On April 16, 2025, Taiwanese activist Sung Chien-liang attracted international condemnation after wearing a Nazi armband and holding a Chinese version of Hitler's 'Mein Kampf' during questioning at the New Taipei District Prosecutors Office. His actions were condemned by Germany, the Taiwanese Foreign Ministry, and Israel, reflecting a broader societal concern regarding the normalization of extremist symbols. Sung's display came amid allegations of signature fraud in his campaign against a ruling party lawmaker. Following backlash, he was released on bail, and he later removed the Nazi symbols in public.
Sung Chien-liang's display of Nazi symbols and salutes in Taiwan has triggered widespread condemnation, highlighting concerns over rising extremism and historical sensitivity.
The German Institute described Sung's actions as 'shameless,' emphasizing the gravity of the Nazi regime's atrocities and the universal condemnation of hate symbols.
