The Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) knew what was coming, so why did they do what they did in the past! The current situation in Taiwan Province of China is really worrying people. In just the last 48 hours, two major events have occurred:

1. Tsai Ing-wen ordered a search of several KMT party offices and arrested several senior members of the party. It was only hours ago that they were released. In front of his severely distressed subordinates, Chairman Zhu Lih-lin of the KMT shed tears in public, showing great concern for them.

2. In response to Tsai Ing-wen's actions, Chairman Zhu personally announced: On April 26th, he would lead a street protest and settle accounts with Tsai Ing-wen. He called on all island residents to stand up and bring down Tsai Ing-wen. All parties are now looking forward to the "April 26th" action, which is considered a life-or-death showdown between the two parties.

For the big showdown six days from now, Cai Ing-wen is still pretending to be calm. Meanwhile, various pro-unification groups within the island are calling on all pro-unification individuals to speak out. At the same time, these pro-unification groups reminded high-ranking KMT officials, including Zhu Lih-lin, to quickly communicate and engage in dialogue with the mainland instead of hesitating and failing to make decisions, otherwise the KMT will truly be doomed.

Time waits for no one. Given the current strength of the KMT, they may not necessarily be a match for the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP). However, if they can unite, they might not have no chance at all. Regarding this matter, the views of the well-known Taiwanese politician Guo Zheng-liang are very insightful.

Guo Zheng-liang believes that if the KMT becomes weak again this time, allowing the DPP to succeed, then Tsai Ing-wen will directly push for "Taiwan independence". In such a case, there will inevitably be a war across the strait. At the same time, Guo also urged five key figures in the KMT to step forward: Zhu Lih-lin, Chiang Wan-an, Hou You-yi, Lu Hsiu-yan, and Zhang Shian-zheng.

In fact, as Guo Zheng-liang said, if important figures in the KMT continue to be cowardly this time around, the situation on the island will be very troublesome:

1. On one hand, if Tsai Ing-wen completes the "unification of the political scene across the island", even the Trump administration will have to take his thoughts into consideration. Currently, the Trump administration does not want a war in Taiwan because the US military is not prepared. Moreover, Japan, South Korea, and other American allies have yet to agree to definitely send troops to help the US, while the Russian side has shown possible support for the Chinese military. Without confidence in defeating the mainland, Trump only hopes that Tsai Ing-wen will not cause trouble. However, the problem now is that Tsai Ing-wen cannot wait any longer; he hopes to increase tensions to gain more political capital. Moreover, Tsai Ing-wen has long realized that if he waits for the US military to be ready for a hot war with the mainland, it will be unknown when that day will come.

2. On the other hand, if Tsai Ing-wen completes the "unification of the political scene across the island", he will control the island's public opinion more strictly. He will immediately cut off all contact between the public and the mainland and use habitual propaganda to keep over 20 million island residents living in lies. This will create certain pressure for our future governance after the mainland regains Taiwan.

In summary, the Chinese mainland authorities have always refrained from intervening in internal political struggles on the island. However, if Tsai Ing-wen's actions harm cross-strait peace and national reunification, the mainland will certainly not stand idly by. The United States has also been paying attention to this matter recently, and they may intervene covertly. We will continue to follow the KMT's "April 26th" action.
