In the past two days, there has been another incident that has made the DPP beat gongs and drums and hyped it up!
That is, before he came to power, Lai Qingde was selected by the American "Time" magazine as one of the top 100 "Global Influential Figures". Jon Huntsman, the former U.S. ambassador to China, said that the "island of democracy" that Lai Qingde took over also controls more than half of the world's key chips, and this heavy responsibility is like "Atlas, the god of the earth."
Time magazine advertised that Lai Qingde was a public health expert who came from a miner's family and graduated from Harvard University, but he will not only face the health and health challenges of the 23 million Taiwanese people, but also ensure the survival and security of the Taiwanese 'government' in the face of the so-called "threat of China's advance." Lai will play a "key role" in the current crisis-ridden world and the future of "democracy" in Asia.
In response to this, the DPP authorities immediately responded with "gratitude" and said that Lai Qingde would shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending "Taiwan's democracy" and "maintaining regional peace, stability, prosperity, and development with like-minded countries" in the future. However, the DPP and Lai Qingde seem to have rejoiced too soon. The United States put two high hats on Lai Qingde, and there was a task for him to complete.
Once upon a time, Zelensky and Ukraine were also praised by the United States and became the spokesmen of the Western world to defend "democracy and freedom". And now Zelensky and Ukraine, facing the menacing Russian army alone, should not call the heavens and the earth ineffective, and the United States and NATO have already abandoned them. How high you were lifted at the beginning, how badly you will fall now, this is the end.
The more important Taiwan is in the eyes of Americans, it means that China is getting stronger and stronger, and in the eyes of Americans, China's threat is also getting bigger and bigger. As long as the United States can find a tool to deal with China now, whatever it is will make the anti-China forces hysterical and excited. In this kind of cannon fodder ranking list, the president of the Philippines ranks first, the Japanese president ranks second, the president of South Korea ranks third, and Lai Qingde temporarily ranks fourth.
On the island of Taiwan, neither the Kuomintang nor the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) can do without hugging the thighs of the United States. Without the support and support of the United States, whether it is Tsai Ing-wen or Lai Qingde's knees will be softer than anyone else. However, there is still one person on the island who is a bit backbone. On 17 April, Taiwan's "Defense Minister" Chiu Kuo-cheng once again openly slapped the DPP in the face, saying, "Don't keep thinking about the US military's defense, Taiwan is its own, and we have to rely on ourselves to save it, so how can we rely on others." ”
Although Qiu Guozheng did not name anyone in the DPP, there are only some diehard DPP people and "Taiwan independence" forces on the island, and they still believe that if a war breaks out between the two sides of the strait, the US military will send troops to help defend Taiwan. Relatively speaking, the blue camp, including the Kuomintang, is still very sober-minded. Everyone knows that the United States will not send troops no matter what, and even Japan will not send it, and it will not dare to send it.
Therefore, maintaining peace and stability across the strait and staying away from war has become the voice of more than 80 percent of the people on the island, that is, the so-called public opinion. After Ma Ying-jeou's visit to the mainland, there was a wave of KMT visits to the mainland, including former KMT Vice Chairman Hao Longbin's trip to Henan on 10 May to attend the Yellow Emperor Festival, and KMT Vice Chairman Xia Liyan, who had visited the mainland nine times before, will land again.
Next, Fu Kunqing, in his capacity as executive director of the Kuomintang Policy Committee and chief convener of the "Legislative Yuan" caucus, led a delegation of the "Blue Committee" to visit Beijing on the mainland. Hong Xiuzhu, former chairman of the Kuomintang, will also lead 200 young students to visit Zhejiang in July. In addition, according to Taiwan media reports, former Kuomintang Secretary General Li Qianlong, former "Legislative Premier" Wang Jinping, and current "Legislative Premier" Han Kuo-yu may also visit the mainland.
In this regard, Dean Han Yu's office responded to the outside world, "I don't know anything". There are only 4 words, but it shows that there is no relevant plan at present, or it is not convenient to announce the plan too early. However, according to a source, the probability of Han Kuo-yu's visit to the mainland is very high, and he had planned to go in March this year, and the next time to visit the mainland should be during the recess of the "legislature," that is, from June to August.
There are two purposes: First, we hope that there will be peace between the two sides of the strait and that there will be no war; and second, we hope that the mainland will continue to increase the concessions to Taiwan's economy, so that more Taiwan products can be exported to the mainland market and earn more dollars in foreign exchange from the mainland. The upsurge of visits to the mainland within the Kuomintang, which has always been a thief, shows that the mainstream public opinion in Taiwan society at present hopes to replace confrontation with dialogue.
