As soon as Blinken left, the Taiwanese representative arrived in Beijing to show goodwill.
On April 26, the Kuomintang caucus summoned Fu Laiqing to release the news and go to the mainland.
Lai Qingde of the Democratic Progressive Party also made a move, openly shouting, changing his tone, and saying that he was willing to dialogue. How will the situation develop in the future?
What were the results of Blinken's visit to China?
On April 26, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken concluded his visit to China. As for Blinken's visit to China, the outside world is very concerned about what China and the United States have discussed.
In our report, it is mentioned that China and the United States have formed a five-point consensus on the basis of a comprehensive exchange of views. This includes efforts to stabilize and develop China-US relations, manage differences, and so on.
It is worth mentioning that Blinken's attitude on this visit to China has changed from his previous visit. After arriving in China, the first stop was not directly to Beijing, but to Shanghai, and not only that, but also to exchange ideas with young students.
Judging from the arrangement of this visit to China, Blinken's itinerary is quite intensive. And it involves a lot of unofficial itineraries, such as night tours of Shanghai Yu Garden, watching CBA games, and so on.
Judging from Blinken's itinerary, the attitude of this visit to China seems to be more friendly. The reason why Blinken changed his previous hardline attitude is because the current United States very much wants to maintain stable relations with China.
The New York Times said in its report that the relationship between China and the United States is now affected by many aspects, including trade, territorial disputes and national security, which may lead to greater tensions between China and the United States.
Blinken's more amiable and relaxed attitude this time is to maintain the "fragile" stability that China-US relations have recently achieved.
Now that Blinken has returned to the United States, we can also observe whether the United States can fulfill its commitments with China. Whether it is really true that words must be believed and deeds must be fruitful.
However, in the context of Blinken's visit to China, many regions have also begun to make moves. Taiwan is one of them.
The representative of Taiwan announced his visit to the mainland
At the beginning of this month, Ma Ying-jeou led Taiwanese youths on a visit to the mainland. This has brought about new developments and changes in cross-strait relations.
After Blinken's visit to China, Taiwan representatives Fu Lai-ying and Hong Hsiu-chu are also about to visit the mainland, which is a very important signal for both sides of the strait.
Salvage of mainland fishing boats
As everyone knows, relations between the two sides of the strait became very tense at the beginning of this year because of the "14 February vicious ship collision incident," and the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) also announced a year ago that it would prohibit Taiwan group visitors from going to the mainland.
Against such a background, cross-strait relations have naturally become more and more tense. However, the people of Taiwan hope that the two sides of the strait can coexist peacefully.
Therefore, whether it is Ma Ying-jeou, Fu Laiqing, or Hong Xiuzhu, their successive visits to the mainland all reflect the mainstream public opinion on the island of Taiwan.
This time, Fu Laiqing visited Lu first to visit Xiaomi cars at the Xiaomi booth, and said that he would bring back a few parts back to Taiwan, hoping that artificial intelligence can appear on the streets of Taiwan in the future. In addition, Fu Laiqing also shouted across the sea this time that he must bring a mainland tourist group back this year.
In fact, the reason why Fu Laiqing is like this is because Taiwan today is very much in need of mainland tourists and economic cooperation with the mainland to achieve economic growth.
The two sides of the strait are originally one family, but the DPP authorities have made cross-strait relations more and more rigid, and even allowed politics to override industry. Such an act will inevitably affect the island's economy.
Therefore, people in Taiwan's business circles are now calling on Lai Ching-te and his new team to attach importance to and properly handle cross-strait relations. We should take the initiative to open channels of communication and loosen restrictions on cross-strait economic tourism and cultural exchanges.
And Lai Qingde doesn't know whether he listened to Taiwan's mainstream appeal, or saw the state of Blinken's visit to China. Lai Qingde's tone has changed.
Lai Qingde's tone changed
On 24 April, while attending an internal meeting of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), Lai Qingde openly called on the mainland that he was willing to carry out exchanges and cooperation with the mainland on the premise of dignity and reciprocity, and hoped that at the present stage, the two sides of the strait could understand each other, understand and respect each other's positions, and respect and cherish each other's goodwill.
As everyone knows, Lai Qingde has always had a very tough attitude toward the mainland before he took office and during his election campaign, and he also took the initiative to collude with the United States. But now Lai Qingde's tone is obviously relaxed.
There is speculation that the reason why Lai Qingde made this statement is because Blinken made a clear promise during his visit to China: "I will not support Taiwan independence." Lai Qingde's move is likely to leave a way back for himself, so he changed his tone.
However, with regard to Lai Qingde and his ilk, we must listen to his words and watch his deeds, and not be deceived by his temporary changes.
It is a fact that both sides of the strait belong to one China, and there is no room for change, and no one can go against the tide of history.
The DPP authorities should also clearly understand that the United States is only using Taiwan as a bargaining chip to restrain China, and that without China, Taiwan is nothing more than a small island that no one cares about.
In the event of a conflict, Taiwan will certainly become the first abandoned child to be abandoned by the United States. Therefore, it is wise to recognize the reality early and make the right choice as soon as possible.
