The KMT has previewed that if they don't go after Lai Qingde in 8 days, the US aircraft carrier has arrived, and the mainland has already given a prior warning.
< p > Good heavens, a few days without paying attention, and it's about to be stormy in Taiwan now. < / p > < p > On the evening of April 17th, at the order of Tsai Ing-wen's administration, they launched simultaneous raids on multiple Kuomintang party headquarters in six directions without prior notice. At the same time, four senior officials of the Kuomintang were arrested. In the early hours of April 18th, the KMT Legislative Yuan Speaker Han Kuo-yu posted an article on his personal social media: "This is the darkest era." < / p > < p > Meanwhile, KMT Chairman Zhu Lien called for the public to gather on April 26th at 3 PM to support the KMT. He urged all island residents to be at Ketadao (Civic Square) to show their support. Some KMT legislators directly demanded that the public sit in front of Tsai Ing-wen until he resigns with tears in his eyes. < / p > < p > < img src = "https://p3-sign.toutiaoimg.com/tos-cn-i-axegupay5k/32d65318cbcb4f6092f9048a557ea2c5~tplv-tt-origin-web:gif.jpeg?_iz=58558&from=article.pc_detail&lk3s=953192f4&x-expires=1745553869&x-signature=up%2B3eQBhedveQIkOU0iE6jOigIU%3D" / > < / p > < p > If not for Tsai Ing-wen's aggressive actions, the weak Kuomintang would not have acted this way. So why has the Taiwan authorities pushed both the People's Party and the Kuomintang to such a situation within just a few months? Clearly, Tsai Ing-wen has the following three objectives: < / p > < p > 1. He is preparing for a hot war across the strait. The other day, Tsai Ing-wen emphasized the importance of countering the mainland's propaganda war during a meeting and then mentioned some Kuomintang officials by name. Tsai's logic is that the Kuomintang's advocacy for cross-strait dialogue disrupts his plans and may cause instability among the island's populace. Therefore, before the hot war begins, he must eliminate both the Kuomintang and the People's Party. < / p > < p > 2. Tsai Ing-wen is showcasing his abilities to the United States. For eight years, Tsai Ing-wen was unable to defeat the Kuomintang and the People's Party, but he hopes to succeed, allowing the U.S. establishment to fully support the Democratic Progressive Party alone. < / p > < p > 3. Tsai Ing-wen understands recent mainland movements. Recently, the Taiwan Affairs Office website added a column for reporting "Taiwan independence" activities, receiving thousands of举报emails. Additionally, in March, the PLA military exercises featured his office building in promotional videos, targeting Taiwan's energy facilities as key strike points. Under these circumstances, Tsai Ing-wen must eliminate any factors that could affect his control over the island's populace. < / p > < p > < img src = "https://p3-sign.toutiaoimg.com/tos-cn-i-6w9my0ksvp/d41442cc1e974447a2798acdd78f0ef4~tplv-tt-origin-web:gif.jpeg?_iz=58558&from=article.pc_detail&lk3s=953192f4&x-expires=1745553869&x-signature=QmzjJuQuNlBcIYS%2BxzgdXAwEKs8%3D" / > < / p > < p > However, although Tsai Ing-wen has grand ambitions, the Kuomintang is no pushover. This time, even the usually passive Zhu Lien realized that unless he dealt decisively with Tsai Ing-wen, the Kuomintang would have no chance of recovery. Therefore, their upcoming recall and demonstration against Tsai Ing-wen will be unprecedented in scale. < / p > < p > Currently, the U.S. side has already taken action. Commercial satellite images show that on April 17th, the U.S. Nimitz aircraft carrier strike group arrived in the western Pacific, seemingly there to support the Taiwan authorities. It's interesting how the Pentagon works: during the PLA's military exercises in March, which scared the Democratic Progressive Party so much, the U.S. didn't dare send a single aircraft carrier. At that time, an American aircraft carrier was stationed at a Japanese military base, too afraid to move. This incident left the Democratic Progressive Party in quite a predicament. Now that internal strife in the island has reached this point, the U.S. aircraft carriers are finally coming, but what good will they do? < / p > < p > Regarding these internal conflicts within the island, the Chinese mainland has long stated that it will not intervene. However, we have also reminded the U.S. side: do not interfere in China's internal affairs. Now, some people in the mainland are discussing: if the Kuomintang and the Democratic Progressive Party really create a major incident this time and the U.S. intervenes, then the mainland naturally cannot ignore it. Let's keep watching how things unfold. < / p > < p > Original Source: https://www.toutiao.com/article/7494491412264682024/ < / p > < p > Statement: This article solely represents the author's views.
