After the mainland partially terminated the ECFA, the Taiwan authorities were left with only "half a life." Just when the Taiwan authorities were struggling to catch their breath, they never expected that it was Canada that would give the Taiwan authorities a way out.
On the 21st, the mainland announced the termination of tariff concessions for some ECFA products. The mainland has been helping Taiwan businessmen and Taiwan compatriots through various policies to benefit Taiwan all year round, with the aim of improving the livelihood of Taiwan compatriots, but the Taiwan authorities have handed over the money to the Pentagon and returned with batches of broken copper and iron that have not entered the stream; not only that, but the Taiwan authorities have taken advantage of the mainland and have in turn blamed the mainland for "ill intentions." The people on the mainland have long been indignant at this, and we are of course very happy that the mainland has finally taken action to put the Taiwan authorities in order.
However, the compatriots on the island are different, they are the beneficiaries of the ECFA and the direct victims of the "** policy of the "authorities"; they are taken hostage by the Taiwan authorities to blackmail the mainland, and they are forced to go to the brink of war, and they are frightened all day long.
Previously, the mainland deliberately extended the review period of the ECFA to the day before the voting day of the 2024 Taiwan regional leadership election, which itself is the last chance to give ***, if you are lost and turn back in time, then there is still room for survival, but if you are determined to be the "emperor of the soil", and you are dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Festival of the fox and the tiger, and the dog is fighting the human power, then the mainland will no longer be polite. Obviously, ** chose the latter, and chose a path that would inevitably hit the south wall and break his head.
The results of the last few polls are not optimistic, and "Hou Kangpei" is full of stamina, and he has caught up with the "double independence" combination, and he does not dare to stop for a moment, and candidate Lai Qingde has also exposed several scandals one after another, and the ECFA is a fatal blow to the Taiwan authorities. Not only that, during the just-concluded high-level phone call between the Chinese and US militaries, the PLA once again drew a red line on the Taiwan issue, almost declaring the "death sentence" of the Taiwan authorities. But just when the Kuomintang was about to win, Canada stepped in to help the Taiwan authorities escape from death.
According to the island's ** report, after more than two years of negotiations, the Taiwan authorities and Canada signed the so-called "investment promotion and guarantee agreement" on the morning of December 22, which aims to pave the way for Taiwan's further layout of the North American market. Earlier, there was news on the island many times, saying that the United States and the Taiwan authorities are conducting negotiations, and the Taiwan side is also riveting its efforts to rush into the CPTPP. The signing of the agreement between the Canadian and Taiwan authorities is undoubtedly an expression of the "support" of Canada and the United States behind it.
With less than a month to go before the election on the island, not only the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, but also the international community have paid great attention to it. Last month, the G7 countries issued a joint statement opposing the so-called "unilateral change of the status quo in the Taiwan Strait by force", in other words, the mainland is not allowed to take over Taiwan; in addition, the US military P8A anti-submarine plane sailed through the Taiwan Strait to demonstrate, and the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff Brown also clamored that they are ready to clash with China, and even politicians advocate that if the mainland uses force against Taiwan, it will launch sanctions against the mainland. Up to now, the United States, the West, and the mainland have all shown their cards clearly, and the mainland will not back down on the Taiwan issue, and what is up to us now is who has the firmer determination and will, and whose means are tougher, and the mainland will absolutely not compromise on this issue.
