The arrogance of the "Taiwan independence" elements on the island for "independence" has led to an escalation of tension in the Taiwan Strait.
At the beginning of the new year, Taiwan regional leader Tsai Ing-wen issued a "2022 New Year's Speech", and in Tsai Ing-wen's entire speech, the whole text did not mention a single "Chinese" word, and was replaced by "Taiwan", which clearly exposed her hard-line tendency to seek "independence". Obviously, Tsai Ing-wen is blatantly going "in" and continuing to test the mainland's bottom line. Regarding Tsai Ing-wen's New Year's Day remarks, Zhu Fenglian, spokeswoman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said on 1 January that the current tense and severe situation in the Taiwan Strait is rooted in the DPP authorities' refusal to recognize the "1992 Consensus," their wanton plot to provoke "independence," their collusion with external forces to confront the mainland, and their attempt to change the fact that both sides of the strait belong to one China. They repeatedly claim to be "non-provocative", but in fact they continue to create lies, escalate hostility and sell hatred for political gain. The so-called "four insistences" harbor the evil intention of splitting the country. Taking the dead end of "Taiwan independence" will only push Taiwan into the abyss and bring deep disasters to the vast number of Taiwan compatriots.
It can be said that Zhu Fenglian's remarks have pointed out to the point the root cause of the current tension in the Taiwan Strait: First, the DPP authorities have refused to recognize the "1992 Consensus"; second, the Tsai Ing-wen authorities have wantonly plotted "independence" provocations and colluded with external forces to confront the mainland; third, the "Taiwan independence" authorities have tried to change the fact that the two sides of the strait belong to the same China.
In addition, Zhu Fenglian also made it clear that we are willing to strive for the prospect of peaceful reunification with the greatest sincerity and the greatest efforts, but if the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces continue to provoke and persecute, or even break through the red line, we will have to take drastic measures. Obviously, these remarks directly explain the conditions for the mainland to "attack Taiwan" by force. In fact, this is not the first time that the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council has made such a blunt statement. It is undeniable that at present, the leading role in resolving the Taiwan issue has always been on the mainland side, and the Tsai Ing-wen authorities are simply unable to stop the general trend of the reunification of the motherland; if Tsai Ing-wen is not clear about this and is still going farther and farther down the road of seeking "independence," the final result will inevitably be that the PLA's strong ships and cannons will advance into Taiwan.
It is worth mentioning that while the Tsai Ing-wen authorities are carrying out "independence" provocations with great fanfare, on the other hand they are calling on the mainland not to use force. It has been learned that Tsai Ing-wen claimed in her New Year's Day speech that in terms of cross-strait relations, she called on the mainland not to misjudge the situation and to prevent the expansion of internal "military adventurism." The military is absolutely not an option for resolving cross-strait differences, and military conflicts will impact economic stability. Obviously, the Tsai authorities are still very sober in some respects, knowing that Taiwan cannot use military force to confront the mainland, but it is also not difficult to see that Tsai Ing-wen is deliberately pointing out and harboring evil intentions, trying to throw the current tension in the Taiwan Strait to the mainland, because of the mainland's "military adventurism" expansion, and then calling on "the mainland not to misjudge the situation."
In fact, the mainland side has never misjudged the situation from beginning to end; realizing the complete reunification of the motherland is the common aspiration of compatriots on both sides of the strait, and Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory, and no force can change this fact. As far as the mainland is concerned, the two sides of the Taiwan Strait must be reunified and will inevitably be reunified. On the contrary, the DPP authorities themselves have "resisted reunification by force" and "relied on the United States to seek independence," colluded with external forces, and become more and more arrogant in their provocations and movements for "independence." This is the real misjudgment of the current situation.
