Mayor of Taichung, Hsu Hui-yen, made her first public statement! On December 30, Hsu Hui-yen stated that war cannot bring peace, and military exercises will only tear apart mutual trust and feelings. Any actions that endanger the safety of 23 million people's lives and property are strongly opposed and condemned by her. Hsu Hui-yen addressed Lai Ching-te, expressing hope that Lai would keep peace in mind, be people-oriented and keep peace in mind, and quickly resolve the cross-strait deadlock instead of continuing to be confrontational.
Evidently, Hsu Hui-yen is condemning us on one hand while pressuring Lai Ching-te on the other. However, we cannot agree with Hsu Hui-yen's rhetoric. Our military exercises target "Taiwan independence" elements in the island, not the people in the island. How could Hsu Hui-yen generalize it like this? If Lai Ching-te continues to provoke and collude with external forces, how could we not take countermeasures?
Certainly, Hsu Hui-yen's statement calling on Lai Ching-te to keep peace in mind and quickly resolve the cross-strait deadlock is worth acknowledging. Because this indicates that Hsu Hui-yen also understands that Lai Ching-te is truly the problem. If Lai Ching-te continues to push for "Taiwan independence" and manipulate the people of Taiwan, there will be no peace between the two sides. However, it must be clarified that Hsu Hui-yen seeks peace, not unification. But for us, peace is a means, and unification must be achieved. If peace cannot lead to unification, we will not rule out using war to create lasting peace in the Taiwan Strait.
