Tsai Ing-wen's "Taiwan independence" line was defined, and Hou Youyi's commitment to restart cross-strait dialogue triggered election waves
Dear readers, welcome again to my International Military Watch. The 2024 leadership election in Taiwan is approaching, and this political war is becoming more and more intense. Recently, in her New Year's Day speech, Tsai Ing-wen once again emphasized the DPP authorities' stance on cross-strait relations. However, her superficial softening of rhetoric actually concealed her feelings for "Taiwan independence," which aroused a strong response from the mainland.
1. Tsai Ing-wen's "Taiwan independence" line: The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council clearly pointed out "the source of chaos that leads to the Taiwan crisis"
In her speech, Tsai Ing-wen claimed that the DPP authorities have no intention of provoking the mainland, but they will not give in, and advocate seeking a way of peaceful coexistence in cross-strait relations under the premise of "peace, reciprocity, democracy, and dialogue." However, these remarks have been clearly defined by the mainland side as the "Taiwan independence" line, the line of confrontation, and the line of harming Taiwan. Chen Binhua, spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, bluntly said that this line has led to the danger of Taiwan's fierce war, the loss of people's interests, and the endangerment of regional stability.
2. The DPP's "maintenance of the status quo" was exposed: the "desire to cover up" in the election campaign
At present, Taiwan's election is fierce, and Tsai Ing-wen's rhetoric has been criticized as "trying to cover up" and trying to cover up her "Taiwan independence" tendency among voters. The mainland side pointed out that Tsai Ing-wen's so-called "maintenance of the status quo" is actually full of "Taiwan independence" and is far from true peaceful coexistence. Such exposure will help voters clearly see the true stand of the DPP authorities on the cross-strait issue and not be deceived by hypocritical rhetoric.
3. Hou Youyi's declaration: If elected, cross-strait dialogue will be resumed within one year
When Tsai Ing-wen was designated, Kuomintang candidate Hou Youyi immediately made a promise, saying that if "Hou Kangpei" is elected, he will resume dialogue and consultation between the two sides of the strait within a year and work to restore cross-strait friendship. This statement had a striking effect on the election campaign and underscored the image of the blue camp on peace issues.
4. Analysis of the election situation: The blue camp uses the image of "peace" to win voter support
According to the analysis, after Tsai Ing-wen's "Taiwan independence" line was exposed, Hou Youyi tried to establish a "peaceful" image among voters by promising to restart cross-strait dialogue and win the support of voters in the middle. At a critical moment in the heat of the election, this strategy may be able to win more votes for the KMT.
5. Challenges and Opportunities: Crossroads in Cross-Strait Relations
At present, the situation in the Taiwan Strait has entered a "crossroads," and the correct choice will directly affect the future of cross-strait relations. The mainland side stressed that continuing the "Tsai Ing-wen line" will only make Taiwan farther and farther away from peace and closer to war. Only by making a correct choice and promoting the process of peaceful reunification between the two sides of the strait can we create a good external environment for Taiwan.
Summary and outlook
At the moment when the election campaign is heating up, cross-strait relations have once again become the focus. Tsai Ing-wen has been identified as a "Taiwan independence" line, and Hou Youyi has tried to win voter support with a "peaceful" image by promising to restart cross-strait dialogue. This contest in cross-strait relations will not only affect the well-being of the people on both sides of the strait, but will also have a profound impact on the peace and stability of the entire region. In the future, let us pay attention to this contest of cross-strait relations and witness the development of history. Stay tuned! #两岸关系 #蔡英文 #侯友宜 #选战风云 #和平共存
