have been accurate, urged the public to remain calm and not be swayed by internet rumors.

“

It is absolutely impossible for a great power to want to unify or annex a small country; whether a small country can unify or influence a great power depends on heaven's will and the times.

He advised against "looking at the bowl while eating from it" and cautioned against succumbing to despair or internal conflict. Liao stressed the importance of having faith in Taiwan's ability to withstand external pressures.

“

We don't need to look at the bowl while eating from it, worry about things beyond our control, or get discouraged or even 'fight amongst ourselves'.

"It is absolutely impossible for a great power to want to unify or annex a small country; whether a small country can unify or influence a great power depends on heaven's will and the times," Liao stated. He called for national unity and cooperation, emphasizing that by working together, Taiwan can face any international changes with its own strength.

As long as we join hands and hearts, and work hard with our own strength, we don't have to fear any changes in the international situation!
