Tsai Ing-wen and Shi Ming (Taiwan media)
Recently, the 101-year-old "Taiwan independence" tycoon Shi Ming came out to show his presence again. Shi Ming posted a message on social networking website late at night on the 3rd, "If Tsai Ing-wen is not on the 2020 election, Shi Ming and the 400-year "independence movement" will all be thrown away." Netizens on the island sarcastically said, "Shi Ming is old and confused, haha!" "You can't be independent for 400 years, how can you still be 'independent'?"
According to Taiwan's "Central News Agency", Tsai Office "Guozheng" Wu Lipei said on the 3rd that he will join forces with former "Guozheng" Peng Mingmin, "Presbyterian Church" pastor Gao Junming, "China Research Institute" former president Li Yuanzhe, and others to demand Tsai Ing-wen give up re-election in 2020. This move is also regarded by the outside world as a "forced palace". However, Shi Ming publicly supported Tsai Ing-wen and lied to say that "'Taiwan independence' has reached 99.9%, leaving only 0.1% of the final battle." Cai hurried out to thank "Ou Jisang (Uncle), thank you so much, please take care of yourself!"
Some netizens left a message saying, "There are many 'Taiwan independence's faults, and I haven't seen anyone play really." "400 years? Haha" "Mr. Shi Ming, I can't be independent for 400 years, what's the point of being 'independent'?"
"Listen to someone who may not have a tomorrow, Taiwan will follow there will not be a tomorrow."
In fact, Tsai Ing-wen and Shi Ming have interacted many times. In November 2018, Shi Ming, who had just celebrated his 101st birthday, was injured in a fall and was sent to the hospital for treatment. After hearing the news, Tsai Ing-wen hurried to visit the hospital. Netizens on the island criticized angrily at the time, "Don't make a show?" "Please care about Taiwan, otherwise if you continue to rule like this, there will be a riot one day."

In 2017, Shi Ming held a "100th birthday sharing session". On the same day, Tsai Ing-wen appeared and hugged Shi Ming. Shi Ming claimed at the time, "Tsai Ing-wen has a very good ability and is the only talent in Taiwan at present. Don't let the Kuomintang re-rule." As soon as Shi Ming's remarks came out, he was bombarded by netizens at that time, "It's really a scheming thing." "I want to play with 'Taiwan independence' to cheat votes again." "It's really a good person who doesn't live long, and it's a disaster that has left a thousand years of disasters."
Regarding "Taiwan independence", the spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council has repeatedly emphasized that there is only one China in the world, and the mainland and Taiwan belong to the same China. This has irrefutable legal and factual basis, and is also a reality recognized by the international community. Facts will tell these people that "Taiwan independence" is a dead end that cannot be achieved.
