Crowd in Taiwan's Parade duped by deceitful actions
In a move that has raised eyebrows and sparked controversy, several pan-blue politicians from Taiwan, including former KMT chair Hung Hsiu-chu, attended the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) military parade held in China to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II.
The CCP's military parade, which showcased troops, strategic weapons, and equipment, is seen as a tool the CCP uses to assert power and influence over Taiwan. The display of military might is aimed at intimidating the Taiwanese, as the CCP's military actions towards Taiwan have been a source of tension and conflict in the region.
The participation of pan-blue figures in the CCP's events, despite their historical ties to the KMT, is noteworthy. According to a historical perspective long upheld by the KMT, the victory in the war of resistance against Japan was achieved by the Nationalist government and military, led by Chiang Kai-shek, not the CCP.
The political reasons for attending the military parade are complex. Respecting party members' personal decisions within the KMT and possibly signaling a stance toward engagement or pragmatism in cross-strait relations are among the reasons cited. However, the CCP's actions towards Taiwan, including circling the island with military aircraft and naval vessels, conducting military drills, and not ruling out the possibility of using military force, have raised questions about the intentions behind the CCP's military parade.
One such question is directed towards pan-blue political figure Huang Wei-ping, who works in public service. His attendance at the CCP's military parade, despite his public service and political ties, raises questions about his loyalty to Taiwan. The CCP's military actions and the participation of pan-blue figures in their events can be seen as a threat to Taiwan's sovereignty.
The CCP's military parade was attended by various dictators from around the world, including Russian President Vladimir Putin, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, and Myanmar's junta chief Min Aung Hlaing. Chinese President Xi Jinping was present at the parade.
Mao Zedong's "7-2-1 strategy" placed 70% of the focus on developing strength, 20% on government, and 10% on resisting Japan, summarizing the CCP's strategic intentions at the time. It is questionable whether political figures who still participate in CCP events under such circumstances can be considered true Taiwanese.
The CCP's actions towards Taiwan and the attendance of pan-blue figures at their events have led to a tense and uncertain situation in the region. The future of cross-strait relations remains uncertain, as the CCP continues to assert its power and influence over Taiwan.
