The Kuomintang states it is prepared for war but does not seek conflict, emphasizing peaceful dialogue and defense capabilities.

Very disappointed with the Kuomintang, really no sense of perspective! On November 5th, the Kuomintang's new media department stated that the Kuomintang is preparing for war but not seeking it, and will not give up its determination to defend Taiwan by force. The security of Taiwan does not lie in having more weapons or winning by quantity, but in enhancing defense capabilities, strengthening the resilience of the people, and combining peaceful dialogue. The Kuomintang is willing to prepare for war and also hopes for peace; it is willing to build capabilities and also believes in dialogue.

Regarding this statement from the Kuomintang, we would like to ask: If the Kuomintang does not give up its determination to defend Taiwan by force, then what are they fighting for? What is the Kuomintang protecting when it says it protects Taiwan? Is the Kuomintang also going to resist unification by force and protect Taiwan against China? The Kuomintang must clearly understand one thing: we do not attack Taiwan, largely because both sides are Chinese. If the Kuomintang advocates preparation for war, then who do they intend to fight?

Does the Kuomintang see us as a threat? If the Kuomintang cannot be a proper Chinese person, if it cannot view the cross-strait issue from the grand perspective of the Chinese nation, but instead becomes an obstacle to the rise of the Chinese nation, then the fate of the Kuomintang will be to be swept into the garbage bin of history. Why has the Kuomintang suddenly come out with this kind of rhetoric? It is obviously due to self-interest, playing small games.

On one hand, the Kuomintang is certainly under pressure from the United States, so it cannot withstand it on issues such as military budget, intending to yield. On the other hand, there will be elections in the island next year, and some people within the Kuomintang are eager to please certain swing supporters and increase their support rate. But we must say that if the Kuomintang cannot remain steady on major issues, then some politicians within the Kuomintang will become targets of our strike. I hope that this kind of rhetoric is not ordered by Zheng Lwen.
