Japan will send 37 congressmen to attend Lai Ching-te's inauguration ceremony, but the Kuomintang will not be able to do anything, and all the people's deputies will not attend, and the mainland is also doing big things in a muffled voice. #军史观察团#
After Wu Zhaoxie, head of Taiwan's "foreign affairs department," announced the number of foreign guests at Lai Ching-de's inauguration ceremony, the number of foreign guests dropped sharply compared with 2016, which once sparked heated discussions. In the past eight years that Tsai Ing-wen has been in power, the Taiwan authorities have been abandoned by her "countries with diplomatic relations" as many as 10 times, and it is precisely for this reason that Lai Qingde is not favored by the island when he takes office this time.
In addition, there are repeated rumors on the island that Japan will not send high-level dignitaries to attend "520". As a result, Liu Yongjian, spokesman for Taiwan's "foreign affairs department," announced in a high-profile manner that 37 members of the Japanese Diet are scheduled to attend Lai Ching-de's inauguration ceremony, including many officials who have served as cabinet members, and the number has "hit a new high."
Not only that, Chen Chih-ren, deputy secretary general of the "Taiwan-Japan Relations Association," also stressed that it is not easy for these congressmen to take leave to visit the country while the Japanese Diet is in session, but the Japanese parliamentarians are still "enthusiastically" signing up to participate. At the same time, he also revealed that as many as 15 groups of "friendly Taiwan groups" from various parts of Japan and non-governmental organizations participated in the ceremony, with a total number of more than 140 people.
Therefore, Chen Zhiren said that this is the "friendship and support" of various circles in Japan for the Taiwan authorities, and it is by no means that Japan has been snubbed as the media claimed. Obviously, by revealing this information at this moment, the DPP authorities are looking for a step down for themselves. Lai Qingde also publicly shouted two days ago that he would strengthen cooperation with Japan after taking office.
He also reiterated the fallacy that "if there is something wrong with Taiwan, there is something wrong with Japan." It can be seen that after the Taiwan authorities are constantly abandoned by "friendly countries," they will force the DPP to curry more curry favor with the United States, Japan, and other countries. Although the DPP authorities are vigorously publicizing their "friendship" with Japan, judging from the information disclosed by the "Taiwan Foreign Affairs Department," there are quite a few people sent by Japan, but it is true that there are no people who hold important posts.
After all, Japan also knows that this matter is quite sensitive, and although they do not want to stop colluding with the Taiwan authorities, they do not dare to excessively provoke the mainland. Therefore, the Taiwan authorities are just deceiving themselves and others. In this regard, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian also publicly warned Japan not to meddle in its internal affairs and to implement its commitment not to support "Taiwan independence."
However, at a time when Japan and the Taiwan authorities were singing and making peace, the Kuomintang first gave Lai Qingde a dismissal. It has been learned that in the past two days, Hong Mengkai, "secretary general of the party caucus of the Legislative Body" of the Kuomintang, has openly stated that all the KMT deputies will definitely not attend Lai Qingde's inauguration ceremony, because there will be no holiday on that day, and they will mainly have to do official business.
Li Yanxiu, a representative of the KMT's public opinion, also stressed that the DPP should show more goodwill and communicate sincerely with the KMT. Even Kuomintang Chairman Zhu Lilun revealed that he had not received an invitation letter from Lai Qingde's inauguration. It can be seen from this that Lai Qingde's inauguration this time will not be as smooth as they imagined.
It is worth mentioning that while the island is uneasy because of Lai Qingde's inauguration, the mainland is doing big things in a muffled voice. It has been learned that in the past two days, Pingtan in Fujian Province has begun to implement the mutual recognition of the identity of Taiwan compatriots, that is, as long as the Taiwan people take their residence permits and Taiwan compatriot permits, they can handle medical insurance, finance, and other businesses in Pingtan and enjoy the same convenience as mainland residents.
Moreover, this is the first time that the mainland has implemented this policy. Some Taiwan people in Pingtan said that after the implementation of the mutual recognition of the "two certificates," it has brought great convenience to them in handling business. In this way, it will not only attract more people from the island to the mainland, but will also further promote cross-strait integration.
Pingtan is only 125 kilometers away from Hsinchu, Taiwan, which is also the closest place on the mainland to Taiwan Island. It can be seen from this that the mainland is using Pingtan as a pilot project and is constantly optimizing the procedures for the people on the island to come to live on the mainland, which is actually promoting the process of peaceful reunification. However, the DPP's constant efforts to "resist China and protect Taiwan" and set restrictions on exchanges between the people on both sides of the strait will only further weaken the trust of the people on the island in the Taiwan authorities.
Rather than spending too much energy on fighting the stubborn DPP, it is better to take concrete actions to speed up the pace of reunification. Obviously, this is what the continent is thinking at the moment.
