On 5 October 2024, President Lai Ching-te of the Republic of China pointed out at the 113th National Day Gala of the Republic of China that the 75-year-old People's Republic of China can never become the motherland of the 113-year-old people of the Republic of China. What Lai Ching-te said is a piece of historical common sense, but it is logically impossible for the CCP to refute it. Expert analysis believes that Lai Qingde is uniting and integrating within Taiwan and creating a common enemy - the CCP, which invisibly increases the difficulty of the CCP's united front against Taiwan.
Lai Ching-te raises "theory of motherland" to promote internal unity and increase the difficulty of the CCP's united front
Taiwan's senior political and economic commentator Wu Jialong said in NTDTV's "Pinnacle View" program that there are people in Taiwan who call the People's Republic of China the motherland. Frankly speaking, it is a small number of people, especially the so-called blue camp, the Kuomintang side. Let me tell you the background of Lai Ching-te’s speech. Let's use an analogy from the international situation. When Israel bombed the Russian air base in Syria, everyone was watching how Russia would react and how Putin would react. What Lai Ching-te is saying now is to see how the CCP will react and how Xi Jinping will react.
In late August, Sullivan, the U.S. President’s National Security Assistant, visited Beijing. This is his first visit to Beijing since taking office. He is about to leave office, and the Biden-Harris administration is about to hand over the baton. At this time, he went to Beijing, which actually has a mission. Because he saw that after the Third Plenary Session of the Central Committee and the Beidaihe Meeting, Xi Jinping's status seemed to be shaken, his power was vacated, and his health was abnormal. He wanted to find out, test the CCP, and understand the latest situation of the CCP. So, Lai Ching-te's speech is equivalent to testing and testing the CCP to see how the CCP will respond, just like the United States. On the surface, Lai Ching-te's speech was aimed at Taiwan's internal affairs, but more importantly, it was addressed to the Chinese Communist Party and Xi Jinping. When talking about these words, the focus is no longer on Taiwan's internal situation, but on the subsequent impact it can have on the trilateral relations between the United States, China and Taiwan. This is the focus.
Wu Jialong said that Lai Ching-te's speech attracted a lot of discussion. Because the name of the motherland is very sensitive, he mentioned the 75th birthday of the People's Republic of China and the 113th birthday of the Republic of China. On the surface, he was describing the facts, but there is something very strange about it. Because he is from the pro-independence faction, even if the pro-independence faction accepts the Republic of China, they will not admit that the Republic of China is 113 years old because the age of 113 includes the period in mainland China. Those who support Taiwan independence want to be separated from the mainland, so the Republic of China they talk about refers to the Republic of China that took root in Taiwan. It is called the 1975 year, which is related to the Republic of China. The People's Republic was established at the same time. Therefore, when Lai Ching-te talks about the 113-year-old Republic of China, he is taking over the Kuomintang’s sacred card. What he said is that the People’s Republic of China cannot be the motherland of the people of the Republic of China. He is talking about the people of the Republic of China, not the people of Taiwan. . Because the term used by the Democratic Progressive Party is Taiwan, an adjective was later added during the Tsai Ing-wen period, called Taiwan, the Republic of China. Now, Lai Ching-te did not mention Taiwan at the party, but all he talked about was the Republic of China. Lan Ying asked, "Do you really love the Republic of China?"
So, from this point of view, he is bidding farewell to the old independence faction's discourse, and is bringing the old independence faction's discourse over, and is bringing over the Kuomintang or the Republic of China faction in the blue camp. In fact, he is bringing in both factions. He is uniting within Taiwan, integrate within Taiwan and create a common enemy. This enemy is called the CCP. Such a result has virtually made it more difficult for the CCP to carry out a united war effort within Taiwan. The Kuomintang cannot say that Lai Ching-te is wrong because he took office as the president of the Republic of China and swore allegiance to the Constitution of the Republic of China.
The essential differences between the Republic of China and the People's Republic of China
Wu Jialong said in the "Pinnacle View" that the Communist Party is still a revolutionary party. After it took power through the revolution, it began to so-called conquer the country and dominate the country. There is nothing wrong with the Chinese Kuomintang starting as a revolutionary party, but it is the democratic doctrine in Sun Yat-sen's Three People's Principles, which is to promote the democratization process. Another key is to establish local autonomy first, which is called grassroots democracy in mainland China. Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek began to hold county and mayor elections in Taiwan in 1950, which were local elections. In fact, Taiwan implemented democratization very early. Chiang Kai-shek said, I am following the path of the Three People's Principles. Sun Yat-sen also wrote the preliminary principles of civil rights in Civil Rights, teaching people how to hold meetings, vote, and vote. Then we will decide how to conduct local elections, electoral rolls, vote verification, etc. Therefore, the Kuomintang has promoted elections in Taiwan very early, saying that it has transformed from a revolutionary party to a democratic party. Many people do not understand this difference. The Communist Party of China still regards itself as a revolutionary party. Therefore, to put it simply, all Xi Jinping’s actions have not encountered opposition within the party, because his appeal is very simple, just five words: protect the party and protect the power. This is the mentality of the revolutionary party, that is, if I make a revolution, I will take the throne. The Kuomintang said that I was engaged in revolution to promote democratic constitutionalism and a democratic constitution.
Wu Jialong said that both sides of the Taiwan Strait started as revolutionary parties. The difference is that the Chinese Communist Party has stopped at the stage of a revolutionary party, while the Chinese Kuomintang has become a democratic political party and has become an ordinary political party. Therefore, the Chinese Kuomintang's revolution is to establish a system rather than to obtain vested interests.
"The Epoch Times" editor-in-chief Guo Jun said in the "Pinnacle View" that based on general observation, one is a totalitarian autocratic system with one-party dictatorship, and the other is a democratized system. Democratic government; one is that the people have no freedom, the other is that the people have freedom; one is the ideology of the Communist Party’s dictatorship that has been proven to be a failure and has been eliminated by most countries; the other is freedom, democracy and equality that are fully integrated with the world’s mainstream civilization Values are completely different.
Guo Jun said that the Epoch Times editorial series "Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party" has made a very profound analysis of the Communist Party and the Communist regime. The Communist regime is a party that uses violence to maintain, control, and monopolize all social power. The other side of violence is lies. This kind of lie is spread through state power, and it has a certain effect in the West, including in Taiwan. Therefore, many Westerners used to believe that China was a country similar to Western countries, and that the CCP was just a so-called ruling party. In fact, China has no opposition parties at all, so there is no so-called ruling party at all. The Communist Party has been in power for ten thousand years. In order to monopolize power, they will not hesitate to use any means to deal with those individuals and groups they consider to be a threat to its power. It will use any means, including the cruelest and cruelest means.
Many people in Taiwan believe that Taiwan’s politics are very dark, but compared with the CCP, they are nothing but a drop in the bucket. At that time, most of the intellectuals in the Republic of China believed the lies of the CCP and supported the CCP against the Kuomintang. Most of them met a tragic fate later on. In the words of Chu Anping, head of the Democratic League, the one-party dictatorship of the Kuomintang is a question of whether there is more or less freedom; the one-party dictatorship of the Communist Party is a question of whether there is no freedom or some. The difference between the two is huge. Freedom can be gradually changed to some extent, but without freedom, we are slaves and can never stand up.
Lai Ching-te’s big move makes it difficult for the CCP to resist and rebuilds national identity
Kuo Jun said in the "Pinnacle View" that President Lai Ching-te has made several public speeches since he took office, which is different from previous Taiwanese leaders. In the early 1990s, the Chinese Communist Party proposed the implementation of three direct links with Taiwan, but at that time President Lee Teng-hui insisted on Chiang Ching-kuo's three-no policy, which was no negotiation, no contact, and no compromise. Because the Kuomintang suffered too much from the Communist Party, people of that generation were unable to cooperate with the CCP. At that time, I wrote an article in Hong Kong, suggesting that Taiwan abandon the Three Nos policy. The CCP wants three links, and Taiwan should counterattack by proposing five links. In addition to postal, trade, and aviation links, it also includes media links. Media from both sides of the Taiwan Strait can be distributed on the other side of the strait. There is also political links, which means that the Communist Party can develop in Taiwan. Taiwanese political parties can also go to the mainland to develop and participate in politics. Of course, the Taiwan Kuomintang would not pay attention to it, because Taiwan's economy was much better than that of the mainland at that time, so they could ignore it. However, as the mainland's economy slowly grows, Taiwan will become more and more passive. This is for sure.
I think now President Lai Ching-te has slowly broken away from the shackles of the older generation of politicians. His recent public speeches have been mainly offensive. During his presidential inauguration, he recognized the People's Republic of China as a sovereign and independent country. Neither the Kuomintang nor the Democratic Progressive Party had made such an expression before. This means that the Republic of China does not need to declare independence in Taiwan because the CCP established a separatist regime on the mainland and split the Republic of China. We didn't admit it before, but now we face reality and admit that you are independent. This is essentially an announcement that from now on the Republic of China will only be limited to Taiwan, Penghu, Jinma, and will not care about the mainland. Not long ago, Lai Ching-te also publicly said that the Communist Party should take back millions of square kilometers of Chinese land seized by Tsarist Russia and the Soviet Union. Xi Jinping has said that China will not recognize anyone who seizes any Chinese territory at any time and by any means. As a result, Lai Ching-te defeated the entire army. The Chinese Communist Party was unable to respond to Lai Ching-te's two public speeches, so it had no choice but to remain silent and pretend not to hear. This time, Lai Ching-te also said that the Republic of China is 113 years old and the People's Republic of China is only 75 years old. The underlying logic of the CCP's external and internal propaganda about the reunification of the motherland or the return to the motherland has been destroyed, because this is a fact. , the Chinese Communist Party cannot refute, and probably cannot respond. So it seems that offense is the best defense, and the same is true in politics. President Lai Ching-te’s move was beyond the CCP’s expectations.
Wu Jialong said that when Lai Ching-te talks about the Republic of China, he is talking about one thing. The People's Republic of China is to separate mainland China from the Republic of China. We call it mainland independence. Now the People's Republic of China talks about Taiwan independence, as if Taiwan is independent from the People's Republic of China. This is wrong. Because the People's Republic of China has never governed Taiwan. So he said that Taiwan's sovereignty does not belong to the People's Republic of China. To put it another way, it means that you, the People's Republic of China, are trying to separate mainland China from the Republic of China. You are pursuing mainland independence and separatism. Because Lai Ching-te brought over the Kuomintang’s god card and the Republic of China flag, he followed the Kuomintang’s path.
Wu Jialong said that the Kuomintang is not easy to respond and can only wonder, does Lai Ching-te really love the Republic of China? However, Lai Ching-te did not mention the words "people of Taiwan" at that party. He was talking about the people of the Republic of China. He was redefining the Republic of China. Therefore, in this paragraph, he unites the independence faction, the Republic of China faction, and the Taiwan faction. Instead, it raises a question within the CCP, which is whether to treat Lai Ching-te hard or softly, whether to be a war-fighting faction or a peace-promoting faction. How to deal with it? Sending the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council is too low-level, and sending the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to respond is wrong. Taiwan cannot do the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If the United Front Work Department of the Communist Party of China can come, so can the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. Should Wang Huning respond, or should Xi Jinping himself respond? This raises a question that is causing headaches within the CCP. Moreover, if the CCP insists on the framework of the 1992 Consensus, both sides of the Taiwan Strait belong to China, and Taiwan is part of China. This is an stereotype of the Party. People are now using new words to speak, but you are still repeating the same old tune, saying all day long that the purpose of reunifying Taiwan by force is to fight for Taiwan independence. People are talking about the Republic of China now and asking whether the Republic of China counts as Taiwan independence. This really makes it difficult for the CCP to respond. Lai Ching-te not only defeated the Kuomintang army, but also the CCP army.
Shi Shan, senior editor and chief writer of The Epoch Times, said in the "Pinnacle View" that all countries have a mechanism for national recognition and basic collective values. In the past few decades, Taiwan has not been able to solve this problem. I think this speech by President Lai Ching-te laid a foundation for reshaping national identity based on the basic national values of the Republic of China. We cannot say he is completely finished, but he certainly laid a foundation but some people in Taiwan still say that if we do not pursue Taiwan independence, the Communist Party will not attack us.
Guo Jun said in the "Pinnacle View" that political reality and common sense and logic are two different categories, especially for a regime like the Communist Party that is essentially established on the basis of medieval values. The most fundamental aspect of its regime is The essence is violence, fists. Under such violent values, all common sense and logic are worthless. Under this slave's values, your humiliation and patience are the same as kneeling down and surrendering. They are both worthless. After the CCP established power, it killed more than two million military and political personnel of the former Republic of China government, including more than 200 generals. Most of these generals were heroes of the Anti-Japanese War, and most of them voluntarily surrendered to the Communist army. According to the CCP’s logic, the fish caught do not need to be baited. To fight the CCP and defend freedom, the only way is to get rid of fear and fight. Otherwise, the end will be even more tragic.
