Tsai Ing-wen provoked the mainland
On Wednesday, in an interview with CNN, Tsai Ing-wen confirmed for the first time the news that the US military was stationed in Taiwan to help taiwan military training, as reported by foreign media, in order to express her confidence in the so-called "assistance in defending Taiwan" in the future conflict in the Taiwan Strait. Tsai Ing-wen's statement is that for the first time in the 40 years since the United States "severed diplomatic relations" with the current regime on the island in 1979 and the US military was completely withdrawn from the Taiwan region, the leaders of the region on the island acknowledged the existence of US troops. The entry of so-called foreign troops into Taiwan is also one of the conditions that have always been considered to meet the mainland's "armed reunification" of Taiwan. The situation was so big that the government and the public on the island were seriously disturbed, so the next day Qiu Guozheng, head of taiwan's regional defense department, urgently came out to make a correction: The US military is only "assisting in training" the Taiwan army, not "stationing." Qiu said that the US military "is assisting, yes, some people have arrived in Taiwan, but no troops have been stationed." And they (the U.S. military) are going to come to the training, of course, they will live here, it is a category of exchange."
The presence of foreign troops in the territory without permission is a serious event that would be considered aggression in any country or region. Although in the past there have always been US advisers secretly existing on the island, the Taiwan authorities have never publicly admitted it. This time, Tsai Ing-wen openly acknowledged the existence of the US military in the name of the leader of the Taiwan region, which is obviously another serious provocation to the increasingly tense cross-strait relations. Guo Zhengliang, a former DPP member of the "People's Congress," said that this CNN interview was pre-arranged and was originally intended to cooperate with Tsai Ing-wen's extra performance of the so-called "four major insistences" and "mutual non-subordination" remarks, because the Kaohsiung fire was delayed until today. With less than three years left in her term, Ms. Tsai has recently made a series of radical words and deeds with a very different purpose.
On the other hand, US President Joe Biden has lost his word three times on the Taiwan Strait issue, which also vaguely reveals the intention of the United States not to give up on the Taiwan Strait issue in the future. This week, Rick Waters, the U.S. State Department's deputy secretary for asia and the pacific, even defameed and distorted United Nations Resolution 2758. The next day, US Secretary of State Blinken mentioned in a statement that Taiwan should be "meaningfully involved" in the UN system. The small moves of the United States on the cross-strait issue seem to have given Tsai Ing-wen the courage to dance with it.
It is worth tasting that China and the United States are still in close contact on trade issues. In a meeting with the National Chicken Association, U.S. negotiator Dai Qi said that the current U.S.-China relationship "feels like a pile of dry fires" and that a "misunderstanding" "has the potential to fundamentally spark a huge fire and have a very dramatic impact on all of us." Dai Qi says that her job is to reduce the heat so that we can have a calm relationship and calmly communicate about how to stabilize the working trade part. What she really wants to express is probably that China has a huge market, and the United States can supply what China needs, such as meat. So her job is to revise the trump-in-office trade measures against China — measures that, instead of hitting China as envisioned, hurt the United States itself. Another indisputable fact is that Sino-US trade has reached a new high this year, and the trade barriers set up by the US government have hurt American consumers.
So now the situation is that the United States wants to engage with China, but it wants to make chips at the negotiating table, and Biden needs to save his polls. The most exploitable thing for the United States now is, of course, the Taiwan issue, not to mention that there is a super cooperative with the United States Tsai Ing-wen - she is willing to be a pawn at the mercy of the United States. Although on the island, Tsai Ing-wen still said that she was a "chess player" to congratulate the people.
Ironically, politicians have joined forces to create a dangerous situation in the Taiwan Strait, which has led Taiwan to the possibility of "fierce war and danger," while the focus of the Western media is still to criticize the army on the island for its lack of will to fight and lack of determination to protect itself. The way they call "showing determination" is very simple, that is, to buy more weapons. Us military experts used rhetoric to package and sell all kinds of inexplicably obsolete and expired weapons to Taiwan, and Tsai Ing-wen and the DPP authorities accepted them all according to the order. Ms. Tsai promised last year that the island's spending on armaments should increase by at least 2 percent a year, and more if necessary. By 2025, Taiwan's annual defense budget is planned to increase by at least 20 percent, or $2.08 billion. This year, because the stock market in the Taiwan region is good, the securities firms have collected taxes well, and the spending of money is even more excessive, and the DPP is happy and harmonious. Tsai Ing-wen's singing and provocation in the United States stimulated the mainland, as long as the boots of war did not really land, she could always find a reason for herself to purchase weapons. Huge military budgets were sent to the legislature, and the opposition parties did not even dare to examine them, because a little more words were used as so-called "collaborators" and the media in the hands of the DPP were to tart it.
After making words and deeds to stimulate the two sides of the strait, Tsai Ing-wen also called on her own party members on the island to exert comprehensive pressure on the opposition parties. For example, Jian Shupei, a member of the Democratic Progressive Party of Taipei City, repeatedly forced Mayor Ko Wenzhe to recite Tsai Ing-wen's "four insistences" at the city council like a sprinkler. Ke Wenzhe wanted to have a seizure several times, but finally he put up with it. In New Taipei City, DPP congressman He Bowen forced Mayor Hou Youyi to issue a reprimand against the mainland's military planes circumnavigating Taiwan. Hou Youyi, who has long served in the police circles, said that he had never flinched in several gun battles, and there was no need to prove that he loved Taiwan. It is such an ugly Jian Shupei and He Bowen, under the editing of the green media, they have become the mouth cannon heroes of "Baotai". Green Camp loves such a person, just like Lin Changzuo, who is facing a recall crisis recently, who said that he could not have pressure in order to desert military service, and as soon as there was pressure, he would be "urinary incontinence". And he actually peed on the spot.

On the other hand, when asked about the rumors that the mainland might seize Dongsha Island, Qiu Guozheng said that he had shouted to the 500 officers and men stationed on Dongsha Island: "If you die in battle, the island will be defended." After several decades of peace between the two sides of the strait, people have forgotten about the war, and Taiwan has abolished military regulations and changed the "conscription system" to a "conscription system" after the "Hong Zhongqiu Case." The period of service has also been changed to a short period of 4 months. Suddenly, being shouted by his own commander and preparing to "fight to the death and not retreat", there was really a feeling of "what night is this night". Some parents who were soldiers said that if they really wanted to fight, they would let their children who served go home, and there was no "military law" for deserters anyway.
What about those who are soldiers, but what about those who are officers? Chen Minhua, who retired from the cigarette smuggling case of Tsai Ing-wen's entourage a few years ago, was promoted from "colonel" to "major general" in less than a year. The reason why he was promoted was because others admitted to buying cigarettes, and Chen Minhua said that he did not buy them. So the people who came ahead of him were degraded because of this, and he was "blessed by misfortune." However, it was recently found out that Chen Minhua lied, and Chen did not buy less cigarettes that year. When Chen was first promoted, he ran ugly in order to avoid the media, and now it seems that he is really weak-minded. Tsai Ing-wen is nepotism, and now she has promoted a "big joke", and now how to deal with it, everyone will wait and see. And Tsai Ing-wen, relying on such an army, or dozens of U.S. troops sneaking around on the island, dared to provoke the mainland, and the people on the island were so innocent!
Tsai Ing-wen "declares war"
Recently, Chen Baiwei's recall case was successful, but due to the high voter turnout of more than 50%, and the number of votes that agreed to disagree with the same, it seems that the Blue Camp won the victory, but for the Green Camp, this battle is actually not ugly. And Lin Jingyi, the so-called "female version of Chen Baiwei," who claimed to wear "body armor" in the election of taichung's second constituency, actually moved her household registration to this constituency long ago and prepared to participate in the by-election on behalf of the DPP, which also shows that the DPP has actually made two-handed preparations for this recall. During the recall process, they did not really intend to save Chen Baiwei, who was a small party on the flanks, but instead hit the Yan family with ammunition - they prepared "black materials" for Yan Kuanheng and the Yan family in the blue camp. Therefore, although Chen Baiwei was successfully deposed this time, Yan Kuanheng's negative voice also rose sharply, and whether he should continue to participate in the next by-election became a difficult matter. Lin Jingyi taunted Yan Kuanheng, saying that the KMT had not been able to decide who would come out to vote until now, and she had not thought of how to be responsible to the people of Taichung after the recall.

It can be seen from this incident that the DPP's operation of "not asking right and wrong" is still successful, Chen Baiwei hit-and-run, gambling and lying, can become a positive young man on the green camp's lips, and can also inspire more than 70,000 people to come out to support, then, any election vote, as long as you continue to operate the so-called "anti-China" or "taiwan protection" issues can be. As long as the intensity of the confrontation is raised, it will make the voters return to the team regardless of right or wrong. Therefore, in terms of the current blue-green distribution on the island, the victory of the green camp is expected. However, if this tactic is persistently used, then the DPP, as the ruling authority, will not mind tearing Taiwan apart at all, and will act recklessly, and will not even be afraid of subverting the basic duty of stabilizing society.
It was also based on this consideration that after the recall case, Tsai Ing-wen made a clear call for a head-on duel on the next four votes. The four votes were initiated by the Kuomintang against the import of "American pigs containing ractopamine", the vote to tie the election, and the "protection of algae reefs" and "restart of the nuclear four power plants" initiated by civil society.
The latest poll of the greenery "Taiwan Public Opinion Foundation" shows that if a vote is taken immediately, the consent votes in the three cases of "anti-Lai pig import", "cherished algae reef" and "voting tied to election" are overwhelmingly superior, with the proportion of the propensity to agree to 68.1%, 47.7%, and 57.4%, respectively, and the tendency to disagree is 25.7%, 29.6%, and 34.2%, respectively; the "restart nuclear fourth" case is also inclined to agree to the vote, reaching 46.7%, while the proportion of the propensity to disagree 6 months ago is higher than the consent.
If all four votes are passed, it will be a major blow to the DPP authorities that will be enough to overthrow the country. Therefore, Zhu Lilun, the current chairman of the Kuomintang, proposed that these four votes are votes of no confidence against the DPP authorities.
For the DPP, what is really fatal is that in these four votes, except for the "nuclear power plant" issue and its "anti-nuclear stance" that violates it, the other three are actually their own past ideas. How to face the vote, the DPP has always had to face the question of "yesterday is not, this is not." Therefore, the DPP has maintained a relatively low-key posture in the past, but recently Tsai Ing-wen can't bear it, and she came out to call for a comprehensive counterattack.
Tsai Ing-wen said in a retort that the KMT is now using voting as a tool for the party to fight against differences and hinder Taiwan's development, and the DPP absolutely must stand up and defend it. So she proposed that "four disagree, Taiwan is more powerful; four disagree, Taiwan will not go on disorder." She asked the authorities to raise funds for 300 briefings, and also demanded direct financial subsidies for party members and institutions who spontaneously preached —using the financial resources of the Taiwan authorities to fight against the will of the people. The first briefing meeting departed from Taoyuan, and Tsai Ing-wen led Su Zhenchang, Taoyuan Mayor Zheng Wencan and others to personally go out. At the briefing, they were heavily attacked by the Kuomintang and even the Ma Ying-jeou authorities in the past. It is worth saying that Taoyuan is the top priority of next year's local elections, and gains and losses can largely represent the wins and losses of blue and green. Therefore, placing the first briefing meeting of the momentum in Taoyuan also shows the importance of the DPP's intentions. Such a party, with its mind focused on how to elect elections, has really never hesitated to disrupt the two sides of the strait and tear apart society.
The recall of Chen Baiwei has just ended, and what is about to come is four votes, followed by a vote to remove Lin Changzuo, and a by-election in Taichung and possibly Lin Changzuo's constituency, and then next year's local elections.
On the one hand, Tsai Ing-wen shouted that Taiwan should not be chaotic, but on the other hand, she created all kinds of election chaos. As for how unrealistic it is for the people to expect so-called voting! In 2018, voters passed ten votes, but the DPP authorities ignored the results of the vote and continued to go their own way. Taking the "restart of nuclear four" as an example, the initiator Huang Shixiu initiated a vote to pass the use of nuclear energy in 2018, and the DPP ignored it, so it forced Huang Shixiu to launch a more specific "restart nuclear fourth". Although the results are not yet known, Huang Shixiu is already the so-called disruptor of Taiwan in the mouth of the Democratic Progressive Party's Tsai Ing-wen.
