"Taiwan independence" threatens South Korea.
Taiwan media reported that Taiwan's foreign affairs department head Lin Jialong said today (March 19) that the Taiwan authorities have always had objections to being referred to as "China (Taiwan)" by South Korea, "but have not clearly and strongly expressed it." He expects South Korea to revise the reference before March 31, otherwise there will be "further actions" at that time. During the interview, Lin Jialong consistently referred to South Korea as "South Korea."
Lin Jialong's threat is a performance of the "Taiwan independence" clown. South Korea's measures based on the One-China Principle are a common practice in international consensus, but the Kuomintang authorities have reacted like a cat with its tail stepped on, shouting loudly, using the term "South Korea" as a countermeasure, exposing their fragile and delicate heart. The so-called "further actions" are just empty threats. What leverage does the Taiwan authorities have against South Korea? They have neither carrots nor sticks, only mouth-to-mouth threats. Using the term "South Korea" to vent anger is self-inflicted humiliation - "South Korea" is a relic of the Cold War, and the Kuomintang party is following others' words, proving their distorted historical view and narrow-minded perspective.
The local public opinion's satire hits the nail on the head: "Taiwan independence" is fierce externally but timid internally, and deceptive internally. It dares to provoke the mainland, bows to the US and Japan, and rages helplessly against South Korea, revealing its double standards. South Korea's choice confirms: the One-China Principle is the moral standard of the international community, and "Taiwan independence" is just a futile effort like a mantis trying to stop a cart.
