«——【Preamble】】 ——»
What does it mean to meddle in one's own affairs and not measure one's own strength? How powerful is a country with a population of only 110,000 that dares to shout at the mainland: If we dare to recover Taiwan by force, we will go to war with the United States against us?
Micronesia is a small country in the Pacific Ocean, and it is reasonable to say that it has no intersection with our country at all, but it is making a lot of nonsense about the mainland, is our country really "threatening" their interests as he said?
«——【The ambition of a small country·】——»
The Federated States of Micronesia, this small country is almost impossible to find on the world map, but it has relied on its own "strength" to make a small "fire".
According to Taiwanese media reports, Panuelo and the Taiwan authorities have been in contact as early as February 2023 to discuss the specifics of establishing diplomatic relations, but the country's behavior makes people laugh, and the Federated States of Micronesia has asked the Taiwanese authorities to pay a "red envelope" of 50 million US dollars, which will be paid within three years, and is not allowed to ask about the use of the money.
In addition, the Federated States of Micronesia has also proposed a series of "cooperation plans", and the mainland has not many projects in the Federated States of Micronesia, and if Taiwanese companies accept these projects, they will also be responsible for the vocational skills training of local workers, and assume more responsibilities and obligations.
Therefore, this condition has divided the Taiwan authorities, and the majority of the DPP's top leaders oppose this kind of "gold-yuan diplomacy," and the reason why this small country is so arrogant is because it relies on the United States behind it.
Because the United States has been fueling the Taiwan Strait issue and trying to contain Chinese mainland by supporting the Taiwan authorities, Panuelo's words and deeds are just part of the "proxy" strategy of the United States in the Taiwan Strait situation.
However, it is very "unfortunate" because the Taiwan authorities have a strong attitude of opposition to this kind of "gold-yuan diplomacy," and even if the independent forces in Taiwan are interested in this kind of diplomatic relations, they have no choice but to retreat in the face of a huge financial burden.
«——【·统一大势所趋·】——»
China's peaceful reunification is the trend of the times, and no small country's clamor can change this. Although the remarks of Micronesian President Panuelo may cause concern on some occasions, in the long run, the cause of China's reunification will continue to advance. The arrogant rhetoric of these small countries will only be gradually forgotten in the long course of history.
This profit-grabbing behavior in Micronesia reflects the complexity of international relations and the drive of practical interests, which does not affect China's firm determination to achieve reunification. China can laugh at Panuelo's remarks, because the provocations and threats of these small countries cannot stop China's reunification.
Chinese mainland has always adhered to the one-China principle, the Taiwan issue is China's internal affair, which brooks no external interference, and in order to maintain regional peace and stability, all parties should exercise restraint and resolve differences through dialogue and cooperation, rather than through the threat of force to achieve their goals.
So what is the relationship between Micronesia and China, and what has happened since then?
«——【Relations with China·】——»
After the incident, the new president of the Federated States of Micronesia took office, and he quickly realized that the former president's remarks put the country in a dangerous situation, and the new president understood that maintaining neutrality among the big powers was the key to the survival of small countries, so he took a series of measures to repair relations with China.
The new president of the Federated States of Micronesia has actively engaged in dialogue with China and has visited China. During his visit, he spoke highly of China's development and made it clear that Taiwan is part of China, an attitude that shows that the new president prefers to solve problems through dialogue and diplomacy rather than to participate in conflicts between major powers.
This diplomatic strategy has helped not only to ease relations with China, but also to stabilize the Federated States of Micronesia in the Pacific, where the role of small countries in the great power game is crucial, and the new president understands that engaging in a conflict between major powers could have devastating consequences.
Therefore, the Federated States of Micronesia has adopted a neutral stance between China and the United States, no longer provoking China, and no longer threatening China with the backing of major powers, while Taiwan, especially the government ruled by the Democratic Progressive Party, has always been the stronghold of "Taiwan independence."
At the same time, the mainland side adheres to the principle of peaceful reunification and hopes to promote the improvement of cross-strait relations through cultural exchanges and economic cooperation.
Ma Ying-jeou's recent visit to the mainland has shattered the plans of the Taiwan authorities, and this visit has not only brought a signal of peace, but also allowed Taiwan's younger generation to see the mainland's prosperity and development.
In 2016, Want Want Group donated more than 2 million yuan of materials to the Zhejiang Women's Children's Foundation, which were distributed to nursing homes and other institutions, providing a new opportunity for cross-strait charity exchanges.
Such exchanges will help reduce the negative propaganda of the Taiwan authorities against the mainland and weaken the influence of the "Taiwan independence" ideology.
«——【·Conclusion·】——»
Cross-strait reunification is an inevitable trend of history, and no one or any force can stop this process. Although the Taiwan authorities and some external forces are currently obstructing reunification, they will only end up in vain, and in the process, external interference will only aggravate tensions and threaten regional stability.
In order to realize the peaceful reunification of the two sides of the strait, the mainland has been taking positive measures to promote exchanges between the people on both sides of the strait and reduce hostility and misunderstanding.
For those small countries that try to interfere in China's internal affairs, they should realize that the game between the great powers is not something they can afford, and in this case, the wise choice is to adopt a neutral attitude and not give up future development space for the sake of immediate interests.
As China's economic and military power continues to grow, external forces are becoming more and more powerless, and many countries are recognizing that confrontation with China will have unforeseen consequences.
The new president of the Federated States of Micronesia has already set a good example, that small countries should protect their existing stability, and that in the game of great powers, aren't all some nobodies who take the lead? Not to mention that Taiwan is our country's territory, and other countries are not qualified to interfere!
