《习近平称不知有2027或2035攻台计划，引台竞选争议》- 美国之音 - 2023-11-23[莫寂读报]

Hello everyone, welcome to Mojitobao, where we provide you with news and comments from major newspapers, magazines and websites about domestic politics. Xi Jinping said that there are more than 2027 or 2035 pro-Taiwan projects that lead to Taiwan's election controversy, which was published on November 23, 2023, and the article originated in the United States. Last week, Chinese leader Xi Jinping was at the San Francisco Summit with U.S. President Joe Biden, and no one told him about China's pro-Taiwan projects in 2027 or 2035. Xi Jinping's statement was revealed by U.S. officials and caused controversy in the Taiwan government. After meeting with Xi Jinping, U.S. officials said that Xi Jinping told Biden that he saw U.S. media reports that China plans to attack Taiwan in 2027 or 2035, but in fact there is no so-called pro-Taiwan event. The vice president of Taiwan, Lai Qingde, who is also a candidate for the Democratic Progressive Party, said in an election campaign last weekend that Xi Jinping denied that there were pro-Taiwan projects in 2027 or 2035 at the Sanfrancisco Summit. The Kuomintang has been spreading rumors in this election that the young people who voted for the Democratic Progressive Party are going to the battlefield, saying that 2024 is the election of war and peace. So Xi Jinping's speech has proven that the Kuomintang is lying about the election, said Lai Qingde. He said that no matter how the other side tries to intervene in the Taiwan election, the people of Taiwan should be united to protect their own country and democracy and not allow external forces to destroy it. He said, without peace, everything is empty talk. Peace is our most important commitment to avoid war. Pursuing peace is the most important responsibility of every national leader. Hou Youyi emphasized that the most important thing for me as president is to uphold democracy and freedom, strengthen national defense equipment, strengthen cross-strait exchanges, and reduce cross-strait conflicts to keep Taiwan away from war. President of the Kuomintang, Zhu Lilun, also said that Lai Qingde, a Taiwanese-only worker, is coming to run for president. Not only Taiwan, but even people all over the world are worried that Taiwan will be at risk of war. The Kuomintang's campaign slogans include the vote for the Democratic Progressive Party, the young people going to the battlefield and the vote for the Kuomintang. The Democratic Progressive Party has launched the vote for the Kuomintang. The slogan of Taiwan becomes Hong Kong is ready to fight back. Chen Fangyu, a professor at the University of Taiwan's Dongwu Political Department, told Voice of America that Xi Jinping publicly refuted the 2027 and 2035 guesses about the Taiwan Strait. But this does not mean anything special. He said he had never heard of this plan, but he did not count it. Besides, without the 2027 plan, what about 2026? What about 2028? All you need to do is listen. The military competition in the United States will continue. Stokes Jacobs, a senior researcher at the U.S. Department of State's new U.S. Security Center for Indo-Pacific Security Projects, said in a statement after the meeting last week that the two leaders' face-to-face interaction could make it especially important for Biden to send a series of signals from Taiwan to the peninsula control issues to ensure that the information is transmitted. Because Taiwan will hold the presidential election in January, and the United States will also hold the presidential election in November. Both elections may stimulate tensions between the United States. Stokes said that the two leaders' face-to-face interaction is also an important way for Xi Jinping to understand the U.S. Because Xi Jinping's personal power in China may allow him to operate in an information vacuum to distort his understanding of international affairs. China's State Council says this is a threat to those on the island trying to neutralize Taiwan independence by cutting off diplomatic ties. According to many media reports such as the Taiwan Central News Agency, the Liberty Times, the United Nations, etc., the CPC Central Committee and the State Council issued a face-to-face response to Lai Ching-de's statement in the evening on November 22. Chen Huabin said that some people on the island, such as Lai Ching-de, cut off diplomatic ties and copied the media's so-called report that the mainland has no plans to attack Taiwan in the next few years. In an attempt to mitigate the dangers and risks of denial of Taiwan independence splitting activities, Xi's Taiwanese independence activists are the image of troublemakers and war makers. In an attempt to confuse the public and deceive votes, he also said that the Taiwan issue is always the most important and sensitive issue in Sino-US relations. In a meeting of the Sino-US Chiefs of Staff in San Francisco, Xi Jinping clarified China's principled position in detail. China requires the US to abide by a Chinese principle, oppose Taiwan independence, stop arming Taiwan, stop interfering with China's internal affairs, and support China's peace and unification. The State Council's official website did not publish this statement in the spokesperson's statement page. Thank you for watching. Please remember to like and subscribe to our channel.
