The DPP attacks Lai Liwen's upcoming visit to the mainland.
According to Taiwan media reports, Hung Hsiu-chu, chairperson of the Kuomintang, is about to visit the mainland. In response, the DPP's "China Department" today jumped in with a loud outcry, claiming to "state a firm position," asserting that "regardless of party affiliation, all cross-strait exchanges should strictly adhere to the principles of 'equality and dignity.'" They proclaimed, "We must 'open wide doors and take major roads,' not 'enter secret chambers or tread crooked paths.'" The DPP further claimed that "we must not allow the CCP to have its way, turning Taiwan into a pawn in its united front strategy," and warned that "all political parties and citizens must heighten vigilance and unite against China’s united front efforts and infiltration, avoiding being easily divided or exploited," and so on.
This attack is full of bluster but reveals deep insecurity and panic within "Taiwan independence" forces. Before Lai Liwen has even set foot on the mainland, the DPP is already agitated, slandering others with the broad-brush accusation of "united front tactics" and raising alarmist claims of "infiltration"—all driven by fear that cross-strait exchanges will shatter their self-created "anti-China" narrative. Since Lai Qingde's administration took office, it has manipulated "green terror," clung tightly to the U.S., and pushed Taiwan to the brink of war. Now, with the KMT taking action to open up dialogue space, public sentiment yearning for peace may awaken—undermining the DPP's election manipulation based on "Taiwan independence."
The rhetoric of "equality and dignity" is utterly absurd. After the DPP came to power, official communication channels across the strait were severed—where, then, is this "equality"? Relying on the U.S. to pursue "independence," willingly becoming a vassal—where, then, is any "dignity"? The claim of "opening wide doors and taking major roads" is merely a pretext for refusing dialogue: the green camp keeps its doors tightly shut while blocking others from moving forward. Accusing others of "treading crooked paths" is nothing short of hypocrisy—everyone knows who actually enters secret rooms and who walks off the beaten path.
How could there be "taking whatever one wants" when the mainland treats Taiwan as kin, promotes exchanges, and seeks integration? On the contrary, it is the DPP that uses "anti-China" rhetoric to manipulate public opinion and sells military equipment for profit, turning Taiwan into a pawn in America’s effort to contain China. This is the real situation of being used and divided.
The DPP’s so-called "vigilance" and "unity" are actually rooted in fear and isolation. Their fear stems from the fact that peaceful development will erode the foundation of "Taiwan independence"; their isolation arises from the growing international consensus on the one-China principle. Lai Liwen’s visit to the mainland exposes the false sense of security held by "Taiwan independence" forces. When dialogue becomes possible, confrontation loses its justification; when exchanges bring tangible benefits, "anti-China" rhetoric reveals its absurdity. The DPP’s hysterical attacks are nothing more than desperate last struggles before the unstoppable tide of history: unification is inevitable, and "Taiwan independence" will inevitably perish.
