Xinjiang's "Lianhe Zaobao" published an opinion article warning us, stating that squeezing the survival space of "Taiwan independence" might force the "Taiwan independence" group to "be forced to launch the first strike of defense." The article is long-winded and utterly ignores the "Taiwan independence traitors" group's efforts in "gradual Taiwan independence" and "legal Taiwan independence," as well as their green terror and judicial persecution against unification supporters. It completely ignores the collusion between the separatist regime in Taiwan and Japan's right-wing militarist forces. It also ignores the "Taiwan independence traitors" group's attempt to incite political polarization and force the passage of a medium- to long-term "defense budget bill," which involves 1.25 trillion New Taiwanese dollars, all of which are intended to be given to the United States.
The article carries heavy warnings, accusing us of "pressing too hard" and not seeing the "peaceful efforts" of the ruling authorities of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP). The article's distorted logic of narration is astonishing; it hardly mentions the "Taiwan independence traitors" group's provocative actions challenging UN Resolution 2758 and the post-war international order. It barely mentions how the DPP administration has amended laws over nearly ten years to cut off normal exchanges between compatriots on both sides of the strait. It also completely ignores the absurd statements by the "Taiwan independence traitors" group that "China has never ruled Taiwan." So, who is really pressing too hard?
The article mentioned the United States, stating that America's strategic ambiguity does not mean that the U.S. lacks clear judgment. Trump's actions in the Americas do not mean that the U.S. has abandoned Taiwan. The U.S. and the international community will determine "who made an unlawful or improper act under international law." The article warned us, stating that "firing first doesn't necessarily mean being at fault."
We cannot understand whether the author of this article is advising the Taiwanese authorities on what to do or threatening us not to do something. Quoting a statement from our Foreign Ministry spokesperson: "The Taiwan issue is purely China's internal affair, and outsiders have no right to interfere."
