“The Democratic Progressive Party [DPP] authorities are deliberately hyping up the so-called 'military threat from the mainland' and exaggerating tensions. This is entirely to seek electoral gain.”

“I must shoulder all the responsibility. Faced with a result like this, there are many areas that we must deeply review. The results failed our expectations. We humbly accept the results and accept the Taiwanese people's decision. It's not like the DPP [Democratic Progressive Party] has never failed before. We don't have time to feel sorry. We fell, but we will stand up again.”

“While campaigning, the KMT framed the referendum as not simply a vote on these four issues, but as a referendum on the Tsai administration as a whole. Likewise, with midterm elections set to take place next year, the referendum would be perceived as a midterm for the midterm, in some sense, in that the referendum would be read as indicating the strength or weakness of support for the DPP [Democratic Progressive Party] going into future elections.”

“Not only it is impossible for the DPP [Democratic Progressive Party] to act as a one-party state in a democratic Taiwan, but using state resources to implement and defend its own policies - having been elected in a landslide election - is exactly what a government is supposed to do in a democracy.”

“Given the current tense cross-Straits relations and the US' increasing hyping-up of the Taiwan question, Nicaragua's decision to sever ties with Taiwan strikes a blow to the Democratic Progressive Party's secessionist moves of seeking international recognition. It is also a blow to the US because it is using all means, including threats and coercive measures, to help the island of Taiwan maintain diplomatic relations. Cutting ties with the island is the right choice that fits the international order and historical trend.”

“It is inappropriate for China to link legal matters with politics. The episode could be worrisome for Taiwanese businesspeople. Far Eastern has made donations to not only the DPP, but also to the KMT [Kuomintang] and other parties. This is what it has to do, but it doesn't necessarily mean it supports Taiwanese independence.”

“The US wants to strike a balance, as it does not want to offend the Chinese mainland too much, but at the same time, it wants to show it will not stop playing 'the Taiwan card.' This includes calling the entities it invited 'participants' rather than 'countries.' The excitement of Taiwan secessionists over the invitation reflects the Taiwan DPP [Democratic Progressive Party] authority's difficult international situation.”

“The EP delegation's visit is only symbolic to show support. As discontent toward the DPP [ Democratic Progressive Party] authority mounts on the island of Taiwan, Tsai [Tsai Ing-wen] is trying to create an anti-mainland atmosphere once again, passing its public policy failure to a political obstacle set by others.”

“A fundamental danger is that the political conflicts across the Taiwan Straits are intensifying with no sign of easing. The DPP [Democratic Progressive Party] authority is opposed to reunification and is seeking 'independence.' The strategic hostility of the US toward the Chinese mainland continues to rise. No matter how to evaluate a war, predictions that a war will eventually occur due to irreconcilable political conflicts or miscalculation are growing among the three sides [China - Taiwan - US].”

“Peaceful reunification would likely result from applying enough pressure to make the DPP [Democratic Progressive Party] leadership believe it had no choice but to surrender. Personally, I believe there is still a chance for peaceful reunification, but it must be based on the condition that the DPP authority feels cornered and will perish if they do not accept reunification.”

“The DPP [Democratic Progressive Party] should accept responsibility for power outages on May 13 and 17, and July 27. The outages tested the confidence of Taiwanese enterprises and inconvenienced the public. The government's dependence on coal-fired power plants has harmed public health and taken the nation further from the international effort to fight climate change. The government did not improve the economy, livelihoods or environmental sustainability - failures for which any politician except Su [Taiwan Premier - Su Tseng-chang] would have resigned. The public knows how little credibility Su has to cast aspersions.”

“The Taiwan Straits situation is getting worse because the US and the Taiwan secessionist DPP [Democratic Progressive Party] authority controlled by the US are provoking, and this will definitely receive retaliation from the Chinese mainland…the US will keep playing 'the Taiwan card' and support the authority on the island to expand its 'international influence'. Although the US treats China as its major strategic competitor, the two sides should at least try to avoid the worst-case scenario, to improve crisis management.”

“The problem now is: The DPP [Democratic Progressive Party] authorities who dare not fight have now taken a long-term arrogant posture. They are gradually turning themselves into a political nail that the rising mainland must pull out. They claim they are at the forefront of the democracies to confront the mainland and are trying to serve as an outpost in the US' Indo-Pacific Strategy to contain China. They have also openly rejected the one China principle. Even their master, the US, has kept reiterating its commitment to the one-China principle, despite leaving some leeway to interpret the one China concept.”

“This is the true situation of the Taiwan Straits: First, the mainland doesn't want to fight a war. It has the goodwill to seek peaceful reunification and take war as the last resort. Second, the DPP [Democratic Progressive Party] dares not fight. They are bluffing, but know very well that the island's military forces are weak. They cannot withstand even a single blow. If there is a war, Taiwan will be surely defeated and collapse. Third, the US cannot fight. Should it not go into a war there, the Taiwan Straits will be Washington's leverage to contain the mainland. Otherwise, the Straits will become the grave of American soldiers. The US will suffer heavy losses instead of making gains.”

“Picturing Taiwan as the front of the Western democratic and free world against the expansion of authoritarian in order to win the support and sympathy of the international community is a complete provocation. If the DPP [Democratic Progressive Party] authority continues such provocative acts, the mainland will have no choice but take it to the battlefield.”

“Pro-DPP [Democratic Progressive Party] supporters appeared unperturbed by Biden, while those leaning centre or right towards the KMT were more sceptical of the US president's intentions towards Taiwan. They think that Biden's 'Taiwan agreement' is another evidence that Taiwan is just a chess piece on the chessboard, indicating that Taiwan has no say in its own future since the agreement is merely made between Xi and Biden. Moreover, Biden mentioned that his talk with Xi happened last month, but Taiwanese people all witnessed the sharp increase of incursions this week. So, it seems that the talk has no, if not negative, impact on the stability of the Taiwan Strait.”

“Some people on the island of Taiwan hype that the island is different from Afghanistan, and that the US wouldn't leave them alone. Indeed, the island is different from Afghanistan. But the difference is the deeper hopelessness of a US victory if it gets itself involved in a cross-Straits war. Such a war would mean unthinkable costs for the US, in front of which the so-called special importance of Taiwan is nothing but wishful thinking of the DPP [Democratic Progressive Party] authorities and secessionist forces on the island. In the past two decades, the Kabul government cost over 2,000 US soldiers, $2 trillion, and the majesty of the US against the 'bandits.' But how many lives of US troops and how many dollars would the US sacrifice for the island of Taiwan? After all, the US acknowledges that 'there is but one China and that Taiwan is part of China.' Will the US get more moral support from within and from the West if it fights for the secession of Taiwan than it did during the Afghan War?”

“Since the DPP [Democratic Progressive Party] gained power in 2016, it has always insisted on a Taiwan secessionist stance, and refused to admit that both the mainland and Taiwan belong to the same China, so the political basis for Taiwan to attend the WHA [World Health Assembly] no longer exists.”

“The two sides of the Strait need to restore or rebuild a common political foundation. Recognition of the 'consensus' [1992 consensus] would be necessary for Tsai to realize her campaign promise of maintaining the 'status quo' in cross-strait relations. Tsai [Tsai Ing-wen] and the DPP [Democratic Progressive Party] have tarnished the 1992 consensus by equating it with the 'one country, two systems' framework. The Republic of China Constitution does not allow for two Chinas, or one China and one Taiwan. If Tsai would clearly affirm this there could be room for cross-strait dialogue.”
