As Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan continues to escalate, the situation in the Taiwan Strait has become increasingly tense. Against this background, the Chinese government has used large-scale military exercises and economic sanctions to solemnly declare to Taiwan independence elements: "One China" "The principle is inviolable!
China has always been unkind to the Taiwanese independence forces that seek independence from abroad and use force, and has demonstrated its determination to "unify and liberate" with actions.
But at this juncture, some Taiwanese politicians are unclear about the current situation and lack a serious understanding of the nature of things.
For example, one of them named Zheng Liwen said publicly in the media:
"Once the two sides of the Taiwan Strait go to war, Taiwan will drag down half of the national power of the mainland, and the economy will regress for at least 30 years."
After hearing this, everyone was in a panic. While teasing that Liang Jingru gave her "courage", she also delved into the politician's past experience.
This person "supported Taiwan independence" in the early stage. In the mid-term, he cursed "Taiwan independence" as a "scam". In the later stage, he even angrily criticized members of the Democratic Progressive Party as "stinky meat."
Seeing this, people can't help but raise a question: What is Zheng Liwen's political attitude?
What is the meaning behind her words?
Early experience
In 1969, Zheng Liwen was born in Taipei.
Affected by the political environment at that time, Zheng Liwen wanted to pursue a career in politics since she was a child. When she grew up, she was successfully admitted to the Law Department of National Taiwan University.
During her student days, she actively participated in various movements. Not only did she serve as the president of the "Forum Club" of National Taiwan University and the convener of the "New Generation National Security Forum", but she also worked with Luo Wuchang, the former executive director of the Taipei City Department of the Democratic Progressive Party. Participated in the "Wild Lily Student Movement".
During this period, Zheng Liwen's political attitude was " Taiwan independence and founding of the country ". She believed in the new trend faction of the Democratic Progressive Party and felt that the political philosophy of the Kuomintang was too "conservative."
Of course, there are environmental factors and Luo Wuchang’s reasons for this.
During the time when they were engaged in sports together, the two gradually fell in love with each other and came together because of their similar political ideals and the fact that they got to know each other day and night.
After graduating from National Taiwan University, Zheng Liwen chose to study at the Law Department of Temple University in Philadelphia, USA, and obtained a master's degree in law .
During this period, because of her good appearance and good figure, she was spotted by talent scout from the United States, who wanted to find her as a professional model.
But Zheng Liwen was determined to enter the political arena, so she directly rejected the invitation.
After returning to Taiwan, Cheng Lai-wen decided to join the Democratic Progressive Party and realize her dream of "Taiwan independence" out of disgust for Lee Teng-hui's "political black money".
Taking advantage of her appearance and study abroad experience, Zheng Liwen quickly established a foothold in the political arena, and because of her sharp words, she was deeply loved by the leaders of the Democratic Progressive Party.
In 1996, Cheng Li-wen, who was under 30 years old, was officially elected as a representative of the third "National Congress" of the People's Progressive Party and participated in the revision of Taiwan's constitution.
This kind of honor is rare for young women, and she happens to be one of them.
Zheng Liwen uses sharp words in her speech. Although she has the experience of studying abroad, it does not affect her sharp words with a "big voice".
This is a double-edged sword for her, one facing the outside and the other facing the inside.
With this style, she was promoted quickly in the DPP and became one of the few figures in the DPP. But while enjoying the scenery, this also caused her to have a bad reputation among the Kuomintang and offended many people.
In 1999, the idea of a Taiwanese local variety show "The Wire" was proposed. The core of the program was "political insider information", and in addition to "breaking" news, the most important thing was to attract attention.
Zheng Liwen met their requirements in terms of political experience and appearance, so the two parties hit it off and the program was officially established.
This program has attracted the attention of the people on the island since it was launched. Not only because there are two beauties to watch, but also because these two beauties have very sharp words and often reveal a lot of "bold" inside information, and No room left for complaining.
Under these conditions, Zheng Liwen's name was well known to the Taiwanese people, and her political ambitions also took root in the audience's appreciation.
In the 2001 legislative election, Zheng Liwen publicly ran for election, but because she was not nominated by the party, she had to lose the election.
This incident made her have a grudge against the DPP, and she was even more dissatisfied with Chen Shui-bian.
So in the subsequent "FireWire" program, she repeatedly used her identity as a news media person to criticize the DPP's scandals, causing the people on the island to become dissatisfied with the DPP authorities.
After this incident, the top leaders of the Democratic Progressive Party took steps to expel Zheng Liwen from the party. However, according to Cheng Lai-man herself, she disdained to be complicit with these "scumbags", saying that they had deviated from the early political line and were inconsistent with her own ideas, so she took the initiative to withdraw.
Afterwards, when the media asked about this matter, she said in public:
"When I was young and in college, I was a 'Taiwan independence fundamentalist ', but I suddenly discovered that these were all lies. All the original claims." "Taiwan independence is all fake, and Taiwan independence is a lie."
As for the specifics, everyone has their own reasons, but what is certain is that she has broken up with the Democratic Progressive Party.
How many steps does it take to go from "Taiwan independence" to "anti-Taiwan independence"?
Is this the end of Cheng Lai-man’s political career? At least that's how it was in people's eyes at the time.
But this is not what Zheng Liwen wants. She needs to change her identity and realize her political dream again.
So after leaving the Democratic Progressive Party, she chose to study in the UK and obtained a doctorate in and from the University of Cambridge.
During this period, she reconsidered the current situation of the Democratic Progressive Party and the similarities and differences in cross-strait relations, and finally gave up the concept of "Taiwan independence."
As for whether this concept is true giving up or false giving up, only she knows this, but if she wants to return to politics, she cannot continue to be "independent".
This has something to do with Taiwan’s political parties.
There are many political parties in Taiwan, but they are mainly divided into the Democratic Progressive Party and the Kuomintang.
The Democratic Progressive Party is a die-hard "Taiwan independence" element. It does not recognize the " 1992 Consensus" and attempts to cling to the United States to "seek independence from abroad" and advocates Taiwan independence and the founding of the country.
After the Democratic Progressive Party passed the "Resolution on Taiwan's Future" in 1999, they openly downplayed their claims for Taiwan independence, but in fact they proposed a narrow "Taiwan consciousness" and created an "amnesia project" by changing students' history textbooks, which is subtle. China has completed de-Sinicization, thus intensifying ethnic conflicts and instigating cross-strait confrontation.
The party flag of this group of people is mainly green, so they are called the Green Camp.
Chen Shui-bian, the representative of the Green Camp
As for the KMT, everyone naturally knows it, but the difference between them and the DPP is that during the period of Chiang Kai-shek and Lee Teng-hui, the KMT advocated cross-strait reunification. They supported the "1992 Consensus", but on this basis they added The concept of "1992 Consensus, One China, Each Expression" was adopted.
Of course, we do not recognize the "one China, each country" at all. After all, there is only one China, and that is the People's Republic of China .
And because the KMT party emblem is blue, it was named Blue Camp.
There is constant fighting between blue and green, and they often get into heated arguments at meetings, with the attitude of a market lady scolding people.
Blue camp representative Ma Ying-jeou
After explaining the background, we return to the present.
If Zheng Liwen wants to realize her political dream, she must change her past ideas of "Taiwan independence" and join the Kuomintang.
By chance, Zheng Liwen met the Chairman of the Kuomintang Lien Chan after being introduced by a friend. After the number of meetings increased, her relationship with Lien Chan and his wife became better and better.
Zheng Liwen complained to Lien Chan about the chaos in the DPP and the corruption within the party. His sharp words won Lien Chan's heart.
But in fact, Zheng Liwen was not a member of the Kuomintang at this time. She actually joined the Kuomintang in 2005, and she was personally invited to join by Lien Chan.
In 2005, after the election of the chairman of the Chinese Kuomintang, Ma Ying-jeou took over as chairman of the Kuomintang, and Zheng Liwen was promoted to the chairman of the Cultural Communication Committee.
It is rare to see someone like her who directly becomes a first-level party director without qualifications. Of course, this is inseparable from her diploma and her own abilities.
During her time as the chairperson of the Cultural Communication Committee, she did an excellent job.
At that time, the Kuomintang had been suppressed by the Democratic Progressive Party, so its vote rate in elections had been unsatisfactory for a long time. However, after Zheng Liwen presided over, both the parade and the momentum achieved satisfactory results.
Ma Ying-jeou proposed the "three no's" policy towards the mainland, that is, "no unification, no independence, no force" , and Cheng Lai-wen's attitude is exactly the same.
She opposes Taiwan independence, but has never publicly supported cross-strait reunification.
In 2007, when Ma Ying-jeou was preparing for the new round of Taiwan's general election, the Democratic Progressive Party exposed a scandal, saying that he had secretly embezzled large amounts of public funds while in power in Taipei.
In this matter, Ma Ying-jeou made a very smart choice. He did not choose to argue. Instead, he voluntarily resigned from the position of chairman of the Kuomintang, leaving only the words "the law will prove his innocence."
remains unchanged in response to all changes. This wave is both an emotional card and a means of manipulating people's hearts.
Ma Ying-jeou
This method gave Zheng Liwen a lot of room for maneuver. She used the media to hype that this was a conspiracy of the Democratic Progressive Party to undermine the KMT's election. She also said that the Democratic Progressive Party only cares about its own corruption and does not care whether the people of Taiwan are Lived really well.
In the end, under the pressure of public opinion and political considerations, Ma Ying-jeou was acquitted.
In 2008, Cheng Li-wen relied on her fierce personality, sharp style and sharp rhetoric to win a large number of votes for the Kuomintang, allowing Ma Ying-jeou to successfully gain power in Taiwan's general election.
Zheng Liwen's behavior style of daring to argue, scold, and complaining if she doesn't agree has made her a sharp sword in the blue camp, and she is also called " blue camp female war goddess " by the media.
Mainland has gone back 30 years?
Cheng Lai-man’s stance on cross-strait issues is “no reunification, no independence, no force,” which is the same philosophy as Ma Ying-jeou.
She believes that maintaining peaceful and developing cross-strait relations will be more conducive to promoting the economic development of both sides, and cross-strait exchanges will also be more convenient.
But in fact, this is still a variant of "Taiwan independence" or "Taiwan independence". Unification is the general trend, the aspiration of the people, and one of the only ways for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Any attempt to split the motherland is unrealistic. .
So we must analyze dialectically what Zheng Liwen said.
Pelosi 's visit to Taiwan some time ago gave Taiwan leader Tsai Ing-wen a glimmer of illusion. One of the two sides "mistakenly gave hope for Taiwan independence", and the other "mistakenly thought they were embracing it."
But this approach has only one result, which is to stimulate the Chinese government and accelerate the pace of cross-strait reunification.
Regarding this, Zheng Liwen said when she was a guest on the Taiwan visit program:
"The United States is using Taiwan to stimulate the mainland. It wants to let the mainland attack Taiwan and let them destroy Taiwan. The mainland will also be dragged down by Taiwan. Half of its national strength, at least the economy Going back thirty years."
You are right if you only look at the first half of this sentence. Taiwan has always been the flag of the United States in the Sino-US game. The US imperialism uses Taiwan as a diversion, constantly interfering in my country's internal affairs, and hindering the reunification of our country. There is a high probability that this behavior is to test our country. Government response.
But in the second half of the sentence, the mainland was dragged down by Taiwan and its economy retreated for thirty years, which is not unrealistic at all.
According to media interviews with Taiwanese youth on their predictions of the outcome of the war, most people concluded that Taiwan would be captured in three or seven days.
The famous Taiwanese scholar Lang Xianping once said in a speech that in the 1980s, he was a platoon leader on the Kinmen front line. At that time, he told his soldiers that as long as there was a war between the two sides, he would be the first to surrender, and he would even have to put on white clothes in advance. Underpants.
This is not because he has a weak temper, but because he has a clear understanding of the military strength of both sides.
Chinese People's Liberation Army
Take military expenditure as an example. Taiwan's military expenditure is 10.725 billion . This number sounds like a lot at first glance, but our military expenditure is 132 billion , second only to the United States. The number
is not only a suppression of numbers and equipment, but also a technical dimension reduction blow. The extent of its crushing, even detaching a military region to carry out the war of liberation is considered to be looking down upon Taiwan's local army.
The fundamental reason why Zheng Liwen has this concept is that she does not understand the mainland. Of course, there must be political elements in it.
Former Taiwan Mainland Chairman Su Qi said: Today's Taiwanese youth have no idea about the development of the mainland at all, and they know very little about the United States.
Taiwanese youth believe that with the assistance of the United States, Taiwan's military force can check and balance the mainland, and believe that the United States' attitude towards Taiwan is as important as New York.
But in fact, this is the result of the "Taiwan independence forces" downplaying China's sense of belonging and de-Sinicization. They have made some people in Taiwan ignorant and arrogant.
So whether it is Tsai Ing-wen or Zheng Liwen, they all use the votes of Taiwan's ignorant youth as political chips.
is just one person who wants "Taiwan independence" and one person who wants to "maintain the status quo."
However, the pace of history will not stop because of these people, and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation will not end because of them. There is only one China in the world, and Taiwan is China's territory.
Conclusion
Peace and liberation are not in conflict, but the peaceful life on the island cannot be a shield for "Taiwan independence" elements.
Deng Gong once said when he was still alive: A later resolution of the unification issue will not harm the overall situation, but the use of force cannot be ruled out.
Peaceful reunification is what the people want, but if someone attempts to take advantage of this situation to invade our internal affairs and hinder the historical mission of China's reunification, they are the enemies of the people of the whole country.
