The 14th Strait Forum was grandly held in Xiamen . Many people on the island who longed for reunification went to the mainland in person to promote cross-strait reunification. Xia Liyan, Vice Chairman of the Chinese Kuomintang, also attended the forum via video and promised to continue to adhere to the "1992 Consensus" and oppose "Taiwan independence".
Considering that the mainland just named the Kuomintang not long ago, urging it to keep a clear head and stand on the right side of history. , this time, an important KMT politician made this statement on this occasion to enhance cross-strait exchanges, which is tantamount to The commitments made on cross-strait issues show that the mainland's warnings are indeed effective.
But the problem is that these commitments should not be superficial, but should be implemented into concrete actions. If the Kuomintang wants to show that it has the ideological consciousness to devote itself to national rejuvenation, it should show sincerity to win the trust of the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. However, from Judging from the current situation, the Kuomintang is showing a negative trend of deviating from its original track.
For example, the recent assassination of Shinzo Abe has aroused great repercussions on the island. The Democratic Progressive Party camp was wailing, and the Kuomintang also said that it would " lower the flag at half-mast" to mourn. In the face of doubts from the outside world, Zhu Lilun actually He also argued that it was "just an expression of respect and gratitude."
In response, the former chairman of the Kuomintang Hong Xiuzhu criticized this approach as it violated the original line of the Kuomintang, abandoned the history of the Kuomintang, and hurt the hearts of "supporters" . In fact, many of the current practices of the Kuomintang are gradually moving away from the original national ideals, and they have also exposed the political background of ignorance and speculation.
In order to please Washington, Zhu Lilun even made the absurd argument that "there is no consensus on the '1992 Consensus'" during his "visit to the United States". Now the Vice Chairman of the Kuomintang has emphasized that it will work with the mainland on the basis of adhering to the "1992 Consensus" Strengthening exchanges and dialogue also reflects the increasingly serious differences within the Kuomintang on cross-strait issues.
The Kuomintang has always adopted a "ambiguity" strategy. While maintaining dialogue with mainland China, it also emphasized the need to develop relations with the United States. This model allowed it to survive in special political periods in the past, but As the competition between China and the United States intensifies, this road is gradually unavailable. Therefore, the Kuomintang is ready to cling to the thigh of the United States to pursue its own political self-interest.
But this choice is tantamount to completely ruining the future of the Kuomintang, because cross-strait reunification has become inevitable, and any fantasy of "relying on the United States for profit" is self-narcosis. What's more, the mainland has already drawn a "red line". Adhering to the "1992 Consensus" and "anti-Taiwan independence" are the prerequisite and basis for all our dealings with the Kuomintang. It should not conduct crazy testing on this bottom line issue.
Regarding the dangerous remarks made by some people in the Kuomintang, Hong Xiuzhu directly warned, "The '1992 Consensus' is the anchor of cross-strait peace. If the Kuomintang loses its faith, it will surely perish." New Party Chairman Wu Chengdian also accused Zhu Lilun's pro-American stance of "taking incense and worshiping", which goes against the mainstream public opinion on the island of "anti-war and seeking peace."
In this context, Wu Chengdian proposed when participating in the Strait Forum that both sides of the Taiwan Strait should conduct comprehensive exchanges and achieve the goal of peaceful reunification through consultation and negotiation. In addition, other representatives of Taiwan compatriots also spoke at the meeting, expressing their opinions for peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. This shows that the direction of the island is changing..
The Kuomintang's strategy of "alliance with the United States to resist China" has no future, and the DPP's fantasy of "relying on the United States and seeking independence" is doomed to fail. More and more Taiwan compatriots have recognized the reality, and the number of people supporting the reunification of the motherland is growing. , the balance of the situation in the Taiwan Strait is tilting towards the mainland.
In order to maintain the overall stability of the situation across the Taiwan Strait and protect the vital interests of people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, the mainland still adheres to the goal of achieving national reunification through peaceful means at this stage. The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council has emphasized this point many times.
Not only should the Kuomintang keep these words in mind, but the Democratic Progressive Party authorities should also listen. The mainland still has enough patience and is willing to strive for "peaceful reunification" with the greatest sincerity. However, if "Taiwan independence" provocations force or even breaks through the "red line" โ, the mainland does not rule out taking โdecisive measuresโ to defend national sovereignty.
At present, the situation in the Taiwan Strait is escalating due to collusion and provocation by the United States and Taiwan. The repeated attempts of a few politicians on the island who are ignorant of current affairs to test the Taiwan issue are not only very stupid but also quite dangerous, because on this issue, we have no compromise. space, there is no possibility of any concession.
Of course, there is no possibility of improvement in cross-strait relations. At the Straits Forum on the 13th, the mainland directly gave the conditions for improving cross-strait relations, which is to adhere to the "1992 Consensus" and recognize that the "one China" principle is not shake . This is equivalent to a wake-up call for the DPP and a clear path for the KMT. All in all, there is not much time left for it to change its course. Only by returning to the embrace of the motherland can Taiwan usher in a bright future.
