Taiwan may have been imagining that the United States is its backer, which has led to an exaggerated judgment of Taiwan's own strength and actually wants to counter Chinese mainland. Recently, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council made a statement that it would severely punish the "Taiwan independence" diehards on the list in accordance with the law, and the Mainland Affairs Commission of Taiwan went so far as to say that it would take necessary countermeasures at an appropriate time.
In order to warn "Taiwan independence" elements not to stir up trouble, Zhu Fenglian, spokeswoman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, announced in response to a reporter's question on 5 November that the Chinese mainland would sanction Su Zhenchang, You Xikun, Wu Zhaoxie, and a very small number of "Taiwan independence" diehards in accordance with the law, prohibit them from Chinese mainland and hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions with their families, block their sources of funds on the mainland, prohibit their affiliated enterprises and their financiers from seeking profits on the mainland, and prohibit them from cooperating with mainland enterprises. This news is undoubtedly a major blow to the diehards of "Taiwan independence."
After speaking at the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, Former Taiwan Leader Ma Ying-jeou issued a document on November 7 reiterating that the "1992 Consensus" is the common political foundation of the two sides of the strait, and at the same time calling on the DPP to abide by the "1992 Consensus," safeguard cross-strait peace, and avoid war and peace. However, the Taiwan authorities do not seem to appreciate it, and this time the Taiwan Mainland Affairs Commission directly said that it would counter Chinese mainland punitive measures against "Taiwan independence" elements. Where is the confidence, out of this wild talk, but also want to counter the Chinese mainland, is simply nonsense.
In fact, the Taiwan Mainland Affairs Commission has been provoking China, like a beam-jumping clown. In March of this year, Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council declared that "Taiwan has never belonged to the People's Republic of China, and Taiwan belongs only to the people of Taiwan." The Macedon's statement completely disregards the historical truth and provokes Chinese mainland has no bottom line. On 14 October this year, Qiu Taisan, chairman of the Mainland Affairs Council of Taiwan, said that the Chinese mainland "has reached a quasi-war state layout" and wants to use this to coerce the will of the people in Taiwan, deceive international public opinion, and achieve the goal of seeking "independence."
Why do netizens on both sides of the strait only find it funny instead of being angry because the strength of the Chinese mainland and Taiwan is so different. Taiwan is only a province, and its military strength naturally cannot match that of the mainland. Taking the PLA military plane's patrol of the southwest airspace of the Taiwan Sea during the National Day period, Tsai Ing-wen was so frightened that she shouted to the Chinese mainland to "avoid wiping the gun and misfire", afraid that the Chinese mainland would come hard. In addition, the Taiwan soldier has long been ridiculed by netizens on the island as a strawberry soldier, and this title continues to this day.
It is precisely because the military strength of the two sides of the strait is not comparable that the Taiwan Mainland Affairs Commission has been making these absurd remarks, and Chinese mainland netizens will regard these statements as jokes. Mainland netizen Gao Zan commented, "Chinese mainland Taiwan want to counter? Then give him another slap until Taiwan doesn't dare to say it. ”
The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council also responded to the Taiwan Mainland Affairs Council's threat to counter the mainland, saying that it is a legitimate act to deal with "Taiwan independence" elements according to law, and the mainland side will pay close attention to relevant trends and resolutely crack down on any form of "Taiwan independence" behavior.
The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council also replied to netizens who urgently hoped for cross-strait reunification. On 10 November, Zhu Fenglian said in response to a question from mainland netizens calling for "armed reunification" that cross-strait reunification is the common aspiration of the sons and daughters of the Chinese nation, and Taiwan will definitely return. Chinese mainland will persist in striving for the prospect of peaceful reunification with the greatest sincerity and the greatest efforts.
The first wish of the mainland is, of course, to achieve peaceful reunification, and the people of the Chinese mainland must also trust the judgment of the state and not be too impulsive. The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council has also stated before that we do not commit ourselves to renouncing the use of force and reserve the option of taking all necessary measures. Chinese mainland will not give up the use of military action, but it will not use force easily, and we must not be confused by such a clown as the Taiwan Mainland Affairs Commission.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said in solidarity with China in October that "Chinese mainland does not need to use force, and the goal of reunification can be achieved by relying on economic strength." As Putin said, we must have confidence in our own economic influence, peaceful reunification will certainly be realized, and the people on both sides of the strait will certainly be able to work together to make the motherland stronger.
