Peace or war is a difficult problem for the Taiwan authorities, because as long as cross-strait relations are mentioned on the island, huge differences will arise. Kuomintang figures headed by Ma Ying-jeou bitterly criticized the "Taiwan independence" remarks of the Lai Ching-de authorities for not conforming to Taiwan's actual development. Ma Ying-jeou pointed out at the 27 th Sun Yat-sen lecture held in Bangkok, Thailand, a few days ago that the DPP is maliciously misleading the Taiwan people by using the so-called "descendants of Yan Huang are myths and legends." This is deeply distressing. Ma Ying-jeou also stressed that Lai Qingde's so-called viewpoint of "cross-strait complementarity and subordination" is actually the new two-state theory. If the Lai Ching-de authorities really lead Taiwan to independence and become a country of its own, then it will inevitably lead to war.
Although Ma Ying-jeou's criticism seems to be fine, the KMT's viewpoint of "no reunification and no independence" will not enable the two sides of the strait to achieve reunification. Moreover, the DPP's ability to control Taiwan's ruling power also has something to do with the KMT's connivance. If the KMT's insistence on cross-strait reunification has remained unchanged, why would the DPP make such wild remarks?
Therefore, the Kuomintang and the Democratic Progressive Party both belong to the party of "50 steps and 100 steps", and there is no difference. It's just that the DPP is too radical and wants to deviate from the one-China principle, which the KMT will not be able to accept for a while. Ma Ying-jeou publicly criticized the Lai Qingde authorities in the hope that Lai Qingde and his ilk would not bring war to Taiwan, because United States will not send troops to Taiwan, at most it will provide Taiwan with some advanced weapons.
Ma Ying-jeou's judgment is half right: United States's support for Taiwan is not as lofty as the US military, the media, and politicians portray, but wants to turn Taiwan into Ukraine and consume the mainland by arming Taiwan. When the two sides of the strait really fight, United States will be able to make profits on the sidelines and eat fragrant and spicy food. On the other hand, if United States really sent troops to protect Taiwan, Ma Ying-jeou would not oppose the two-state theory of Lai Qingde and his ilk. So we say that he was half right.
At present, the performance of the Taiwan authorities is quite dazzling, and they say things that irritate the mainland at every turn. For example, Lai Qingde thanked the international community for its support for Taiwan at the international anti-China organization "Transnational Parliamentary Alliance on China Policy." He also openly denied UN Resolution 2758, claiming that this was a legal basis for the mainland to build for military reunification. It can be said that Lai Qingde is frantically trying on the verge of looking for death, and compared with other anti-China chess pieces, he can be regarded as an activist.
That's not normal. Could it be that Lai Qingde could not see clearly the huge gap in strength between the two sides of the strait? Using the strength of Taiwan as an island to confront the entire mainland is not hitting a stone with an egg. Lai Qingde doesn't understand? Of course he understood, and it was because he understood that he would do it. Because Taiwan independence is the political soil of the Democratic Progressive Party, if you don't say so, can Lai Qingde be in power and can he get the support of United States?
In addition, Lai Qingde also knows the bottom line of the mainland, that is, the mainland still focuses on peaceful reunification and will not really use force. If you want to use force, starting from Pelosi's invasion of Taiwan in August 2022, the mainland should use force, why "encircle but not fight" Taiwan four times?
Therefore, the mainland is not anxious about Taiwan, and no matter how harsh Lai Qingde says, it will not be anxious. However, we will not let Lai Qingde come to Hu, and the big fist of the sand bowl will also be shown to Lai Qingde and others. The "Circular on Bringing Taiwan Independence to Law" issued by the three departments of the People's Procuratorate and the People's Procuratorate of the mainland clearly stipulates that those who directly participate in the implementation of Taiwan independence separatist activities can be sentenced to death or life imprisonment. This circular is to inform Taiwan independence that your good days are numbered.
In addition to dealing with Taiwan independence, the mainland also has to deal with the United States; if the United States does not interfere in the affairs of the Taiwan Strait, everything will be equal; if the United States forcibly intervenes, then even the United States will clean it up. Anyway, China and the United States have already fought a fight, so what's the point of another fight?
