There have been constant turmoil in the Taiwan Strait recently. Although the DPP Tsai Ing-wen authorities on the island suffered a disastrous defeat in the local county and mayor elections, they still have not stopped colluding with the United States. Tsai Ing-wen announced on the 27th that the military service on the island will be extended from the current four months to one year. And this is not only a conspiracy of the Democratic Progressive Party, but also the Americans instigating it behind the scenes. The United States has already passed relevant authorization bills and will soon provide Taiwan with a large amount of military equipment and military loans. At the same time, they will also select Americans to serve on the island of Taiwan next year. Outside analysts believe that this is equivalent to the role of "supervising the army." Lai Qingde, who is vying for the chairmanship of the Democratic Progressive Party, is also actively connecting with grassroots forces. In order to be successfully elected, he took the initiative to propose the strategy of "peacefully protecting Taiwan". The purpose of these two strategies, soft and hard, is to delay the cross-strait situation and continue to create chaos.

The relationship between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait is about to enter the deep water area, and the original struggle strategy is also facing new requirements for transformation and diversion. Taiwan’s Democratic Progressive Party Tsai Ing-wen authorities have about two years left in their term. At this stage, they will never abandon the so-called "rejecting reunification with force" and "relying on foreign countries to respect themselves." Tsai Ing-wen has decided to extend the military service period on the island from 4 months to one year. At the same time, the so-called " alternative service " that people on the island originally used to evade military service will also be subject to strict restrictions in the future, and adult males will not be allowed to evade military service. Taiwan's defense department has also proposed to ensure that every service member can complete a training program of 800 rounds of live ammunition shooting. Anti-armor, defense against drones and other projects will also be included in the island's service subjects. The trend of rising tensions between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait will become more obvious, and as the intensity of service on the island increases, the combat effectiveness of the Taiwanese people will also increase, which will undoubtedly be an obstacle to the road to future reunification.

The Taiwan authorities also plan to introduce the training model of the US military, which will allow the United States to legitimately send officers to serve on the island of Taiwan. This is also the result that the Americans hope to see. According to Taipei City Councilor Xu Qiaoxin, the Taipei office of the American Institute in Taiwan organizes student visits every year, and in recent years, every student is asked the same question: "Are you willing to be a soldier?" Xu Qiaoxin also bluntly said: "Americans will want to have interactive sessions with students, and they will definitely ask two questions during the interaction. The first is whether they are willing to serve as soldiers, and the second is whether both men and women should serve in the military." Many people think that Americans want to turn Taiwan into the second Ukraine, but judging from the current situation, the Americans seem to want to turn our country's Taiwan island into the second "Israel." The United States is just exporting weapons to Ukraine, hoping that Ukraine will become a quagmire that will drag down its opponents. Its strategic expectations are not long-term. But for the island of Taiwan, the Americans actually have deeper plans and designs.

The United States wants to turn Taiwan Province into a region where "all men and women are soldiers" and "all people are soldiers", which will cause us to delay and misjudge the liberation of Taiwan. Simply put, is a "drag" tactic. The Americans do not want to go head-to-head with the mainland on a frontal battlefield, but in order to make the "drag" tactic more effective, they have even recently proposed sending Americans to Taiwan to serve as affairs officers, and this farce has already been staged on the island. In addition to the original Taipei and Kaohsiung offices of the American Institute in Taiwan, if Americans want to directly enter Taiwan's political arena, they will inevitably have an impact on the island's structure. The purpose of is naturally to monitor the Taiwan authorities and play the role of "Taiwan Emperor" and "Supervisory Army". Whether it is the current Democratic Progressive Party authorities or the Kuomintang that may come to power in the future, their "pro-American" line is the same, but the degree is different. For the DPP, being pro-American is their only option, but this is not necessarily the case for the KMT.
Americans intervene in Taiwan
Judging from the current situation, the Kuomintang is likely to make a comeback in the future and regain power on the island. In 2008, Ma Ying-jeou proposed the idea of "no unification, no independence, no force" and successfully gained the trust of Americans. But when Americans discovered that cross-strait relations were getting warmer, they felt that something was wrong. The former chairman of the American Institute in Taiwan even cursed "Ma Ying-jeou is a liar." This is why Americans supported Tsai Ing-wen of the Democratic Progressive Party and abandoned the Kuomintang. After this experience, Americans are naturally worried that the Kuomintang will once again turn to the mainland after taking power, so they will directly intervene in cross-strait issues. Once Americans become the island's affairs officers, all the core secrets on the island will no longer be secrets to the United States, and all exchanges and contacts between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait will be closely monitored by the Americans.

Compared with the aggressiveness of the Americans, the behavior of Taiwan's deputy leader Lai Qingde, who is running for chairman of the Democratic Progressive Party, seems a bit strange. In order to become the chairman of the Voter Party, he gathered a lot of grassroots forces in the grassroots. In name, he was listening, but in fact he was selling his own political ideas. He has recently launched the slogan of "safeguarding Taiwan with peace", which seems to be an attempt to replace Tsai Ing-wen's slogan of "fighting China and safeguarding Taiwan". This seems to be contrary to the views of the Americans, but the underlying reason is the same, which is to continue to delay the process between the two sides and delay the mainland's judgment on the urgency of cross-strait issues. Lai Qingde calls himself a "pragmatic Taiwan independence worker". "Pragmatic" is his consistent style, and he is best at confusing the mainland. Americans sing blackface, while Lai Qingde sings and whiteface . One hard and one soft can keep the drama going. The future Democratic Progressive Party will inevitably prepare for war internally and continuously improve the combat effectiveness of its soldiers. On the other hand, the two sides of the Taiwan Strait maintain the situation of "fighting without breaking up" and continue to cause trouble under the guise of "peacefully protecting Taiwan."
Lai Qingde's "peaceful Taiwan protection" is a pure lie
Lai Qingde, who was born as a doctor, is different from Tsai Ing-wen, who was born as a lawyer. His tactics will be more realistic and more confusing and destructive. Regarding Lai Qingde’s banner of “peacefully protecting Taiwan”, the media in Taiwan have also been discussing a lot in recent days. Some media commented on Lai Qingde's move and mentioned:
"In addition to adjusting strategies and attitudes on cross-Strait issues, the most important thing is whether the DPP can view the nature of cross-Strait relations 'pragmatically' and make further adjustments."
So what exactly is "pragmatic"? is in the local language environment of Taiwan, that is, Taiwan can not only benefit from the mainland, but also economic measures similar to " small three links " can be restored again. However, Taiwan can stay away from the mainland, continue to promote their "separatist" arguments, and at the same time satisfy the Americans. These three points of should be the general direction of Lai Qingde’s future. As a mainland, we must not be easily fooled by Lai Qingde's banner of "peacefully protecting Taiwan". At the same time, we must also pay close attention to the series of processes by which Americans enter Taiwan Island. Mainland China has long had too broad requirements for Taiwan, and many regulations are not detailed. Now it is time to "set rules" for politicians on the island. We must clearly tell them what kind of behavior will lead to what kind of consequences, and what kind of price they will have to pay. The most important thing is to break the delaying tactics of the US and Taiwan authorities, and only by taking the real initiative can we gain the upper hand in future situations.
