In 2021, in response to the "Taiwan independence" forces who are using foreign self-respect to seek separatism, the mainland has adopted multiple means such as normalizing patrols and making a "Taiwan independence list" to cut off the hands of the sponsors behind them to deter the "Taiwan independence" forces that are pulling Taiwan Island into the abyss.
In the New Year's greetings, the national leaders once again reiterated their wish for reunification. On the first day of the New Year in 2022, the People's Liberation Army military aircraft entered the southwestern airspace of Taiwan for patrol on time.
From the tensions across the Taiwan Strait throughout last year to the insistence on "checking in" now, Tsai Ing-wen, who felt the determination of the mainland, gave a New Year's Day speech on January 1st, which was tough but not without fear.
The "New Year's Day Speech" with a strong tone and a soft heart
So Tsai Ing-wen mentioned in her speech, "Remind the Beijing authorities not to misjudge the situation." Military is definitely not an option to resolve cross-strait differences.
What does it mean not to misjudge the situation? The Democratic Progressive Party and its ilk are mostly flattering and flattering, draining Taiwan's wallet to engage in arms sales, and generously sacrificing people's appetites to Laizhu Nuclear Food, just to rely on external forces to achieve their goals. They say not to misjudge, but in their hearts they are always worried that they will push the mainland and cross-strait conflicts will occur.
Why is the military definitely not an option? Because despite its aggressive purchases of U.S. armaments, Taiwan is far behind the mainland in terms of the status of its soldiers, its strength, and its military strength. This is evident from the fact that the DPP itself first issued a "Wartime Civilian Survival and Evacuation Manual," triggering panic on the island.
Tsai Ing-wen also mentioned that "military conflicts will impact economic stability." In fact, in order to safeguard the normal interests of Taiwan compatriots, the mainland continued to implement the agreed tax rates after the "Cross-Strait Economic and Trade Cooperation Framework Agreement" (ECFA), which was suspended to the dismay of the DPP authorities, after pineapples, lotus mist and other fruits were blocked from the mainland. On the contrary, Taiwan now, under the management of the Democratic Progressive Party authorities, not only has tense relations with the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, but also suffers from high housing prices and low fertility, skyrocketing prices, endless vicious social incidents , and power and water outages and energy shortages. However, these are all covered up by the DPP authorities' glorious "internal propaganda."
Therefore, while Tsai Ing-wen encouraged herself, "Don't yield when faced with pressure, and don't rush forward when receiving support," she also shouted to the mainland not to use force rashly. In Tsai Ing-wen's delusion, she also has the illusion that the United States will provide her with assistance and support. After all, at the last moment at the end of 2021, the United States also passed a number of Taiwan-related defense authorization bills for fiscal year 2022, including "helping Taiwan strengthen self-defense," "assisting Taiwan to develop asymmetric combat capabilities," and "inviting Taiwan to participate in the 2022 Rim of the Pacific military exercises as appropriate."
"Taiwan independence" is a dead end, reunification is the way to go
Tsai Ing-wen's "toughness" did not last long, and the mainland responded from both sides.
First, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council refuted Tsai Ing-wen's New Year's Day speech. The reason why the situation in the Taiwan Strait is tense and serious is that the DPP authorities colluded with external forces to fight against the mainland and attempted to change the fact that both sides of the Taiwan Strait belong to one China. They have repeatedly claimed to be "non-provocative", but in fact they continue to create lies, escalate hostility and sell hatred for political gain.
On the other hand, the People's Liberation Army's regular patrols, and the spokesperson of the Ministry of National Defense made it clear that they are aimed at "Taiwan independence" on the island. When the Democratic Progressive Party authorities repeatedly hyped up PLA patrols, the Ministry of National Defense not only did not refute it, but also blatantly told Tsai Ing-wen’s authorities that the actual number of aircraft sorties dispatched was only a lot more. The implication is that you are not afraid of the Tsai Ing-wen authorities hyping up the "mainland China threat theory" and also warning "Taiwan independence". You have not even been able to detect the real sorties. If a war really breaks out, what can you do? If Tsai Ing-wen's authorities still dare to issue provocations, the PLA's military pressure in response will only be greater.
On New Year's Day, there was a shocking scene on the New Year's streets in Taipei. People at the "National Headquarters" who have long opposed Tsai Ing-wen on the island hung up super-large banners reading "Motherland, I love you." Red banners were raised while the five-star red flag was being sung while the national anthem was being sung. They held up signboards in their hands that read "I love the motherland, support the motherland, and will not be a traitor" and "Why should Chinese people in Taiwan embarrass their motherland?" The people shouted that we "want reunification"! (Jin Xuan)
