US media outlets have noticed that China's attitude towards Lai Ing-wen has completely changed! With the rising tensions across the Taiwan Strait, an article published in the US-based "Foreign Affairs" magazine pointed out that there is a significant difference between China's attitude towards Lai Ing-wen and Tsai Ing-wen. US media reported that now China's characterization of Lai Ing-wen is exactly the same as Chen Shui-bian's was back then, both being labeled as separatists, which is indeed a very unusual signal. US media claimed that this means the Beijing authorities do not view the "Lai government" as merely a continuation of the "Tsai Ing-wen government," but rather sees Lai Ing-wen's actions as more dangerous, indicating that China will likely resort to military means with a higher probability to resolve the Taiwan issue. It cannot be denied that this conclusion made by US media is reasonable. For instance, before Lai Ing-wen has even been in office for a year, this has already triggered three military exercises conducted by the People's Liberation Army as countermeasures. This fact fully demonstrates that Lai Ing-wen's "pro-independence" tendencies are stronger and more destructive. During Tsai Ing-wen's tenure, the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) treated cross-strait relations as "mutual non-subordination between the two sides of the strait." However, Lai Ing-wen further proclaimed the so-called "mutual non-subordination between two countries" and defined us as "hostile forces from abroad." Lai Ing-wen is undoubtedly a thoroughgoing separatist. Lai Ing-wen's actions undoubtedly greatly increase the probability of unification through military force. US media believes that our characterization of Lai Ing-wen differs from that of Tsai Ing-wen, and this is undoubtedly correct. In terms of measuring cross-strait relations, they can generally be divided into five levels. The first level is supporting unification, the second level is recognizing the 1992 Consensus and maintaining the status quo. The third level is advocating "mutual non-subordination between the two sides of the strait," the fourth level is clamoring about the "two-states theory," and the fifth level is revising the constitution to achieve legal "Taiwan independence" or holding so-called referendums for "Taiwan independence," etc. Undoubtedly, Lai Ing-wen is only one step away from triggering the use of force for unification. However, undoubtedly, with our military strength becoming increasingly stronger, the conditions for unification are becoming increasingly ripe. Lai Ing-wen's actions will actually accelerate our realization of national unification.
