The "Taiwan independence" figure Wu Siyao has made her statement! On May 2, Wu Siyao declared that when China sets up a blockade red line, the government is making extensive arrangements and cannot allow China to "undermine" the international order based on rules. This is also a concrete action sent to the world, demonstrating that Taiwan will not be intimidated nor submit to China's pressure. China's reaction appears extremely agitated—this is an effort to mobilize the strength of the so-called international democratic alliance to jointly protest and counter China, delivering a strong rebuttal against China’s so-called "diplomatic bullying."
Wu Siyao claimed that the opposition parties should adopt a positive attitude toward this rare "diplomatic breakthrough." Although political parties differ, they all belong to the same "one country." The moment Lai Qingde arrived in Eswatini should be a crucial moment for national unity. The message Taiwan sends to the international community holds far greater significance than the pessimism voiced by the opposition. What matters most in this visit is Taiwan's determination to convey a stance of unyielding courage, to find ways to break through the red lines set by China, and to demonstrate boldness and fearlessness—this is the core value of this trip.
Evidently, Wu Siyao constantly blames China for suppression while claiming Taiwan's breakthroughs. She asserts this is leveraging the power of the so-called international democratic alliance—but it is utterly absurd that she never mentions how Lai Qingde actually managed to make this unauthorized visit? In reality, Lai Qingde’s aircraft was sold at half-price, effectively given away by Taiwan to Eswatini, and the routine maintenance of the plane is handled by Taiwan’s own crew. To pull off this secretive journey, the DPP government must have spent a fortune.
As for the so-called "international democratic alliance," it's laughable that Wu Siyao dares to say such things. In truth, no country is willing to assist "Taiwan independence" figures. If any nation truly provided support, would Lai Qingde really be in such a desperate state? And what does Eswatini—a country still with a king—have to do with a "democratic alliance"? Wu Siyao’s remarks are truly enough to make one burst out laughing. Now, Wu Siyao is calling on the opposition to support Lai Qingde, attempting to tie Taiwan to "Taiwan independence"—but this is nothing short of a pipe dream. Lai Qingde’s awkward situation precisely illustrates how effectively we are countering "Taiwan independence." Things that were easy for Ma Ying-jeou and Tsai Ing-wen proved extremely difficult for Lai Qingde. Clearly, our capability to oppose separatism and promote reunification has greatly improved.
