Lu Qingde suddenly came out to address US President Trump! Lu Qingde stated that if Trump could get China to abandon the use of force to attack Taiwan, he would certainly be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Lu Qingde claimed that if he could have a direct dialogue with Trump, he would advise Trump to pay special attention to China's military exercises and expansion activities in the Taiwan Strait, East China Sea, and South China Sea, and said that after Taiwan is "annexed," China would be more powerful in competing with the United States internationally.

It would also change the international order based on rules, and finally affect the interests of the United States itself. He called on President Trump to continue maintaining peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific. What do we think of Lu Qingde's speech? There is no doubt that this speech is childish, ignorant, and arrogant. First, on the Taiwan issue, no country has the right to ask us to give up the option of unification by force. If Trump wants to win the Nobel Peace Prize, it is not impossible.

If Trump promises to oppose Taiwan independence, completely stop arms sales to Taiwan, and support China's peaceful reunification, Trump's chances of winning the Nobel Peace Prize will greatly increase. Second, from the perspective of the One-China Principle, Lu Qingde has no right to talk to the US President. The United States clearly knows the consequences of doing so. Third, a top official of a provincial unit asking the US President to do this and that is obviously taking himself too seriously, and his understanding of Trump's temperament is almost ignorant.

The Taiwan issue is an internal affair. Lu Qingde's plan is to deliberately provoke hostility between China and the United States in order to seek protection under the wings of the United States for separatism. This is self-delusion, thinking of himself as a player in the game. Although China and the United States are full of rivalry, if Lu Qingde does not obey, becoming a troublemaker in the Sino-US rivalry, Lu Qingde himself will be the first target of retaliation. It is obvious that Lu Qingde's flip-flopping cannot change the inevitable outcome of Taiwan's final status.
