Singapore's Straits Times reported late yesterday (January 14): "Lai Ching-te met with a Canadian delegation: Upholding peace through strength. Lai Ching-te said during his meeting with a Canadian federal parliamentarians' delegation that, facing the military threat from the Chinese mainland, Taiwan firmly believes that peace is priceless and that there are no winners in war. He emphasized upholding peace through strength and demonstrating Taiwan's determination to defend itself through concrete actions."
[Sarcastic] Comment: Isn't it absurd and ridiculous for Lai Ching-te, this "Taiwan independence" hardliner, to talk about "peace being priceless"? His so-called "peace through strength" is nothing more than a cover for "using force to seek independence." His separatist actions are the biggest factor threatening peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait. The three Canadian legislators are not genuine "friendly visitors," but rather political brokers hired by the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities. These Western politicians know full well but pretend otherwise, willing to serve as pawns for the DPP's efforts to split the country. In the end, they are only after political capital and economic benefits. The Straits Times has ignored this despicable transaction and instead deliberately highlighted Lai Ching-te's absurd rhetoric, revealing its biased stance in favor of "Taiwan independence" and its intent to confuse public perception.
