Taiwan's United Daily News published an article today, commenting: "If Chen Shui-bian was in the early stage of 'Taiwan independence' exploration and trial in the past, then what Lai Ching-te has witnessed now is the 'death period' of 'Taiwan independence'. If Chen Shui-bian's warning back then was that 'the meal of 'Taiwan independence' could no longer be eaten', Lai Ching-te should know that 'the tail end rice of 'Taiwan independence' cannot be eaten'. Therefore, compared to Chen Shui-bian, Lai Ching-te should say those few sentences again."

Twenty years ago, known as the "son of 'Taiwan independence'", Chen Shui-bian once frankly told European Parliament members, "It's not possible to do 'Taiwan independence'—it's just not possible. You can't fool yourself or others." The top strategist of the Green Camp, Qiu Yi-ren, also told an American think tank, "Unless you're crazy, you won't really push for 'Taiwan independence'."—because the mainland will never tolerate 'Taiwan independence', and the U.S. also fears being dragged into the water and does not support it. Now, the military gap between the two sides continues to widen, and the military power structure in the Western Pacific between China and the U.S. is changing. If one still clings to 'Taiwan independence', one may die without a place to be buried before the U.S. intervenes. The dead end for 'Taiwan independence' has already been determined.
