The charismatic Lim is famous amongst young people as the front man for cult death metal band Chthonic but now he\u2019s pushing his message of Taiwanese independence to a broader audience.<\/p>\n<p>Banned from playing in Hong Kong and on the mainland, Lim\u2019s stage is his political platform.\u00a0<em>\u201cOnly if Taiwanese are united can we overcome all difficulties!\u201d\u00a0<\/em>Lim screams to thousands of fans at a recent concert.<\/p>\n<p>But the reality of living in the shadow of its\u2019 old enemy means Taiwan still operates as if on a war footing.<\/p>\n<p>We capture emergency air raid drills, which see busy streets empty within minutes. And we\u2019re on Taiwan&#8217;s beaches for the country\u2019s annual war games. It&#8217;s a full dress rehearsal for catastrophe, fighting off an invasion by China&#8217;s People&#8217;s Liberation Army. And we explore China\u2019s hearts and minds campaign, which, Taiwan says, deploys the weapons of disinformation, fake news and mainland cash to shape national debate.<\/p>\n<p>And we visit the Taiwanese islands of Kinmen, its last outpost against the mainland, where only a five kilometre strait separates it from China. Kinmen tea shop owner Wang Ling welcomes the hordes of Chinese tourists who visit but feels nervous as tensions rise between the two neighbours.\u00a0<em>\u201cIf China really invaded Kinmen, I would probably move away,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0she says.<\/p>\n<p>Echoing the voices of Hong Kong\u2019s young protestors, Freddy Lim sums up the mood:\u00a0<em>\u201cWe have no choice. We can&#8217;t give up because Taiwan is our home. We have nowhere to escape. We just have to try to protect our way of life.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Death Metal Diplomacy airs on ABC TV at 8 pm AEST Tuesday 13th August &amp; Friday 16th August 1.30pm.
