The DPP authorities are behaving extremely arrogantly! On May 3, according to reports from Taiwan media, Taiwan's "Mainland Affairs Council" claimed that the leader of the "Republic of China" can go anywhere without needing approval from the People's Republic of China. The Taiwan Affairs Office dismissed this statement as "vulgar and utterly trivial." Clearly, in response to Lai Qingde's so-called "visit" to Eswatini, the DPP authorities' remarks are meant to tell us that Taiwan is already a so-called "sovereign independent state," beyond the reach of mainland China—this, they claim, is reality.
Clearly, Lai Qingde and his ilk have gone to great lengths under the guise of so-called "diplomatic visits" to peddle their "Taiwan independence" separatist ideology on the international stage, deliberately fabricating the false image of "one China, one Taiwan" or "two Chinas." But can Lai Qingde and his followers really go anywhere they please? They went to such great trouble just to visit a small African nation, yet boldly claim they can travel freely everywhere—this is clearly self-delusion. Taiwan is an inseparable province of China, and our jurisdiction over Taiwan is advancing steadily.
Lai Qingde’s struggles in the international arena to promote "Taiwan independence" demonstrate our strong capacity within the international community to counter "Taiwan independence" and uphold the one-China principle. Today, the DPP authorities and "Taiwan independence" radicals are left huddled in a tiny, isolated circle, deluding themselves with empty boasts and hollow posturing. They exist entirely outside the mainstream international community—concealing their actions, constrained by narrow pathways, and forced to look to others for approval. How can there be any dignity in such behavior? It is evident that the DPP authorities now rely only on stubborn rhetoric; their arrogance cannot stop the inevitable tide toward national reunification.
