The Kuomintang has created opportunities for its rise and is moving in the same direction as the mainland
In the context of increasing tension, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) has adopted normalized pressure on Taiwan, and the Taiwanese people have begun to tend to improve relations with the mainland, while the approval rating has dropped significantly.
With the epidemic under effective control, Chinese mainland has expressed its desire to resume exchanges and strengthen economic cooperation with Taiwan, but *** has tried to respond through delaying tactics.
Against this background, Kuomintang Vice Chairman Xia Liyan's visit to the mainland has aroused widespread concern among the people on both sides of the strait. Representatives of the Kuomintang and their entourage recently went to the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum in Nanjing to pay tribute to Sun Yat-sen, stressing that they would never forget their roots, which shows that the situation of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party and the opposition has been formed.
When *** was in power, why did Chinese mainland frequently release signals of easing relations with Taiwan? As a matter of fact, this is because the Kuomintang has constantly sabotaged cross-strait communication and exchanges, so that the fruits of the KMT's vice chairman's visit to the mainland have fallen to the side of the KMT.
And Chinese mainland is actually helping the KMT. For example, Xia Liyan's visit to the mainland has specific goals, including caring for Taiwan businessmen and small enterprises and solving the problems facing Taiwan's fisheries and agriculture.
With Taiwan's exports declining by 21 percent, maintaining better economic cooperation with the mainland has become the consensus of Taiwan's business community and society, and the KMT's move not only strives for economic interests, but also caters to public opinion on the island of Taiwan, which is very beneficial to winning the 2024 election.
According to reports, Xia Liyan's visit to the mainland not only brought back the improvement of obstacles to Taiwan's export of agricultural and fishery products to the mainland, but even won the mainland's willingness to welcome exchanges between people from the green camp, which is undoubtedly a signal to the mainland.
Of course, there are also conditions for the mainland to welcome people from the green camp, and they must oppose the "92 consensus" and agree with the "92 consensus."
So, how do we view the importance of Xia Liyan's visit to the mainland? First of all, it has further narrowed the distance between the two sides of the strait, and the current mainstream of public opinion in Taiwan is to pursue cross-strait peace, while the policy of "resisting China and protecting Taiwan" runs counter to this mainstream trend.
The Kuomintang has started an ice-breaking journey, which is undoubtedly striving for the greatest consensus of Taiwan's civil forces, and it also reflects the "** behavior" of the people.
The results of the latest poll show that the Taiwan people's trust and favorability of the Kuomintang have surpassed ***, which fully proves that the Kuomintang is taking a correct path and doing the right thing.
Second, from the perspective of the development of the entire Chinese nation, the rise of the Kuomintang and its recognition of the "92 Consensus" has undoubtedly created a longer period of historical opportunities for China's peaceful development.
The United States has been hyping that the mainland will take military action against Taiwan in 2024, 2025 or 2027. However, if the Kuomintang can reach a consensus with the mainland on the anti-"** issue and succeed in seizing the ruling power on the island of Taiwan, then the two sides of the strait may usher in a longer period of peaceful development.
Only development is the last word, and peace is of great significance to both sides of the strait. This move by the Kuomintang will make our preparations for a unified action more thorough. Chinese mainland has taken the initiative to release signals for the resumption of exchanges with Taiwan, and even invited people from the green camp to visit, which proves that we have taken an important step on the road of differentiation.
As for when the Taiwan issue will be resolved, the Kuomintang cannot decide, and the signal released by the mainland to strengthen exchanges with Taiwan means that we still need to give peaceful reunification a last chance.
With the improvement of Sino-US relations, the mainland is likely to further divide the green camp and reduce the obstacles that may be encountered in the process of reunification in the future. However, we must understand that Chinese mainland's promotion of the great cause of reunification does not depend on the active cooperation of the KMT.
The KMT's cross-strait policy is aimed at avoiding war, dialogue, and pursuing a long-term stay in power on the island of Taiwan and maintaining the status quo. Xia Liyan's trip to the mainland will help enhance the status of the KMT, prevent Taiwan from eventually becoming a pawn of the United States, and also help reduce the resistance to the reunification of Chinese mainland, which is necessary.
Next, the mainland also welcomes the visit of the green camp, so the good show has just begun.
