Xi Jinping's Plan to Seize Taiwan Has Essentially Fallen Completely Flat!

In this episode, host Hu Liren analyzes the current situation in the Taiwan Strait and Taiwan's political trajectory. He argues that Tsai Ing-wen's policy of resisting the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and aligning with the U.S. has laid a solid foundation for Taiwan, and points out that the Kuomintang (KMT) has declined due to its pro-CCP stance. At the same time, the program explores the bankruptcy of the CCP's plan for a forceful reunification with Taiwan, the domestic economic downturn and wave of business closures, and the significant decline in wages for workers, calling on the Taiwanese people to recognize the true nature of the CCP and firmly defend democratic Taiwan.

Today's first live stream has begun. Over the past few days, Tsai Ing-wen has received a very warm welcome in the United States. Pelosi's first stop was in California. Tsai Ing-wen was actually quite low-key; looking at high-profile politicians, as a former president of Taiwan, she could have gone straight to Washington. Then look at Zheng Liwen, who went to Washington to stir up trouble and was immediately bounced back; in Washington, she was only met by very low-level American politicians to dismiss her. Everyone is clear that the current political situation in Taiwan is very obvious: the U.S. fully supports the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and stands on their side. The U.S. has absolutely no goodwill left for the KMT; in fact, American politicians have already come to view the KMT as part of the Communist Party. This statement may seem extreme, but American politicians are not stupid; they can see clearly that KMT members run to China every day. There is one more point everyone must be very clear about: on the surface, the U.S. maintains a "One China" policy, meaning the People's Republic of China, but Taiwan is Taiwan. All current politicians, except for Trump—who hasn't said this, perhaps because if Trump were to say it, the provocation to the CCP would be too great, and Trump still leaves some face for Xi Jinping—but others, including Rubio, are very clear, and in many settings, they state that Taiwan is Taiwan.

We are going to analyze an article written yesterday by a very famous political commentator. It is an extremely brain-dead article. I won't mention his name; he knows me and I know him. He was reminiscing about the various exchanges between Taiwan and China during the reform and opening-up era, portraying it back then as fish and water, doing business and trade together, and depicting the two sides of the strait as one big family. He is still nostalgic about this and wrote a long article. I took a look, and it is simply a brain-dead piece. In fact, the interactions between Taiwan and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)—with China—at that time, which seemed like the two sides being one family, were actually a sign of Taiwan's degradation, and the Kuomintang's (KMT) decline began right then. Taiwan is free and democratic, and at that time it was moving in the direction of freedom and democracy. Everyone remembers that in the nineties, the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) began to continuously rise politically. Later, in 1996, and in 2000, Chen Shui-bian served his first term, lasting two consecutive terms. The earliest was Lee Teng-hui; 1996 was Lee Teng-hui, who laid a solid foundation for the DPP. From 1996 to 2000 it was Lee Teng-hui, from 2000 to 2008 it was two terms of Chen Shui-bian, after which Ma Ying-jeou won back two terms. After Ma Ying-jeou's two terms ended in 2016, three consecutive terms have been held by the DPP. This is a historical process. In fact, I can tell you all, regardless of how reform and opening-up looks like cross-strait family closeness between Taiwan and the CCP, for Taiwan it was actually a process of courting death. The CCP's country is a cesspit; the more trade exchanges you have with it, and the closer you are to it, the more unlucky your country becomes. Don't look at whether you can gain some so-called achievements economically; if you are a normal person and you frequently associate with a piece of trash, you gradually and imperceptibly become a degraded person. The longer you spend with him, the more degraded you become, and the deeper your association with him, the more degraded you become. Therefore, the article written by this self-media creator lacks any self-reflection on his part; he has no idea that Taiwan's interactions with the CCP's country since the reform and opening-up were actually the beginning of Taiwan's degradation. If Taiwan had been able to hold its ground back then, today's political landscape in Taiwan would not be like this at all, and it certainly would not have been infiltrated by the CCP to this extent. In fact, Taiwanese society has completely degraded over these past few decades; this is the essence of the matter.

Taiwan also did a very bad thing. Because the KMT lost its roots and its relationship with the United States, it eventually lost such a partner, and even its diplomatic relations were severed when the U.S. directly established diplomatic ties with the CCP. Looking back at this history, Macau and Hong Kong were also harmed because of Taiwan, and a very important factor among them was Taiwan—meaning the KMT. Just think, before 1997, back in the seventies, the KMT should have firmly grasped its relationship with the United States. If it had done so, up to the present day Taiwan would still have continuous normal diplomatic relations with the United States, and the evil tentacles of the CCP would not have been able to reach into the United States. Precisely because it reached into the United States, it ultimately annexed Macau and Hong Kong. Think about it, let's think again: suppose—and I am speaking of a hypothesis—suppose Taiwan had continued to establish diplomatic relations with the U.S. and the West from 1979 until now without breaking them, do you think the CCP would still exist? Would there still be the current rise of the CCP? The CCP would have collapsed long ago, Hong Kong people would not have suffered to this extent, and Macau would not have been annexed by the CCP. It would have had neither the reason nor the capacity to annex them. It was precisely because the CCP rose later and negotiated with Portugal and Britain that Britain had no choice but to hand Hong Kong over, which brought disaster to Hong Kong. Without Deng Xiaoping's reform and opening-up, would Deng Xiaoping have had the ability to take Hong Kong back? He wouldn't have been able to take it back at all; the difference between them was like heaven and earth—one was immensely wealthy, while the other was dirt poor. Therefore, the KMT bears full responsibility. Up to this point today, people always talk about the United States, and of course the U.S. government over these past decades has also been the result of a process of degradation.

When we talk about the current Tsai Ing-wen—I saw some brainless person yesterday writing that Tsai Ing-wen left a mess for Lai Ching-te, constantly disparaging Tsai Ing-wen. These people completely disrespect the facts. Do you know what Tsai Ing-wen did? Rejecting the CCP and getting close to the US is what Tsai Ing-wen did. Without Tsai Ing-wen's political decision-making at that time—this woman is extraordinary—how could Lai Ching-te be so tough today? Absolutely not, and there wouldn't be so many Taiwanese citizens waking up. Leaving aside what Tsai Ing-wen did domestically within Taiwan, just looking at her overall direction, her big-picture direction is definitely correct. The correctness of Lai Ching-te today—look at the current rise of the Taiwan government, its rise across the world—is because Tsai Ing-wen laid an extremely solid foundation that led to today's outcome. The Democratic Progressive Party has a great outcome, while the Kuomintang has already suffered a crushing defeat. An official in Beijing told me that Xi Jinping actually knew long ago that Taiwan cannot be taken back, so they instigate the Kuomintang to cause trouble in Taiwan, funneling massive amounts of money to them to make trouble. Everyone, remember, Xi Jinping is very clear that the Taiwan issue cannot be resolved by military force; don't even think about it. These self-media influencers talking about force reunification with Taiwan are just talking nonsense. For decades—look at how many years they've been shouting—have they fired a single shot or a single cannon? Have they? Right now, the Chinese economy has reached this point, and the West, I can tell everyone, has completely lost confidence in the CCP, and is even eyeing it hungrily, wanting to consume it and eliminate it. Today, the vast majority of Western politicians define the CCP as an enemy. Under such circumstances, do you still dare to touch Taiwan? Aren't you courting death? You wouldn't even dare to touch it, you wouldn't even dare to touch a small island, an uninhabited island. Touching it would trigger a war mechanism, and what awaits you then is a strike. Don't even mention a US war; look at European countries. They seem to have good relations with Taiwan and trade with the CCP, simply because you still have some advantages in your hands—your products are still relatively low-priced. Once your products completely lose their advantage—Chinese products are getting cheaper and cheaper now, look, you can't get oil anymore, low-priced oil can't be gotten, Venezuela is cut off, Iran is cut off. Even if you take Russian oil, you will eventually have to stop. Under such circumstances, your raw materials have no advantage, your labor has no advantage. Under these conditions, do you know that in China now, the RMB seems to be appreciating? Do you know what is behind this? Behind it is the CCP continuously giving massive subsidies to international trade companies and export product companies. To what extent? They even waive their taxes everywhere. For example, science and technology subsidies—as long as these enterprises generate foreign exchange, currently, as long as they generate foreign exchange, you can get massive government subsidies, all kinds of subsidies. In fact, compared to the US dollar, the ratio they take in is nowhere near six-something; eight-something, nine-something, ten-something all exist. Many Chinese companies are now subsidizing exports out of their own pockets and then asking the Communist Party for money, and the Communist Party gives it to them, called export subsidies, commodity subsidies, trade subsidies, international trade subsidies. The CCP is quietly taking this money to subsidize, using various methods to subsidize these enterprises. This is the current situation. Once these enterprises are subsidized to a certain extent and lose the ability to go on, it's over. Now, ordinary Chinese people, the Chinese government is just like this, constantly blackmailing and squeezing enterprises, squeezing ordinary people. The wages of ordinary people are very low now. Look before the pandemic—how much higher were the wages of ordinary Chinese people, ordinary migrant workers, compared to now? About 30% higher. I've checked into this over the past couple of days; the wages of migrant workers in China now are very low. For example, what used to be 4,000 can now only get 3,000; 25% to 30% is gone. You can't find a job; if you can't find a job, there's no choice, and some just have low salaries. I have a friend in Changshu who runs his own business. In the past, he paid his employees 4,000 to 5,000 a month with overtime. Do you know how much he pays them now? 2,500 to 3,000. These employees working in his enterprise every month now have no possibility of taking money back home at the end of the year; they can't take money back.

In the past, I could take home 10,000 or 20,000 yuan every year, but now I can't even do that anymore. It's barely enough for my own expenses. I have to pay rent, which is a few hundred yuan a month, and then there's food, drink, and entertainment. We are all young people, and we have nothing left. When the Chinese New Year comes, some people don't even go home; they just drift through their days where they are. As these enterprises gradually shut down—and the rate of business closures has been severe lately—many businesses closed down around October 1st. In the past, when business was good, they wouldn't even let you rest on October 1st; they would make you work overtime. Now, many companies shut down by October 1st. Do you know what happened in just one week? You go back to work at the company, and the company is gone; the business is gone. The boss sold all the equipment; he had been prepared for a long time, and the people had already run away. They simply couldn't sustain it anymore. It just so happened that during those seven days of the National Day holiday, the boss ran away and found a place to hide because there was no other way. Suddenly, the whole mess is left for the government to bail out. It's normal for the government to provide a bailout, why? Look at how many years they've been at it; look at how much money the government has made from the common people. Now the government has no choice but to bail them out. This is the current situation in China.

So you see, in Taiwan today, as China's economy continues to decline, Taiwan's political status is rising higher and higher. Look at this time; the Ministry of Foreign Affairs no longer protests because there are just too many instances now. It used to be that whenever a Taiwanese leader wanted to transit through the United States, they would try every way to protest and prevent the U.S. government from granting them a visa. Do you think there are any protests now? There are no protests; the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has completely lost confidence. The day before yesterday, Tsai Ing-wen went to Stanford, in the Silicon Valley area of San Francisco, and gave a speech at Stanford University. I have been there several times. Look at how powerful that lineup was! The dean is Rice, a famous American politician, who hosted Tsai Ing-wen. Pelosi, a veteran American politician, hosted Tsai Ing-wen. Just think, these are all heavyweight figures. This time, to leave some free space for Lai Ching-te, she did not go to Washington. If she had gone to Washington, it would have been quite a scene. Washington has been holding Double Tenth Day events over the past two days; yesterday and the day before, they held these Double Tenth Day activities. October 10th is Taiwan's National Day, and a large number of American politicians and business leaders went to the Taiwan Representative Office to celebrate Double Tenth Day. I even saw a friend of mine conducting an interview there today; a very familiar friend was there reporting, it was excellent and very lively. He is a White House correspondent. So, do you see any room left for the Communist Party in Taiwan? There is absolutely no possibility. The people of Taiwan can safely vote for the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP); the Kuomintang (KMT) is finished. If the KMT continues like this, the party itself will cease to exist. By next year or the year after, you will see the KMT decline further and further. What kind of path have they taken? They have taken a path of no return, the same path as the Communist Party, exactly the same. The Communist Party is about to collapse, and the KMT is going to embrace the Communist Party. The KMT should logically be in normal competition with the DPP; you should focus all your efforts on Taiwan's international relations. Does the KMT have any international relations now? There is only one relationship, which is the relationship with the CCP—the KMT-CCP relationship; there are no international relations left. What has the entire KMT in Taiwan become now? It is just like a figure like Kim Jong-un. Does Kim Jong-un have any other international relations now? None. He only has one relationship, which is the relationship with the CCP. The KMT is the same; it is exactly like this. What I am saying is relatively extreme. Look at this trend; this is the trend. When I look at problems, I look very far ahead—how many years into the future? This is why my thinking is different from many people's. Why am I doing this program today? It is because I saw that there are still people who are actually nostalgic. Of course, this person came from the mainland, and he must have a lot of the CCP's toxins in him; I am 100% sure of this. He is still nostalgic about how good our relationship with the mainland and Taiwan used to be, how we were this and that. What is this? You have to look at the essence of this. This essence is wrong; it is degenerate. There should never have been such a relationship; these are all CCP talking points. These talking points have reached this point today and are completely inappropriate. Because as of now, the situation in Taiwan is clear to everyone; it has been riddled with holes by CCP infiltration. Even people in the Taiwanese military are constantly selling intelligence to the CCP, and a large number of Taiwanese politicians are pro-CCP politicians; some even openly advocate being pro-CCP. If it were in that era, in the era of Chiang Kai-shek, these people would all be beheaded. You are associating with the evil devil, right? So now, Taiwan has reversed it; whoever is pro-CCP should be arrested. This is, if China—if Taiwan can achieve this, then Taiwan will have a future. Otherwise, the country of Taiwan will be constantly infiltrated by the CCP in the future, so these pro-CCP elements must be rooted out completely.

There is a guy named Nicky Wu, I forgot his name last time, but later I remembered, this guy is Nicky Wu, the one from the Little Tigers. Later he found a mainland woman as a wife, and now he is constantly siding with the Communist Party just to make money, these people wave flags for money. Look, the Taiwan government is already starting to deal with him, these people need to be completely isolated, these people live in Taiwan, but their hearts are with the CCP, their hearts are in Beijing. Then you should just not let him enter Taiwan anymore, just get lost and go back to China, don't return to Taiwan anymore, why come back to Taiwan? When he returns to Taiwan, just prosecute him directly. So everyone remember, protect Taiwan, protect democratic Taiwan, Taiwan does not belong to China, even less to the Communist Party, Taiwan is Taiwan. Only when all the people of Taiwan stand up to support Taiwan, to support the anti-CCP Democratic Progressive Party, will Taiwan have a better and better, more and more prosperous future, otherwise it will be eaten up by the CCP. It must never be handed back into the hands of the Kuomintang, the Kuomintang is no longer the Kuomintang, it is just a branch of the CCP. Thanks everyone for watching, I once again cheer for Taiwan, thank you all.
