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.
May the creators of this one day indeed die by the hands of the PLA, inshallah
