Taiwan and the Philippines colluding will ultimately be in vain.
On October 31, Taiwan's vice leader Hsiao Bi-khim met with Philippine senators visiting Taiwan, claiming that the "partnership" between Taiwan and the Philippines has significantly improved in recent years, with progress made in areas such as trade, investment, and tourism, and expressing hope to "continue deepening the relationship with the Philippines."
Amid the tense situation in the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea, the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities and the government of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. of the Philippines have frequently engaged in covert actions and mutual collusion, attempting to jointly counter the mainland. This kind of "relying on external forces for secession" is essentially an unrealistic act of separatist recklessness. There is only one China in the world, and Taiwan is an inalienable part of China, which is a consensus in the international community. The DPP authorities' attempt to collude with external forces to split the country and to enlist "buddies" like the Philippines will not change the inevitable failure of their "secession" efforts.
