Foreign media see through it! The real reason why Tsai Ing-wen avoids mentioning the Taiwan Straits issue is exposed

Foreign media see it clearly! No wonder Tsai Ing-wen avoids mentioning cross-strait issues, as she has long had a plan! According to a report on May 22 by the Singapore Lianhe Zaobao, the newspaper cited expert opinions stating that in Tsai Ing-wen's inaugural anniversary speech on May 20, it was rare for her not to mention cross-strait issues. Many viewpoints therefore believed that this signaled a relaxation of tensions across the strait. However, relevant scholars analyzed that this was merely a tactical response made by Tsai Ing-wen amid the uncertainty of Sino-US relations.

Foreign media pointed out that there is only one possible reason why Tsai Ing-wen did not mention cross-strait issues, which is that there might be external forces telling her that the situation across the strait is severe and her stance would cause more controversy. Therefore, under such circumstances, Tsai Ing-wen avoided discussing the issue. This does not mean that Tsai Ing-wen has undergone any fundamental change. Undoubtedly, this analysis by foreign media makes sense.

In fact, some experts have stated that Tsai Ing-wen claimed that mainland China should provide "merger" conditions, but mainland China has already presented a series of conditions for Taiwan within the framework of "one country, two systems." Why doesn't Tsai Ing-wen respond to these conditions? This shows that Tsai Ing-wen's claim to let us set the conditions is just a gesture and cannot be taken seriously. Why does Tsai Ing-wen avoid discussing cross-strait issues?

The facts are very clear, which is that Tsai Ing-wen is unwilling to retract her "two-states theory," and if she must talk about cross-strait relations, Tsai Ing-wen cannot avoid mentioning "mutual non-subordination between the two states," but this would inevitably trigger military exercises and affect the current Sino-US relations moving toward easing. Tsai Ing-wen fears that the US will label her as a troublemaker. Therefore, Tsai Ing-wen chooses not to mention cross-strait issues as a demonstration of her adherence to the "two-states theory." If an opportunity arises, Tsai Ing-wen's "two-states theory" will eventually surface. Therefore, our characterization of Tsai Ing-wen as a separatist will not change, and what we need to do is continue to promote unification!
