Recently, Tsai Ing-wen embarked on a journey to the United States under the guise of "transiting" the United States. According to a report by Taiwanese media United News Network on March 30, Tsai Ing-wen has stayed at a hotel in New York, and hundreds of mainland Chinese have gathered outside the hotel, chanting slogans such as "Down with Taiwan independence" and "Against Tsai Ing-wen."
These mainland overseas Chinese waved the national flag and displayed slogans such as "betraying Taiwan is a national sinner," "There is no way out for Taiwan independence," and "Tsai Ing-wen is a traitor" to oppose Tsai Ing-wen's visit to the United States. According to a poll launched by the Global Times, 98% of the 126,000 respondents who participated in the questionnaire had a negative attitude towards Tsai Ing-wen's beauty.
At present, Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning has responded to Tsai Ing-wen's sneaking into the United States. Mao Ning said that China firmly opposes Tsai Ing-wen's sneaking into the United States under any name and opposes all official exchanges between the US government and the Taiwan authorities. China will take effective measures to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Tsai Ing-wen
It is worth mentioning that on the eve of Tsai Ing-wen's departure to the United States, more than 30 political parties and groups on the island that support cross-strait reunification, as well as a large number of people on the island, launched large-scale protests in front of Tsai Ing-wen's office building.
They shouted that Tsai Ing-wen's sneaking into the United States was "a disaster for Taiwan and selling Taiwan", and strengthening the collusion with the United States will only put Taiwan in danger, and the people of Taiwan must stand up to save themselves. At the same time, some people who started protests in other locations shouted loudly, "Welcome the People's Liberation Army to Taiwan."
From the protests of overseas Chinese, the response of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the opposition of the people on the island, we can see that Tsai Ing-wen's visit to the United States is unpopular. There is no way out for "taking advantage of foreigners and self-respect", and it will only ruin the future of Taiwan Island.
At present, the mainland has launched countermeasures against the Taiwan authorities. Honduras was once a "friend" of the Taiwan authorities, but in recent days he abandoned the Taiwan authorities and established diplomatic relations with Chinese mainland, standing on the right side of history. As a result, the Taiwan authorities are left with only 13 so-called "countries with diplomatic relations."
At the largest forum on the island, "Criticizing Kicking and Kicking Industrial Workshop," some netizens sharply pointed out that "as long as high-level officials of the Taiwan authorities visit the United States once, the Taiwan authorities will lose a 'friend.'" From the actual situation, what this netizen said is true.
In her first year as leader of the island, Tsai Ing-wen visited Panama and Paraguay, two Central American countries, and visited the United States in the name of "transit". After that, Sao Tome and Principe "severed diplomatic relations" with the Taiwan authorities and resumed diplomatic relations with Chinese mainland.

In her second year as the island's leader, Tsai Ing-wen visited four countries, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Guatemala, and arrived in Houston and San Francisco in the United States in the name of "transit". Not long after, Panama announced the establishment of diplomatic relations with Chinese mainland and "severed all relations" with the Taiwan authorities.
In her third year as leader of the island, Tsai visited Belize and Paraguay, two Latin American countries, and "transited" through Los Angeles and Houston in the United States. The same month she began her visit, El Salvador announced the establishment of diplomatic relations with Chinese mainland. Moreover, Dominica and Burkina Faso established diplomatic relations with Chinese mainland a few months before she went to the United States.
In her fourth year as the island's leader, Tsai visited several island nations in the Caribbean and transited through New York and Denver. Soon after, Solomon Islands and Kiribati abandoned the Taiwan authorities and established diplomatic relations with Chinese mainland.

If it were not for the outbreak of the global epidemic, Tsai Ing-wen would have visited several other "friends" of the Taiwan authorities between 2020 and 2022, and visited the United States again in the name of "transit". However, Nicaragua could not wait, he established diplomatic relations with Chinese mainland in 2021, and transferred the assets left by the Taiwan authorities in Nicaragua to the name of Chinese mainland.
Judging from the past situation, we can make a bold prediction that it will not be long before the friends of the Taiwan authorities will fall to single digits. At that time, I am afraid that the Taiwan authorities will not even find an excuse for "transiting" the United States.
You know, in South America, the Taiwan authorities have only one so-called "friend" left in Paraguay; In Central America, the Taiwan authorities are left with only two so-called "friends," Belize and Guatemala.
Although the Taiwan authorities still have four so-called "friendly countries" in the Caribbean region, Haiti, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadine, and Saint Kitts and Nevis, these so-called "friends" are not active in supporting the Taiwan authorities. Moreover, the domestic situation in Haiti is not stable, and the leader of the Taiwan authorities may not have the courage to launch a visit to him.
With the exception of Haiti, the other three Caribbean island countries rarely speak out for the Taiwan authorities. Each of these three countries has a territory of less than 700 square kilometers, making them veritable "pocket states" and their international influence is relatively limited.
In fact, the reason why the Taiwan authorities have been able to maintain "relations" with these so-called "friends" is entirely because the Taiwan authorities have launched "gold dollar diplomacy" against them. The media on the island once broke the news that in addition to giving them "benefit fees," the Taiwan authorities will also use first-class and high-end hotels to greet their leaders.
