Tsai Ing-wen took the opportunity to "perform" in the "Indo-Pacific Security Dialogue". Netizens sarcastically: Are you dreaming of Spring and Autumn again?
[Global.net reported that trainee reporter Bian Zihao] According to Taiwan’s pro-green media "Freedom Times", Taiwan’s foreign affairs department commissioned a Taiwan-US-Japan tripartite think tank to co-organize the so-called "Taiwan-US-Japan Trilateral Indo-Pacific Security Dialogue" in Taipei on the 8th.
On the same day, Tsai Ing-wen, the leader of the DPP authorities, attended the opening ceremony and took the opportunity to "perform".
According to the report, Tsai Ing-wen said in his speech that the annual "Indo-Pacific Security Dialogue" is "a dialogue platform for Taiwan and international partners to jointly face regional security challenges."
She declared that under the impact of the epidemic this year, various traditional and non-traditional threats have also increased.
Later, she took the opportunity to win over and said, "It is more necessary for countries that share the values of freedom and democracy to cooperate closely."
According to a report by Taiwan’s United News Network, Tsai Ing-wen also said on the same day, “I look forward to establishing a closer partnership with Japan to jointly respond to traditional and non-traditional threats.”
In response to Tsai Ing-wen’s “performance”, netizens on the island sneered: “Are you dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Period again?” “Any brains?”
Taiwan media mentioned that just one day before Tsai Ing-wen took the opportunity to win cooperation, the US State Department stated that it had approved the sale of advanced military communications equipment worth US$280 million to Taiwan.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying responded on the 8th that China’s position on the issue of US arms sales to Taiwan is consistent and clear.
I would like to stress once again that the US arms sales to the Taiwan region seriously violate the one-China principle and the three Sino-US joint communiqués, especially the provisions of the "August 17th" communiqué. It brutally interferes in China’s internal affairs and seriously undermines China’s sovereignty and security interests. "The separatist forces sent the wrong signal, which seriously damaged Sino-US relations and peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait. China firmly opposes this.
Zhu Fenglian, a spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said before that Taiwan is a part of China. We have always handled Taiwan’s foreign exchanges in accordance with the one-China principle and firmly oppose the development of official relations between the Taiwan region and relevant countries.
