 Stop the Perfect Storm in the Taiwan Strait Stage-Directed by Tsai Ing-wen

 Translation of an Excerpt

 

 

The US-China confrontation continues to escalate, cross-Strait relations have deteriorated, and the DPP has manipulated the issues of sovereignty and national identity; a "perfect storm" is seemingly looming. Thinking that under the protective umbrella of the US, we could sleep soundly at night, Taiwan’s people must seriously ponder the possibility of a hot war. Next January’s presidential election will be the point of no return for Taiwan’s future; if the DPP continues in power and insists on the existing path, Taiwan will march towards the center of a perfect storm.

 

The US-China-Taiwan trilateral relationship is intricate and complex; in the past few decades, there has been room for ambiguity and operations, as well as a peaceful, secure, and stable trilateral relationship conforming to the interests of all parties. However, since Tsai Ing-wen and Trump became presidents, the trilateral relationship has undergone substantive changes.

 

The US-China-Taiwan trilateral relationship has never been an equilateral triangle; Taiwan is obviously the weakest side. The Tsai government, in order to manipulate its anti-China strategy, ferociously playing the "sovereignty card" and "security card", it will eventually encounter devastating counterattacks. Experts on Mainland issues, such as Su Chi, Chao Chun-shan and Huang Chieh-cheng, have already issued caveats vis-à-vis the situation following next year’s presidential election; how to rein in this out-of-control train will be the greatest trial before next January’s presidential election.

 

People pursue stability and peace, hoping to lead a better life; this will never change. Stable cross-Strait relations are in conformity with Taiwan’s maximum interests; this must be the direction of popular will. The so-called Mainland annexing Taiwan is a fake issue created by the DPP to cover up its ineffectual governance; the KMT must jump out of the trap of issues set by the Tsai government, retrieving the trust of the people in the KMT for handling well cross-Strait relations, thus Taiwan will be able to avoid this “perfect storm" in the Taiwan Strait.
