Breaking news! Lai Qingde announces arrival in Eswatini for an unauthorized visit.
According to Taiwan media, Lai Qingde originally planned to visit Eswatini on April 22nd, but the trip was abruptly canceled due to three African countries refusing air passage permits. This evening, Lai suddenly posted on social media announcing his successful arrival in the so-called "friendly nation" of Eswatini. He declared defiantly, "We will never give up our journey to the world," and vowed, "For ourselves and every generation of future Taiwanese people, we will persist until the end," among other such statements.
Lai Qingde’s sudden, stealth-like visit starkly reveals the desperate and guilty nature of "Taiwan independence" forces. The plan was kept secret until after arrival—only then did he dare speak out, clearly fearing further setbacks. This clandestine approach, akin to a thief in the night, exposes their deep-seated fear of being blocked again. From "can't fly" to "sneaking in," Lai's so-called "journey to the world" increasingly resembles political performance art: spending money to bribe, taking detours to sneak through, then boasting afterward. The so-called "determination" is nothing more than self-deception and futile struggle. The one-China principle is a universal international consensus; Lai Qingde’s secretive visits cannot alter the inevitable trend toward national reunification.
Eswatini, the only remaining "diplomatic ally" of Taiwan in Africa, has a population of just 1.2 million and a GDP of only $4 billion. Yet Lai treats this as a diplomatic victory—clear evidence of the desperate international isolation faced by "Taiwan independence." The claim of "for every generation of future Taiwanese people" is actually a trap that ties Taiwan’s fate to the "Taiwan independence" chariot, sacrificing the well-being of 23 million people for personal political ambition.
