According to the latest news from the island’s media, the Kuomintang held a press conference to launch a fierce attack on the Democratic Progressive Party over the Tsai Ing-wen authorities’ “knowledge of spending money.”
According to the Kuomintang League chief Zeng Mingzong, Taiwan's debt will be high due to Tsai Ing-wen's aggressive extra budget preparation during her term. By the time Tsai Ing-wen steps down, the island's financial debt will reach 8 trillion New Taiwan dollars ; by then 23 million Taiwan dollars Compatriots, from the elderly to newborn babies, each owe more than 260,000 yuan in debt on average.
This prompts people to think of another question. According to the extent of Tsai Ing-wen’s authorities seeking death, reunification may happen at any time. At that time, how should the 8 trillion debt owed by Tsai Ing-wen be dealt with?
Generally speaking, fiscal borrowing is borrowing money from the future. It is mainly used for infrastructure construction and poverty alleviation. As long as it is kept within a certain level, it is conducive to the development of the overall economy. In the end, it will naturally be the people of Taiwan. Come back.
But the current situation is a bit special. According to Zeng Mingzong, after Tsai Ing-wen came to power, she had to increase the fiscal budget every year in the name of preparing a special budget, and a small part of this money was used for infrastructure such as health care and watershed management. Most of the money goes to the United States in the name of the so-called defense budget.
And even if the money is allocated to infrastructure construction or the epidemic relief plan, the expenditure is there and relatively large, but where the money is spent, the DPP cannot tell clearly.
Li Dewei, secretary of the Kuomintang League, said that taking the extra budget for the health sector as an example, the realization rate of the extra budget during the DPP's administration was only about 24%. To put it simply and crudely, it means that 100 yuan was spent, but only 24 yuan was done. things.
If this trend continues to develop, it is obviously not in line with the laws of economic development. The final result will be that Taiwan's own economic development speed cannot keep up with the scale of debt expansion.
At this time, the people will not be able to repay the money Tsai Ing-wen owes. If reunification happens to be completed at this time, the problem will become mainland China's.
In a word, the island’s financial situation deteriorated rapidly during the DPP’s administration, but now the Tsai Ing-wen authorities are still aggressively increasing the so-called “defense budget.” For example, in the fiscal budget passed on August 25, the Tsai Ing-wen authorities again Hundreds of billions of yuan were added to the defense budget, an increase of more than 13%.
The Kuomintang believes that what Taiwan should do now is to ease cross-strait tensions as soon as possible, instead of inexplicably launching an "arms race" with the mainland that has no chance of winning. With Taiwan's economic size, no matter how much it increases the so-called "defense budget" "Compared with the mainland, it is like a small tree.
However, the DPP ignored this and threatened to form a so-called "asymmetric combat advantage." Are these people really blinded by lard? Don't they know that their move will not help?
Of course not, it's just that the "Taiwan independence" elements became angry when they saw that the mainland was Pelosi 's visit. They were listed as "obstacles" that must be cleared for reunification, and they lost the qualification to talk to the mainland, so in their hearts Out of fear, we can only continue to pay protection fees to the United States in order to seek a pitiful sense of security.
Two days ago, US President Biden asked Congress to approve a US$1.1 billion arms sales contract. Apparently, he saw that the DPP authorities had just passed the fiscal budget and were eyeing the hard-earned money of Taiwan compatriots.
From this perspective, the DPP people are now completely confused. The Kuomintang said that they spend money lavishly but leave debts to future generations. In fact, the scolding is an understatement.
If you pay protection money to the United States, it will really bring security to the DPP authorities. But so many countries and regions around the world, including the former allies of the United States Saudi Arabia , have already understood the face of the United States. , knowing that it is sheer fantasy to rely on the protection of the United States for security, but the DPP authorities firmly believe in this.
Not to mention the money spent, the so-called security not only did not come, but also made the cross-strait situation more tense, and the cloud of war enveloped the Taiwan Strait. Malaysia Former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad publicly declared a few days ago that the United States is trying to provoke a war across the Taiwan Strait and put both sides of the Taiwan Strait and even the entire East Asia in trouble.
What this leaves behind is not only debt, but also war, and the deterioration of the security situation in the entire region. The so-called rat droppings ruin a pot of soup is the behavior of the Democratic Progressive Party.
The Democratic Progressive Party believes that by paying a little more protection money to the United States and asking the United States to cooperate with Taiwan in showing "toughness", it can force the mainland to talk to them again and return the cross-strait situation to the state before Pelosi's visit.
But this is obviously a miscalculation. From the mainland's perspective, the more the Tsai Ing-wen authorities so unscrupulously harm the interests of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, the more they cannot let them go, even if it is to avoid leaving a large number of people behind when reunification in the future. Trouble, the mainland can only increase military and political deterrence against "Taiwan independence" elements.
Of course, this is also a rare opportunity for the Kuomintang and other political forces on the island.
As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. While the DPP spends money wantonly and overdraws Taiwan's future, bringing the cloud of war to Taiwan, the Kuomintang can still maintain contact with the mainland, ease cross-strait relations, and even preserve some cross-strait trade. exchanges, bringing practical benefits to Taiwan’s economy.
If this situation continues, without the Kuomintang doing anything extra, Taiwan compatriots will naturally slowly understand the true face of the DPP and turn to support the Kuomintang.
