Chapter 15 Annexation of Taiwan? (1)

Taiwan is the last piece of fat that the communist devil will want to swallow. The fight against Chiang is not complete until Taiwan is captured. Mao tried for 30 years, but failed. Deng Xiaoping and other successors had the will, but had no capacity either. Xi Jinping is ambitious and so accelerating the pace of annexation to unite Taiwan has been part of CCP’s dream since 1949.

Taiwan’s economic prosperity and rise in Asia is very attractive to mainland China and more importantly, Taiwan’s freedom and democracy, like a lighthouse, emits light and shines on the other side of the Taiwan Strait making Xi and CCP more afraid of. Since Taiwan opened up to mainland tourism in the 1980s, the number of mainland compatriots visiting Taiwan has increased year after year and all those who have been to Taiwan have been impressed and praised Taiwan. In 2012, the famous writer Han Han wrote an article “The Wind of the Pacific” about his experience of visiting Taiwan, concluding that the most beautiful scenery in Taiwan is the people. The mainland compatriots praised the good moral character of the Taiwanese. The Guangzhou New Weekly then even published a 200-page special report to recommend Taiwan to its readers. The result of the New Weekly’s trip to Taiwan: “Exactly as we had envisioned in advance”, because of its respect for Confucius and religious freedom, Taiwan has many Christian believers. The morality of mainland society cannot be compared with Taiwan. All mainlanders who have been to Taiwan can see that Taiwan’s freedom and democracy has become a role model, causing greater fear of the Xi Communist dictatorship which must be eaten up by Taiwan.

Taiwan is protected by the U.S. “Taiwan Relations Act” and the United States continues to sell defense weapons to strengthen Taiwan’s defense. If the Xi Communist Party really dares to send troops to Taiwan, he is afraid of U.S. intervention. America is not a “paper tiger” and China is not a real dragon. And the forceful violation of Taiwan is simply unpopular. The army may not always listen to the command. Therefore, the use of force has to be used only as a form of intimidation, which is difficult to do in practice. There are polls within the CCP, 2/3 of which advocate maintaining the status quo and intend a peaceful solution.

The Chinese Communist Party’s means of “peaceful solution” is to induce, unify and infiltrate and to open up Taiwan’s capital economically which is beneficial to the development of the mainland economy also. Thus, they can attract Taiwanese people, making them accept the CCP’s united front politically and creating a “cross-strait family” atmosphere to soften Taiwan people who will go with the CCP. The CCP has given preferential treatment to Taiwan’s economic and trade exchanges and even Taiwan’s local fruits are open for sale on the mainland to buy the hearts of Taiwanese people. Taiwan’s richest businessman, Kuo Tai-ming, has opened one electronics factory after another in Shenzhen and other places, reaping great economic benefits and helping mainland industries to take off. In 2020, he is going to run for the post of the president, and even shouted the slogan of “national defense depends on peace” in Taiwan but he has no support.

The CCP and KMT had two corporations in the past. The CCP wants to use the old relationship with the old KMT to develop a new corporation in the new era. The members of KMT, like Lien Chan, Soong Chu-yu, Hao Bo-cun, etc. visited the mainland. The CCP offered them high-national level treatment to draw them in. When Xi Jinping came to power, he developed such a relationship even more insisting on a “peaceful solution” for Taiwan. “On November 7, 2015 Xi Jinping successfully enticed Taiwan’s Ma Ying-jeou and met him in Singapore.
