[Global Network Comprehensive Report] Taiwan's Tsai Ing-wen authorities have successively lost two "diplomatic countries" Solomon Islands and the Republic of Kiribati within a week. At a press conference on the 20th, Taiwan's "Foreign Minister" Joseph Wu was asked whether he was considering resigning. He claimed that "it will be left to the chief executive to decide." Regarding his performance, some netizens on the island bluntly said that Wu Zhaoxie has been busy "breaking off diplomatic relations" recently, while others said that he should go to the "Diplomatic Breaking Department" to show off his talents.

According to reports from Taiwan’s “Dongsen News Cloud”, “United Daily News” and other media on the morning of the 20th, Kiribati “severed diplomatic relations” with the Taiwan authorities on the 20th and was determined to become Tsai Ing-wen in 2016. Since taking office, this is the seventh "diplomatic country" to have "severed diplomatic relations" with Taiwan. Within this week, the Solomon Islands "severed diplomatic relations" with the Taiwan authorities on the 16th. At the press conference on the afternoon of the 20th, Wu Zhaoxie first revealed the news of "breaking off diplomatic relations" with Kiribati, and then answered questions from Taiwanese media reporters.

A reporter asked whether Wu Zhaoxie would consider taking "political responsibility" and resign since the Taiwan authorities had "cut off" two countries in a week. Wu Zhaoxie responded that he would take the necessary "political responsibility", but the issue of whether to stay or leave "should be left to the superior to decide."

Although Wu said that he must "take political responsibility", Taiwanese netizens have already had many negative comments about Wu. Some people bluntly said that Joseph Wu should wait until all "diplomatic relations" with Taiwan are "cut off" before resigning. Others say that Wu's incompetence can be used as food.

Some people even sarcastically said that Wu Zhaoxie had just finished talking about "solid diplomatic relations" and then "broken off diplomatic relations". "How can this old face of Wu Zhaoxie be tortured again?"

Some people even say that Wu Zhaoxie's specialty is announcing "breaking off diplomatic relations". Taiwan should set up a "Department of Diplomacy" to allow Wu Zhaoxie to show off his talents.

Some people even sarcastically said, "What has Wu been busy with recently? Busy breaking off diplomatic relations!" "That's what the minister of severing diplomatic relations is like!"

When the Solomon Islands recently "severed diplomatic relations" with the Taiwan authorities, Wu Zhaoxie claimed that he had resigned from Tsai's Office for this reason. . Office Tsai responded at the time that "there is no issue of resignation." Taiwanese netizens sarcastically said at the time that everything was just a political show; there was no question of resigning before a more suitable salary position was found.

As early as when the African country Burkina Faso "severed diplomatic relations" with the Taiwan authorities on May 24, 2018, Wu Zhaoxie also verbally resigned from Tsai Ing-wen. However, only one day later, Wu Zhaoxie changed his tune again. However, after only three months of "struggle", the Central American country El Salvador announced in August 2018 that it would "sever diplomatic relations" with the Taiwan authorities. Kuomintang "legislator" Fei Hongtai sarcastically said that the "minister of diplomatic relations" Wu Zhaoxie changed his past practice and did not mention resignation, but wanted to discuss it with his "superior". Huang Chuangxia, a senior media person in Taiwan, also sarcastically said at the time, "Joseph Wu rewrote the political norms of political responsibility for political affairs officers."
