Taiwan "nine-in-one" election ended, Kuomintang won 13 counties and cities, and the DPP won only 5 counties and cities, setting the worst record in 36 years. Tsai Ing-wen immediately resigned from the position of party chairman. Some people on the island said that the DPP has not fulfilled its election promises six years ago. Not only has it not effectively solved the gap between the rich and the poor, reformed the salary structure, and strived for labor rights and housing fairness, but also the class solidification has not been broken and is getting worse and worse. This is one of the main reasons why the DPP suffered a Waterloo in the election.
DPP only shouts slogans and does not do anything practical, especially using the promotion of "anti-China and Taiwan protection" as an election foundation, which makes the people feel deeply disgusted. In August this year, former U.S. House Speaker Pelosi fled to Taiwan, causing the Taiwan Strait to fall into a dangerous situation of war, and the people on the island were worried about being affected by the war. Therefore, in this "nine-in-one" election, we have to teach the DPP a lesson and give Tsai Ing-wen a slap to warn them not to play too much. It can be said that the social situation and public opinion on the island have undergone tremendous changes. If Tsai Ing-wen continues to be in the position of party chairman, it will inevitably have a negative impact on the elections after the DPP participates in two years. Therefore, Tsai Ing-wen had to "abdicate and give way to the virtuous" in order to protect the basic foundation of the DPP.
Taiwan media reported on December 5 that the DPP’s “anti-China and Taiwan protection” card had completely expired. Tsai Ing-wen just resigned because of the blame, and the Taiwan delegation arrived in the mainland. According to reports, Liu Zhaoxuan, chairman of the Taiwan Staff Chairman, led a delegation to the mainland and will attend the 2022 Cross-Strait Entrepreneur Summit held in Xiamen . This is the first physical summit in three years since the outbreak of the epidemic, and industrial and commercial groups across the Taiwan Strait will have face-to-face exchanges. The latest public opinion that we look forward to cross-strait peace continues to appear on the island, and the people are particularly looking forward to the return of cross-strait exchanges to normal.
In fact, the mainland has always pursued cross-strait integration and development, and hopes to continue to carry out cross-strait exchanges and exchanges after a period of hard work to enhance cross-strait economic and social integration. At the same time, hundreds of billions of dollars of economic dividends are released to the island every year, hoping to allow compatriots on the island to fully enjoy the benefits and development opportunities brought by the development of the motherland, increase the emotional identification of the people on the island with the mainland and nation, and heal the historical trauma of compatriots on the island. However, since Tsai Ing-wen came to power, especially since she was re-elected, she has continued to promote the process of "refusing unification and seeking independence", fomenting the sentiment of "anti-China and anti-China", obstructing exchanges and exchanges between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, and deliberately creating confrontation between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. The DPP puts political struggles and electoral interests as the priority, disregards people's livelihood, seriously damages the interests and well-being of the people on the island and deeply deteriorates cross-strait relations.
There is a point of view that the DPP’s defeat in the “nine-in-one” election is a matter of change in the people’s minds. The reason is very simple. The cross-strait confrontation between the DPP in power has deteriorated the economic and trade relations between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. Coupled with the severe impact of the epidemic, the island's economy continues to decline, and people's lives are becoming increasingly difficult. Because the DPP authorities advocated "anti-China" and "decoupled" the mainland, a large number of fruits and agricultural and fishery products in Taiwan cannot be sold to the mainland market, which greatly damaged the economic development of Taiwan. However, the DPP authorities not only did not repent and used limited economic resources to people's livelihood, but instead used taxpayers' hard-earned money to foreign military purchases, which not only aggravated the economic burden on the people on the island, but also increased the risk of war in the Taiwan Strait. The people on the island have trouble saying that they have to use votes to teach the DPP a lesson.
Let’s put aside the political level for the time being, during the Kuomintang’s administration, thanks to the adherence to the “1992 Consensus ”, cross-strait relations have been peacefully developed. Coupled with the strong support of the mainland’s economic policies to Taiwan, Taiwan’s economic development is unique. However, during the six years of administration under the administration, only a few industries such as semiconductors are left on the island, with the public unemployment rate remaining high, prices soaring, and the gap between the rich and the poor is widening. Tsai Ing-wen even gave the green light to move TSMC in the United States, and public grievances are everywhere on the island. Therefore, the people hope to use the votes in their hands to remove the DPP and allow capable politicians to lead them out of the dilemma.
Some Taiwanese media commented that the development of Taiwan is inseparable from exchanges and cooperation with the mainland. The political entanglement between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait is difficult to resolve for a while, but it can be adopted to take the method of easy first and difficult first and then political first, starting from the restoration of cross-strait exchanges. In addition to the Cross-Strait Entrepreneurs Summit, the 10th Strait Youth Festival vaccination sensation will also be held, and the Strait Youth Festival Summit, Cross-Strait Youth Cultural Exchange Week and other activities will also be held. It can be said that the mainland has released enough goodwill in restoring and promoting the peaceful development of cross-strait relations.
However, in the context of the Sino-US game, the DPP is still making a comeback for 2024 and regards "anti-China" as a "life-saving straw" for the turnaround. But public opinion cannot be violated, the general trend is irreversible, and unification is already unstoppable. The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly stated in the chapter "Promoting the Reunification of the Motherland" that we are willing to do our best to strive for the prospect of "peaceful reunification", but we will never promise to give up the use of force. This is aimed at the interference of external forces and the separatist plots of "Taiwan independence" rather than our Taiwanese compatriots. The motherland must be unified and will be unified, because this is the true will of the people, the righteousness and the general trend!
