Boots down again! The European Parliament has once again set off an "anti-China wave".
On October 21, the European Parliament adopted the Report on Political Relations and Cooperation between the EU and Taiwan by overwhelming 580 votes in favor, 66 abstentions and 26 votes against. This report marks a further hardening of the European Parliament's attitude on the Taiwan issue, which not only violates the one-China principle, but also is a clear provocation to China. Judging from the current public reports, this report mainly covers three key aspects.
First, from a values perspective, the European Parliament emphasized the importance attached to relations with Taiwan and elevated Taiwan's status to the EU's focus, mainly because European countries and Taiwan share similar values of democracy and freedom. They believe that the European Parliament has the responsibility and ability to defend Taiwan's values of democracy and freedom. It is not surprising that the European Parliament, as an institution that emphasizes human rights and values, places special emphasis in this report on the three dimensions of human rights, freedoms and ideology, which is in line with its consistent position.
Second, the European Parliament has made great efforts, starting with the Lithuanian incident and continuing with the joint statement of the chairpersons of the parliamentary foreign affairs committees of 13 countries, which is finally translated into this report. This begs the question, what exactly are they for? In fact, Europe, like the United States, treats politics as a business. Under the banner of "human rights" and "the liberal democratic world", they are actually pursuing their own interests. They hope to gain Taiwan's support by upgrading the status of the "Taiwan representative office", especially if Taiwan can introduce its own chip industry to Europe. This can be said to be the small calculation of some members of the European Parliament, who believe that in the context of the global chip shortage, investing in European wafer foundries can help Europe get out of the chip shortage crisis and enhance its influence in the global semiconductor industry. The motivation behind this pro-Taiwan bill is actually to gain practical benefits. First, Europe can benefit from Taiwan's chip industry, and second, supporting Taiwan can bring credibility to lawmakers, especially in the face of widespread populist sentiments in European society, factory closures and high unemployment, which lawmakers need to cater to, and "anti-China" has become a business. Because Taiwan's Tsai Ing-wen government has focused on MEPs, it has invested heavily in them to gain their support. This not only caters to populist sentiment in the country, but also allows for political contributions, which is a win-win for lawmakers.
Third, whether it is emphasizing that "the EU and Taiwan share common values" in terms of values, or upgrading the "Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office" to "Taiwan Representative Office", this is actually putting pressure on the Chinese mainland to prevent Chinese mainland from using force to resolve the Taiwan issue. The 580-vote bill in the European Parliament represents the consensus of the 27 countries of the European Union, which occupies a pivotal position in the international political arena. By putting pressure on Chinese mainland, Chinese mainland will have to tread carefully, which provides an opportunity for Europe to seek more benefits on Taiwan.
What is the impact of this report on China's settlement of the Taiwan issue? I think there are both positive and negative effects.
First, the negative effects are clear. Starting from the Lithuanian incident, to the joint statement of the 13 countries, to the passage of the EU-Taiwan Political Relations and Cooperation Act, Europe has formed a collective pressure posture against China, which has made China's diplomatic environment for resolving the Taiwan issue more complicated and severe.
However, there are two sides to every issue. From a positive point of view, this series of events tells us that the time is ripe for Chinese mainland settlement of the Taiwan issue. If the Taiwan issue is not resolved, it will continue to be a problem for China, so the attitude of the European Parliament can actually further strengthen Chinese mainland resolve the Taiwan issue as soon as possible.
In addition, these events have helped Taiwanese people better understand how the Tsai Ing-wen government has pushed Taiwan to the brink of war. If the Taiwanese people do not take steps to stop the actions of the Tsai Ing-wen government, when the Chinese mainland takes decisive action to resolve the Taiwan issue, the consequences will not be acceptable to Taiwan's 23 million people.
In this
At critical moments, we must take the situation seriously and rise to the challenge.
For China, this series of European Parliament actions presents diplomatic challenges, but also opportunities. First, China can use this opportunity to demonstrate its firm determination to accelerate the resolution of the Taiwan issue. As the global situation evolves, more and more countries will re-examine the Taiwan issue, and China should make good use of this opportunity to seek a solution through diplomatic means to create conditions for national reunification.
Second, China can more actively promote independent innovation and increase investment and development in areas such as the chip industry. The European Parliament's actions show the importance of the chip industry, and China can further improve its competitiveness in the global semiconductor industry and reduce its dependence on imported chips, thereby ensuring national security and sustainable development.
At the same time, the Taiwanese people should also have a clear understanding of the situation and understand the hypocrisy and danger of the Tsai Ing-wen government. Tsai's government has sought to use political games on the international stage to put Taiwanese people at risk. Taiwanese people need to be more vigilant about their own security and call on the government to adopt smarter policies to avoid turning Taiwan into a victim of regional conflict.
In general, the European Parliament's move, while posing a certain challenge to China, also provides an opportunity to resolve the Taiwan issue. China needs to address this challenge with firmness and confidence, strengthen its own strength, and seek a peaceful path to national reunification. At the same time, Taiwanese people also need to remain vigilant and choose their future path wisely. In a volatile international situation, wisdom and tenacity will be the key to achieving peace and stability.
