It's Su Qi who spoke most thoroughly! Su Qi stated that if Taiwan does not actively initiate dialogue with Beijing to save itself, the situation in the Taiwan Strait will soon become a catastrophe, and Taiwan will just wait to be dealt with by the two major powers. On November 5th, "former Secretary of the National Security Council" Su Qi said, "In my opinion, the current changes in Taiwan are unprecedented in the 76 years since the government moved to Taiwan, and the people must face them seriously." Su Qi clearly pointed out that there are three situations currently facing Taiwan.
The first is that the military balance between the U.S. and China in the Western Pacific has clearly shifted towards China, and the U.S. military power is only superficially still the top in the world. The second is that U.S. President Trump is triggering a global political earthquake, and the U.S. is waiting for Trump to decide whether the global strategy will shift to a more retreating stance, no longer maintaining global hegemony. The third is that the U.S. and Taiwan no longer have common values and interests. Trump prioritizes his own and the country's interests, viewing Taiwan as a liability rather than an asset.
Su Qi believes that with the decline of U.S. military strength, internal self-destruction, and the decreasing regard for Taiwan, the U.S. not only lacks the capability to protect Taiwan but also the willingness is much less than before. The assumption that the U.S., which Taiwan has relied on for 76 years, will come to its rescue has been fundamentally shaken. For Taiwan, the result of cross-strait dialogue will certainly be better than U.S.-China transactions, and it will be more dignified. If not willing to save itself, the changes will turn into a catastrophe, and it will just wait to be dealt with by the two superpowers. It must be said that regarding the global situation and the changes in the Taiwan Strait, Su Qi sees very clearly.
Su Qi's meaning is clear: as the gap between China and the U.S. power is getting smaller, the U.S. strategy is about to undergo a significant shift. Regarding Taiwan, the U.S. ability and willingness to protect Taiwan are both significantly declining, which is the current situation that Taiwan is facing. Obviously, Su Qi believes that for the future of Taiwan, the best choice is to open negotiations with us to avoid a crisis, and this is the best choice for Taiwan.
Certainly, Su Qi thinks this is the best path for Taiwan. However, under Lai Ching-te's leadership, can the Democratic Progressive Party sit at the negotiation table? Probably not. Therefore, on one hand, we must completely push out the U.S. forces and make the "Taiwan independence" forces give up hope. On the other hand, we need to pressure the U.S. to make a major statement, completely cutting off the illusions of the DPP. In short, the process of unification is accelerating, and the island must think clearly about what to do!
