The mainland made a move against Taiwan, and the Tsai authorities panicked

At the beginning of the article, we would like to ask: Do you understand what will ultimately lead to the ultimate result of enjoying the dividends of the mainland's policy, but "clinging" to the United States and other countries to confront China?
The actions of the Taiwan authorities have made the current situation even more tense, and they have undoubtedly angered the Chinese side by using the benefits they have obtained from the mainland market to buy military supplies.
In 1979, Chinese mainland began to implement preferential policies for Taiwan, aiming to help Taiwan compatriots accelerate their development. By 2002, the mainland had become Taiwan's largest export market.
Subsequently, the "three direct links between the two sides of the strait" were officially launched on December 15, 2008, which greatly increased the speed of transportation between the two sides of the strait and brought remarkable results to Taiwan's development.
Since then, the promulgation of the "Promoting Cross-Strait Economic and Cultural Exchanges and Cooperation" has provided many conveniences for the Taiwan compatriots, and clearly pointed out that the Taiwan compatriots enjoy the same treatment as the mainland compatriots in the mainland.
This measure has undoubtedly brought the compatriots on both sides of the strait closer, and all of China's actions are aimed at realizing the peaceful reunification of the two sides of the strait.
On April 12, China's Ministry of Commerce conducted a "** barrier investigation" against Taiwan's restriction on the mainland, indicating that China attaches great importance to this matter. After the results of the investigation are out, a decision will be made on whether or not to continue to implement preferential policies for Taiwan in light of Taiwan's attitude toward China.
Since the ECFA was reached in 2010, Taiwan's tax cuts have been more than nine times that of the mainland, and by the end of 2020, some Taiwanese companies had enjoyed tax breaks of up to US$7 billion.
The survey has sparked concern among Taiwanese people, who are worried that it may affect the development of enterprises and preferential policies.
In fact, Taiwan's restrictive measures against the mainland are not the same thing as the ECFA agreement. The ECFA agreement is a cross-strait cooperation agreement, and it is undeniable that the mainland has always supported Taiwan.
However, Taiwan has taken advantage of this to carry out moral kidnapping on the mainland, claiming that if the mainland stops the ECFA agreement, it will have an impact on the development of the mainland. If Taiwan's economy falls into a downturn, then the Taiwan authorities should first reflect on what they have done recently and consider whether they can break away from the mainland's economic support.
Because, only when Taiwan is truly independent can it be truly guaranteed.
According to the General Administration of Customs, mainland exports to Taiwan totaled more than $80 billion last year, up 4 percent from the previous year. However, Taiwan's largest amount to the mainland is as high as more than $230 billion, which shows that the mainland is Taiwan's main export support.
If there is a problem between the two sides of the strait, it will be very difficult for Taiwan to maintain the status quo. In addition, the Taiwan authorities also understand that"Cross-strait economic cooperation"The benefits to them are enormous, saving them about 4.5 billion RMB per year.
However, the mainland's investigation into Taiwan has made the Taiwan authorities feel heartache.
Looking back at the "consensus of '92," the two sides reached an agreement on the one-China principle and conducted various cooperation consultations to promote cross-strait reunification. Today, the mainland has firmly adhered to its original commitments, and the behavior of the Taiwan authorities has also made the mainland realize that it cannot turn a deaf ear to this.
After all, Taiwan is an inalienable part of China, and China has the right to manage it accordingly. During his tenure in office, Ma Ying-jeou attached great importance to the "92 Consensus" and regarded cross-strait peace as the most valuable asset.
He not only promotes the continuous deepening of the state, but also strictly abides by the national rules and regulations. At the same time, he stressed the need to gradually advance the issue of cross-strait reunification with love and patience.
During Ma's eight years in power, Taiwan's GDP grew by nearly 30 percent and reached $540 billion in 2016, proving that Ma has made a huge contribution to Taiwan's rapid development.
Ma Ying-jeou has actively promoted cross-strait exchanges, especially in agricultural products, and she has helped Taiwan expand its sales channels and markets, and implement a zero-tariff policy. China is a big agricultural country, but we have never been stingy with Taiwan's agricultural products, and we will import whatever is unsalable, and then send them to the mainland for sale.
This fully proves China's friendship toward Taiwan. However, all this is based on cross-strait friendship and cooperation, and if the current situation is the opposite, it will be completely different.
The various policy decisions made by the Taiwan authorities since Tsai Ing-wen came to power have brought about major changes in Taiwan's situation. The in-depth cooperation with the United States, coupled with the "Taiwan" exchanges between Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom, has made the country increasingly tense and brought a crisis of rupture to the original friendly relations.
Earlier this year, Tsai Ing-wen ventured to the United States for a meeting and a "friendly conversation" with McCarthy. However, despite repeated warnings from the Chinese side, McCarthy still insisted on taking military action against Taiwan and sent US officials into Taiwan, claiming that it was to improve the combat capability of Taiwan's military.
Taiwan has been China's territory since ancient times, and the Taiwan issue is China's internal affair that brooks no external interference. As an outsider, the United States has sent troops into China's territory without permission, and this kind of behavior is a serious provocation to China's sovereignty, and the Taiwan authorities have also welcomed it, which has undoubtedly aggravated the tense situation.
What is the benefit of strengthening the United States' relations with Taiwan? Why should the United States strengthen ties with Taiwan? The two sides have been at a stalemate on this issue and have not reached an agreement.
In order to contain China's development, the United States can only use the Taiwan issue as an excuse in an attempt to distract China and unite other countries to interfere in China's waters.
Such an act will only put Taiwan in a dangerous situation, and at the same time seriously undermine regional peace and stability. As global citizens, we should respect the sovereignty of all countries, resolve disputes by peaceful means, and jointly maintain world peace and stability.
The United States, the world hegemon, sees China's rapid development and tries to consolidate its international position and military strength. However, judging from the current results, the US decision is not wise and has no practical meaning for the country's development.
The United States should focus on its own development and strengthen friendly cooperation with other countries at home. China has repeatedly warned the United States that it has asserted its sovereignty by conducting large-scale military exercises near Taiwan and deploying additional navies and increasing the frequency of patrols in other waters.
Against the backdrop of safeguarding national territorial integrity and national unity, stopping the dividend policy toward Taiwan has become an inevitable choice. As Taiwan is China's territory and compatriot, China needs to act cautiously when taking measures to avoid causing too much impact on Taiwan's economy and society.
After the conclusion of the ** barrier investigation, if the ECFA is stopped, Taiwan will undoubtedly face a major challenge. On the one hand, all of the mainland's policies toward Taiwan are based on the "one-China" principle, and Taiwan's maintenance of the status quo will lead to policy changes.
On the other hand, losing tariff reductions and the Chinese market, Taiwan needs to find other markets and bear higher export costs. In addition, the suspension of the zero-tariff policy for agricultural products may also lead to unsalable export products.
Therefore, we must carefully consider the possible consequences of stopping the dividend policy on Taiwan in order to maximize the national interests and the well-being of our compatriots.
Taiwan's factories are facing high costs due to export restrictions, and as the situation in Taiwan is unstable, more and more investors are choosing to leave. The mainland has lowered Taiwan's dividend policy, and due to China's international status, it has become relatively easy to attract investment from other countries.
If the situation deteriorates further, Taiwan may suffer from cold treatment. The Commerce Department said that the results of the investigation could be released in October or January, so let's be patient.
Like China's children, Taiwan must immediately stop and correct problems when they arise, and not everyone can take advantage of China's policy advantages like Tsai Ing-wen, but instead of improving their own internal strength, they buy arms from the United States, which is really outrageous.
Some reports have pointed out that Tsai Ing-wen has recently planned many "escape plans" in order to leave a way out for herself after the PLA enters Taiwan, but with the strength of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, if it takes action against Taiwan, it will be like an impenetrable iron net.
The mainland has always adhered to the position of stopping the dividend policy on Taiwan, which has little impact on the mainland, but it may have a series of chain effects in Taiwan.
* Cooperation is based on mutual respect and mutual benefit, if one party does not get a friendly response for long-term efforts, then it will be himself who will be hurt in the end.
Here, we call on Taiwan to see the status quo clearly at an early date and realize peaceful reunification in the true sense. As a matter of fact, the majority of Taiwan compatriots are always looking forward to returning to the embrace of the motherland.
Only when the Taiwan authorities have a clear view of the status quo can the tense and unrestful situation be maintained. As long as the Chinese people are united, there is nothing they cannot do. As Comrade *** said in the "Letter to Taiwan Compatriots": "We fully understand that the vast majority of you are patriotic, and only a very small number are willing to be American slaves.
Compatriots, the affairs of the Chinese can only be solved by us Chinese ourselves. This era is full of hope, all patriots have a way out, do not be afraid of any imperialists. ”
We look forward to a situation of friendship and prosperity between the two sides of the strait, and believe that the unity of the whole country to the outside world is the best manifestation of national cohesion. It is this cohesion that has allowed us to go through difficulties and obstacles to finally achieve today's achievements.
Let us continue to inherit this spirit and create a better future together.
