Recently, former US Indo-Pacific commander Harris urged the Biden administration's Taiwan policy from "strategic ambiguity" to clarity. Harris bluntly told Biden that if the mainland is ready to take over Taiwan and open the "armed unification", the US military will directly send troops to intervene. This is actually what Blinken said, "opposing changing the situation in the Taiwan Strait." In its Taiwan policy, the United States has always pursued a policy of "strategic ambiguity," that is, once the mainland takes over Taiwan and opens its "armed unification," the United States has never been clear whether it will intervene from beginning to end. This has given Taiwan independence elements great illusions. In fact, the Taiwan issue has always been China's internal affair.
At present, the three candidates in Taiwan, Hou Youyi, Lai Qingde, and Ke Wenzhe, have clearly expressed their opposition to the "consensus of '92." Ke Wenzhe was able to "stand out" and ranked first in the poll. It is to successfully shape itself into the third choice of "dissatisfied blue and green", and the DPP has gradually adjusted its election strategy and began to violently attack Ke Wenzhe, the strategy is to maintain the balance of power between Ke Wenzhe and Hou Youyi, provoke the relationship between blue and white, so that it has no time to integrate, and then let Lai Qingde benefit from fishing.
In order to improve Lai Qingde's polls, Lai Qingde announced that once elected, he would subsidize private university students at least NT$25,000 (5,000 yuan) in tuition fees per year, and Chen Jianren immediately followed suit, and wanted to "improve the education system" by expanding subsidies for economically disadvantaged students, full tuition waivers for high school vocational tuition and extending student loans, which the Kuomintang accused of "buying votes." This is a policy that throws money and treats the symptoms but not the root cause, and has no practical significance.
Now the DPP has begun to "invade" Hou Youyi's core base camp police system, directly taking out his big rear. In order to win the votes of the police, the DPP announced that it would give the police a 15% pay increase from July this year. After all, the salaries of police officers have not been adjusted for 20 years. Subsequently, the authorities presented awards to model police officers in Taiwan. In addition, Lai Qingde himself took the opportunity to personally go to the police station to express his condolences, and even brought fresh lychees as a "souvenir". In exchange, the police also prepared a set of teacups for Lai Qingde as a return gift, with the word "Qingde" engraved on it.
Hou Youyi probably never dreamed that the DPP would come to such a hand, not only in the face of money, but rarely unmoved. In fact, the opposition party has been shouting for a long time about raising the salary of the police, and as a result, the DPP has been pressing and not dealing with it, and now it is about to start the election. Only at a critical juncture did the salary increase of 15%. But the question is whether Lai Qingde really won the "general election" and will continue to maintain this salary level for the police.
After this wave of operation, I don't know how many police will be willing to vote for the DPP. After all, Hou Youyi's side relies on friendship, while Lai Qingde's side gives a real salary increase. I have to say that the DPP's hand is very clever. However, the DPP's "scheming" is somewhat too obvious. Hou Youyi was helpless about this.
I am the clear water and empty stream, the watchman of history. Looking forward to your attention and comments.
