Since the Democratic Progressive Party's second governance in 2016, 7 diplomatic relations have been lost to break the record of the presidents of the election presidents of Taiwan. At present, there are only 15 from Taiwan diplomatic relations.There seems to be endless signs.Lan Camp legislators ridiculed that the Foreign Minister had no crabs, which means that the DPP government allowed cross -strait relations to be evil, but they could not make high tricks to consolidate diplomatic relations. They could only sit still.
However, in the first half of this year, the DPP government seemed to be favored by the god of luck. The crown disease epidemic not only did not spread on the treasure island, but also allowed the small English ruling team to take the opportunity to get rid of the epidemic, and even sold TAIWANCANHELP.diplomatic.Thank you for the gifted country. Thank you, and the Cai government exports to domestic sales like a treasure, showing off its diplomatic achievements to the public.Unexpectedly, epidemic prevention diplomacy is just another variant of Kaizi diplomacy. Taiwan still fails to be invited to participate in the World Health Conference.
Another diplomatic achievement that made the DPP government complacent is the representative office with official nature with Somalilan in the near future, as if it was a gift from the sky.However, those who are familiar with international politicians know that Somalilan's independent founding of the country with Britain and Italian colonial North Africa is closely related to the conflict of the Somaria civil war in 1991.Although Somalilan has gained its dominance for 29 years since Somalia has independently, it is still a problem whether it has become an independent of sovereignty in the international community.Even though Somalilan has more than 12 state -owned representatives in the world, such as Britain, Belgium, Sweden, Ethiopia, Ghana, etc., no country officially recognizes that Somalilan is a sovereign independent country.
Compared with Taiwan's formal recognition, Somalilan's international status is not as good as that. Taiwan is anxious to be the first country to recognize Somalilan.It is the dilemma of diplomatic deficit that faced 0 and 7 broken diplomatic relations under Tsai Ing -wen. Therefore, he tried to use the Ah Q technique of unauthorized attraction to confuse most of the Taiwanese people who did not understand the international reality.
However, the sequelae is also obvious. The Presidential Palace of Somalia immediately issued a statement condemning Taiwan to destroy the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity.In the long run, because of the recognition of Somali, like supporting the global separatist movement, it echoes Scottish, Quebec, Basque, and Kurds, which is difficult to achieve independent. In the future, it is bound to be more isolated and marginalized in the international community.
Facing the long -term diplomatic dilemma, the Tsai government adopted the strategy of the United States and US system after coming to power.The Taiwan diplomatic country also decreased sharply within 4 years.According to the corresponding way, the Taiwanese side should not only use the clever tactics to perform assaults in order to obtain a small profit. It has no help in the overall situation and may also produce the sequelae that is not good for itself.The fundamental approach should be to face the structural factors of international politics, maintain a balanced relationship with all parties in the game of a large country, and avoid all eggs in a basket.
