preface
The one-China principle is the basis for the establishment of diplomatic relations between the mainland and other countries, and is also the consensus of the people of the whole world, but except for a few countries and a small number of obstinate Taiwan independence elements, they are obsessed with it.
Before the Paris Olympics ended, a clash broke out between spectators on both sides of the strait in the stands of the Paris Olympics, and a Taiwan independence element held aloft the so-called "cheering poster," which not only aroused the anger of the Chinese people, but also frightened the host France into a cold sweat.
The Taiwan authorities strongly condemned the response of the staff and directly "invited" the audience out of the venue, but facts have proved that this is only self-inflicted.
Cheering posters at the Olympics
Since the opening of the Paris Olympics, Chinese athletes have achieved excellent performance on the field, but on August 3, in a match between the Chinese Taipei team and the Denmark team, an unexpected thing happened.
A Taiwan citizen dressed in black held up a green poster, on which were written the words "Come on Taiwan." You know, in Taiwan, green represents the DPP, and the DPP represents Taiwan independence, and this lady's move is undoubtedly openly advocating "Taiwan independence."
Although it is only a poster, it should not be underestimated, because in the Olympic Games, there are clear rules that only national and regional flags are allowed, and everything else is not allowed.
If it was just to cheer for the contestants, she could have made a poster of Chinese Taipei cheering, but she printed the words "Come on Taiwan" on the poster, and directly used green as the background.
In fact, when the woman swaggered to the staircase, it attracted the attention of the staff, one of whom took the walkie-talkie and immediately found the person in charge above and asked them to check the legitimacy of the poster.
The final result was satisfactory to everyone, and the staff pointed to the audience and asked the woman to leave, but she ignored it and was still showing her poster.
A young man wearing a red hat in the stands saw this scene and hurriedly stepped forward, trying to block the girl's poster with his body, but the girl raised the poster in his hand, so the boy grabbed the poster in the girl's hand and dragged the girl off the stage.
In fact, this is not the first time this has happened, and there were people holding a green towel with "TaiWanIn" written on it, which was also confiscated by the staff, after all, this kind of banner with political overtones must not be used in the game.
Taiwan's so-called diplomatic institutions, after learning about this incident, also expressed their own opinions, saying that this is an act that does not conform to human culture and is also an act that violates freedom of speech.
However, the Taiwan authorities certainly understand better than anyone else that they are doing this just to amplify this incident and attract international attention, and it is not a day or two that the Taiwan authorities have deliberately created their own image of a victim in order to win the sympathy of the international community.
The Taiwan authorities have always been enthusiastic about pushing the Taiwan Strait issue onto the international arena so that the United States, the West, and other external forces can take advantage of it, and only then do Taiwan's foreign affairs organs dare to openly express their opinions, but they must also be clear that a mistake is a mistake, and no matter how much you refute it, you cannot change the truth.

The Taiwan authorities are cautious
In fact, if Taiwan wants to participate in the Olympic Games, it must use the name "Chinese Taipei", which is the diffusion of China's principles in the field of sports and the basis for the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and other countries.
Even if the Taiwan authorities want to reverse right and wrong, it is of no use, but it is just to create a political topic; I have to say that this move is really stupid, and if the Taiwan authorities do this, will it not make France unable to step down? As the host, France naturally will not let the Taiwan authorities do whatever they want in this matter.
As a matter of fact, the Taiwan authorities had a premeditated plan, and as early as before the Paris Olympics began, a piece of news had already spread wildly on the Internet.
According to reliable information provided by the International Olympic Committee, this year's Paris Olympics will allow Taiwan to participate in the name of "Taiwan" instead of "Chinese Taipei", which will be the first time that Taiwan athletes will participate in an independent capacity and in a dignified manner. ”
The news quickly spread on the Internet, and a reporter searched for the source of the news on the Internet, only to find that the news had been blocked by Facebook and labeled as "false information", and AFP also denied the news, saying that it was a global sports event aimed at promoting friendship and cooperation between countries.
As early as 1981, Taiwan had to use this name if it wanted to participate in the Olympic Games, which was a direct result of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, and was recognized by the whole world.
In 2018, Taiwan held a referendum on whether to participate in the Tokyo Olympics under the name of "Taiwan", and the final number of disagreed votes showed a crushing situation, which also showed that most Taiwanese do not want Taiwan to appear foreign in the international community.

Don't worry, Taiwan will definitely return
Many people believe that we have been too cautious about recovering Taiwan and can directly use force to take Taiwan back, but we have been slow to move. Where is the biggest obstacle?
Since the aircraft carrier of the Seventh Fleet sailed into the Taiwan Strait in United States, in recent years it has colluded with Taiwan independence elements inside and outside the Taiwan independence elements to carry out so-called "freedom of navigation" in the Taiwan Strait.
Even after sending fighter planes to Taiwan and playing "side-kicking," all these taken together, the recovery of Taiwan is no longer a military issue, but a contest of comprehensive strength, and United States has become the biggest external factor that cannot be avoided.
For many years, the United States has used Taiwan as an important bridgehead, forming the "first island chain" of Korea, Japan, the Ryukyu Islands, China's Taiwan Island, and the Philippine Islands to contain China.
However, when China's economic development and military power are growing by leaps and bounds, in the context of global integration, the United States of "freedom of navigation" is placed in front of United States, and there is no reason for United States to deny the mainland legal passage on the high seas and international waters.
The "first island chain" has not trapped China here, but has dragged United States into it, and in order to trap China in the first island chain, United States has invested countless human, material and financial resources.
Since the United States wants to trap us in the "first island chain", it must spend more time on this chain, China becomes stronger, United States will increase investment, and United States has to carry out strategic contraction in order to maintain investment in Asia, so United States is in a dilemma.
Taiwan must be taken back, China must be reunified, and no matter whether or not there is interference by external forces, we cannot change our determination, so we do not need to pay attention to external forces, but must firmly follow our own road of development, strive for the comprehensive reunification of the country, and wait until the day when we are strong enough to surpass United States, Taiwan's return will be a matter of course.
epilogue
The behavior of this Taiwan citizen not only violated the Olympic rules, but also indirectly advocated "Taiwan independence" and questioned the one-China principle, while the Taiwan authorities used exaggerated and sympathetic methods to slander the mainland's image and tried to link this incident with the situation in the Taiwan Strait in order to gain international support and intervention.
Such a practice not only cannot cover up the facts, but on the contrary, it makes the Taiwan authorities appear isolated and helpless and cowardly on the world stage.
