Reaction to Taiwan presidential election results
Looking at the tone of Chinese commentary, there are some that simply report the facts about the results of the Taiwanese election, and some that express dissatisfaction with Japan's congratulations to the winner of the Taiwanese presidential election, but overall they are not widely covered. The reason I don't think he is there is probably because Xi Jinping's state of mind is immeasurable. Xinhua News Agency introduced statements by Chen Binhua, a spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, which is in charge of Taiwan policy in China.
Statement from the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council of China
“The results of these two elections in Taiwan show that the Democratic Progressive Party does not represent mainstream public opinion in Taiwan.Taiwan is China's Taiwan.This election reflects the basic pattern of cross-strait relations. The direction of development cannot be changed, the compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait cannot change the common desire to become closer and closer, and the general tendency for the motherland to ultimately maintain relations between the two countries You can't stop it. It will be unified, and it will inevitably be unified."
Read it together
Democratic Progressive Party Lai Qingtoku wins Taiwan presidential election | If pro - China forces win, the Taiwan Strait will become China's property.
With the Democratic Progressive Party's victory, how does President Xi Jinping view the results in China? The result was an overwhelming victory for Taiwan's independence force, the Democratic Progressive Party. Looking at the Taiwanese parliament, the Kuomintang has made a comeback, giving the impression that the Taiwanese people have given orders to the Democratic Progressive Party when it comes to domestic policy. The Kuomintang has 52 seats, the Democratic Party has 51, and the People's Party has 8. The Taiwanese people are no longer pro-China as a national polity, and perhaps because they have doubts about domestic politics, looking at the number of seats, it seems likely that the People's Party will hold the casting board when it comes to legislation.
In the first place, the victory of the pro-independence Democratic Party in the presidential election can be said to be a major achievement. The Taiwanese People's Party was viewed as a force that could divide votes. The Democratic People's Party's position is that it maintains peace through dialogue with both China and the United States, but to be clear, the Taiwan issue is not connected to the US-China conflict, but is rather an issue within the US-China conflict. The reality is that Taiwan exists in China, and on the other hand, I don't think Taiwan can act as a bridge between China and the United States.
Looking at the theme of war from a different perspective, this election was a fight between the Kuomintang and the People's Party to avoid war, and the Democratic Party to protect democracy even in the event of war. This is probably the correct answer. It is said that the decisions of young people will have a large impact on the outcome of this election, just like the last one, and the voting age will be lowered to 18 in 2023. Taking note of this, the Chinese Communist Party has been threatening you, saying that in the event of war, you, the young people, will be the ones who die.
The focus of this election was on what kind of decisions young people would make amidst this intimidation and coaxing. The Democratic Progressive Party's theme was ``choosing between dictatorship and democracy.'' As a result, table splitting fails in the opposite direction. If the theme is war, if you add up the factions that advocated war avoidance, that side will be the majority. Of course, the issue of China was not the only theme in the presidential election, but in the end, the Democratic Progressive Party won, with the votes split among those calling for war avoidance and reconciliation with China.
It goes without saying that Japan would prefer a victory for the Democratic Party. I have nothing but doubts about the Japanese media, which has not shown much interest in the Taiwanese election even though it says that the Taiwanese emergency is a Japanese emergency. A lieutenant general from a Chinese military think tank recently said that the Senkaku Islands are also on the horizon for an invasion of Taiwan, and if the pro-China faction wins the election, China will control the Taiwan Strait, an area through which oil tankers, Japan's lifeline, pass. This is because it suppresses the If that happens, Japan will continue to be threatened by China semi-permanently.
"Our position on resolving the Taiwan issue and achieving national reunification is consistent and our will is unwavering. We will firmly uphold the １９９２ Consensus, which embodies the principle of one China. , resolutely opposes secessionist actions for "Taiwan independence" and interference by outside forces, and cooperates with relevant Taiwanese political parties, organizations, and people from all walks of life to promote mutual exchange. - Deepen cross-Strait exchanges and cooperation, deepen cross-Strait integrated development, jointly promote Chinese culture, promote the peaceful development of cross-Strait relations, and promote the great cause of national reunification. ”
Does an authoritarian state refer to the will of the people?
This is the same spokesperson who said last year that ``Taiwan independence would mean war.'' Judging from this statement, the contents of this time are just long-winded, there is no change, and there is nothing new. Both one tone and two tone look lowered. Even if you claim that you do not represent mainstream public opinion, isn't your country a dictatorship with no regard for public opinion or the will of the people? President Xi Jinping was probably not chosen by the will of the people. China seems unable to hide its turmoil.

What do the People's Liberation Army think of U.S. aircraft carriers and landing attack ships?
Since the inauguration of the Biden administration, the U.S. has not only put pressure on China to restrict support for Chinese companies, but has also frequently dispatched military aircraft and warships to China to provoke them.
According to the Global Times, the U.S. has deployed the aircraft carrier Carl Vinson, the landing attack ship Esax, and the U.S. landing attack ship U.S.aircraft carriers Lincoln and Reagan.The Ohio-class strategic nuclear submarine Nevada also made an unusual appearance at a U.S. naval base in Guam.
It is unusual for the U.S. to deploy so much military force around China, giving the impression of dignity.Professor Wei Jung-woo of the Center for American Research at Fudan University said in an interview, "The U.S. is sending strategic nuclear submarines and aircraft carrier warships to the Indo-Pacific region to demonstrate its "power" and exercise military deterrence."
The U.S. is not the only military power in the world, but the U.S. is wrong in targeting China.Defense Ministry spokesman Oh Gyeom explained at a regular briefing on January 27 that the PLA's military training in 2022, emphasizing the need to strengthen military training and strengthen enemy suppression training and maintain full-time standby.We will accelerate the integration of training and practice so that we can fight at any time."
The behind-the-scenes stories of "the front line of military struggle" and "fight the enemy and train " are clear.The Global Times quoted an analyst as saying, "There have been experts so far."Despite the fact that the PLA took advantage of the opportunity to train against foreign troops, many netizens still regard it as "respectful."However, it has been confirmed that the Liberation Army is "using foreign troops to train."The U.S. did not expect such provocations around China to be the best training partner for the Liberation Army.This is to make up for the lack of combat experience.The U.S. is really shooting itself in the leg.
It seems that the U.S. military is a practical training partner for the People's Liberation Army's lack of practical experience.I don't understand what it means.
Japan that supported the Xinhai Revolution, Japan that protected the Last Emperor, and China that followed the West.
China's history is 72 years
Xinhai Revolution was carried out with support from Japan
The Last Emperor who sent donations for the Great Kanto Earthquake
Japan protected the exiled Puyi
Did China follow Sun Yat-sen's will
It is said that China has a history of 4,000 years, but that would be wrong. The People's Republic of China was established in 1949, so it is now 72 years old. At least since the founding of the Republic of China, it has been China, and Xi Jinping said at the 110th anniversary commemoration of the Xinhai Revolution that it is the People's Republic of China that will inherit Sun Yat-sen's will, but it is still 110 years old.
It is correct to say that human history has existed in what is now China for 4,000 years. Mainland China is an area where different ethnic groups founded various countries and then disappeared.
Sun Yat-sen was a person who learned about Japanese society and the Meiji Restoration when he defected to Japan, and succeeded in the Xinhai Revolution. They were supported by Japan's Takeshi Inukai and Toten Miyazaki. Sun Yat-sen said, ``Japan's Restoration was the cause of the Chinese Revolution, and the Chinese Revolution was the result of Japan's Restoration,'' and ``The two were originally connected to achieve the restoration of East Asia.''
In that case, wouldn't it be Sun Yat-sen and his supporters from Japan that created the current China?
It was Japan that supported the Xinhai Revolution, and Sun Yat-sen also inherited Japan's hopes for the restoration of East Asia.
Aixinjue Luo Puyi was the last emperor of China, the Xuantong Emperor, and is the so-called Last Emperor. After the Xinhai Revolution, Puyi made living in the Forbidden City a condition of his abdication. When Japan was struck by the Great Kanto Earthquake, Puyi announced that he would send donations to Japan, including a large amount of jewelry from within the Forbidden City.
Afterwards, the Beijing Coup occurred and Puyi was expelled from the Forbidden City, but Japan protected him. He approached Kenkichi Yoshizawa for protection through donations. Puyi was then protected by the Japanese concession of Tianjin.
After Japan's Kwantung Army conquered the Manchuria region, Puyi became the first emperor of Manchukuo. Although Manchukuo existed as a puppet government of Japan, Puyi lived as emperor again until the Soviet Union entered the war.
When thinking about who inherited Sun Yat-sen's will, it is not the People's Republic of China, assuming Sun Yat-sen's words, ``The two are originally connected as one and will achieve the restoration of East Asia.'' That's clear. The Chinese Communist Party is an anti-Japanese force, and current China is an anti-Japanese nation.
And even though China is in Asia, has it not sided with the West in its efforts to colonize Asia?
China sided with the West in World War II. The Potsdam Declaration was jointly signed by the United States, Britain, and China.
Can China's encirclement aim to divide China? - Cut off tax revenue for the increasingly obese Chinese Communist Party.
What is the population of China
Revival of the issue of national self-determination
Can China's autonomous regions become independent
China creates its own concept of ethnicity and promotes Hanization policy
The Uighur issue spreads to other autonomous regions
China became a Jain nation
China's weakness is its large territory
If Japan, the US, and Europe do not create a network of encirclement of China and seal it off, it will be a disaster
China is said to have a population of 1.4 billion, but the actual population is around 90 million. 90 million people is the number of Communist Party members. Isn't it possible to think of the other 1.3 billion people as workers ruled by the Chinese Communist Party, rather than citizens, assuming democratic values?
The definition of the right to national self-determination has once again become a theme. Russia's invasion of Ukraine also uses this idea as a shield. Going back in time, the Nazis also began invading neighboring countries under the pretext of protecting Germans. On the other hand, it also functioned as the right of Asian countries to become independent from colonial rule, and under international law, independence from colonial rule was an exercise of the legitimate right to self-determination.
China has various autonomous regions, all of which are inhabited by different ethnic groups. Uighur, Tibet, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, etc. During a question session in the Japanese Diet about the right to self-determination for the Uyghur Autonomous Region, former Prime Minister Koizumi was ambiguous as to whether the right to self-determination advocated by the United Nations included the right to independence (within a non-colonial state). It cites examples such as the UN's adoption of Palestine's right to independence.
In other words, since this is what China is afraid of, it is eager to implement the Hanification policy. Han people have no relation to bloodline, and have established their own ethnic definition that if you accept Chinese style, culture, and customs, you are a Han ethnic group. On top of that, it is said that they are forcibly brainwashing the Uyghurs, calling them educational facilities.
If the Uighurs were to take up arms and exercise their right to self-determination and start a war of independence, international public opinion would once again be influenced by the United Nations' definition of the right to self-determination. Depending on the outcome, there is a strong possibility that this will spread to Tibet, Inner Mongolia, Zhuang, and other areas. If you add the population of China's autonomous regions, it will be about 100 million people. However, this ethnic area is also an important resource area for China. What would happen if they left? Taiwan is difficult here. It is difficult to say that Taiwan is a separate ethnic group from China.
At the same time, China is causing border problems in all directions. You can do whatever you want in the Spratly Islands. However, the other side of the coin is that China is completely surrounded by surrounding countries and regions that are frustrated with the Chinese Communist Party. The only reason why the surrounding areas are in suspense is because of the threat of China's 1.4 billion people. No. China has 90 million people. What would happen if you thought about it?.
China's military would be weakened if it was dispersed over a wide area. What would happen if other surrounding areas also started border disputes in the event of a Taiwanese emergency? Taiwan is no fun if it only defends Taiwan. Taiwan should take control of Fujian Province. This is to create a buffer zone. The Spratly Islands should be controlled together with the Philippines and Vietnam. Then, they should conquer Yunnan Province and liberate the Zhuang Autonomous Region. This is to create a buffer zone. India will control Kashmir. And we should take control of Sichuan Province. What will happen if Uighurs and Tibet go into a war of independence?
I would like Japan to work with the United States to engage in strategic diplomacy to seriously create a network of encirclement of China. The Chinese Communist Party is a monster that controls 1.3 billion people and siphons off tax revenue. The country receives 13 times more tax revenue than a country with 100 million people and 26 times more than a country with 50 million people, making it bloated. Where in the world is there a political party with 90 million people?
They simply refer to their area of control as a nation; they call it internal affairs. If a conflict were to start in all directions in the surrounding areas, the 1.3 billion people would have no independence in the first place and would be scattered and rendered powerless. The only way to seal this monster away is to divide the country and cut off tax revenue.
China's strategy for archipelago warfare.upside - down map reveals one's ambition to enter the Pacific Ocean
This is a map of the archipelago line from China.From China's point of view, the First Archipelago Line is designed to contain China in the ocean.The presence of American troops in Okinawa is also an important point.China cannot break through the line without the understanding of other countries, and on the contrary, it is said that U.S. nuclear submarines can easily cross the first archipelago line into Chinese territorial waters.
Now China is trying to make all the inside of the First Archipelago Line belong to China.That's Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, and the Nansha Islands .The second archipelago line runs all the way to Guam.In recent years, many Chinese ships have been seen in Japan's Ogasawara Islands.The Ogasawara Islands are located almost on the second archipelago line from the Japanese archipelago to Guam.
The Third Archipelago Line leads to Hawaii .The U.S. military has already sealed China close to China, but China aims to acquire Taiwan and the Senkaku Islands, reach the second and third islands, and eventually acquire Hawaii.If China takes over Hawaii, it will be able to attack the U.S. mainland based there.
If Taiwan is recognized by the state and Japan and Taiwan are included in the alliance, the South China Sea will be covered from the north, while China will not be able to enter the Pacific Ocean.In other words, the QUAD and Taiwan policies advocated by former Prime Minister Abe are correct .In QUAD, it would be even stronger if the Philippines, Malaysia, and Vietnam could be introduced from Australia and India across the sea.Collaboration between Japan, the United States and Taiwan will also be able to function as part of this.
Don't let China go to the Pacific Ocean.Japan is in danger of Chinese ships and submarines from all directions.
Korea has the largest ODA per population.China Appreciates Japan's Economic Aid
According to Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, ODA to China totaled about 3.9 trillion yen from 1979 to 2016.More than 60% of China's foreign aid is from Japan.Shanghai Pudong International Airport, Beijing Capital International Airport, Lanzhou, Wuhan, and Xi'an airports were also built with Japanese aid.In addition, 5,200 kilometers of railways, Beijing sewage treatment plants, Sino-Japanese Friendship Hospital, Beijing Subway, Chongqing Railway, and major ports have been built and expanded.
Since the 2000s, JICA has been training more than 15,000 managers and HIDA has been training more than 22,000.Former General Secretary Deng Xiaoping and former General Secretary Hu Jintao officially thanked each other.Recently, Deputy Spokesman Hua Chunying thanked Japan, saying, "Japan's ODA has contributed greatly to China's reform and opening-up and economic development," adding, "We will discuss new cooperative relations with Japan."
Although there are territorial issues in Sino-Japanese relations, the Chinese government officially acknowledges that Japan has contributed greatly to China's development.
The amount of ODA to South Korea is 650.2 billion yen, but the total value of $500 million, including free financial cooperation and private cooperation, is said to be 2-3 trillion yen.Compared to China, South Korea has the most aid in terms of ODA costs per population.
Japan apologized to South Korea several times during the annexation of South Korea and Japan, but South Korea did not remember.I don't think Japan remembers being thanked by South Korea, but this is more true.On the contrary, after the end of ODA program for South Korea in 1990, the problem of recruiting workers and Japanese Military comfort woman grew.Is it just my imagination that they seem to have started after end of ODA.
Since the end of ODA to South Korea, the anti-Japanese movement in South Korea has become popular.Is this a coincidence?
