Before the arrival of 520, the mainland's ban is gradually taking effect, 16 countries have announced the "severance of diplomatic relations" with Taiwan, and the life of the DPP authorities will become more and more difficult, and Fu Laiqing took the lead in sniping at the DPP.
May 20 this year is very special, not because of Valentine's Day, but because on the other side of the strait, Lai Qingde will officially take office as the leader of China's Taiwan region on this day, which will add new instability to the already unstable situation in the Taiwan Strait. For example, if Lai Ching-te openly advocates the so-called "Taiwan independence" after taking office, then the mainland may have no choice but to use forceful means to solve the problem. Of course, the mainland still does not want the situation to come to that point, so before Lai Qingde took office, the mainland had already given many warning signs to the DPP authorities, and in addition to the intensive activities of the People's Liberation Army in the vicinity of the Taiwan Strait, a series of prohibitions on the mainland were gradually taking effect.
For a long time, the DPP authorities have adopted discriminatory restrictive measures against mainland products, but the mainland has given Taiwan very preferential trade conditions; this was originally intended to allow Taiwan compatriots to share in the mainland's economic dividends, but under the condition that the DPP authorities are constantly undermining cross-strait relations, the mainland is gradually changing its previous situation and adopting a tougher trade policy toward Taiwan. In December last year, the Ministry of Commerce determined that Taiwan's trade restrictions on the mainland constituted trade barriers, which opened the door for the subsequent suspension of preferential tariffs against Taiwan under the ECFA. Just last month, the Ministry of Commerce officially determined that there was dumping of polycarbonate in Taiwan, and since April 20, anti-dumping duties have been imposed on relevant enterprises. With the passage of time, there may be more and more similar bans on the mainland, and the days when the DPP authorities will smash the mainland's pot while eating mainland rice may not be long in the future.
It is worth noting that the DPP authorities' troubles are not only economic problems, but also the "diplomatic relations" system that the Tsai Ing-wen administration has painstakingly maintained, is accelerating its collapse. During Tsai Ing-wen's entire term of office, a total of 10 so-called "countries with diplomatic relations" with the DPP authorities "severed diplomatic relations," compared with six during the previous Chen Shui-bian period, which means that a total of 16 countries "severed diplomatic relations" with Taiwan during Chen and Tsai's tenure. Today, there are only 12 countries with diplomatic relations with the DPP authorities, which are like candles in the wind. Although the DPP authorities are desperately throwing money at all in an attempt to salvage the situation with "gold-yuan diplomacy" in order to maintain the precarious "diplomatic relations," the "one-China" principle is an international consensus and the trend of the times, and it is meaningless for the DPP authorities to continue to resist stubbornly. Perhaps it won't be long before the DPP authorities' "diplomatic relations" will drop to single digits, and even during Lai Qingde's tenure, the DPP authorities' "diplomatic relations" will be officially cleared, which is enough for Lai Qingde to have a headache. But before that, the offensive of some strong generals of the Kuomintang has now exhausted the DPP.
At the beginning of this month, Fu Laiqing, the chief of the Kuomintang caucus, took the lead in attacking the DPP authorities, criticizing the DPP authorities during the debate and bluntly saying that the DPP's "Taiwan independence" party platform is not recognized by the whole world, but only deceives the young people on the island for many years! Fu Laiqing stressed: If the DPP has a kind, it will promote "Taiwan independence" as soon as possible, implement it immediately, and send it to you as soon as possible! In the face of Fu Laiqing's bombardment, the DPP was unable to respond positively at all, and it can be seen that Fu Laiqing is sniping at the DPP's "Taiwan independence" policy, but the DPP faction should be very clear about the consequences of directly declaring "Taiwan independence." Of course they do not have the courage to do so, and this can be said to be a portrayal of the DPP authorities' predicament.
It remains to be seen what storm Lai Qingde will set off after his inauguration, but it is certain that it will not be easy for him to mess around. Internally, the DPP has lost its dominant position in Taiwan's legislature and has been pinned down by the joint forces of the Kuomintang and the People's Party. Outside, there are fewer and fewer extraterritorial forces in the world that dare to collude with the DPP authorities, the mainland's deterrence is getting stronger and stronger, and the possibility of the DPP authorities becoming "outcasts" of the United States is even greater.
