China News Service, Taipei, August 7th. After the US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan, the mainland's countermeasures have intensified the impact on the island's economy, causing criticism and doubts from all walks of life on the island about the DPP authorities' insistence on manipulating the situation on both sides of the strait. .
Some people criticized the DPP authorities for being overly self-sufficient, and some people said that they "need a ruler who can dialogue with the mainland".
According to reports from Taiwan media such as Central News Agency, China Time News, and United News, Su Qi, chairman of the Taipei Forum Foundation, analyzed that this time Pelosi went to Taiwan, Taiwan is not "innocent".
The DPP authorities spend a lot of money lobbying American politicians every year, and they can always find various reasons to invite them to visit.
Taiwanese media personality Tang Xianglong pointed out in his political talk show that "the backside of American politicians coming to Taiwan is money".
He said that with Pelosi and the DPP, "one earns enough money, and the other earns enough votes."
But the people of Taiwan have to pay for it. Can the people still count on the DPP authorities to help solve it?
After Pelosi went to Taiwan, the mainland urgently stopped the export of natural sand to Taiwan, as well as the import of Taiwan's citrus fruits, chilled white hairtail, and frozen horse mackerel.
These measures are very distressing for the affected Taiwanese industry players.
Some Taiwanese fruit exporters have been angry and criticized. The DPP authorities have made cross-strait relations like this, not only "killing" the exporters, but also hurting the farmers.
Hong Xinhe, executive director of the Yilan County Longline Fisheries Association, complained that the DPP authorities were "grass moths playing with the rooster" (a grasshopper teasing a rooster, a metaphor for being self-aware and blindly provocative), and making suggestions to the authorities is like "barking a train" , was not adopted, "has lost confidence and patience with this ruling authority".
Pingtung literature and history worker Huang Yingming wrote to the United News Network, saying that after Pelosi came to power, the Taiwanese people paid the price of banning many products and counteracting military exercises by the mainland, but the Tsai Ing-wen authorities only cared about "self-healing". Self-proclaimed "anti-China Baotai", busy manipulating populism again before the "nine-in-one" election at the end of the year.
Liu Zongxia, a financial analyst in Taipei, said that Pelosi's visit forced the Taiwanese people to face the reality that "the United States cannot help Taiwan solve the problem."
The current level of tension between the two sides of the strait has risen to such an extent that the two sides have lost communication channels after the DPP came to power.
"What the people of Taiwan need is a ruler who can talk to the mainland," he shouted.
"China Times" commented that Tsai Ing-wen authorities "wanted to welcome" Pelosi, first "ambiguously" silenced, withdrew the invitation, and then "beat gongs and drums" to welcome, harvesting election dividends, but stirring up sensitive nerves on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, bitter the people to bear the crisis.
Facing the waves of countermeasures imposed by the mainland on Taiwan, does the Tsai Ing-wen authorities have a way to respond?
The "Business Times" editorial pointed out that Pelosi came to Taiwan in exchange for a crisis, the island's industrial circles were in chaos, and the public was restless.
Although the rulers consoled themselves with "Taiwan's stock and foreign exchange market showing strong resilience", they could not hide the fact that "both face and heart are lost".
The article questioned the DPP authorities, "Is it worth it to wear your wife and break the army?" (End)
