Recently, the DPP authorities have frequently made remarks on plotting for "independence," stepped up their collusion with the United States, brazenly provoked the one-China principle, deliberately created tension in the Taiwan Strait, and seriously undermined the peace and stability of cross-strait relations.
In her "Double Ten" speech, Taiwan regional leader Tsai Ing-wen put forward the so-called "four insistences," openly denying that the mainland and Taiwan belong to the same China, and nakedly selling the "two-state theory" to the international community. In response to the PLA's recent exercises in the Taiwan Strait, Qiu Taisan, chairman of the Mainland Affairs Council of Taiwan, said that "the layout of a quasi-state of war has been reached." Qiu Taisan, Su Zhenchang, Chen Mingtong, and others subsequently added that "no one wants war to occur" and "if there is no emergency, there will be no war during Tsai Ing-wen's term of office," and other remarks have spread "hatred of China and fear of China" in Taiwan society, causing widespread doubts in Taiwan society.
At the same time, the pace of Taiwan-US conspiracy to "independence" provocations has been stepping up continuously. Hua Ziqiang, a U.S. State Department official, falsely claimed at an online meeting organized by the German Marshall Foundation that China "misused" Ungain Assembly Resolution 2758 to exclude Taiwan from international organizations such as the International Civil Aviation Organization and the World Health Organization. On October 26, US Secretary of State Blinken once again advocated the so-called "Meaningful Participation of Taiwan in the United Nations and Other International Organizations," and the DPP authorities unsurprisingly thanked the United States for its so-called "support for Taiwan" remarks. Not only that, Wu Chao-sup, head of the Department of Foreign Exchanges of the Taiwan region, recently visited Slovakia and the Czech Republic, wantonly peddled the "Taiwan independence" stand, spread "Taiwan independence" remarks, and vainly attempted to create "two Chinas" and "one China, one Taiwan" in the international community, and nakedly provoked the one-China principle, which has long been widely recognized by the international community. On 29 October, Qiu Taisan, chairman of Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council, made remarks on cross-strait relations, deliberately distorting the facts and attacking and slandering the mainland. This move is to further smear the mainland, incite "anti-China and anti-China" populist politics on the island, and deliberately create cross-strait public opinion antagonism and cross-strait relations.
The DPP's recent moves of plotting "independence" have reached the point of wantonness, flagrantly trampling on the "1992 Consensus" and the one-China principle, undermining peace and stability in cross-strait relations, and stepping up its collusion with the United States and other international anti-China forces to support its plot for "independence" and confront the mainland.
The first is to pave the way for political self-interest. As everyone knows, the DPP has always been good at political struggle, and "Taiwan independence" is the so-called "god's main card" that it has been worshipping since the founding of the party. In other words, if the "Taiwan independence" stand is abandoned, the DPP will not be able to gain a foothold in Taiwan's political arena. Since the DPP came to power in 2016, Taiwan's economy has always been in a state of downturn, the island's economic growth rate is low, the employment rate is low, coupled with the lack of water, electricity, lack of work, and other problems have always followed, the DPP is not only incapable of solving, but also blames these economic, social, and people's livelihood problems on the opposition of the KMT and cross-strait relations, and the ability to "throw the pot" is first-class. Under such circumstances, if the DPP wants to ease the people's grievances, enhance its own public opinion support, and seek to win in local elections and "general elections," it must find an outlet, that is, to play the card of "hatred against China, anti-China and fear of China" and the "Taiwan independence" card, so as to divert the public's attention, confuse the public opinion, and hoodwink the will of the people; this is the only effective means by which the DPP can realize its long-term ruling power on the island.
In 2022, local county and city leaders will be held on the island of Taiwan, and if the DPP wants to win the local elections, it must further enhance its effective political chips, thereby suppressing the KMT and other political parties, and playing the "anti-China" card and the "Taiwan independence" card is bound to be an effective means of its political struggle. This is also an important reason why the DPP has not hesitated to frequently trample on the red line of cross-strait relations and constantly provoke the mainland in recent years.
Second, the Taiwan authorities are willing to act as anti-China pawns of the United States, continue to cling to the thighs of the United States and other Western anti-China forces, and support them in an attempt to rely on the United States to strengthen their own political strength. Pro-US has always been the DPP's foreign policy, and "relying on foreigners to respect oneself" and "relying on the United States to seek independence" are its important political means. Since Biden took office, the US government has gradually revealed its anti-China political features, and compared with the Trump administration, its anti-China strength has not weakened, but on the contrary, it has a tendency to intensify. The tense and competitive relations between China and the United States are constantly escalating, and the DPP is happy to see the hunters, believing that the present is an important "period of opportunity" for "relying on the United States for independence" and strengthening its own political strength, and naturally will not let it go. Therefore, it is not surprising that in recent times, the DPP has continuously consolidated and strengthened Taiwan-US relations, sung peace with the United States across the ocean, and confronted the mainland's flattery to the United States.
Recently, Taiwan regional leader Tsai Ing-wen confirmed for the first time in an exclusive interview with the US CNN that there are US military personnel stationed in Taiwan to assist the Taiwan military in training, and openly trample on the red line of cross-strait relations. In the past, the US military's activities in Taiwan have always been extremely confidential and sensitive matters, and the level of secrecy is quite high. Today, however, Tsai Ing-wen has taken the initiative to confirm that there are US troops stationed in Taiwan to assist in the training of Taiwanese troops, which is obviously for political purposes. By stepping up their collusion in the military field, Taiwan and the United States are openly exerting pressure on the mainland; on the one hand, they are bold in seeking "independence" for the DPP; on the other hand, Taiwan is trying to cooperate with the US anti-China policy and forcing the Chinese mainland to make compromises and concessions to the United States. These provocative moves by Taiwan and the United States have greatly stimulated the "Taiwan independence" forces on the island and made them even more fearless, which will inevitably further thicken the "anti-China" atmosphere on the island and encourage the arrogance of "Taiwan independence." All this, in turn, will encourage the DPP's support on the island and provide external conditions and assistance for it to pursue political interests.
Third, the DPP has stepped up its efforts to seek "independence" and cultivate the soil of "Taiwan independence" on the island in an attempt to completely separate the two sides of the strait and lay the foundation and pave the way for seeking permanent ruling power. The DPP's series of "independence" moves have become common in Taiwan society, but it is precisely this point that is extremely harmful to Taiwan. The DPP has not only used various political means to incite populist politics of "hatred against China, anti-China, and fear of China" and has spared no means to sabotage cross-strait exchanges and cooperation, but has also tampered with the history syllabus of Taiwan's primary and secondary schools in an attempt to completely "de-neutralize" the history and culture, thereby splitting the two sides of the strait and cultivating a generation of young people in Taiwan into "artificial independence." This is extremely harmful to the peaceful development of cross-strait relations and the reunification of the motherland. Taiwan's young generation is an important force in promoting the peaceful development of cross-strait relations and also an important force in promoting the reunification of the motherland; if the DPP is allowed to manipulate populist politics and allow "Taiwan independence" to continue to flourish on the island, the consequences will be very serious and will inevitably cause serious resistance to national reunification.
Although the DPP's incessant moves to seek "independence" and the frequent collusion between Taiwan and the United States, cross-strait reunification is the general trend of history, the right path, and a historical trend that no one and no political force can stop. Both history and reality have repeatedly proved that "Taiwan independence" is a dead end, and supporting "Taiwan independence" is also a road of no return. The DPP authorities' conspiracy and behavior of "independence" will not change in the slightest the historical fact that both sides of the strait belong to one China. On the other hand, the political pattern in which the international community recognizes the one-China principle is still stable, and no matter how Taiwan and the United States collude, it is impossible to shake the solid pattern of the one-China principle. The Taiwan issue is purely China's internal affair and brooks no foreign interference. No country or person should underestimate the strong determination, firm will and strong ability of the Chinese people to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity!
At present, the situation in the Taiwan Strait is complicated and severe, but the times and the situation are always on the side of the forces advocating national reunification, and the leading role and initiative in resolving the Taiwan issue are always firmly in the hands of the mainland of the motherland. The mainland's "anti-independence and promotion of reunification" is firm and powerful, and the historical task of the complete reunification of the motherland must be realized and can certainly be realized!
