Lai Ching-te, deputy leader of the Taiwan region, recently shouted on the occasion of the "independence faction" that "Taiwan is a "sovereign and independent country" and is not subordinate to China. Su Huanzhi, the head of the Nan County who has withdrawn from the DPP, said that Lai's statement should be a media effect, not necessarily a smart one.
According to the China Commentary Network, Lai Qingde recently made a big speech when attending the 2021 Taiwan "State is the Conference" at home and abroad, saying that Taiwan is a "sovereign and independent country" and "not subordinate to each other" with China, and also shouted that "Taiwan's future is only 23 million Taiwanese have the right to decide."
Lai Qingde said this to separate Taoyuan Mayor Zheng Wencan's cross-strait route? Su Huanzhi criticized that Lai's method is often based on media effect considerations, to some extent that leaders do not need to rush to put on a show, and that Lai's many words contradict himself when he is the "chief executive".

Lai Qingde
Su Huanzhi said that at present, it seems that the DPP's 2024 layout, lai Qingde and Zheng Wencan are the main competition, although "chief executive" Su Zhenchang also has this taste, but at present it seems that Lai and Zheng have more opportunities. If Zheng Wencan only serves as the mayor of Taoyuan and does not take over as the "chief executive", it will be more unfavorable for 2024, and it seems that Lai has an advantage at present. He believes that Tsai Ing-wen seems to be more quite Zheng Wencan, although Zheng Ruo may become cannon fodder when he takes over as "chief executive", but he does not take this road, and there is no other way to go.
In response to the remarks made by Tsai Ing-wen and Lai Qingde in recent days that they want to make "Taiwan a normalized country," Ye Yaopeng, a well-known commentator on Taiwan's current affairs, pointed out in an article on the 26th that since the second term, the Tsai authorities have eaten the iron heart of the scales and thallium, returned to the old road of confrontation with the mainland, repeatedly trampled on the mainland's red line, and wanted to fight against the mainland, which will eventually prove that there will be no good end, but the 23 million Taiwan people who have been held hostage as human shields are he gu to ah! If the DPP insists on cutting itself off from the Chinese nation and engages in "Taiwan independence" in an attempt to split China, it will be tantamount to hitting a pebble with a pebble and seeking its own death, and in the end it will be utterly defeated and will inevitably escape the harsh judgment of history.
Ma Xiaoguang, spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, also said that the ugly performances of the DPP authorities and the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces have once again proved that their stubborn pursuit of "independence" provocations is the greatest source of chaos in peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, a cancer that threatens the interests and well-being of Taiwan compatriots, and will only bring deep disasters to Taiwan compatriots. This fully shows that our resolute containment and crackdown on "Taiwan independence" separatist activities means safeguarding peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait and safeguarding the common interests of compatriots on both sides of the strait.
Ma Xiaoguang said: We are warning the DPP authorities and the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces not to misjudge the situation. Stubbornly adhering to the "Taiwan independence" stand, fantasizing about relying on foreigners to respect oneself, and plotting "independence" provocations will eventually be met with shameful defeat and historical judgment.
