The leader of the anti-China and destabilizing organization in Hong Kong was severely punished
We do not allow certain people to enjoy the benefits brought by the mainland while making trouble behind their backs. Many of the Taiwan compatriots have started businesses on the mainland, and they have made a lot of money here, and they should have been staunch supporters of cross-strait reunification.
However, after they returned to Taiwan, they provided financial support for "** forces, which is a typical behavior of "eating and smashing pots". Recently, the Taiwan Question and China's Reunification in the New Era released by the Taiwan Affairs Office and the Information Office once again reminded us that the mainland is Taiwan's largest export market and the largest destination for Taiwanese investment outside the island.
According to statistics, at the end of 2021, the number of Taiwanese investment projects in the mainland reached 123781, and the actual investment amount reached 713$400 million. We should cherish this opportunity for cooperation and work together to promote the development of the world.
**Direct accusations*** acts, including adhering to the "** position, colluding with external forces to seek "independence", distorting and negating the "92 Consensus", creating "** smearing the mainland, promoting "de-Sinicization", "gradually" and "conniving" ** forces to deceive the Taiwan people, incite hatred of the mainland, obstruct cross-strait exchanges, cooperation and integrated development, and accelerate the "use of force to seek independence" and "use force to resist reunification".
These acts seriously jeopardize peace and stability in the Taiwan region and are the main source of tension and must be eliminated. **The reason why it can act recklessly is mainly because there is a large number of financial supporters behind it, among which Taiwan's Far Eastern Group is one of the most important financial owners.
Far Eastern Group is a large multinational enterprise in Taiwan, with businesses in various fields such as textiles, petrochemicals, cement, financial services, department stores, retail, tourism and transportation.
According to public data, by the end of 2021, Far Eastern Group's total assets exceeded US$108.2 billion, with an annual turnover of more than US$26.4 billion. It has 250 subsidiaries, 9 of which are listed companies, and employs more than 60,000 people.
Far Eastern Group has a wide range of industries in the mainland and earns a lot of profits from the mainland every year. Although the Far Eastern Group has been "making a fortune in silence" on the mainland for many years, a sky-high fine has changed the situation.
In November 2021, the mainland imposed penalties on Far Eastern Group's chemical fiber textile and cement enterprises in Shanghai, Jiangsu, Jiangxi and other provinces and cities for violations of laws and regulations in environmental protection and land use, with a total fine and tax recovery of about 47.4 billion yuan, and at the same time recovered the idle construction land of one of the enterprises.
As soon as the news came out, it aroused widespread concern on both sides of the strait, and the "elements" expressed strong opposition to this. However, the Far Eastern Group confessed to violating the law and regulations, and could only pay fines and taxes in accordance with the procedures.
At the same time, the fact that the Far Eastern Group financed the "** molecule" also surfaced. According to a report from Taiwan, the mainland's punishment of the Far Eastern Group is intended to serve as a deterrent.
In this regard, Zhu Fenglian, spokeswoman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said that the mainland has always encouraged normal cross-strait economic and trade exchanges and protected the legitimate rights and interests of Taiwan compatriots and Taiwan enterprises in accordance with the law. However, we resolutely do not allow any enterprise or individual to provide financial support for "** diehards" while making money on the mainland.
For such enterprises and individuals, we will take severe measures to severely punish them in accordance with the law.
The Far Eastern Group was heavily fined by the mainland for serious damage. This is no accident, since its founding, the Far Eastern Group has had close ties with the Taiwan authorities.
The founder, Xu Youzhen, graduated from a solid family in Jiangsu and later served as a deputy manager in Shanghai. Xu Youzhen has a smart mind and has successfully founded a number of enterprises in just a few years.
In 1942, he and his younger brother Xu Weiyuan founded the Far East Weaving Factory in Shanghai*** In 1949, on the eve of the defeat of the Kuomintang to the mainland, Xu Youzhen responded to the call and moved all industries to Taipei.
At that time, Taiwan's economy was backward, and the textiles needed for people's basic life depended on imports. However, the Far Eastern Group has used its influence in Taiwan to support the "** forces and seriously undermine them."
Hsu Youzhen seized the opportunity of importing the most textiles from Taiwan and founded the Far Eastern Knitting Factory in Taipei, which initially focused on the production of underwear. He had experienced the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party and had a negative attitude towards the new China, so the company was closely linked to the Taiwanese authorities from the beginning.
In Taiwan, Xu Youzhen gradually became a representative of the Kuomintang, and the enterprise was also inspected by many Kuomintang **. The textile industry soon became one of Taiwan's pillar industries, and Xu Youzhen also took this opportunity to open up the upstream and downstream industrial chain of the textile industry and began to diversify the industry.
He used his connections with the Kuomintang authorities to gradually expand his business to all areas of Taiwanese people's lives, and eventually developed into a large conglomerate.
The development process of the Far Eastern Group is almost the epitome of Taiwan's post-war economic history, from the Anti-Japanese War, the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the retreat of the people to Taiwan, to the oil crisis, political opening, the labor movement, and then to the financial opening, from the waste to the economic miracle, although many peers have experienced ups and downs, but Xu Youzhen has been able to turn the crisis into a turnaround, turn the turnaround into a business opportunity, and establish a huge enterprise group that spans spinning, petrochemical, cement, department stores, shipping, and finance.
Xu Youzhen knows that if an enterprise wants to develop in the long run, it must be a good choice. After his investigation, he decided to let Xu Xudong, the eldest son of the second house, cause the dissatisfaction of Xu Xushi, the eldest son of the eldest house, and cause his ** shares to go to the United States and no longer participate in family affairs.
Under the leadership of Far Eastern Group, Xu Xudong successfully led the company out of the textile and cement industries, becoming one of the five largest consortia in Taiwan. He also established Far EasTone Telecommunications, became one of the "Three Telecom Heroes" in Taiwan, and successfully obtained the right to operate Pacific Department Store.
Xu Xudong studied in the United States in his early years and worked as an analyst at Citibank. His family lived in the United States, and he himself was a recipient of an American-style education. In the 1996 list of Taiwan's 100 richest people, Xu Xudong ranked third with NT$65 billion.
Xu Xudong's wife, Xu Mali, is an American, and they have a son and two daughters, Xu Guoan, Xu Guomei and Xu Guoling. Xu Guoan is regarded as the best person in the future, he is not good at Chinese, and as an American, he has twice traveled to Iraq to participate in the war.
According to reports, Far Eastern Group has been paying attention to the Chinese mainland market, and has opened 32 enterprises in mainland China and Hong Kong, including petrochemical energy, polyester chemical fiber, cement building materials, department store retail, shipping, etc.
Before Xu Xudong took over, the Far Eastern Group had only 3 listed companies, but after Xu Xudong took over, the company quickly grew to 9 listed companies. One of the main reasons for this is that Hsu has accelerated the company's growth by making political donations to high-level politicians in Taiwan in order to establish "friend-like intimacy".
In Taiwan's political environment, financial resources are the basis for politicians to gain popularity. In order to woo voters, politicians often need a lot of money. Political donations are often an important way to convey benefits between politicians, businessmen, and enterprises.
Interest groups donate large sums of money to the most promising politicians in the hope that they will be supported and cared for once elected. To sum up, Xu Xudong established good relations with high-level politicians of the Taiwan authorities through political donations, and promoted the development of the Far Eastern Group.
At the same time, political donations are also an important way to convey interests between Taiwan's politics and business.
Taiwan's Far Eastern Group is well versed in the art of political donations, and uses huge donations to influence the policy preferences of politicians and obtain greater benefits. They used to donate mainly to the Kuomintang, but with the rise of ***, they began to "bet on both sides", which could win the support of both the Blue Party and the favor of the Green Party.
According to statistics, ** is the party that receives the most political donations in Taiwan, and the Far Eastern Group has never fallen out of the top five, among which the largest donations to ***. For example, in 2018, when Su Zhenchang, a diehard, ran for mayor of New Taipei City, the Far Eastern Group was an important financier.
With the improvement of Su Zhenchang's status in China, Far Eastern Group has increased its donations. When Su Qiaohui first ran for the election event, she received NT$2 million from the Far Eastern Group.
It is worth noting that in the context of the decrease in donations from other enterprises, Far Eastern Group has achieved a contrarian trend in donations under the leadership of Xu Xudong and has become the largest financier behind the authorities.
According to the latest data, in the last three "legislator" elections in Taiwan, the Far Eastern Group has donated astronomical amounts, with a total amount of 1NT$3.3 billion, more than double that of the second-place Yulon Group.
Far Eastern Group has always been the "most powerful financier." In 2020, the group donated NT$58 million to 47 blue-green "legislator" candidates, which accounted for almost all of the total corporate political contributions from second to seventh combined.
These "**** diehards are not at all worried about the sanctions imposed by the mainland, and this is undoubtedly closely related to the corporate political contributions of the Far Eastern Group. Huang Zhixian, a Taiwanese ** person, once exposed the behavior of the Far Eastern Group, she pointed out: "The behavior of the Far Eastern Group is double-faced, they make money in the mainland, and they also support '** in Taiwan."
On November 5, 2021, the mainland announced the first batch of "** diehards", including the Su Zhenchang family, which has repeatedly received political donations from the Far Eastern Group.
Long before the release of this list, Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said: "We will continue to take precise crackdown actions and severely punish those diehards and their financiers who resolutely support '** in accordance with the law." ”
Those leading elements and their supporters who actively organize, plan, and carry out state activities inside and outside the island will inevitably be judged by the people and punished by history.
Immediately afterwards, the Far Eastern Group was severely punished for its illegal acts on the mainland. Faced with this situation, Xu Xudong was naturally reluctant to admit that he supported the "** behavior."
After the official announcement of the news on the mainland, he immediately came out to "cry out for injustice", claiming that he has always been against "China", supports the "92 consensus" and the "one China" principle, and looks forward to maintaining the status quo.
However, Xu Xudong did not show the slightest remorse. At the same time, some "** elements" on the island of Taiwan came out to complain for the Far Eastern clique, saying that the mainland was suppressing Taiwan businessmen.
In this regard, Zhu Fenglian, spokeswoman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said-for-tat that the mainland welcomes Taiwan compatriots to invest and develop in the mainland, and will continue to protect the legitimate rights and interests of Taiwan compatriots and Taiwan enterprises in accordance with the law.
For those companies that use their funds to support "**" after making profits in the mainland, we emphasize that the mainland side does not allow any affiliated enterprises and financiers who support "**" to make money in the mainland.
At the same time, we also do not allow Taiwan-funded enterprises to make money on the mainland and support "sabotage" on the island to do things like "eating inside and out." ”
Here, we strongly suggest that those Taiwan-funded enterprises that support the "** forces" should fully understand the general trend of cross-strait reunification and draw a clear line of demarcation with the "** forces" as soon as possible.
