Recently, the central figure of the topic on the Internet is none other than Xiao Meiqin. The figure who has been active on the political front line has recently made a mysterious and remarkable trip to Europe. Her whereabouts in the Czech Republic have been of particular interest, with claims that she has been tracked and even been implicated in a car crash. Is there a deeper story behind this?
In other words, Xiao Meiqin, the backbone of "Taiwan independence", has always been mysterious, no, some time ago she quietly fled to the United States, and then went to Europe, and her whereabouts are as mysterious as a character in a detective novel. But in this era of developed information, no matter how careful and meticulous the eyes are, it is difficult to escape monitoring, and Xiao Meiqin's itinerary naturally cannot be hidden from the relevant departments.
Just when everyone was still speculating about what her next step would be, Taiwanese media suddenly broke a piece of news, saying that Xiao Meiqin was not only tracked during her visit to the Czech Republic in Europe, but also had a car accident. It sounds very dramatic, like a scene in a movie. Xiao Meiqin seems to want to use this incident to create her image of a "war cat", a little tragic feeling, as if she is fighting alone for a certain righteousness.
But it doesn't seem to be going according to her script. Taiwan media reported that when she was in the Czech Republic, she found that she was being followed, probably because of the panic and improper operation of the car, which caused such an oolong as a car accident. After the so-called "representative office" of the Czech Republic, the Taiwan authorities even went out of their way to accuse the mainland of spying on Hsiao Mei-qin and demanding that the Czech side take action against these "surveillance" personnel. It seems that Xiao Meiqin really takes herself seriously.
The problem, however, is that the Czech Republic has formal diplomatic relations with China, and Taiwan can only secretly rent a place to set up a so-called "representative office" there, and it does not even have the word "sovereignty" in mind. In other words, even if it is really because of some conflicts, Xiao Meiqin and his gang can only admit it, after all, on the international stage, strength is the root of speaking.
This incident not only made Xiao Meiqin panic, but her close friend Tsai Ing-wen was also sad. According to recent reports, Tsai Ing-wen has been unable to sleep at night because of the simulated strike plan of the Taipei Fraternity Special Zone, and she also believes that her safety is threatened, and has ordered a significant increase in the number of "military police" in Taipei from more than 5,000.
But it all seemed in vain. Modern warfare cannot be won by relying on a large number of people, but strategy and strength are the key. Xiao Meiqin's international wandering, and Tsai Ing-wen's behavior in Taiwan, seem to be a posture of tough confrontation, but in fact they expose the helplessness and anxiety of being at a loss.
At the same time, Kinmen, a land once filled with gunpowder, has also undergone some changes recently. Tang Xianglong, a commentator with a deep Kinmen complex, sighed with emotion - it seems that Kinmen no longer belongs to the battlefield in his memory. The passage of time has made this former front line calm, but it has also made people forget the pain of history. Behind the current calm in Kinmen is a microcosm of the Taiwan authorities' attitude toward cross-strait relations -- on the one hand, there are memories and warnings of war, and on the other hand, there is the desire for peace and actual inaction.
Xiao Meiqin's trip to Europe, Tsai Ing-wen's security anxiety, and the changes in Kinmen, all these seemingly scattered events are actually bits and pieces on the same picture. Together, they paint a complex picture of cross-strait relations today. Among them, there are political calculations, historical causes, and uncertainties about the future.
In this context, it is not surprising that netizens are hotly discussed. Some accused Hsiao Mei-qin of hyping up the matter of being tracked, holding that it was just making a big fuss and even deliberately creating contradictions; while others expressed disappointment with the various acts of the Taiwan authorities and felt that these political moves would not help resolve substantive issues; of course, there were also people who expressed concern about the future of cross-strait relations, hoping that there would be more communication and understanding instead of endless confrontation and suspicion.
In any case, Hsiao Meiqin's current visit to Europe has undoubtedly added a few more strokes to the complicated picture of cross-strait relations. People's discussion of this incident also reflects from the side the different expectations and imaginations of everyone for the future of cross-strait relations.
