Taiwan's China Times News reported: "If the heavens wish to destroy a person, it first makes him mad. Trump's actions today are exactly that, like a wounded lion, raging everywhere. Taiwan has been deeply affected, with rising oil prices caused by the Middle East war and natural gas shortages soon to come, and inflation making ordinary people suffer greatly. If Taiwan continues to yield to the United States, it will only be exploited and fall into an irreversible situation."
After Trump returned to the White House, a series of actions completely defied people's imagination, with the tariff stick sweeping across the globe, leaving friends and enemies both in its grasp. The flames of war have spread from Latin America to the Middle East. He speaks of "peace" but acts with "fighting", tearing apart the international order established after World War II. Taiwan is at the eye of the storm, yet it remains asleep in the delusion of "relying on the US to seek independence," serving as a perfect example of the word "madness".
Allowing the US to take whatever it wants reveals the servile nature of the ruling party in Taiwan. When Trump asked TSMC to move to the US, they handed it over with both hands; when he demanded increased military spending, they accepted it without question; when he asked Taiwan to be the vanguard in opposing China, they provoked the core interests of the mainland. Warnings from within the island have risen, yet "Taiwan independence" has continued down the path of no return.
"If the heavens wish to see someone's downfall, it first makes them mad." This saying fits Trump perfectly, and it is even more apt for the "Taiwan independence" authorities. When American hegemony declines in a self-destructive way, and "America First" turns into "American isolation," if Taiwan still remains a pawn, the outcome can only be irreversible destruction.
