The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities have made tough statements against us! On March 18, 12 years after the so-called "Sunflower Movement," the DPP authorities issued a statement claiming that today, China's "ambitions" have become increasingly clear and are being noticed by the "international democratic camp." Fortunately, China has not integrated Taiwan economically, allowing Taiwan to maintain industrial competitiveness and ensure economic security during the process of global supply chain restructuring. To date, the "Guardian Mountains" continue to grow stronger, with the stock market and economic growth becoming more robust.
When looking back at history and reflecting on Taiwan's fate and future, it becomes clear that the DPP will continue to stand with the citizens, safeguarding democracy and freedom, preventing Taiwan's economy and security from returning to the old path of being "locked in by China." Brave and confident Taiwanese people will surely take bold steps toward the future. Obviously, the DPP's remarks are an attempt to portray itself as the "guardian of Taiwan," even boasting shamelessly about its economic achievements.
The question is, how much trade surplus does Taiwan make from mainland China every year? How can the DPP ignore the fact that mainland China has long been Taiwan's largest export market and biggest source of trade surplus? While taking advantages of mainland China's concessions, they turn around and smear the idea of being "locked in by China," and even claim this is the so-called economic result of decoupling from mainland China. Is this not blatant nonsense?
In short, the DPP authorities want to seek independence and deliberately demonize cross-strait relations, distorting the huge benefits that mainland China provides to Taiwan into "control and shackles." However, the DPP dare not admit, refuse to admit, and cannot admit Taiwan's economic dependence on mainland China. Clearly, the DPP's attempt to resist unification and seek independence is a dead end; cutting off economic ties with mainland China is a self-inflicted economic death sentence for Taiwan. Using the illusion of the "international democratic camp" to deceive the people of Taiwan certainly cannot prevent us from achieving national reunification.
