Of little consequence? The green camp took advantage of the difficulties of mainland fishermen to give up the Golden Horse? What is the intention?
** For a long time, the so-called "Jinmen and Matsu withdrawal theory" has been proposed, advocating the abandonment of control over Kinmen and Matsu. This is because Kinmen and Matsu are far away from the main island of Taiwan and close to Fujian Province, and actually have a population of less than 100,000. Therefore, it is considered that maintaining the defence of these islands requires a lot of resources and manpower. Although this proposition has been put forward for nearly 30 years and is difficult for the KMT to accept, it is often mentioned on this issue. Recently, there has been a problem in the waters between Kinmen and Xiamen, and the way it has been handled has caused controversy, and some people have begun to wonder whether this is another special practice of the "Kinmen and Matsu withdrawal theory".
The theory of the separation of Kinmen and Matsu, or the "theory of the withdrawal of troops from Kinmen and Matsu", advocates the peaceful return of Kinmen and Matsu to China. After the partition of Taiwan, some of the views associated with the "** movement held that the abandonment of territories such as Kinmen was related to the "**." In 1949, the United States had suggested that Chiang Kai-shek give up the islands of Kinmen and Matsu, but this was not adopted. In 1994, Shi Mingde personally proposed the withdrawal of troops from Kinmen and Matsu, which was later adopted as an official policy, but it was not actually included in the plan. Some representatives of the legislature of the Chinese Kuomintang have proposed joining "one country, two systems" and returning to the People's Republic of China through a referendum in Kinmen, but this has not become official policy.
In June 1950, when the Korean War broke out, Chiang Kai-shek advocated the withdrawal of troops from the outer islands of Kinmen and Matsu in July, but his private military adviser Kirk firmly opposed it, and Chiang Kai-shek finally abandoned this plan. In fact, Jinma is only two kilometers from Chinese mainland and 200 kilometers from Taiwan, making it more convenient to manage on the Chinese mainland side. Although Chinese mainland had the opportunity and strength to seize Jinmen in the past, it did not take action out of the consideration that it did not want to exacerbate the contradictions or choose peaceful reunification. However, if the mainland wins Kinmen and Matsu, this will only be the first step in reunification, and it will be necessary to further strive for Taiwan's return in the future. However, Taiwan's abandonment of Kinmen and Matsu may be interpreted as supporting ***, which is exactly the political intention of ***. Therefore, Beijing has never accepted the withdrawal theory put forward by the Taiwan side, and this is because they have come from"**"perspective.
From 1950 to 1987, when Chiang Kai-shek and his son were under leadership, the proposal for the withdrawal of troops from Kinmen and Matsu was not mentioned. Nearly 30 years have passed now, and ** has always been hostile or lacking in love towards Kinmen. This has been going on for decades, and in the face of this challenge, will they continue to follow the example of Chiang's father and son, or will they adopt practices that lead to further conflict and eventually abandon Kinmen? How will they choose?
** Perhaps considering abandoning influence over Kinmen. Historically, Kinmen has not been a base of support for ***, but more influenced by the blue camp or non-partisan people. As a result, the region has not brought substantial political or economic benefits to ***. Despite being seen as a front-line area, Kinmen has shown significant weakness in fending off a possible mainland attack.
In addition, Kinmen's economic development has been unsatisfactory. Faced with this situation, it may be wise to think that Gammon has become a burden, and to abandon it. However, if Kinmen is abandoned in a specific way, it may be interpreted as an action and cause controversy at home and abroad. As a result, ** faced a dilemma that could not bear to abandon it, but also found it difficult to continue. At the moment, the United States may also not support it, which makes *** more cautious. Therefore, the follow-up measures of Tsai Ing-wen and Guan Biling will be closely watched, and it remains to be seen how they will respond to this situation.
