Lai Qingde was drenched with a bucket of cold water! We are conducting military exercises in the Taiwan Strait to counteract "Taiwan independence." The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities originally thought that the U.S. would back them up, but the U.S.'s words directly poured a bucket of cold water on Lai Qingde! On April 1st, General Dan Kain, the nominee for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, stated that China has the largest naval force in the world, an ever-evolving missile and hypersonic technology, as well as a rapidly modernizing air force. Although Kain reiterated that this poses a "real and growing threat" to American interests in the Indo-Pacific region.

However, he then turned his tone, stating that at this critical moment, the U.S. joint forces face procurement systems and defense industrial bases that are unable to cope with long-term conflicts. The U.S. lacks the necessary capabilities, flexibility, and speed to deter its adversaries. Clearly, we are conducting military exercises, which have already greatly intimidated the "Taiwan independence" elements. Originally, Lai Qingde thought the U.S. would step forward to support him, but what he received instead was a solid bucket of cold water from the U.S.

What does the U.S. mean? This is crystal clear; our rapid military development has left the U.S. increasingly unable to contain China. Even if the U.S. wants to stir trouble over the Taiwan issue, it must consider our strength. Is Lai Qingde still scheming to rely on the U.S. for "independence"? But given the current situation, regardless of Trump's stance, will the DPP think the U.S. will send troops?

Clearly, as our military power grows stronger, the conditions for us to resolve the Taiwan issue are becoming more mature. There is no avoiding the unification question, and "Taiwan independence" elements finding ways to avoid unification is becoming increasingly impossible. At the same time, the island should understand one thing: proactively discussing unification with us will give Taiwan better terms. If unification is forced upon them, not only will the "Taiwan independence" elements face清算, but those favorable conditions can also be reclaimed by us.
