With the U.S. election finalized and the Wuhan pneumonia (Chinese Communist virus) Epidemic continuing, the global political and economic situation is changing and the world order is about to be reorganized. How can Taiwan avoid bad luck and create a new situation? Experts say that the international Anti-Communist movement is very strong, and Taiwan can continue to break new ground by standing firm against it.
The Republic of China Association for Free Communications held a lecture at National Taiwan University on January 31. The host, Wu Huilin, a special researcher at the Chinese Academy of Economic Research, said that the sudden arrival of Wuhan pneumonia (the Chinese Communist virus) has made all of humanity miserable and miserable.
“Even if the virus is brought under control one day, our lives will not be able to return to the status quo ante.” Wu Huilin said it has been noted that for many years to come everyone will save more, spend less and avoid many forms of communication that gather large crowds, and that restarting commerce does not mean consumers will flock to stores in large numbers to compensate for the reduced spending. “Many of the production losses associated with the plague are permanent, and many of the jobs lost will never be returned.”
How will the world respond in the wake of the plague? He said that the organizers invited four renowned experts, including current affairs commentator Dr. Wang Hao, senior government officials in the presidential office, chairman of the Taiwan Asia Exchange Foundation, Professor Emeritus Ming Juzheng of the Department of Political Science at National Taiwan University, and Chairman of Caixin Media Group, Hsieh Chin Ho, to discuss how Taiwan can avoid bad luck and thus open up new ways of doing things.
Wang Hao: Taiwan plays a “benchmark” and “bridgehead” role in the free world against Chinese Communist hegemony
Wang Hao, a law graduate of Peking University and doctor of international relations at St. Anthony’s College, Oxford University, said, “The struggle between the U.S. and China is the core issue of global international relations, which affects all aspects of our lives. The U.S. and China are not just a geopolitical struggle for hegemony, but also a struggle for values and civilization.”
He believes that the new U.S.-China Cold War will continue after Biden takes power, and that the core of the U.S.-China war for technological hegemony is the semiconductor industry. “Taiwan must fully realize that it is in a critical position, because Taiwan’s semiconductors are an important part of the global technology supply chain.
Wang Hao pointed out that Taiwan plays a “benchmark” and “bridgehead” role in the free world against the hegemony of the Chinese Communist Party. In other words, in the struggle between the civilizational values of the free world and the dictatorial values of the Chinese Communist Party, Taiwan is clearly pushed into the first island chain, “which is not only geopolitical but also the first island chain of civilizational values.”
“Taiwan has successfully fused the civilizations of the East and the West,” he pointed out, having moved to Taiwan for five years to travel throughout the country, that there are various religions in Taiwan, and they all coexist peacefully and have room to play their respective roles, which is a phenomenon unparalleled in the world.
He also pointed out the difference between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait regarding The prevention of the Chinese Communist virus (Wuhan pneumonia), as the Chinese Communist Party took the closure of cities throughout Wuhan as an extreme practice, while Taiwan’s successful prevention of the disease found a balance between the protection of human rights and the rule of science.
Wang Hao appreciated that during the epidemic prevention process, it was evident that Taiwanese people were united in their love for the country and the island, and at the same Time showed universal concern for the global epidemic (donating masks and medical supplies to help the international community fight the virus), which is worth learning from Taiwan.
“Taiwan has successful experiences in both the global technology industry chain, experience in epidemic prevention and democratic political transformation, and social development models.” Wang Hao said the ROC government should actively participate in, and even lead, the global debate on universal values, social development models, and the free world’s confrontation with the Chinese Communist Party. He also called on “Taiwan to rise up and play a leading role in saving the development of all mankind under the reorganization of the global order.
Hsiao Hsin-huang: Taiwanese should not have illusions about the Chinese Communist Party, and Taiwan is on the side of the United States
Taiwan Asia Exchange Foundation Chairman Hsiao Hsin-huang stressed that Taiwan should have a clear understanding of the position of the Chinese Communist Party, which has a basic strategy to eliminate the Republic of China and annex Taiwan, and Taiwanese people should not have any illusions about the Chinese Communist Party.
Xiao Xinhuang stressed that from the past history of the Communist Party’s struggle in mainland China, and from the Chinese Communist Party’s promise to Tibet and its broken promise, and then the Chinese Communist Party’s suppression of Hong Kong people’s broken promise of one country, two systems, “have repeatedly shown that the Chinese Communist Party is a regime that cannot be trusted, cannot be trusted, and will bring you bad luck once you believe.
He suggested ways for Taiwan to respond to the new U.S. administration. First, Taiwan should become a partner that can be trusted, “stand on the side of the United States, we are a friend of the alliance”. Second, “the ROC government should be specific about our goals, not ambiguous, and make it very clear what Taiwan needs from the United States.
Third, in addition to the United States, Taiwan should strengthen relations with Japan, Europe, India, Southeast Asia, and other countries to expand the international alliance to protect democracy and protect Taiwan. Fourth, Taiwan should do its best to play a key role in the U.S.-led Indo-Pacific strategy, and also become a local hub linking Southeast Asia and South Asia, and to organically integrate Taiwan’s new southward policy with the Indo-Pacific policy.
Fifth, many Confucius Institutes have been closed around the world, showing that countries reject the false cultural diplomacy of the CCP; Taiwan should replace the Confucius Institutes with genuine cultural diplomacy, promote Taiwan studies in the U.S., Europe, Japan and Southeast Asia, and speak about the history of Taiwanese struggles as a content of cultural diplomacy to tell the story of Taiwan to people around the world.
Sixth, Taiwan should actively establish a clear sense of enemy and friend, with the “enemy” being the Chinese Communist Party and the “friend” being all countries that stand with Taiwan. Seventh, “We must recognize that there are counter-currents in Taiwan that pander to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and are pro-CCP, and we must uncover these people.”
Eighth, Taiwan has no position to play a two-handed strategy in the face of the CCP, “We are opposed to one country, two systems and the CCP’s civil attack and military intimidation, and we have no room for compromise on the CCP’s intelligence warfare, infiltration, buying advertisements or collusion with Taiwanese businessmen.”
Ming Juzheng: Taiwan really has no future if it does not oppose the Communist Party
“International anti-communist voices are very strong,” Ming Juzheng analysis of the reasons include the Chinese Communist Party suppression of Hong Kong, Taiwan, Xinjiang and Mongolia, as well as the global spread of Wuhan pneumonia after the “epidemic for hegemony”, while promoting a major foreign propaganda and global united war, causing an international backlash against the Chinese Communist Party. This has also awakened many people in the world to the nature of the Chinese Communist Party.
Ming Juzheng said, the U.S. President Trump (Trump) came to power to change the policy on the Chinese Communist Party, the U.S.-China relationship has become a strategic rivalry can not return, Biden because of Trump’s policy and opened up space, enjoy a lot of leverage and space for negotiation. And the mainland economy into recession, social problems breeding, “last year, China’s economic GDP growth must be negative, the so-called last year’s GDP increase of 2.3% is the Communist Party of China to create the figures.”
He said Xi Jinping seized power by fighting corruption, but also encountered a backlash from anti-Xi forces. Wuhan pneumonia has had a full impact on mainland China’s economy, society, diplomacy and politics, and if the CCP’s internal and external difficulties continue, Xi will have an even harder time this year.
“Taiwan is a key point of confrontation between the U.S. and China,” he said, arguing that the CCP’s united front against Taiwan will be stronger some time down the road, and that “Taiwan must stand firm against the Communist Party; if not, we really have no future.”
Xie Jinhe: Taiwan’s GDP grew 2.98% last year, the brightest performance in the global economy
Caixin Media Group Chairman Xie Jinhe said that some people say that Taiwan’s economy will only be good if cross-strait relations are good? This is not true.
“The past 30 years of good cross-strait relations, Taiwan’s people and money are sucked away by China, of course Taiwan’s economy will not be good.” He pointed out that cross-strait relations have been very bad in the past two years, but Taiwan’s economy is very good, becoming the top of the four small dragons in Asia, and Taiwan has entered the developed country, moving towards the goal of a rich and well-mannered society.
Xie Jinhe said, in the epidemic ravaged the world, 2020 has been defined by Time magazine as “the worst year”, but Taiwan’s epidemic prevention success, in the grip of the epidemic, the house economy and work at Home, triggered the semiconductor industry, last year Taiwan’s export growth rate of 4.9%, coupled with the country’s travel abroad is not easy, triggering the island’s national travel frenzy to create 210 million trips, increased consumer spending, which is an important key to GDP growth of 2.98% last year, Taiwan is likely to be the brightest global economic performance last year.
He said that after Trump took office, the U.S.-China trade war opened, contributing to the return of Taiwanese businesses. The U.S.-China technology war, sanctions against huawei and SMIC, Taiwan’s semiconductor boom, the Trump era triggered the world to say no to the Chinese Communist Party!
As for the Biden era, will there be changes in the U.S.-China tug-of-war? He believes that Biden is afraid that it is difficult to flip the Trump line, “Growing Taiwan is our only way out, and Taiwan is gradually rising in geopolitics.”
