The Tsai Ing -wen government adopted the pro -American and anti -mid -range route, and the cross -strait relations gradually became tense. However, under the wave of populism, the road of extremism caused the DPP government to rise. In AugustSixty or 70 % of them make President Cai's full control of self -confidence. Without social communication, the import of imports of American pigs and cows is lifted.However, public opinion does not pay for. According to the latest survey of TVBS, up to 64%of the people oppose the import of lean meat and exquisite pigs, only 22%of them, even half of the DPP supporters also oppose it, and President Tsai ’s administration has fallen 4%, Dissatisfaction rises by 9%, cannot underestimate subsequent efforts.
Whether or not to import lean meat pork is related to national health. It is a issue of people's livelihood and has nothing to do with ideological or international strategy.Ironically, the Democratic Progressive Party mistakenly believes that the issue of people's livelihood can be shaped into a necessary supporting facilities for the strategy of anti -China National Taiwan University to try to persuade the public.
The price of pro -American and anti -China needs to pay
From President Tsai Ing -wen, Chief Executive Su Zhenchang, and Minister of Health and Welfare Chen Shizhong, to officials and people in the green camps, they have greatly played international status and anti -Chinese cards.The international status will improve and fight against China.However, from the perspective of TVBS's polls, even if they can be replaced by the Taiwan -American Free Trade Agreement to enhance their international status, they do not agree that the openrs are still more than half. Only 30 % agree. The people do not pay for the Cai government's international cards.
The DPP's main international cards have failed. Most public opinion still opposes the importance of lean meat pigs. This is not only denying the DPP's public policy, but also questioning and opposition to the DPP's pro -American route.It is not to say that people do not support pro -beauty, or they think they should be against the United States, but they are unwilling to at the expense of food security.This is the problem of the DPP avoided, unwilling to face, and even dare to explain the problem with the people -what price should I pay for pro -American and anti -China?does it worth?
Charity cannot achieve the hegemony, and the United States knows this.After the end of World War II, the United States was prosperous, and other countries were destroyed by war. Japan and Western European countries quickly revived with the support of the United States.But in the 1960s, the US economy declined, and Washington began to demand the appreciation of allies. In 1985, the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, France, and West Germany had reached a square agreement.Farah, Italian, British pounds, and Canadian dollars rose 50%to 10%, respectively, and the US dollar sits in the hegemonic position, while Japan has gone through the fate of economic bubbles and brewing.Today, the Trump administration has further demanded that allies should share military expenses, and believe that the United States provides resources, military expenses, manpower and material resources to maintain world order and trade maritime security.
The United States has always been in Taiwan today to understand the deep meaning behind the American pig issue.When the United States believes that helping the Cai government on both sides of the strait and international level, such as sending the Minister of Health and the Second Qing Dynasty to Taiwan; helping Taiwan to increase international activity space and enhance international visibility, so that the DPP can be promoted and enhanced domestic support, especially in particularTaiwan hopes to increase Taiwan -US relations and increase more military purchases to stabilize people's hearts. Then, in terms of economic and trade issues, including the opening of lean meat -containing pork imports and reducing the trade surplus to the United States, there should be rewards.
The United States gives a moment of face, which can be recovered at any time, but Taiwan may lose it, but it will be a permanent loss.According to the Cross -Strait relations polls in mid -August, nearly 40 % of the people think that cross -strait relations are getting worse and worse, and only less than 10 % think it is better, but Cai Yingwen still gets more than 60 % of satisfaction, showing that it shows that it shows that it is more than 60 % of the satisfaction.The public is willing to give the DPP government a chance to pro -American routes, but it may not be expressed at the expense of food security and cross -strait relations. The issue of American pigs is so, and so is the two sides of economic and trade.The survey shows that the ECFA continues to the Taiwan economy is greater than the disadvantages, and twice that the disadvantages are greater than the benefits. The DPP government must be careful.Essence
DPP to deal with public opinion humility
Cross -strait economic relations have been close to the DPP government for 4 years. In the context of the global trade recession, the total trade volume of cross -strait trade from January to August reached 158.928 billion US dollars, an increase of 10%from the same period last year.Most public opinion still wants to maintain close economic and trade relations on both sides of the strait, and the Cai government must be careful.Maintaining the status quo is still the mainstream public opinion on both sides of the strait, public opinion is unwilling to interrupt cross -strait economic and trade exchanges, and is not willing to war on both sides of the strait.
If the DPP believes that the support of the United States is a blank check and public opinion will support the DPP unconditionally, it will be wrong.The DPP should be humble about public opinion, to talk to opposition, rather than doing their own intentions, fake love, really harm the Taiwan.
