With the "United States and Taiwan" as the backers, the "anti-China" parliamentarians from 39 countries visiting Taiwan, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council expressing its attitude, and the People's Liberation Army issuing a strong warning, does Lai Qingde still have a follow-up move?
A few days ago, the so-called "Inter-Parliamentary Union on China Policy" dispatched dozens of transnational parliamentarians to Taiwan and held an "annual summit," the main topic of which was to distort UN Resolution 2758 and find a legal basis for the "Taiwan independence" forces to participate in international activities. The alliance was led by United States Congressman Marco Rubio in 2020 and is funded by the United States Endowment for Democracy and the Taiwan Endowment for Democracy, with the main purpose of interfering in China's internal affairs and containing China's development. The Taiwan authorities, as the "financier" behind it, have held four summits and many meetings in the past four years, the main content of which is to promote the participation of the Taiwan region in international organizations, hype up the "mainland threat" or exaggerate the impact of the conflict in the Taiwan Strait, and call on all countries in the world to prevent China's reunification. Judging from the location, the organization chose Taipei for this round of summit, which was obviously secretly promoted by Taiwan regional leader Lai Qingde.
First, under pressure from all walks of life on both sides of the strait, the Taiwan authorities have returned the bodies of the victims of the Kinmen ship collision incident and compensated and apologized. Second, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) has continued to encircle and cruise around Taiwan, and has continued to break historical records and approach Taiwan Island. Third, the Taiwan authorities have lost face on international occasions; the World Health Assembly has once again rejected Taiwan's participation; at the ongoing Paris Olympics, the people on the island were sanctioned for holding "Taiwan independence" propaganda slogans on the spot, and it was useless for Lai Qingde to protest. It is not difficult to see that the mixed struggle in the Taiwan Strait has already begun, and after the mainland is unable to compete with the mainland in military, political, and law enforcement, Lai Ching-te has brought in reinforcements, and on the one hand he has declared that he will increase the purchase of foreign troops to arm the Taiwan military, and on the other hand, he has organized "anti-China" parliamentarians from 39 countries to come to Taipei for a meeting with "Jinyuan diplomacy" in an attempt to put pressure on the mainland.
The mainland does not pay attention to the rabble that Lai Qingde has moved into, and on issues involving national sovereignty and territorial integrity, even if it picks up 39 countries with one another, it will not give up an inch of land. The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council directly tore off the "fig leaf" of the Taiwan authorities in response to the political farce manipulated by Lai Qingde, saying that this move was an "anti-China drama" staged by the DPP with the cooperation of foreign parliamentarians, which would only make the Taiwan region more marginalized in the international community. At the recent meeting marking the 97 th anniversary of the founding of the PLA, Chinese Defense Minister Dong Jun issued a warning to the Taiwan authorities, saying that the PLA is always ready to defend national interests and curb and smash all separatist acts.
In the 24 hours from 3 to 4 August, 36 PLA fighter planes flew to patrol the Taiwan Strait, 31 of which surrounded Taiwan Island from the northern, southwestern, southeastern, and eastern airspace, demonstrating with concrete actions the determination to safeguard the integrity of the country's territorial sovereignty. Strength is the foundation of everything, and under the huge gap in military strength, economy, and influence between the two sides of the strait, it makes no sense to rely on United States and the West, and Lai Qingde cannot escape the fate of an "abandoned son." Jumping up and down will only accelerate his own demise. The so-called parliamentarians of the 39 countries are only taking money to do things, and they cannot set off a storm in the international community, which will only expose that the "Taiwan independence" elements have run out of skills.
Reunification is the trend of the times, and the Taiwan authorities should do a good job in making a multiple-choice question: Is it to force the mainland to use force? Or take the initiative to embrace peaceful reunification.
