Since Tsai Ing-wen came to power, the relationship between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait has undergone tremendous changes. The United States has been constantly fanning the flames on the Taiwan Strait issue and playing the "Taiwan card" to curb China. In the eyes of the Democratic Progressive Party, the United States is on the surface and shouting "sending troops to protect Taiwan", but in fact, it is not the intention of the drunkard, which stimulates mainland China and causes cross-strait tensions. The Taiwan authorities even echo and play the role of a "pawn".
With the tension in cross-strait relations, politicians on the island also began to express their opinions. On the evening of October 19, when Ma Ying-jeou attended the lecture on "The present and future of cross-strait relations", he asked the audience "Is it possible to restore the 'national unified program?", Ma Ying-jeou said that the time for recovery has passed. At present, it is enough to deal with cross-strait relations using the "Constitution" and the "Regulations on Cross-Strait People's Relations".
Ma Ying-jeou emphasized that the island should prepare for war, but it should be more important to "avoid war" and try to negotiate and negotiate to achieve peace by "planning together" rather than "seeking peace". At the same time, Ma Ying-jeou said that Taiwan must not provoke the mainland casually.
In addition, Ma Ying-jeou also put forward two conditions for cross-strait reunification . He said that if the mainland wants to discuss reunification with Taiwan, Taiwan should emphasize two aspects. First, cross-strait reunification should adopt a peaceful approach, and cannot use force or carry out "force threats"; second, regardless of whether the mainland is holding a "referendum", "Taiwan must have a referendum" . He believes that a peaceful approach and a democratic process are essential, so that unification will be accepted by the people on both sides of the strait.
This is not the first time Ma Ying-jeou has been talking about cross-strait relations. Last month, he emphasized at a symposium that in the turbulent international situation, Taiwan’s security strategy should be “preparing for war, avoiding war and seeking peace” . What Tsai Ing-wen said is basically correct to adhere to the principle of “not fearing war and not seeking war”, but it is also a rather empty slogan, which can only be used as the bottom line, and there is no need to emphasize it particularly.
Ma Ying-jeou said that during his term of office, he repeatedly emphasized that "with mainland friends and Japanese pro-US" is the grand strategy of "national security", which is to hope that the two sides should further increase cooperation between the two sides within the possible range in order to seek peaceful development. Both sides should not only "avoid war" but also "plan peace".
From Ma Ying-jeou's series of statements, it can be seen that he is essentially no different from the "Taiwan independence" on the island. It is just that one is "open independence" and the other is "secret independence". Tsai Ing-wen wants to engage in "Taiwan independence", but his own wisdom is insufficient, so she can only "rely rely on the United States to seek independence" and make full use of the United States' opportunities to curb the mainland. All policies are completely turned to the United States, and all the US arms are accepted.
Now Ma Ying-jeou has revealed his fox tail. He just hopes that cross-strait relations will continue to maintain a certain state, but he does not mention at all for peaceful reunification. As for the "referendum" he proposed, it is even more delusional. Taiwan is not qualified to request a referendum to determine the fate of Taiwan. If a "referendum" is to be held, it must be held in the whole of China, and the decision must be made by China's 1.4 billion people.
And Ma Ying-jeou and others knew that the Taiwan military could not be the opponent of the People's Liberation Army, so he hoped that the two sides of the Taiwan Strait could maintain dialogue and exchanges and avoid ending the state of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait in a war-like manner. The Kuomintang is also constantly moving closer to the Democratic Progressive Party. Since Pelosi fled to Taiwan, Zhu Lilun has said shamelessly, "The Kuomintang has always taken a pro-American line." Regarding mainland military exercises, the Kuomintang announced that "condemns all behaviors that endanger peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait", which is exactly the same as the DPP's attitude.
The so-called "preparation for war" is actually similar to the "military protection of Taiwan" supported by the Democratic Progressive Party. The "avoid war" proposed by Ma Ying-jeou is to remind Tsai Ing-wen's authorities not to provoke the mainland, because once a conflict breaks out on the cross-strait, Taiwan has no chance of winning. However, if the status quo continues to maintain, Taiwan can use the method of actively seeking dialogue with the mainland to seek more political benefits. It has to be said that compared with Tsai Ing-wen, Ma Ying-jeou is much more "smart and calculating".
First of all, the two sides of the Taiwan Strait are one, and Taiwan is always an inalienable part of China. They have no right to request the so-called "referendum" to hold, which is actually just to conceal their ambitions of "independence". As the "Taiwan independence" elements on the island become increasingly strong, we cannot have any illusions about them. The mainland has always hoped that the two sides of the Taiwan Strait can achieve peaceful reunification, but they must also be prepared for the worst. The motherland must be unified and must be unified. This is the consensus of 1.4 billion Chinese.
