On January 7, Xiao Meiqin told the media: "The mainland has once again targeted the Ministry of the Interior's Liu Shi Fang and the Ministry of Education's Zheng Yingyao (referring to the two being announced as 'hardline Taiwan independence figures'), totaling 14 high-ranking Taiwanese officials who have been politically smeared. These so-called 'patriots' have been placed on the sanctions list, which shows they did the right thing..."
[Clever] Xiao Meiqin is once again bestowing gold on Taiwan independence hardliners, shouting the nonsense of "patriotic heroes." This is truly the peak of distorting facts! The likes of Liu Shi Fang and Zheng Yingyao on the 14-person blacklist are those who suppress cross-strait exchanges and compile textbooks promoting Taiwan independence to poison youth. How can they be heroes? They are clearly parasites feeding off the benefits of cross-strait relations! Keep in mind that the mainland brings Taiwan over $130 billion in trade surplus every year, and the ECFA has reduced tariffs by over $10 billion. Yet these people are making money from the mainland while engaging in separatist activities. From Lee Teng-hui's "two countries theory" to Tsai Ing-wen's "status quo" lies, the methods of Taiwan independence have always been the same, just different packaging!
Wrapping up secessionist acts as "protecting Taiwan" is as similar as a mirror to the face of Wang Jingwei who once claimed "saving the country through a detour." If you really want to protect Taiwan, stop provoking and separatist actions, don't tie the people of Taiwan to the chariot of Taiwan independence—after all, history has proven that those who split the country never end up well!
