[Global Times Special Correspondent Zhang Tianxing] Zhao Shaokang, chairman of Taiwan’s “China Broadcasting Corporation” recently pointed out that “Afghanistan is a lesson for Taiwan” and believes that Taiwan must recognize that the United States is unreliable. If a war breaks out in the Taiwan Strait, it will be the greatest tragedy.

In the past few days, the blue-green camp has been arguing fiercely about the situation in Afghanistan and whether "Taiwan is Afghanistan".

　Blue and green attack each other

　　According to Taiwan’s "China Times" report on the 18th, in response to the statement of "Afghanistan today, Taiwan tomorrow", Luo Zhizheng, the party secretary of the DPP "Legislative Yuan", said on the 17th that such a comparison is very inappropriate and nondescript; the KMT would have such a comparison. It reminds people of 1949, "The Kuomintang in the mainland in the past is still more like Afghanistan today."

The Kuomintang immediately replied that the DPP’s imagination is speechless, and it is still indulged in history. It uses biased and misleading historical interpretations to conduct political operations. "It is lamentable that DPP politicians do not pay attention to changes in international relations. For the impact on the safety of the people of Taiwan, they only want to gain political benefits by distorting history."

Former Kuomintang chairman Zhu Lilun said, "Without the Kuomintang in 1949, there would be no Taiwan today." The DPP has time to mock the Kuomintang. It is better to look at itself in 2008. Without the DPP, there would be no political chaos in Taiwan.

　　On the 18th, the Green Camp concentrated fire on Zhu Lilun.

DPP spokesperson Yan Ruofang said that Zhu Lilun said that Taiwan should not return to the "troublemaker" and that "it is completely blind to China's suppression of Taiwan."

"Legislative member" Zheng Yunpeng said that when the Kuomintang was defeated and retreated to Taiwan, "it was Taiwan that gave the Kuomintang a chance to revive, and it should be the Kuomintang that would like to thank Taiwan."

　Tsai Ing-wen's first statement against Afghanistan

　　The United States also jumped out to declare how close the relationship between the United States and Taiwan is.

US President’s National Security Affairs Assistant Sullivan said at a White House press conference on the 17th, “We believe that our commitment to our allies and partners is always sacred and inviolable, and we also believe that our commitment to Taiwan and Israel is as solid as ever.”

He also said that the situation in Afghanistan and Taiwan is not comparable. The United States has dedicated 20 years of blood, tears and resources to Afghanistan, and provided all necessary training and equipment so that they can stand up and fight for themselves. "The United States will always tell Afghanistan at a certain point in time. People, you must stand up to defend yourself".

"Central News Agency" said on the 18th that Sullivan's conversation was interrupted by the media on the spot, and he did not elaborate further.

According to Qi Kaili, a researcher at Stanford University, the United States sent the Seventh Fleet to assist in the defense of Taiwan as early as 1950. The two sides have cooperated in military security for 71 years. In terms of economy, Taiwan is the United States’ tenth largest trading partner, while Afghanistan is Ranked 105th.

　　The DPP authorities seem to have taken "reassurance."

Taiwan’s “Ministry of Foreign Affairs” spokesperson Ou Jiang’an first expressed “heartfelt gratitude” to the United States for reiterating its firm support for Taiwan on the 18th, and then “will unswervingly improve self-defense capabilities and maintain stability in the Taiwan Strait through cooperation between Taiwan, the United States and regional countries. ".

Huang Shijie, deputy secretary-general of the Democratic Progressive Party’s caucus, said that it is because someone deliberately manipulated and affected the “solid friendship” between Taiwan and the United States that the United States had to “significantly declare”.

Taiwan media noticed that Tsai Ing-wen, who has been particularly low-key about the situation in Afghanistan, first expressed his stance on the issue on the 18th.

She said, "Taiwan's only option is to make itself stronger, more united, and more determined to defend itself."

　　"Can you still believe Sullivan's words?" A comment published on the 18th in the China Times Electronic Newspaper stated that when the United States decided to withdraw its troops, it publicly stated that with the assistance of the United States, the Afghan government could resist the Taliban, or at least maintain it for six months. Facts have proved that the United States has either misjudged or deceived the world."

The article said that Taiwan and Afghanistan are indeed different. They have different geographical locations, national cultures, and different challenges. "But if they fully rely on the United States, they are exactly the same." The most important thing is that "For Sullivan, Taiwan must think in the opposite direction." At this moment, besides speaking high-sounding words, can he say publicly that "when necessary, the United States will abandon Taiwan as if it abandons Afghanistan"?

"America is the same America"

　　On the 18th, Zhao Shaokang named Tsai Ing-wen not to hide, and came out to argue with him, looking at the United States from Afghanistan and the two sides of the strait from the United States, and then compare who really loves Taiwan.

He said that the DPP launched a violent attack on him for three consecutive days. "Have I said that Taiwan is Afghanistan?" And the DPP has always paralyzed the people of Taiwan, saying that "The PLA will not attack Taiwan. If the U.S. Come to aid Taiwan", but the lesson from Afghanistan is that the United States is unreliable.

Former "legislator" Sun Daqian said on the 18th that no matter how solid allies are, they will have their own abacus in their hearts. Don't have excessively romantic, naive and unrealistic expectations.

Taipei City Councillor Xu Qiaoxin said that she agreed that Taiwan and Afghanistan are much different in all aspects, but "the United States is the same America."

　　"United Daily News" reminded the DPP on the 18th that Chen Shui-bian received full support from the United States after he came to power in 2000, but Bush later regarded Chen Shui-bian as a "troublemaker" and did not immediately congratulate Chen on his re-election; September 2011 Tsai Ing-wen was affirmed by the United States during his visit to the United States, but soon a senior U.S. official said that Tsai Ing-wen "aroused people's worries about the stability of the Taiwan Strait, and the stability of the Taiwan Strait is very important to the United States."

The article bluntly stated that the key to these two things is "whether the existence of Taiwan is in the interests of the United States".

The U.S. abandoned the DPP twice only because "the DPP does not meet the needs of the United States."

In the future, if the United States turns its strategy again, will Taiwan become a strategic outcast like Afghanistan?

"This is the key question whether Afghanistan can compare with Taiwan."

Columnist Chen Xi said on the 18th that Taiwan is different from Afghanistan, but the same is that "the U.S. army will not sacrifice for an army that is unwilling to fight for itself, whether it is the Afghan army under the wing of the United States or the national army."

If Taiwan does not want to be reduced to "Vietnam yesterday and Afghanistan today", it must be understood as early as possible that "the interests of the United States are not Taiwan's interests, and may even be Taiwan's poison! To misplace Taiwan's interests under US national interests, as long as the United States With a slight change in the definition of interest,'Taiwan tomorrow' will be in a state of unrest."
