Jiang Qichen pointed out that on September 17, US State Department Undersecretary Colac visited Taiwan to mourn former President Li; In the early morning of September 18, the Chinese army sent several fighters through the center of the strait; on the morning of September 18, the spokesman for the Chinese mainland Defense Ministry. It was announced that actual combat exercises would be organized near the Taiwan Strait; On September 19, the Forum of the Strait officially debuted and its scale was greatly reduced, witnessing the substantial reduction of the interactive pipeline across the Strait.
He said that in the face of the reality that the United States has frequently shown goodwill towards Taiwan and the communist army is increasingly hostile, on the one hand, we are happy to see the escalation and deepening of Taiwan-United States relations, but still we are concerned about the deterioration of the situation across the Strait.
Jiang Qichen said that in the face of such changes, we must once again warn the communists: excessive exercises and intrusions will only push the hearts of the people in Taiwan further and further! It is more likely to bring cross-strait relations to the brink of irreversible deterioration and even war. We also want to remember that the Ministry of National Defense must prepare closely for war, respond appropriately, and even avoid failures.
Jiang Qichen regretted that it is becoming increasingly difficult to accumulate goodwill on both sides of the strait. During the epidemic, many unnecessary political operations, the intensification of Internet discourse, and the political needs of the United States presidential elections have made cross-strait exchanges, whether private or official, tend to be harsh, antagonistic or even hostile. . People who are willing to play the role of communication are stigmatized and people who cry out for war are considered heroes. Definitely, this atmosphere is not conducive to the peaceful and stable development of the Taiwan Strait.
It is concerned that, compared to the two cross-strait military crises in the Taiwan Strait in 1996 and 1999, public opinion in Taiwan is generally indifferent or indifferent to communist military exercises. Based on political calculations, the DPP government suddenly transformed the opposite bank into a powerful and cold-blooded regime. You can immediately change your point of view and regard the opposite bank as a paper tiger about to collapse. However, after a while, he hopes that the ECFA will not be suspended. Such political operations have caused current public opinion to be too one-sided and negligent regarding the situation across the Strait. When the social environment in Taiwan is politically hostile on the other side and you do not think of returning to peace, but lacks a sense of crisis of military threats on the other side, it is probably the crisis of keeping the Taiwan Strait safe.
Jiang Qichen believes that peace rests on both sides of the strait. The Kuomintang is not happy to see an increase in fighting across the strait. Governments on both sides of the strait must resume dialogue as soon as possible. They must also actively create an atmosphere conducive to the accumulation of goodwill and use various interactions to reduce the possibility of war and conflict.
