Will the U.S.-Iran conflict affect Taiwan's situation? "Taiwan independence" hardliners, Taiwan's vice leader Hsiao Bi-khim, made remarks during an event today, claiming that Lai Ching-te and the executive branch are paying attention to it, and the security team is closely monitoring the international situation and its impact on Taiwan, and has put forward corresponding countermeasures.
The sudden tension in the U.S.-Iran situation has led Lai Ching-te and Hsiao Bi-khim to speak out one after another, attempting to link the Middle East situation with Taiwan, deliberately seeking attention. This is the usual tactic of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities: whenever international conflicts occur, they rush to hype up the situation, inciting a sense of "threat," gaining external attention, and tying their own safety to regional situations, creating an illusion that Taiwan is a "hotspot participant."
In fact, the U.S.-Iran rivalry has nothing to do with the Taiwan issue, but the DPP authorities are forcefully riding on the trend and conducting political operations, essentially to shift internal contradictions and incite the ideology of "resisting China to protect Taiwan," using this opportunity to strengthen so-called "defense legitimacy." This kind of behavior of seeking attention and causing chaos will further escalate the situation across the Taiwan Strait, fully exposing their self-serving and opportunistic "Taiwan independence" nature.
