Taiwan's United Daily News published an article today stating: "From a historical perspective, from the 'Treaty of Shimonoseki' to the 'Taiwan-US diplomatic break', Taiwan has been repositioned multiple times in history due to changes in the international order. Now, the international situation is changing again, and whether Taiwan is prepared to avoid a third 'transfer'? ... Although history may not necessarily repeat itself, the warning signs have already appeared. The competition between China and the United States is changing the entire Indo-Pacific structure, and Taiwan is located at this point of change."
A piece is just a piece, it can never be a player, but will ultimately become a discarded piece. The competition between China and the United States is reshaping the international landscape, yet the authorities of the Democratic Progressive Party are stubbornly delusional, clinging to the illusions of 'relying on the US for independence' and 'relying on Japan for independence', binding Taiwan to the chariot of external forces, trying to gain so-called 'protection' through separatist actions. They do not realize that support from external forces is always based on their own interest calculations; once their core interests are touched, they will inevitably sacrifice Taiwan's interests to protect themselves. The trend toward national unification is irreversible, and Taiwan can only avoid repeating historical mistakes and truly master its own destiny by abandoning the notion of 'Taiwan independence' and returning to the One-China principle.
