The so-called “Taiwanese” deputies to the National People’s Congress (NPC) and members of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) are not elected by Taiwanese public opinion. Many of them are only the second or third generation of Taiwanese born in mainland China, and their comments are out of touch with Taiwan‘s reality, making them the object of ridicule by the Taiwanese people. Some Taiwanese CPPCC members say that Taiwanese people do not understand politics and only want to pursue small fortunes; some NPC deputies say that the youth of Hong Kong and Taiwan all want to become soldiers in China.
At the 2019 Chinese National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), a self-proclaimed “Taiwan girl,” Ling You-shi, 57, advocated the need for China to introduce a National Unification Law to curb the forces of Taiwan independence. In an interview at this year’s National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, she gave a personal interpretation of Taiwanese people’s insistence on retaining the “Taiwanese way of Life.
Ling Youshi: “Taiwanese people don’t look as if they are very keen on politics, in fact, they don’t know anything about politics, they are like big worship, big temple fairs and this kind of warmth, in fact, what they aspire to is a very harmonious and leisurely life of small fortune, bubble hot springs, drink coffee, go to the mountains for two days, this is what they want. “
When the Tsai Ing-wen administration rejected Xi Jinping‘s “one country, two systems” Taiwan proposal or the “1992 Consensus”, it repeatedly mentioned that Taiwan should secure its own way of life. Radio Free Asia interviewed several NTU students at Taiwan’s highest academic institution, National Taiwan University (NTU), on the 10th, and they did not accept Ling You-shi’s statement.
A female student surnamed Hsu from the Department of Forestry at NTU said she had been to the mainland several times and it was not bad there, but she still chose to want the life in Taiwan: “Actually I don’t want to be unified, I do want Taiwan to be independent, I’m afraid what will happen if I talk about this. Indeed they are not free than us, over there Facebook can not use anything, I think now have do not go to change, I think the current state is very good, at most in the international status of no such just.”
Huang, a female student in the Department of Geology at NTU, also asked rhetorically, “If he does not guarantee freedom of speech, it is also a way of life, on what books we sell in bookstores, what newspapers print, what we can say, these are part of life, not only material life. You see what classes can be taught inside the university is also a life.”
Huang believes that China and Taiwan have been separated for too long, and the two places have very different national conditions, values and lifestyles. “So it’s hard to use their ruling tactics to rule us, because they can’t even handle Hong Kong alone, it’s hard to really integrate very well, I think. I think the freedom thing is very important, as far as people don’t just need to be fed, we need more than that.”
Taiwan people’s pursuit of small fortune is built on the guarantee of freedom and democracy
Chen, a male student in the Department of Chemical Engineering at NTU, said he doesn’t quite agree with Ling Youshi’s statement. “The most important thing for us is to have the freedom of speech and the right to take action, and only under the guarantee of democracy can we do what we want to do, such as making coffee or traveling. “
Another self-proclaimed “Taiwan National People’s Congress delegate” and chairman of the board of directors of Fuli (Hong Kong) International Group, Tsai Peihui, claimed on the 7th that many young people from Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan “hope to join the military in the mainland”, in the PLA “to exercise The Beijing authorities should pay attention to the idea that young people from Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan want to join the military in China. He believes that they can get professional training and training in the military, show their true character, sharpen their strong will, and enhance their sense of identity with China.
The new head shell of the Taiwanese media, online news, to “do not make up, okay? The headline “Many young people from Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan ‘want to join the army in mainland China'” reported Tsai Peihui’s statement, which was also accompanied by a photo of the People’s Liberation Army bawling in support of the Sino-Indian border circulated on the Internet earlier, full of irony.
Would you want to be a soldier in mainland China? “It’s hard to find such people, right?!”
A NTU student who did not want to be named said categorically, “No, why would I want to go, there is no reason to go!”
Lin, from the Department of Electrical Engineering at NTU, also said, “No, I’m not from there.”
Chen, a chemical engineering student at NTU, said, “I won’t! I just identify with the land of Taiwan, so I will do my duty in Taiwan.”
Huang, Department of Geology, National Taiwan University: “To join the army in China? You can’t find such people, right? I don’t think you’ll find anyone who wants to do that even if you look for a year here.
China’s official media Xinhua News Agency reported on the fourth day with “not forgetting the vicissitudes of Family and country past, speaking for the voices of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait – an interview with new Taiwanese representatives and members”, and a number of mainland media also strongly released the so-called “Taiwanese representatives “Talking about cross-strait family, how the mainland brings benefits to Taiwan compatriots, attracting Taiwan compatriots to the mainland to study, start businesses, employment, etc.
Taipei legislator: Taiwan’s elected government, the people’s representative is only worthy to be called Taiwan’s representative
Taipei City Councilor Miao Boya of the Social Democratic Party pointed out in an interview with Radio Free Asia that the Chinese Communist Party has been using so-called fake Taiwan representatives for years, and in the past there were self-proclaimed Taiwan girls who advocated China’s reunification rhetoric.
Miao Boya said, “These people have not been authorized by the people of Taiwan from beginning to end, not elected by the people of Taiwan, not endorsed by the public opinion of Taiwan, China then find as many models can only represent themselves, completely unable to represent the views of the people of Taiwan.”
Miao Boya bluntly said that the Chinese Communist Party invested in these so-called “Taiwan representatives” to carry out united war against Taiwan, which is actually a waste of resources. These people are basically the second and third generation, not born in Taiwan, have no ties to Taiwan, and claim to be Taiwan representatives are actually personal remarks. In particular, according to the cross-strait people’s relations regulations, Taiwanese are not allowed to hold Communist Party, government and military positions. Since they have gone to hold Chinese official positions, they certainly can no longer have Taiwanese nationality, let alone be representatives of any Taiwanese people.
Miao Boya said: “From last year’s presidential and parliamentary elections in Taiwan, we can see that there is no market for these statements and positions in Taiwan, and the real public opinion in Taiwan is shown through the presidential and legislative elections. If China really wants to understand the opinions and public opinion of the Taiwanese people, he should communicate with the elected government of Taiwan, which is the only one that can represent the opinions of the Taiwanese people.”
