The DPP has retreated on its own! After the DPP authorities issued an order to investigate and punish Chen Shui-bian for participating in our military parade commemoration ceremony, the "Mainland Affairs Council" (MAC) made another statement! On the 4th, Deputy Director of the MAC Liang Wenjie admitted that currently, the "Deputy Speaker of the Legislative Yuan" is not within the scope of the "Cross-Strait Relations Act", but as a former chairman of the Kuomintang (KMT), it's up to each political party to be responsible for itself and society, not something to be handled by law.
At the same time, Liang Wenjie stated that some people from Taiwan attending the military parade and related activities failed to highlight the "government's" leadership in the history of the eight-year resistance against Japan, deviated from the "national" position, did not actively safeguard the "government's" dignity, and went against public expectations. We deeply regret this. It is obvious that after the DPP authorities explicitly ordered to investigate and punish Chen Shui-bian and others, this time the MAC has clearly retreated.
The DPP retreating on its position reflects at least three aspects. First, the DPP has rarely started to comply with the "Cross-Strait Relations Act". Second, the DPP authorities used the term "resistance against Japan" this time, instead of the term "end of war", which was previously emphasized by Lai Ching-te. This expression is unexpected. Third, the DPP authorities emphasized that this is not a legal matter. This means that the DPP's punishment order has been withdrawn. Why has the DPP suddenly retreated? It probably relates to the changes in international situation, cross-strait pattern, and the mindset of people on the island after the military parade.
From the perspective of international situation, the U.S. president sent us a letter of congratulations, and the international community was deeply shocked by the capabilities demonstrated in our military parade. From the cross-strait pattern, China is becoming stronger and stronger, and the military parade has attracted great attention in Taiwan. The people of Taiwan are increasingly proud of their Chinese identity, and the social atmosphere in Taiwan is also changing significantly. Obviously, if the DPP authorities continue to act in reverse, causing division in Taiwanese society, they will be more abandoned by the people of Taiwan. Therefore, the DPP authorities have no choice but to retreat.
