China News Agency, Beijing, February 24th: What do the different attitudes of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait towards the Baodao Winter Olympics reflect?
China News Agency reporter Rong Haisheng
The Beijing Winter Olympics have come to an end, but the disputes between the two sides over the evaluation of the Chinese Taipei team players have not stopped.
Regarding the four Chinese Taipei players, including speed skater Huang Yuting, competing in Beijing, a spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council said on the 23rd that they worked hard in the arena, and mainland compatriots cheered for them.
On the other hand, the DPP authorities, on the issue of Huang Yuting, took the dignified public machine bullying as an individual athlete who fought with honor.
Ice and snow athletes from both sides of the Taiwan Strait gathered in Beijing to show their sports style together.
They worked hard and fought bravely in the arena, and they should have won the pride of all Chinese sons and daughters, including compatriots on both sides of the strait.
Just because Huang Yuting posted a photo of a Chinese team uniform on social media earlier, she was attacked and criticized by public opinion on the island. Green camp bosses and political talk show celebrities did their best to humiliate her, and some people even encouraged her to withdraw from the Winter Olympics. arena.
The bullying did not even stop because of the end of the Winter Olympics. Su Zhenchang, the "President of the Executive Yuan" of the DPP authorities, recently proposed to investigate and punish her; the so-called opinion leaders are still "chasing and killing" on the message platform.
The public opinion field on the island is also not monolithic.
The people of justice firmly expressed their support for Huang Yuting, and rebuked the DPP authorities for the "very unreasonable" killing of Huang Yuting.
Some media commented bluntly, if Huang Yuting was wearing a team uniform from the United States or other countries, would there still be such a disturbance?
This question, which many green campers cannot face directly, actually reflects the two logical lines of the DPP authorities in handling cross-strait affairs.
One is "pro-US and anti-China", splitting and seeking "independence".
Since taking office in 2016, especially in the context of rising competition between China and the United States, the DPP authorities seem to see hope, "relying on the United States to seek independence", attacking the mainland, and pandering to "Western values", thinking that it can expand the so-called "international" space".
The second is sensitive and afraid, and the shadow of the bow and snake.
The situation in the Taiwan Strait has been severe and complicated in recent years. The DPP authorities have engaged in "green terror", and the atmosphere on the island has been chilling. Behind this is the need for political manipulation on the one hand, and the unwillingness to look directly at the development achievements of the mainland on the other hand.
In this Winter Olympics, the "careful thinking" of the DPP authorities has never been used to pay attention to sports performance and promote ice and snow sports. , smear Gu Ailing, Zhu Yi and other athletes who have grown up in the United States... All these can only expose their hysteria of "every China will rebel".
Huang Yuting's performance at the Beijing Winter Olympics failed to meet expectations. The coach admitted frankly that the pre-match turmoil in her representative uniform seriously disturbed her mood, and it was rumored that she would retire after the Winter Olympics.
How helpless the athletes, four years of hard work was wasted due to political manipulation.
Such a heavy blow is not the first, nor will it be the end. The DPP authorities reap the political benefits, but it is the ordinary people in Taiwan who suffer the bitter consequences.
