Taiwan Affairs Office of the CPC Central Committee announced that sanctions were imposed on a group of "Taiwan independence" diehards included in the list. The first person on the sanctions list was Taiwan's representative to the United States Xiao Meiqin.
Who is Xiao Meiqin? As a senior and stubborn "Taiwan independence" member on Taiwan, she was born in Japan. Her mother is an American, a music teacher, and her father Xiao Qingfen is from Tainan County, Taiwan Province. She can know a little about her stubborn "Taiwan independence" position based on her birth background alone.
Xiao Meiqin graduated from the Department of East Asian Studies at Oberlin University in 1993, received a master's degree in political science from Columbia University in the United States in 1995, and also served as a "legislator" of the Democratic Progressive Party. In 2000, when "Taiwan independence" Chen Shui-bian participated in the local elections in Taiwan, Xiao Mei-qin became the deputy head of Chen Shui-bian's youth election team; after Chen Shui-bian was elected, Xiao Mei-qin became an advisor and translator, thus starting a special relationship with Chen Shui-bian who was unknown and long-term accused by all walks of life in Taiwan. In November 2000, Taiwan's "New News" reported that Lu Xiulian informed Taiwanese media about the scandal and suggested that Chen Shui-bian had an ambiguous relationship with Xiao Meiqin, which caused an uproar in the political arena on the island. In the same year, the new book "Tang Fei - In the Critical Era" co-authored by Taiwanese female writer Zhou Yuko and Ning Yuhua revealed that Chen Shui-bian had an unusual relationship between men and women in his office, just like the Taiwanese version of the "Lewinsky Scandal". It became a hot topic in society for a time.
Xiao Meiqin, who has a stubborn "Taiwan independence" stance, has been rising all the way within the Democratic Progressive Party with special favor and personal support from Chen Shui-bian. She has successively served as director of the Democratic Progressive Party's "International Affairs Department", secretary-general of the "Asian Freedom and Democratic Alliance", director of the "Taiwan Democratic Foundation", vice chairman of the "Taiwan Tibet Exchange Foundation", spokesperson of the "Taiwan American Members Association", and secretary-general of the "Taiwan-Japanese Members Exchange Promotion Association". From these various so-called "public offices", we can see the evil path of "Taiwan independence" that Xiao Meiqin has taken step by step over the years.
As early as 2008, when Tsai Ing-wen was the chairman of the Democratic Progressive Party, Xiao Meiqin served as his special assistant. Since 2010, in order to help the DPP leverage the Kuomintang’s “iron-tip area” Hualien County, Xiao Meiqin has planned here for six years and finally defeated the Kuomintang candidate. In addition to their work intersections, the two have a lot of commonalities: they both studied overseas, never got married, and they also established the character of "cat slave". Even the cats raised by Tsai Ing-wen's family were brought from Xiao Meiqin. Xiao Meiqin is Tsai Ing-wen’s best friend. How good is the relationship between the two? This can be seen from Tsai Ing-wen’s “emperor” of Xiao Meiqin as Taiwan’s “representative to the United States”.
Xiao Meiqin, who is getting farther and farther on the road of "Taiwan independence", often publishes articles in international media in English, unscrupulously exaggerating his "Taiwan independence" proposition, and even arrogantly declares that "Taiwan is already a sovereign and independent country, and should "Taiwan independence" in the name of Taiwan, inciting the international community to support "Taiwan independence".
In March this year, the US " Washington Post " published Xiao Meiqin's article "Ukraine's Revelation to Taiwan". The Chinese Embassy in the United States immediately responded solemnly, saying that the Taiwan issue is fundamentally different from the Ukrainian issue, and that the so-called "threat" of Taiwan does not make sense at all. As Taiwan's largest export market and the source of trade surplus, the mainland can only bring real interests and well-being to Taiwan compatriots. How can it be a threat? "The list of "Taiwan independence" diehard elements released by
is not the entire list. He warns that the "Taiwan independence" diehard elements must stop and dare to test the law with their own strength and will definitely be severely punished.
