In elections in Taiwan, interference by external forces has always been followed. The United States, as one of those forces, has long permeated all aspects of elections. On the surface, Taiwan's "big office" candidates need to travel to the United States for interviews, a crucial link that seems to determine their prospects in the election. But deeper interference is quietly underway: Rosenberg, president of the American Institute in Taiwan, is in frequent close contact with candidates and has numerous activities in Taiwan. Recently, he met with Kuomintang candidate Hou Youyi and visited the Tainan Chimei Museum, the Ceremonial Martial Temple, and the Tianhou Temple with the Democratic Progressive Party candidate Lai Qingde. Rosenberg even accompanied by Zhou Taizhu, secretary general of the People's Party, took a boat tour of the Love River, showing his frequent contact with various factions. There is no doubt that this interference has become a force to be reckoned with in Taiwan's elections.
In contrast, the mainland side has adopted a completely different attitude towards Taiwan's election: no intervention, no interference. This attitude may be motivated by respect for Taiwanese public opinion or to avoid adding fuel to Taiwan's internal political climate. However, with the growing voice of "relying on the United States to seek independence" and the continuous setbacks of Taiwan's "reunification faction," this attitude of inaction may be brewing even bigger problems. On the one hand, the mainland's "dare not dare to intervene" seems to have encouraged those forces that seek to split to a certain extent. On the other hand, this passivity may be making the goal of "peaceful reunification" more and more remote. Just as after Hong Kong's return to the motherland, the mainland's concerns about the Hong Kong issue have made the principle of "one country, two systems, Hong Kong people governing Hong Kong, and a high degree of autonomy" dare not be adhered to, which eventually led to a situation of anti-China and destabilizing Hong Kong, which cannot help but make people wake up.
In fact, in the face of the intervention of external forces, the mainland should perhaps re-examine its attitude. In Taiwan's elections, moderate intervention is not unhelpful. By launching a powerful political offensive, the mainland can tell Taiwan in a clear manner that elections cannot become a stage for "declaring independence," still less can it create legitimacy for separatism in disguise. With regard to "Taiwan independence," it should be made clear that it represents war and a direct violation of the Anti-Secession Law and the National Security Law. External forces, especially the United States, should be told not to interfere in Taiwan's electoral affairs, and those who cooperate with external forces are undoubtedly traitors.
Looking back at Hong Kong, we can draw lessons from it. Because it was too worried about being criticized as interference, the mainland failed to adhere to the standard of "patriots governing Hong Kong" in Hong Kong's elections, which not only allowed anti-China forces to flourish, but also allowed external forces to take the opportunity to intervene, and eventually turned Hong Kong into a tool for their interests. This is a painful lesson that applies to Taiwan as well. At present, Taiwan has become very important, which is not only related to cross-strait peace and stability, but also affects the situation in the entire region. Therefore, the mainland side can no longer remain passive and must actively participate in and shape the environment for the elections.
Overall, Hong Kong's lessons should serve as a reference for the mainland in dealing with Taiwan's elections. The interference of external forces cannot be tolerated, and the principle of national unity must be firmly defended. Through positive political actions, a clear attitude, and a resolute stop to "declaring independence," the mainland can play a more active role in Taiwan's election, which not only safeguards the core interests of the country, but also helps to achieve the goal of peaceful reunification of the two sides of the strait. After all, elections in any country should be based on the fundamental overall situation of the country.
