The Taiwan authorities were deeply disturbed by the fact that 500 retired Taiwan military officers were invited to the mainland to participate in activities, and many senior officials issued warnings and even openly clamored that they should not fall into the mainland's "united front trap." What the hell is going on?
According to Taiwan media reports, as many as 500 retired officers of the Taiwan military were invited by the mainland to form groups to participate in the 99th anniversary of the Whampoa Military Academy. As we all know, the Whampoa Military Academy, founded in 1924, is a famous military school in modern Chinese history, and has trained a large number of military talents for China's modern revolutionary cause. For historical reasons, many retired military officers in Taiwan are inextricably linked to the Whampoa Military Academy. If what the Taiwan media said this time is true, then these 500 retired officers of the Taiwan military were invited by the mainland to participate in the 99th anniversary commemoration meeting of the Whampoa Military Academy.
However, it is obvious that the Taiwan authorities did not treat this matter as an ordinary incident of normal cross-strait exchanges, but instead a number of high-ranking officials stepped forward one after another and issued very stern warnings to the 500 retired military officers who participated in this activity.
For example, Luo Jiqin, president of Taiwan's "Army Official School" Alumni Association, claimed that this time the mainland has become the organizer of the Whampoa Military Academy commemoration event, while Taiwan has become a cooperative, which is obviously that the mainland wants to "rob Whampoa orthodoxy." She reminded these retired officers of the Taiwan military who went to the mainland to participate in the activities, asking them to pay attention to their personal speech and not to "mislead" the people on the island of Taiwan.
For example, Qiu Guozheng, head of Taiwan's defense department, also said that the "solemn statement" of the alumni association is the position of the defense department, and asked these retired officers to go through legal procedures, even if they are discharged, they need to be consistent with the ideas of the Taiwan authorities, and absolutely cannot take the initiative to provide their own opinions on the Taiwan Strait issue.
Feng Shikuan, chairman of the "Retired Auxiliary Association" under the Taiwan authorities, openly stated that Taiwan is the "orthodoxy" of the Whampoa Military Academy, and everything in the Whampoa Military Academy is here. If these 500 retired officers want to participate in the Whampoa Military Academy commemoration, they can do so directly in Taiwan and do not have to go to the mainland. Not only that, Feng Shikuan also openly clamored that this was obviously the mainland's "united front strategy" and hoped that they would not fall into the mainland's "united front trap."
It can be seen from the shouts and clamors of many high-ranking officials of the Taiwan authorities one after another that the Taiwan authorities can be said to be very uneasy about this matter. It must be known that in recent times, the collusion between the "United States and Taiwan" has been constantly strengthened, and recently some media have directly exposed the news that Taiwan leader Tsai Ing-wen is about to steal the United States. In the face of this increasingly crazy and arrogant move by the Taiwan authorities, the mainland has also issued a very stern warning to him.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning said not long ago: "I want to stress that China resolutely opposes any form of official exchanges between the United States and Taiwan, resolutely opposes the sneaking of the leaders of 'Taiwan independence' separatists into the United States under any name and for any reason, and resolutely opposes any form of contact between the United States and 'Taiwan independence' separatists in violation of the one-China principle." You know, when the mainland called Tsai Ing-wen before, it generally referred to her as the "leader of the Taiwan region", but this time, the mainland directly referred to her as the leader of the "Taiwan independence" separatists. The meaning of the change of title before and after can be said to be very intriguing.
In addition, Chiu Tai-san, director of the Mainland Affairs Council of the Taiwan authorities, recently submitted a report directly to Taiwan's legislature, in which he openly declared that the mainland has changed its Taiwan policy and is promoting cross-strait reunification by alternating the use of "soft and hard strategies." For example, the mainland is seeking to discuss the issue of reunification with Taiwanese enterprises and other institutions "through various channels", which is a manifestation of "soft"; The mainland has continuously intensified its crackdown on "Taiwan independence" forces and foreign forces, and this is the embodiment of "hardness." From this point of view, the Taiwan authorities are actually quite worried about the situation in the Taiwan Strait at present.
However, it should be pointed out that accomplishing the great cause of the motherland's reunification is the trend of the times and the aspiration of the people, and the Taiwan authorities should have a clear understanding of the situation as soon as possible, abandon the unrealistic idea of "Taiwan independence," and strive to join the historical process of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
