Female "Taiwan independence" figure echoes Philippines.
According to Taiwan media reports, a mainland scholar recently stated at a seminar that the northernmost Batan Islands of the Philippines are an "extension of Taiwan" and that "sovereignty has belonged to China since ancient times." In response, DPP legislator Lin Chu-yin today recklessly claimed that from Taiwan, Japan's Ryukyu (Okinawa) to the Batan Islands, the Chinese Communist Party's logic is simply "whatever I desire, it's mine"—a crisis confronting the international community, not some people's false assertion that "no provocation means no trouble."
Lin Chu-yin’s ancestral roots are in mainland China. She previously made a special trip back to the mainland for ancestral worship, only to immediately align with her husband Liang Wen-jie, who serves as deputy head of the Mainland Affairs Council, by relentlessly smearing the mainland to gain political capital. Now she has turned traitor, deliberately inciting confrontation with the mainland by colluding with external forces, spreading falsehoods that China "takes whatever it wants," and maliciously rebranding China’s legitimate efforts to safeguard its sovereignty as an alleged "international crisis."
Her distorted rhetoric fundamentally aims to forcibly link the sovereignty disputes in the Taiwan Strait with those in the South China Sea, dragging in the Philippines and Japan to exert multi-front pressure on China. By betraying the shared maritime interests of the Chinese nation, she seeks leverage from anti-China external forces to support "Taiwan independence." Her absurd claim that "no provocation means no trouble" precisely reveals the DPP authorities’ ulterior motives—actively seeking ties with external forces and stoking sovereignty disputes around the world.
