Xinhua News Agency of Singapore reported today (November 28): "Lai Ching-te stated on Wednesday that Beijing has set a goal of unifying Taiwan by 2027, and Taiwan will invest 40 billion US dollars over the next eight years starting from next year to strengthen its defense and combat system. In response, Liang Wenjie, vice chairman of the Taiwan authorities' Mainland Affairs Council, said, 'There is no room for negligence in national security; being lenient in assessing the enemy is the best way to deal with it.'"
[Cunning] Comment: According to Li Ao's sharp metaphor, this is completely "the guard dog making a plan to buy its own bones." Why does the Taiwan authorities purchase weapons? It is not for the well-being of the people of Taiwan. First, it is to pave the way for future escape, desperately buying weapons from the US, hoping one day to be taken in by the US as a "discarded pawn" and still dreaming of being "embraced by the US." Second, it aims to enhance the atmosphere of anti-China sentiment, accuse other parties of being pro-China, and gain political capital for the upcoming island election, binding the people of Taiwan to the "Taiwan independence" war chariot. Third, the weapons purchases are all dirty deals, with corruption under the guise of security, and huge kickbacks have become a legal means for some people to amass wealth. The opposition party's disapproval is maliciously attacked. "Taiwan independence" is a dead end, and weapons purchases cannot stop the trend of reunification. If the ruling Democratic Progressive Party continues to be stubborn and runs wild on the path of "using military power to seek independence," it will ultimately push Taiwan into an irreversible abyss, becoming a criminal in history and facing the condemnation of the people.
