Taiwanese leader Tsai Ing-wen, in the so-called "New Year's Day Speech" a few days ago, solemnly protested the mainland's so-called "military intrusion and diplomatic suppression" against Taiwan. She also said that "military is definitely not an option to resolve cross-strait differences" and so on. In response to Tsai Ing-wen's so-called "speech to the mainland" that was inconsistent with the cause, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council reiterated that the current tense and severe situation in the Taiwan Strait is rooted in the DPP authorities' attempt to change the fact that both sides of the Taiwan Strait belong to one China. Taking the dead end of "Taiwan independence" will only push Taiwan into the abyss. Some people on the island also pointed out that Taiwan's rulers should respond wisely to the one-China principle, otherwise the cross-strait confrontation between "seeking independence" and "containing independence" will only lead to a road of no return. For relevant content, please see the comprehensive report by our intern reporter Zhang Yongpei.

Tsai Ing-wen said that "military is definitely not an option to resolve cross-strait differences."

In this so-called "New Year's Day speech" that was described by the island's public opinion as a self-congratulatory speech, when talking about cross-strait relations, Tsai Ing-wen said that Taiwan's so-called position is "not to yield when encountering pressure, and not to make rash advances when receiving support." Military is definitely not an option to resolve cross-strait differences, and military conflicts will impact economic stability. She also so-called "called on" the mainland not to "misjudge the situation" and to prevent the expansion of so-called "military aggressiveness" internally.

Zhang Ronggong: Excluding the mainland's firm will to reunify, the situation in the Taiwan Strait may get worse

Former deputy secretary-general of the Chinese Kuomintang Zhang Ronggong believed in an interview with Hong Kong's "China Review News" that Tsai Ing-wen still avoided the political foundation that the two sides of the Taiwan Strait had, so her speech did not have any effect on easing the situation in the Taiwan Strait. As a leader, she should propose solutions, but she only declared that she wanted both sides of the Taiwan Strait to do whatever they wanted. The implication was that each side had its own business. She rejected the mainland's firm will to pursue national reunification, and had no intention of returning to the political basis of the cross-Strait consultation mechanism. The situation in the Taiwan Strait may get worse, instead of already being the worst.

Chang Ronggong: The key to peacefully handling cross-Strait relations lies in the one-China principle

Chang Ronggong pointed out that no one would like to see cross-Strait relations resolved militarily, so a political solution must be explored. This requires us to take "one China as the starting point for political settlement" seriously. Negating the one-China principle may lead to the opposite consequences: "One China is the end of military settlement." Zhang Ronggong said that the key to peacefully handling cross-Strait relations lies in the one-China principle. Now that there is a huge gap in military and economic power between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, Taiwan's rulers should respond wisely to the one-China principle. Otherwise, the cross-Strait confrontation between "independence seeking" and "independence containment" will only lead to a road of no return.

Taiwan media: "Anti-China" is still the panacea for the Democratic Progressive Party to manipulate elections

Taiwan's "Wang Bao" published an editorial on the 4th, pointing out that in order to cover up the incompetence of governance and local elections, Tsai Ing-wen's so-called "New Year's Day speech" continues to consume Hong Kong and continues to manipulate cross-strait tensions. It seems that "anti-China" is still the panacea for the DPP to manipulate elections, but it will not help at all to ease cross-strait relations.

The Tsai Ing-wen authorities have not only failed to take good care of the lives of the Taiwanese people, they have no intention of improving the cross-strait atmosphere and are committed to peacefully solving problems. Tsai Ing-wen said that "military is not an option to resolve cross-strait differences." However, we have only seen that the Tsai Ing-wen authorities continue to increase arms purchases and are complacent about the expanded military cooperation between the United States and Taiwan.

editorial believes that Tsai Ing-wen took the initiative to expose the sensitive topics of US military personnel in Taiwan during interviews with foreign media, creating the illusion that the United States will support Taiwan in the Taiwan Strait war, and further confirming the outside world's accusations against the DPP authorities of "relying on foreign countries to seek independence." The cross-strait war is fierce and dangerous, but the DPP authorities cannot see any political efforts to prevent war.

The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council: Taking the dead end of "Taiwan independence" will only push Taiwan into the abyss

In response to Tsai Ing-wen's relevant remarks in the so-called "New Year's Day Speech," spokesperson Zhu Fenglian reiterated that the current tense situation in the Taiwan Strait is severe. They have repeatedly claimed to be "non-provocative", but in fact they continue to create lies, escalate hostility and sell hatred for political gain.The so-called "four insistences" contain the evil intention of splitting the country. Taking the dead end of "Taiwan independence" will only push Taiwan into the abyss and bring serious disasters to the majority of Taiwan compatriots.

The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council: We hope that compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait will work together to promote the complete reunification of the motherland.

Zhu Fenglian said that realizing the complete reunification of the motherland is the common aspiration of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. We are willing to strive for the prospect of peaceful reunification with the greatest sincerity and our best efforts. However, if the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces continue to provoke and persecute, or even break the red line, we will have to take drastic measures. The successful practice of " one country, two systems " in Hong Kong cannot be undermined by any force's rumors, and the evil actions of disrupting Hong Kong and seeking "independence" will never succeed. We sincerely hope that compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait will work together to move forward hand in hand, jointly oppose "Taiwan independence" adventures and manipulation by external forces, jointly safeguard peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait, and jointly promote the complete reunification of the motherland.
