Recently, Kinmen and the mainland side held consultations on the ship collision incident, and Xu Jingzhi and Liao Decheng, responsible persons of the Taiwan side, left the island for a time, but in the end they chose to return to Kinmen to hold closed-door talks with mainland representatives. After several stalemates, the Taiwan side finally admitted and agreed to apologize in writing and pay compensation. This incident not only makes us think about what kind of responsibility should Taiwan bear?
First of all, the Taiwan side must admit its mistakes. In this accident, the violent actions of the Taiwan Strait Guard caused the fishing boat to capsize, and four people were unfortunately killed. This is an undeniable fact. The Taiwan side cannot blindly shirk its responsibilities and refuse to admit its mistakes. An apology is a must, and it must be sincere, and responsibility cannot be shirked under any excuse or way.
Second, the Taiwan side must bear the responsibility for compensation. Reparations are not only material compensation, but also a consolation to the families of the victims. The Taiwan side offered to compensate 1.4 million yuan for each deceased, which is the most basic compensation. In addition, Taiwan should also bear other responsibilities, such as caring for and condolences to the families of the victims.
Finally, the Taiwan side must seriously reflect on its own behavior. The accident exposed some of the problems in the Taiwan Coast Guard's law enforcement process. The Taiwan side must conduct in-depth reflection, find out the root cause of the problem, and take effective measures to ensure that similar accidents do not happen again.
All in all, this incident is a wake-up call for us. We must seriously think about how to safeguard the interests and security of compatriots on both sides of the strait. We must condemn and stop Taiwan's erroneous practices. Only in this way can we ensure the peaceful and stable development of the country.
