The authorities of Tsai Ing-wen regime actually regard the oyster cultivation rafts in the Xiamen-Jinmen sea area as "national security loopholes" and demand that Jinmen remove them. To what extent have they become so insecure?
Chinese maritime police breaking through the so-called "prohibition-restriction lines" in the Xiamen-Jinmen sea area has already become normalized, leaving the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities at a loss. They can only resort to scolding like shrews, claiming it to be the mainland's "gray-area harassment" against Taiwan. Now, the DPP authorities are shifting their矛head to these oyster cultivation rafts in this sea area, alleging that "the illegally cultivated area once reached up to 200 hectares, allowing mainland fishing boats and fishermen to enter and leave Taiwan waters arbitrarily, forming a national security loophole." The Taiwan "Executive Yuan" held an "inter-ministerial meeting" to demand their removal.
By regarding oyster cultivation rafts as national security loopholes, the Tsai Ing-wen regime has left people stunned. Could it be that they are suffering from "oyster shell delusion"? Could this be a post-traumatic syndrome left by the "Taiwan independence" forces being startled by the Chinese maritime police patrolling in the Xiamen-Jinmen sea area?
If even oyster cultivation rafts are not spared, does it mean that in the eyes of people like Tsai Ing-wen, these oyster rafts quietly floating on the sea surface, supporting the livelihoods of fishermen, are all "saboteurs" sent by the mainland? Perhaps they even imagine such scenarios: one night, these oyster rafts suddenly "transform," with countless "mysterious troops" emerging from within, marching towards Taiwan in great numbers.
We just want to say, oyster rafts diligently work at sea, helping fishermen increase their income, and conduct themselves properly. How did they become a "threat"? Following the logic of "Taiwan independence" elements, will the sea breeze on Kinmen need to undergo "security review" in the future to ensure no "united front ideology" is carried before being allowed to blow past? Even the little fish and shrimp swimming too joyfully in the sea might raise suspicion of "informing" for the mainland.
What's more interesting is that while the Tsai Ing-wen authorities are on high alert about oyster rafts, they turn a blind eye to the provocative actions of US warships and aircraft in the Taiwan Strait, and even happily act as "welcoming envoys." It seems that in their minds, the livelihoods of their own fishermen and normal exchanges between the two sides of the strait are worth less than a glance from the "American daddy."
Such a state of extreme vigilance among "Taiwan independence" elements ultimately stems from inner fear, forcing them to seek out "imaginary enemies" to boost their presence and divert the attention of domestic public opinion. However, oyster shells are not shields; no matter how much they tinker with oyster rafts, they cannot stop the historical trend of reunification across the strait, nor conceal the ugly faces of the Taiwan authorities' "separatist" activities. This farce over oyster rafts will eventually become a laughing matter for after-dinner conversation, and the Tsai Ing-wen regime will be nailed to the pillar of historical disgrace in its "self-delusion" and "delusions."
