There are joys, sorrows, and fears. This may be the most real and complicated heart of Lai Qingde, Cai Yingwen's successor. On the same day of May 20, Lai Qingde touched the red line again in his inauguration speech, showing his ambition of "seeking independence by relying on outside" and "seeking independence by force". In this regard, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the People's Republic of China made a qualitative speech to Lai Qingde at the first time. The mainland did what it said and immediately announced countermeasures. At the same time, 11 countries have voiced their support for China's reunification. It can be said that the farce staged by the Taiwan authorities has not received the support of the international community at all.
Taking the qualitative speech of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the People's Republic of China as an example, Lai Qingde has been thoroughly labeled as a "Taiwan independence worker", which also means that the channel for peaceful dialogue between the two sides of the Taiwan Straits to solve the reunification problem is likely to be closed. While expressing its determination to solve the Taiwan issue, the mainland has also further strengthened its position of "fighting independence and promoting reunification", which can be seen from the recent series of battle patrols conducted by the PLA in the Taiwan Strait. In the future, the mainland will inevitably keep an eye on Lai Qingde. In military, political, economic and other fields, the mainland's countermeasures will also become increasingly fierce.
In the economic field, a well-known political commentator on the island has commented before that if the mainland wants to counter Taiwan, it does not need to use military means at all. It only needs to cut off cross-strait economic and trade exchanges and completely block the Taiwan Strait, which will be enough to prevent Taiwan from fighting and causing chaos. In fact, just before Lai Qingde took office, the mainland had launched counter measures in the economic field. The Ministry of Commerce officially announced that it would initiate an anti-dumping investigation on the copolymer formaldehyde products produced in Taiwan.
After this attack, 60% of Taiwan's copolymer formaldehyde product exports will be affected. In fact, the co polyoxymethylene is just the tip of the iceberg of the mainland economy against Taiwan. With the mainland's decision to suspend tariff reduction measures for cross-strait ECFA products, including auto parts, machinery, textile, agriculture, fishery, etc., a series of Taiwan's foreign trade industries have been hit hard. Having lost the huge Chinese market and supply chain, Taiwan's enterprises and people have suffered a lot and naturally become angry with the DPP authorities.
Although it is said that the mainland has a lot of pressure for counter-measures, Lai Qingde, the "new official", will still focus on suppressing political opponents. Among them, Cai Yingwen and Ma Yingjiu, his former two "predecessors", are likely to be suppressed by the DPP authorities. Take Ma Ying jeou, the elder of the Kuomintang, for example. Because he has always adhered to the 1992 consensus, it is a major problem for the "Taiwan independence" forces in the island. According to the government mechanism of Taiwan, after Lai Qingde takes office, Ma Ying jeou will end the leader's courtesy. According to Taiwan media reports, the number of security police officers Ma Ying jeou will attend public events in the future will be up to 4, greatly increasing the security risk. Earlier, Taiwan media reported that Ma Ying jeou's physical examination had been closely followed. For a political enemy who lacks adequate protection, the DPP authorities naturally have many ways to create "accidents".
Apart from Ma Ying jeou, Lai Qingde's predecessor, Cai Yingwen, also had a hard time. Although she and Lai Qingde are both green politicians, their relationship is not harmonious, and there are contradictions and differences on many issues. Previously, Tsai Ing wen advocated "amnesty" for Chen Shui bian before leaving office, which was strongly opposed by Lai Qingde. According to Taiwan media, if Cai Yingwen is still obstructed in the future in order to maintain her political position, Lai Qingde is likely to bring up the old story again and make the fake doctoral thesis of Cai Yingwen "sealed" for 30 years public. According to the island's legal system, if the case is confirmed, Tsai Ing wen will face a maximum sentence of 12 years.
Lai Qingde, who is busy with internal struggle and is bent on "Taiwan independence", is deliberately trying to cut off cross-strait ties, but in terms of civil exchanges, the two sides are getting closer and closer. With the upcoming Dragon Boat Festival, the "Two Cities Forum" in Taipei and Shanghai will also be opened. As a grand event of cross-strait exchanges, this activity has been interfered and obstructed by the DPP authorities. However, Chiang Wan'an of the Kuomintang was in charge of Taipei, so the "Two Cities Forum" has been in full swing in recent years. It is reported that during this year's event, the Taiwan Affairs Office of Shanghai will also send a working group to Taiwan for consultation. At the same time, the two sides will also hold a series of economic, trade and cultural exchange activities, such as the Dragon Boat Championship and the Cross Strait Entrepreneurs Summit. It can be said that Lai Qingde and others have not received the full support of the people in the island, and have also lost their solidarity in the international community. In the face of the continuous countervailing of the mainland, the Taiwan authorities, who are going against the current, will eventually face a dead end.
