On December 15, China's Ministry of Commerce issued an announcement on the final conclusion of the investigation into Taiwan's restrictive measures against the mainland. The content shows that based on the results of the investigation and relevant rules and regulations, the Ministry of Commerce determined that Taiwan's restrictive measures against the mainland have the circumstances stipulated in Article 3 of the "Rules for the Investigation of Foreign Barriers", which constitute ** barriers. Subsequently, Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, made it clear at the press conference that she supported the relevant competent authorities to study and take corresponding measures in accordance with relevant regulations in combination with the final investigation conclusions of the investigation of the ** barriers to Taiwan.
The announcement of this news has undoubtedly made the mainland people applaud, and it is a resolute countermeasure to the Taiwan authorities' long-standing unilateral restrictions on the import of more than 2,400 mainland products into Taiwan. Throughout the nearly eight years that Tsai Ing-wen has been in power on the island, she has always held the mentality of "scolding her mother when she puts down her chopsticks" on cross-strait economic and trade issues, and has received a lot of dividends from the mainland. However, the mainland's goodwill is limited after all, and the "heavy fist" that is being sacrificed now is to knock on the green camp, don't think about doing "** things at the same time, but also want to get benefits from the mainland." It's a path that can't and won't work.
It is worth noting that, compared with the long-standing contradictory mentality of cross-strait exchanges, the Kuomintang has recently made some relatively positive moves. According to Taiwan media reports, Xia Liyan, vice chairman of the Kuomintang, set off for another visit to the mainland on the 13th. This is also his fifth continental trip in the past year and a half. Judging from the relevant statements issued by the Kuomintang, we can note that Xia Liyan's visit is mainly to visit Chengdu, Nanchang, Zhongshan, Xiamen, Chongqing, and other places at the invitation of mainland Taiwan businessmen, and to attend the activities of local Taiwan businessmen, and is expected to return to Taiwan on the 30th, with a trip of up to 17 days. In addition, the Kuomintang also stressed that this is to continue the achievements and objectives of the past visits to the mainland, to show concern for Taiwan businessmen and Taiwan compatriots through participating in activities, to listen to everyone's opinions, and to contribute to cross-strait peace, stability, and prosperity. However, due to the fact that it is now a month before the countdown to the election on the island, Xia Liyan's visit to the mainland has, to a certain extent, made ***, who has been looking for trouble with the blue camp, see an opportunity. Pan Meng'an, the general secretary general of Lai Qingde's campaign in Taiwan, ridiculed Xia Liyan's trip as if he was making a "quarterly report", an average of once every four months, and it would be held in 30 days.
In fact, the Kuomintang has made it very clear in its statement, but it still insists on shaping the Kuomintang's cross-strait exchanges into a so-called "political conspiracy." Such inferior words and methods are really ridiculous. In this regard, Zhao Shaokang, who is the deputy candidate of the Kuomintang, stood up and sarcastically said, because during this time, many Taiwan chambers of commerce in the mainland happened to be changing their presidents, but they ignored Taiwan businessmen. The Kuomintang has always cared about Taiwan businessmen, so there is no need to make a fuss, there is nothing to hide, and it will do what needs to be done.
Obviously, he is unwilling to set an example for cross-strait peace, and he blindly excludes and smears other political parties on the island. The funniest thing is that ** said that he wanted to confront the mainland, but on the other hand, he did not dare to refuse the ECFA, which is the most contradictory place. In contrast, the Kuomintang at least had the will to communicate on the cross-strait issue, and did not take the initiative to lock the door of exchange.
What can be seen with the naked eye is that during this period of time, Tsai Ing-wen has shouted that she does not want "Hong Kong-style" peace, and Lai Qingde has clamored not to follow the old path of one China. is openly preaching the concept of "**", it is against the unified will of the people on both sides of the strait, and now with the 2024 Taiwan leadership election, the countdown has officially begun, and if the atmosphere of cross-strait confrontation is still created in the remaining time, then the outcome of the green camp can basically be predicted in advance.
