Not long ago, French President Emmanuel Macron's opponent in the presidential campaign and leader of the "indomitable France" party said that if Taiwan declares "independence," it is natural for Chinese mainland to send troops, and a "small country" like France should not intervene. In his view, Taiwan belongs to China's territory, and the main premise of Chinese mainland attack on Taiwan is that "Taiwan declares independence on its own." If France intervenes militarily in the situation in the Taiwan Strait, it will not only not change the outcome, but will also set itself on fire, and the gains will outweigh the losses.
Undoubtedly, Mei Langxiong has a relatively sober and rational understanding of the situation in the Taiwan Strait. However, in France, there are still some people who make a big fuss without understanding the facts, deliberately smear China, mislead the people, and only think about how to use sensationalism to win attention.
Less than a week after Mélangcome's remarks, French Political Scientist and Media Reporter Sebastian Farletti published a signed article in a right-wing domestic weekly magazine expounding views that were diametrically opposed to Mélang-ste.
Reading through the whole article, we found a lot of problems, now on the problems and views in this article to analyze and explain, let everyone understand and discuss.
On the first question, in the article, Farletti pointed out that "the Taiwan region has never belonged to China from the beginning to the end, and China's claim to sovereignty over the Taiwan region is unreasonable." The phrase "from beginning to end" illustrates his ignorance of Chinese history.
People familiar with Chinese history know that Taiwan has been China's territory since ancient times. In the long history of China, from the Southern Song Dynasty, the government began to "Tunshu Penghu", during the Yuan Dynasty set up a "Patrol Inspection Department" in Penghu, and during the Qing Dynasty, the Taiwan Prefecture was set up. No matter how long it has been, the Taiwan region belongs to China, which is all based on evidence and evidence.
On the second question, in the article, Farletti accused the PLA of "exerting pressure and intimidation on the Taiwan region and trying to provoke war." This sentence shows his ignorance of the situation in the Taiwan Strait.
In 1992, the two sides of the strait reached a consensus that "both sides of the taiwan strait belong to one China and work together to seek national reunification," which was later called the "1992 Consensus," which was also the political basis for cross-strait relations. It can be said that since then, all cross-strait exchange activities have been carried out on the basis of the "1992 Consensus." During the kuomintang administration period, with the joint efforts of the two sides of the strait, the two sides of the strait became increasingly close in terms of ties and cooperation, economic and trade exchanges, and nongovernmental exchanges, and Taiwan's development was obvious to all, and the people on both sides of the strait were able to reconnect their relatives.
However, since the DPP began to govern the Taiwan region in 2016, cross-strait relations have taken a sharp turn for the worse. The reason for this is that, on the one hand, the DPP authorities have vigorously propagated the idea of "de-Sinicization" on the island; on the other hand, in the international arena, the Taiwan authorities have always wanted to seek "Taiwan independence" and separate the Taiwan region from China's territory. How can this kind of behavior of forgetting one's ancestors be tolerated by Chinese mainland and Chinese people.
In the face of the DPP authorities' "internal and external collusion" and attempts to "resist reunification by force," the PLA dispatched military planes to patrol Taiwan and conduct military exercises around the Taiwan Strait, not to "exert pressure and intimidation and provoke war," but to warn the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces and other countries of "ulterior motives." If the DPP authorities continue to be obstinate, then in order to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity, Chinese mainland will also have to take tough measures.
On the third question, in the article, Farletti warns that if the Plaster attacks Taiwan, then the United States and its allies will inevitably enter the war, which will lead to the outbreak of a "Third World War provoked by China". This speaks to a third level of his ignorance of the United States and its allies.
It is undeniable that the United States has gained tremendous political and economic benefits by playing the "Taiwan card, but these interests can only be regarded as a dime a dozen compared with the interests obtained by the United States in cooperation with the Chinese mainland. In the final analysis, the "Taiwan card" can never be a bottom card or ace card, but only a small card used for the exchange of benefits and can be discarded at any time. The United States knows this best; the Taiwan authorities may know it well, but they are unwilling to admit it.
Moreover, at the meeting held on 9 October to commemorate the 110th anniversary of the Xinhai Revolution, the mainland side has already made a sonorous and forceful statement on the Taiwan issue: Those who have forgotten their ancestors, betrayed the motherland, and split the country have never ended well and will certainly be spurned by the people and judged by history. The historical task of the complete reunification of the motherland must be realized and can certainly be realized. The Taiwan authorities should be well aware that any act that goes against the tide of history will not end well. That is to say, even if the United States and its allies intervene militarily in the Taiwan Strait, they will not be able to change the final situation of cross-strait reunification.
To interfere in China's internal affairs in a barbaric way, it is naturally needless to say who is the instigator of the war. And is it because the United States and its allies are in the water in their heads, or because they have too much money to spend?
In short, as a scholar and journalist, you must have basic common sense and professionalism, otherwise, while losing professional ethics, it will only cause the shame of your peers. If you really can't find the relevant information, you may wish to consult Mei Langxiong, he will tell you.
