Two weeks have passed since the grave tragedy of the ship collision in the Xiajin Sea, and the major incident involving human life must be taken seriously. Surprisingly, in the ninth round of negotiations, the mainland put forward four key demands – including claiming the bodies of the victims, investigating the truth of the accident, severely punishing those responsible, and providing compensation – received only two responses from Taiwan's coast guard: a written apology and 1.4 million yuan in compensation for each victim.
This move to reduce the public apology to paper clearly reveals Taiwan's contempt for life and its ineffective response.
In the face of the Taiwan authorities' insincerity and shirking of responsibility, especially the misconduct displayed by the maritime supervisor Guan Biling, the mainland side resolutely condemned it. A report by Global Network on February 29 pointed out that Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, severely criticized Guan Biling at a regular press conference on the 28th"2·14"The tragic accident is regarded as a personal political farce, covering up the facts, shirking responsibility, and lying one after another.
She showed no respect for the victims, did not apologize, and instead added obstacles to the aftermath, which is despicable in her indifference and ruthlessness. We sincerely hope that she will put herself in her shoes, immediately stop harming the victims' families, and provide them and the people on both sides of the strait with a just solution as soon as possible.
The mainland uses it unabashedly"Ruthless"described Guan Biling, clearly expressing his strong dissatisfaction with her. If she insists on not adopting the clear path proposed by the mainland, she will face a firmer response from the mainland in the future.
It is worth noting that when the press conference of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council was broadcast live on Facebook, the sharp-eyed Taiwan** found that her personal account was marked in the audience list, including Guan Biling"Being**"This shows that she paid close attention to the cross-strait conflict and criticized her own position at the first time, and her inner tension is self-evident.
It is undeniable that the Bright Avenue is close at hand, yet the authorities seem to have repeatedly rubbed shoulders with it. A series of negative incidents have escalated one after another, and the mainland coast guard has carried out regular patrols in the waters off Xiajin, constantly exerting pressure on the Taiwan authorities.
Even former leader Ma Ying-jeou bluntly said on the 28th that he was indifferent to such a major issue, and his evaluation was "unbelievable."
It is obvious that the situation facing the Taiwan authorities is becoming increasingly grim. While naming Guan Biling, Zhu Fenglian sent a strong signal: The mainland side retains the possibility of taking further action, and Taiwan will bear all the consequences.
In the face of some arrogant remarks within Taiwan, Su Ziyun, director of the Taiwan Institute of Defense and Security, went so far as to claim that the mainland's acquiescence to the fishing industry was"Truly ruthless"。His radical proposition even suggested that the Taiwan authorities should be allowed to send Anping-class ships equipped with artillery to Kinmen, as if this was their countermeasure.
But the reality is that the Anping-class patrol ship of the Taiwan Strait Patrol"Anping"Only a pitiful 600-ton class, although it is claimed to be able to carry anti-ship missiles, is undoubtedly the same when facing the mainland's thousand-ton or 10,000-ton ships"Eggs hit stones", full of dangers, and a worrying ending.
Note that such a drastic move could lead to a military conflict, especially to plunge Kinmen into a fierce battle. In this regard, the unification faction on the island has made their stand clear.
At the press conference of the New Party on the 28th, Wu Chengdian, chairman of the New Party, called on the authorities not to let Kinmen be destroyed again, and resolutely said that no Kinmen people want Kinmen to become a battlefield again, and if there is a war in Kinmen, it must not be caused by Kinmen people.
His remarks were a stern warning on behalf of the people of Kinmen to the authorities. On the one hand, the families of the fishermen killed on the mainland need a reasonable explanation, and on the other hand, the safety of the people of Kinmen also needs to be guaranteed.
No one wants to be a victim of the *** authorities' confrontation with the mainland, and this practice will also reveal the conspiracy of the *** authorities to seek "independence." Therefore, it is the right choice to stay away from *** and return to the mainland.
