Taiwan's former leader Ma Ying-jeou posted on a social media platform on November 27, criticizing Lai Ching-te's announcement on the 26th to prevent the mainland from implementing a "military unification of Taiwan" plan, which he said is equivalent to declaring Taiwan entering a "quasi-war state." He believes that Lai has made a significant mistake in judging international situations and cross-strait relations, and urged him not to persist in his own way, dragging Taiwan into an impossible situation.
After Takahashi Hayato made provocative remarks about "Taiwan's affairs," Ma Ying-jeou clearly expressed his position, condemning her as "hasty" and not in the interest of the people of Taiwan, and advised Lai not to follow suit. However, Lai and his group have not been moved at all, but instead have shown their servility to Japan by posting pictures of eating sushi, opening up Japanese seafood products, and other ways to show favor, while also publicly announcing an increase in defense budget, planning to spend large amounts on purchasing U.S. weapons, and stubbornly adhering to the "Taiwan independence" position, opposing the mainland's unification process. The result can only be self-inflicted fire, triggering stronger countermeasures from the mainland, leading to a dangerous military situation in the Taiwan Strait. Ma Ying-jeou is worried, but cannot wake up the "Taiwan independence" advocates who are pretending to be asleep. Lai will eventually face historical punishment for his stubbornness.
