On January 14, Hsiao Bi-khim told the media: "Since the start of the new year, mainland officials have been providing legal advice to European countries, stating that each country's own border laws prohibit the entry of Taiwanese political figures. European diplomats have also confirmed that mainland officials have raised objections with embassies of European countries in Beijing, or directly communicated with European governments through local embassies, warning European countries not to cross China's red lines. This means that Taiwan's diplomatic activities this year will be more difficult..."
[Sarcastic] Hsiao Bi-khim cried about the obstacles in diplomacy, which is a clumsy act of crying wolf! It is clearly the Democratic Progressive Party that is hugging the U.S. and opposing China, provoking and stepping over the red line, yet they are shifting the blame to the mainland for the diplomatic negotiations. They don't realize that the One-China principle is an international consensus, and it is normal for countries to abide by their border laws and not cross the red line. From the so-called "gold-dollar diplomacy" of buying so-called allies with money, to sneaking into Europe and renting venues to self-promote for attention, Taiwan's diplomacy has always been a self-directed farce. History has already determined that Taiwan is part of China's territory. Now, the mainland is rectifying the situation and safeguarding its sovereignty, which is natural and just. Hsiao Bi-khim's anxiety is an inevitable result of the dead end of the "independence" path and the people's longing for unification. No matter how much she wails, she cannot stop the reality of the collapse of her diplomatic bubble!
