An open letter to Taiwanese villagers, especially the dark green

I am an 83-year-old philosopher, busy writing an important book about Laozi , but seeing that relatives, friends and everyone in Taiwan are involved in the election storm in the teapot, I can't help but say something I should say.

In fact, who Taiwan chooses has little impact on Taiwan's future, because Taiwan's future is not decided in the hands of Taiwan, but in the hands of China (mainland) and the United States. Han Kuo-yu , Terry Gou , Ke P... Anyone can guarantee four years of peace in the Taiwan Strait. If Tsai Ing-wen is re-elected, the sky will not fall, and she will not dare to declare independence, and she will not even dare to "independence" or "referendum", just like now.

They are all talking about fighting for the economy, but fighting for the economy is a scam. How can we fight for the economy if cross-strait relations are not well established? There seems to be a consensus among candidates on cross-strait relations, and they all recognize one China, that is, the Republic of China; they do not accept , one country, two systems, and .

But you don’t accept one country, two systems, what do you accept? It means that none of them can solve the cross-strait problem.

First of all, let’s talk about green’s position. In fact, I understand the position of “Taiwan independence” very well. I may be one of the first people to advocate “Taiwan independence”. More than 60 years ago, I wrote in my diary that if people from other provinces treat Taiwanese people equally, I would advocate unification. If people from other provinces treat Taiwanese people unequally, they advocate independence.

I have many strange friends, one of the oldest and best friends is Liu Fuzeng. He not only advocates Taiwan's independence, but also hopes that Taiwan will become a state in the United States. Recently, I made a stranger friend named Cai Bingtang. He kept showing me the information to prove that Taiwan belongs to Japan in international law.

In fact, most of the people in their own family advocate "Taiwan independence". Let’s not talk about a lot of theories. We have selected three "presidents" who advocate "Taiwan independence". If "Taiwan independence" is possible, they have already done it.

"Taiwan independence" tycoons, including my junior high school classmate Li Yuanzhe, did they want to persuade Tsai Ing-wen to launch "Taiwan independence worker" (Lai Ching-te)? Even the "Taiwan independence worker" said that if he was elected, he would not declare "independence". He said that Taiwan was originally an independent country, and its name was the Republic of China.

What? Isn’t the Republic of China a foreign regime? We should overthrow it quickly and establish the "Republic of Taiwan"! So even "Taiwan independence workers" are playing word games. Why has our "Taiwan independence president" not declared independence yet! Don't dare! It means that "Taiwan independence" has always been a lie.

Now even those who advocate "Taiwan independence" are holding the mess of the Republic of China. It's a joke! This mess is a government in exile despised by the Chinese people 70 years ago. It can barely be called a "country" because there are 17 small countries that recognize you. Therefore, you have to choose the "President" of the Republic of China.

Now it looks like there is really no difference between all candidates. They cannot solve cross-strait relations, and they all oppose one country, two systems.

You don’t want one country, two systems, so are there any other solutions? If not, I'm afraid there will be only one country and one system.

Let me tell you, one country, two systems are actually a deception to mainlanders. I think after Hong Kong's "anti-extradition" this time, the mainland people began to oppose the implementation of one country, two systems in Taiwan.

As a result, everyone is dragging it. Blue doesn’t want to find a way to drag it out in a unified way. Green knows that they can’t be alone, so they try to drag it out as much as possible.

drag is useless. It cannot drag China (Mainland), it can only drag Taiwan.

I said that Taiwan’s election was a storm in a teapot, and this teapot was floating in the sea. There is a real big storm in the sea, that is, the Sino-US battle for hegemony. This great storm will determine the fate of Taiwan and the fate of the world.

To summarize briefly, China has caught up with the Western modernization for three hundred years within 30 years. In the past 30 years, we have not only caught up, but also have begun to surpass the West in many important scientific and technological fields.

I can conclude that China has surpassed the United States in its comprehensive national strength.

The so-called comprehensive national strength depends on three aspects: first, economy, second, military strength, and third, technology.The most important thing about the economy is not GDP, but the total industrial output value. China's total industrial output value has exceeded the combination of the United States, Japan and Germany.

…

In short, China has essentially surpassed the United States. The United States has been busy fighting for nearly 30 years, but suddenly woke up and found that it had been surpassed by China. Therefore, Trump would say that he wants the United States to be great again because he knows that the United States is no longer the greatest.

The United States thought that now was his last chance to suppress China, so it launched a trade war and attempted to prevent Huawei from entering the US market. No one can imagine that China's communication technology surpasses the United States, and far exceeds that of the United States. Can you stop excellent products from entering the market? Isn’t this a joke to use national security emergency orders to stop it?

This is really a desperate move. But it's too late, too late.

China said that it doesn’t want to fight, it’s not afraid of fighting, it’s time to fight to the end. This is a very confident and a very real thing.

Not only has China won, but the United States will accelerate its recession. I predict that the recession in the United States will come faster and worse than anyone thinks. If you don't believe it, just wait.

If what I said above is correct, we must carefully consider the future of Taiwan.

I think unification is the only way, and the faster the better, there is really a little hurry.

Because China is busy competing for hegemony with the United States now. China is busy making arrangements around the world every day, not only with the Belt and Road Initiative, but also promoting a community with a shared future for mankind. Taiwan is actually a small problem for him. After suppressing the United States, it is easy to take back Taiwan.

The current Chinese leaders are the gentlest and softest to Taiwan. They not only say that they will respect the lifestyle of Taiwanese people and the existing social system, but also say that the content of one country, two systems can be discussed with all walks of life in Taiwan, and have already released the greatest kindness to Taiwan.

Because of the "anti-extradition" incident in Hong Kong, the mainland has rebounded a lot and began to doubt the one country, two systems. I think we should talk to them quickly before the mainland changes their ideas.

does not solve the cross-strait problem, and there is no way to solve Taiwan’s economic difficulties. Taiwan politicians have always been talking about the westward direction or the southward direction, and now they are talking about the northward direction. In fact, the only solution is to be mediocre. The whole world is moving towards the center, because China is the locomotive of the world's economy now. The sooner Taiwan will take the economic train that has changed the world, the better.

Some Taiwan’s “special problems” are like our universities and not enough students, and many universities are facing closures. We should open the door to universities. Some mainland students who want to go to college can turn Taiwan into a higher education center in China.

On the other hand, the mainland is promoting the great cause of reviving Chinese culture, and Taiwan has preserved Chinese culture quite well due to historical reasons. We can provide a lot of help from the mainland in this regard. There is another point in Taiwan in terms of geography and culture, between the East and West cultures. We have been westernized for a long time and have a deeper intensity. The pros and cons of this can be used for reference in the mainland.

I think unification is the best for the people of Taiwan. Our generation is honored to see China's rejuvenation and China's rise. We should be excited and participate in the investment and share the beginning of this prosperous era in China.

Cross-strait relations are an emotional issue between the people, and we must solve this problem left by history. Taiwan cannot be hostile to the other party, and should not recognize the thief as his father. Now is the time for us to take the initiative to release our kindness to the mainland. It is very important to automatically express goodwill and automatically negotiate peaceful reunification, so that we can strive for the best conditions for Taiwan. When the troops arrived at the city, there was nothing to talk about.

You see, whites have so many colonies in Africa, blacks have armed revolution, and after victory, all whites are driven back to Europe. Only the white South Africans automatically talk to blacks about peaceful transfer of dominance before they are overthrown. As a result, only the whites in South Africa stayed and lived well.

Most of the people who read this letter will say that I am farting. It doesn’t matter, even if I fart, please stay or share it. When you come back in five or ten years, see if what I said is really farting.

Someone will scold me for being old or go back to China, I will answer you first. People will grow old and die. If you want to live as old as me, you need some luck and a little bit of eloquence. As for going back to China, I am already in Taiwan, and my ancestors have lived in Taiwan for eight generations. I was born in Taiwan and prepared to die in Taiwan. No one is qualified to tell me to go anywhere. I may also have some qualifications to ask some people to go to the United States or Japan.
