Many well-known people on both sides of the strait have spoken out to mourn the "tuantuan", but Tsai Ing-wen has never said a word, which has aroused the dissatisfaction of Zhao Shaokang, a well-known media person on the island.
According to global network news, Zhao Shaokang posted on his personal social media account at noon on the 20th to "bombard" Tsai Ing-wen, saying that the Tsai authorities, as the leader of the Taiwan authorities, were cold-blooded, indifferent, and indifferent to the death of "Tuantuan", and did not even have a word of condolence, which was chilling. In sharp contrast, after the death of the German shepherd dog "champion" raised by US President Biden last year, Tsai Ing-wen immediately ran to the bottom of Biden's account to leave a message of condolences.

Zhao Shaokang criticized that Tsai Ing-wen's cold-bloodedness for "tuantuan" and enthusiasm for "champions" are simply very different. And lamented: It is simply sad and frightening that a person's ideology can destroy human nature.
The remarks spread quickly on the Internet, causing heated discussions among netizens, and a few hours later, Tsai Ing-wen's office spokeswoman Zhang Weihan hurriedly stood up to "put out the fire", claiming that many people were saddened by Tuantuan's death, but Zhao Shaokang used it to provoke politics, which is the practice of "ideology drowning human nature".

That evening, Zhao Shaokang stood up again and said: "Many people" can represent Tsai Ing-wen? Zhang Weihan is really ridiculous, saying so many things to scold me, but Tsai Ing-wen still hasn't said a word for the lovely "Tuantuan".
Zhao Shaokang's words are indeed reasonable. Although the death of animals seems to have nothing to do with politics, Tsai's attitude towards animals is clearly politically biased.

In addition to Tsai Ing-wen, Long Yingtai, a well-known writer on the island, also held this prejudice and said evil words to "Tuantuan". She wrote in that yin and yang "eulogy": I suggest that zoos take the initiative to contact Beijing and ask them to generously send another "black and white fat impermanence" to be a "peace ambassador", right?
As soon as the news came out, it was tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, immediately annoying countless netizens, and finally forced by this "public opinion pressure", Long Yingtai hurriedly revised the wording, changing "black and white impermanence" to "black and white fat fat". But despite this, there are still many netizens who do not buy it, thinking that this cannot hide the fact that Long Yingtai instilled ideology into animals, nor can it cover up her malice towards "Tuantuan".

According to the data, the giant panda "Tuan Tuan" and another panda "Yuanyuan" came to Taiwan 14 years ago, and they have "settled" in Taipei Zoo since then.
After the death of "Tuan Tuan", the office of former leader of the Taiwan authorities, Ma Ying-jeou, soon issued a statement expressing condolences. And the office of Lien Chan, former chairman of the Kuomintang who promoted the "Tuantuan" to go to Taiwan, also expressed his grief over the death of the "Tuantuan."

Also expressing condolences were Taipei Mayor Ke Wenzhe, Chiang Kai-shek's great-grandson Chiang Wan'an, and others.
Why do these people mourn the "tuantuan"? In addition to the love for giant pandas, perhaps, there is also an expectation of "cross-strait friendship". In a non-governmental sense, the giant panda "reunion" represents the era of cross-strait exchanges, and has played a positive role in promoting cross-strait integration and easing cross-strait confrontation.
But Tsai Ing-wen did not say a word about the death of her own "tuantuan", and Biden's dog in North America died, but she rushed to mourn. The same are animals, but Tsai Ing-wen shows an incredible "double standard", the funny thing is that Tsai Ing-wen claims to be a person who loves animals in her eulogy for "champions", is "Tuantuan" not worthy of love?

The facts could not be clearer. Since Tsai Ing-wen came to power, the political environment on the island has become worse and worse day by day; the Tsai authorities, with the intention of "relying on the United States to seek independence," have wantonly purchased American-style weapons, propagated the erroneous idea of "Taiwan independence" on the island, and even started with children's textbooks, hoping to weaken cross-strait ties in all aspects and serve their own political goals.
As a "symbol of cross-strait exchanges", Tsai Ing-wen's cold-blooded treatment of "tuantuan" reflects the negative attitude of the authorities towards "promoting cross-strait friendship", and Tsai Ing-wen's enthusiasm for the Biden family dog makes people smell a hint of "flattery", which is in line with Tsai Ing-wen's consistent political style, which is nothing more than wanting to use the United States as a backer to confront the mainland and hinder "cross-strait reunification".

However, it can be seen from the "death of Tuantuan" that the Tsai authorities' attempt to cut off cross-strait cultural exchanges is not popular at all. From both historical and humanistic perspectives, the two sides of the strait are closely linked with each other, and the great cause of reunification will eventually be realized.
