In mid-August 2022, a person's visit not only caused a huge sensation on the island of Taiwan, but also aroused widespread public attention in mainland China. This person was Pelosi , then the President of the U.S. House of Representatives.
Although there are rumors that Pelosi's trip may be related to "business", Ye Yulan, who can serve as a "legislator" of the Kuomintang , said frankly in an interview with the media that Pelosi brought her son to Taiwan in a low-key manner, and even the American media subconsciously believed that there must be "something evil" involved.
The Taiwanese media "acted in the opposite direction" and "just" were all "silent" at this time. It is really hard not to make people suspicious!
Ye Yulan emphasized that in her view, Taiwan is now very "fragile" and Pelosi's "participation" was like a "fuse" that almost caused the "two trains" of China and the United States to collide;
For Pelosi's personal political interests or family business interests, Taiwan has to pay a painful "price", especially the "central line of the strait" no longer exists, which is really not worth it.
She told reporters that a while ago, she deliberately took a lot of time to "travel" in the United States and had contacts with many members of the US Congress and executive departments.
She vaguely understood from those people's words that even though many people say that they "support" Taiwan, in fact, it is very difficult to find a policy that is "beneficial" to Taiwan in today's world.
For example, the United States has repeatedly claimed to "support" Taiwan, but it still "severed diplomatic relations" with Taiwan in 1978; even if the United States later introduced the "Taiwan Relations Act", it could not fully make up for Taiwan's forced "missing" "interests."
Taiwanese businessmen cannot enjoy "most favored nation treatment" when doing business in the United States. Especially if the "parent company" of Taiwanese businessmen is in the "homeland", both parties will be taxed. When "talking" with the United States on this issue, they will use the excuse that "the matter is not something that can be dealt with by members of Congress."
Therefore, Ye Yulan believes that Taiwan does not need to "trust" the United States as it once did. According to her understanding, before Pelosi came to Taiwan, the mainland had a phone call with the United States.
The various current situations should have been the "results" of the deductions by both sides. The "central line of the strait" has turned into "nothing", and the US aircraft carrier has left. No one in Taiwan dares to "guarantee". Assuming that one day in the future, the mainland really wants to "play it real", will the United States have time to "save" Taiwan?
Ye Yulan described Taiwan as "extremely pitiful" in and out of words. It seems that Taiwan has become a "victim" and "profit" in the game between China and the United States. It has completely lost its so-called "autonomy" and can only be "completely" at the "arbitrary mercy" of China and the United States.
So the question is, who is Ye Yulan? What is her “political position”?
01, It will take half a lifetime to "cure" the "shadow" of her childhood: her father's hasty decision brought her "painful memories" for most of her life
Time accelerated to 2022 At the end of September 2019, the always high-profile Ye Yulan "regained" the media spotlight with a piece of news that shocked the public, and once again "entered" the major report pages: After using the surname "Ye" for most of her life, she actually announced that "Ye" is not her real surname, and she should be called "You Yulan."
Ye Yulan was born in Taiwan in 1958. She is a "pure" "native". Her father's hometown is in the beautiful Yilan, and her mother is a Hakka. Her hometown is in Miaoli County. Such a "life background" will undoubtedly increase Ye Yulan's political capital and make her career in politics smoother.
Ye Yulan's father served as a "patrol sergeant" in the police station during the "Japanese colonial" period; after Japan's defeat and Taiwan's "recovery", he continued to serve in the police station.
Her father's career influenced the young Ye Yulan, making her have a "natural" affection for the "police" since childhood. After graduating from high school, she did not hesitate to apply for the Police University to become an outstanding police officer with professional qualities and skills.
is also his father, who has brought "painful memories" to Ye Yulan for half a lifetime, and this incident has a lot to do with Ye Yulan's "change of surname and return to the clan".
Ye Yulan revealed that one day when she was 11 years old, her father suddenly decided to adopt her to a colleague; her father's colleague was much older than her father and seemed to be seriously ill at the time.
Not long after the adoption was completed, this person died of illness, and she had no choice but to become the "adopted daughter" of Mr. Ye. Her father's name on the household registration book was no longer her biological father, but Mr. Ye.
Later, Ye Yulan's father seemed to regret it and took Ye Yulan to the court to terminate the " adoption relationship " between his daughter and Mr. Ye. Instead, he was reprimanded by the staff: "Since you gave birth to your own child, you must raise it by yourself!"
As a result, Ye Yulan has been living in Youjia like a "foreigner" who "lives under someone else's roof" for decades to come.
Ye Yulan recalled her psychological journey and emphasized: At the beginning, she was indeed extremely resistant, but as time went by, she slowly "accepted" her fate and gradually "let go" of it. However, her parents obviously "could not let go" of the matter, and they said many times during her lifetime that she would carelessly call her daughter. "Changing" their children's surname is the biggest regret in their lives;
Now, Ye Yulan no longer wants to be a "foreigner" whose surname is "Youjia", which is very irritating. She wants to change her name back to "You Yulan" so that her biological parents' names can "return" to her ID card and fulfill her parents' last wish.
She said with emotion: "After all these years, I am back home! Ye Yulan used to be decisive and brave; now You Yulan will be more optimistic and enterprising!"
Regarding Ye Yulan's surprising decision, staff from relevant Taiwanese agencies responded that the matter is not difficult to implement. As long as Ye Yulan submits supporting documents, someone will immediately notify the various offices of Taiwan's "Legislative Body" to assist in the operation, modify internal data and external introduction webpages, etc.
I have to say that Ye Yulan's move of "recognizing her ancestors" is really powerful. Not only did she immediately gain public attention and bring herself great popularity, but she also won more "sympathy votes" and "support votes" for herself, which will help her gain an advantage in the next "Taiwan election".
02, "pointing her sword at" the Democratic Progressive Party, constantly speaking out: She is a staunch "blue camp" person, often bombarding people and related policies in the "green camp"
Let's go back to the beginning, how can Ye Yulan, who is clearly a graduate of the police academy, turn into a "blue camp warrior" and often "charge into the battle" at the forefront of bombarding the "green camp"?
Ye Yulan is not tall, and could be called "petite" among the students of the police academy at the same time, but she is better than "hard work". She not only "learns hard" theoretical knowledge and "trains hard" military training, but also takes additional physical courses such as judo and taekwondo.
After graduating from college, Ye Yulan entered the grassroots police station as she wished and became a police officer; a few years later, Ye Yulan was transferred to the police academy and served as a confidential officer in the principal's office, laying the groundwork for the future.
Two years later, Ye Yulan relied on her own efforts to apply for a police-related major at a university in the United States. When the admission news reached Ye Yulan, she immediately gave up her job in Taiwan and chose to go to the United States for further study, obtaining a master's degree in and .
While in the United States, Ye Yulan interned at the Chicago Police Department and had a deep understanding of the American police system. Later, she returned to Taiwan and returned to teach at the Police University. However, she was not satisfied with the status quo. Instead, she continued to apply for American University to study public policy and obtain a doctorate.
returned to Taiwan Police Academy to teach for the third time, and Ye Yulan was satisfied. Her status as a "professor" of gained her respect and allowed her to continue to make strides towards her goals. She joined the Kuomintang and pursued political development. She paid close attention to Taiwan's public affairs and often spoke up for women.
Slowly, Ye Yulan successfully established prestige and influence among the Taiwanese people, and accumulated a certain degree of popularity.
What she never expected was that when young students in Taiwan attacked the legislative body and caused a huge "crisis" to the Democratic Progressive Party, the Kuomintang, as the "opposing" party, actually "sid on the sidelines" without any reaction.
Ye Yulan was so angry that she quit the Kuomintang and joined the new party to continue striving to realize her ambitions.
A few years later, due to the New Party's election defeat, Ye Yulan missed the opportunity to enter Taiwan's "legislative body." Instead of being depressed, she insisted on expressing her views through the media and won the support of a large number of Taiwanese people.
Ye Yulan's personal influence in Taiwan is growing. The Kuomintang seems to have realized her power and importance, and finally admitted Ye Yulan to the party again in 2019.
After that, Ye Yulan was elected as the public representative of Taiwan's "legislative body" and stood on a broader "political stage" to display her ambitions. She is a staunch supporter of the "blue camp" and often criticizes the "green camp", especially those in the Democratic Progressive Party.
In early November 2019, Ye Yulan "straightforwardly persuaded" young people to stop being "devoted" to the DPP, otherwise they would be "sold" by the DPP and have to help them "count money" stupidly.
She said that the DPP was unable to afford it financially and the "retirement fund" was already facing "bankruptcy". After "cutting" pensions, it turned around and passed the so-called "800 billion" forward-looking regulations and praised a large number of unnecessary "mosquito projects". It was clear that no matter how "reverse" they were, young people would "follow" them without complaint!
Ye Yulan hopes that young people can see the "true face" of the DPP and stop believing in the lies of "one step to the top" they deliberately promote. That is only the privilege of a few people. If other young people continue to support the DPP "indiscriminately", I am afraid that the DPP will make these young people bear the "heavy debt sinkhole"!
In 2021, as the "COVID-19" epidemic raged across the world, Ye Yulan once again blasted the DPP for having "no empathy."
She pointed out that there are many Taiwanese compatriots overseas who are still waiting for flights back to Taiwan. There is even a relative of a Taiwanese compatriot who unfortunately died of the epidemic and wants to get vaccinated as soon as possible and go overseas to deal with the funeral arrangements.
However, the Taiwan "authorities" are still "playing ball" with the "Overseas Chinese Affairs Council", unable to take decisive and real-time actions, unable to quickly help Taiwan compatriots return to their homeland, and unable to solve the current difficulties faced by the Taiwanese people. They are really too cold-blooded!
It can be seen that Ye Yulan is indeed very sincere towards Taiwan and the Taiwanese people, but what about her attitude towards the mainland? What is your attitude towards "cross-strait reunification"? Is she really an anti-"Taiwan independence" element as she has shown in the past?
3 seems to "support reunification", but in fact "blue and green" are essentially the same: but from a young age, you will find that she actually has the same "purpose" as the "green camp", but her methods are more gentle.
In fact, Ye Yulan's attitude towards "cross-strait reunification" and the mainland has been vaguely revealed in her past actions and speeches.
When Taiwan's "authorities" became angry because mainland journalists who were invited to report the truth about the Japanese search and rescue team's refusal to enter the Taiwan earthquake disaster-stricken area without "permission" and refused entry to the mainland journalist, Ye Yulan immediately "raised grievances" for the mainland reporter on social networking platforms.
She revealed that she had met this reporter once and hit it off immediately. The report by this mainland media worker directly exposed the lies of the "Taiwan authorities" and the Democratic Progressive Party.
On the surface, Ye Yulan seems to be defending the mainland, but in fact, her focus is still on Taiwan. One of the reasons why she spoke out in this matter is to add obstacles to the "Taiwan authorities" and the "DPP";
In August 2022, the General Administration of Customs of China issued an announcement stating that because more than 100 food companies in Taiwan failed to complete the updated registration in accordance with relevant regulations, an "export ban to the mainland" was imposed on them.
Regardless of what the Taiwanese people think of this, Ye Yulan once publicly "complained", saying that this matter was originally a "political game" between China and the United States. Why did it insist on "implicating" Taiwanese companies?
is obviously a "childish act of revenge." If the mainland wants to vent its anger, why doesn't it go to the United States?
Her "accusatory attitude" undoubtedly once again reveals her true stance towards the mainland and "cross-strait reunification". After all, if Ye Yulan really wanted to "support reunification", she would not have said these words at this time and tried to "pass" the "blame" to the mainland. Instead, she would comply with public opinion and call on "Taiwan independence" elements to stop insisting on going their own way and constantly provoking mainland China.
In September 2022, the "Taiwan authorities" shot down a civilian aerial photography aircraft from the mainland over the waters of Shiyu , and ordered the Kinmen "Defense Command" to take necessary "countermeasures" at the appropriate time, or issue a warning to drive away the aerial photography aircraft from the mainland, or engage in "legitimate defense" to shoot down the mainland aerial photography aircraft.
In response, Ye Yulan expressed her support for the "Taiwan authorities" and said something meaningful that revealed her true intention of "seeking independence for Taiwan." She said: "If the military does nothing on this matter, then the Taiwanese people will question the military, because every year Taiwan's The national defense budget exceeds 100 billion, second only to the social welfare budget, so "inaction" will make the people worried and shocked. It turns out that confronting the mainland cannot "defend" Taiwan!"
Ye Yulan emphasized that the mainland's aerial photography drones should indeed be stopped, but too drastic measures should not be used. The "Taiwan authorities" have purchased many interference guns in the past few years. Using this may prevent the guns from misfiring and triggering a greater crisis.
It can be said that Ye Yulan seems to be a staunch supporter of Taiwan's "blue camp", but in fact, she and the "green camp" have the same purpose, hoping that Taiwan can "get rid of" the influence of the mainland and become a truly "independent" existence.
It's just that compared to the "Green Camp", Ye Yulan's "independence" methods are milder.
Of course, the "independence" behavior of Ye Yulan and the "Green Camp" is fundamentally a "short-sighted" behavior; the peace between the two sides of the Taiwan Straits that has not yet been reunified is just a dangerous period like walking on a tightrope, and may "collapse" at any time;
Therefore, only by completing the great cause of reunification can the Chinese nation realize the cause of great rejuvenation, and can both sides of the Taiwan Strait achieve true peace. I hope Ye Yulan and other "independence seekers" can see clearly the "essence of unity" as soon as possible and stop focusing on "short-term interests"!
