Taiwan Patriotic Organizations Jointly Oppose McCarthy's Going to Taiwan to Create Taiwan Strait Crisis

　　China Daily, January 31 (Reporter Zhang Yi) The "Cross-Strait Peaceful Development Forum" composed of more than 20 patriotic parties and groups on the island, including the Taiwan Labor Party and the United Alliance Party, issued a statement on the 30th, opposing the new US House of Representatives Speaker McCarthy's visit to Taiwan. Taiwan creates a crisis across the Taiwan Strait and calls for a ray of possibility for peace across the Taiwan Strait.

　　According to media reports, McCarthy will flee to Taiwan in April. Regarding this, the "Cross-strait Peace and Development Forum" issued a statement titled "Oppose McCarthy to Taiwan, resolve the crisis and save the people themselves", saying that if McCarthy really came to Taiwan, the mainland would be destroyed. If China is forced to adopt more intense and direct countermeasures, then the fifth Taiwan Strait crisis may detonate.

　　The statement stated that Pelosi's visit to Taiwan last year did not bring any benefits to the people of Taiwan at all, but instead brought turmoil and unrest to Taiwan.

At that time, China’s military exercises encircled Taiwan from six directions. For the first time, the People’s Liberation Army entered Taiwan’s 24 nautical mile coastline. For the first time, conventional missiles passed through Taiwan. For the first time, a shooting range was set up in the east of Taiwan. Warships on both sides of the Taiwan Strait confronted each other in the sea off Kaohsiung. Less than 200 meters.

Affected by the countermeasures of the military exercise, a total of 18 civil aviation air routes were affected, and hundreds of flights had to be detoured.

After the end of the exercise, both sides of the Taiwan Strait are fighting fiercely and the military tension has become normalized so far.

　　However, the negative consequences of the tense cross-strait relations caused by Pelosi's visit to Taiwan are entirely borne by the people of Taiwan. The semiconductor chip cooperation between Taiwan and China led TSMC to go to the United States to set up a 5nm advanced process fab in December of that year, and a large number of Taiwan's top engineers and their families moved to the United States, seriously causing hidden dangers to the healthy development of Taiwan's industry.

In addition to causing military turmoil in the Taiwan Strait, Pelosi's visit to Taiwan even further hollowed out Taiwan.

　　The "Cross-Strait Peaceful Development Forum" pointed out in the statement that McCarthy claimed to be the leader of the anti-China members of the US Congress. The gesture of "resisting China" is defrauding votes and political capital in the United States.

At that time, it is not impossible for McCarthy to lobby Taiwan for American arms dealers and ask Taiwan to buy more expensive American arms.

For personal political interests, McCarthy did not hesitate to sacrifice Taiwan and create another Taiwan Strait crisis.

Some media quoted military experts as saying that the mainland's countermeasures will be "more comprehensive and shocking". At that time, the corresponding violent military actions on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and by all parties may cause misfires if they are not careful.

　　The statement pointed out that whether it is Pelosi or McCarthy, coming to Taiwan to put on a show will do nothing but harm to the people of Taiwan, and will only add fuel to the already highly tense situation across the Taiwan Strait.

Last year, nearly two-thirds of Taiwanese people did not welcome Pelosi to come to Taiwan to make a show. However, neither the ruling Democratic Progressive Party nor the opposition Kuomintang dared to directly reject American politicians to come to Taiwan.

The "Cross-strait Peaceful Development Forum" solemnly appeals that Taiwan should not be a pawn of the United States, nor should it be used as a tool for US politicians to build momentum.

　　The statement stated that the separation of the two sides of the strait is a historical issue left over from the civil war of the last century. It is China's internal affairs to end the hostile relationship between the two sides of the strait and complete national reunification.

In the face of the extraordinary moment of war and danger, it is the common interests and responsibility of compatriots on both sides of the strait to save peace and resolve the imminent crisis.

For this reason, the "Cross-Straits Peace and Development Forum" launched joint signatures across Taiwan to awaken the crisis awareness of the Taiwanese people, gather strong dissatisfaction with the pressure of public opinion, and strongly oppose McCarthy's coming to Taiwan to create a crisis across the Taiwan Strait, in order to strive for a chance of peace across the Taiwan Strait.
