Sun Xiaoya, director of the Taipei Office of the United States in the Taiwan Association, has repeatedly emphasized that it will not choose or score on Taiwanese candidates; but whenever foreign media reports that the United States has different opinions on Taiwanese candidates, it always causes heated discussions.First, Hou Youyi's "Restoring Four Monthly Military Supreme Theory", and then Lai Qingde's "Taiwan Entering White House", all made the Blue and green parties nervous. It must be repeatedly clarified to avoid affecting the election because of the US attitude.
"The theory of military service for four months" was originally mentioned by the media person Zhao Shaokang, and believes that the saying can help to win young votes.Hou Youyi later said in an exclusive interview with Zhao Shaokang, "determining the stability of the two sides of the strait, and returning to the military service for four months."Unexpectedly, the saying that it was looking forward to the goal of being able to effectively strengthen self -defense with the United States, and forced Hou Youyi to clarify his position the next day.
Lai Qingde's "Taiwan Entering White House said" stepped on the Red Line of Washington, and it was more expected to go to the Democratic Progressive Party.As early as the beginning of the year, foreign media reported that Washington had doubts about Lai Qingde's Taiwan independence. Lai Qingde had tried his best to confess himself to avoid any words involved in Taiwan independence. He even criticized that he should not have "suspicion theory" in the opposition party.Lai Qingde's eagerness to the United States was only seen by previous presidential candidates.Despite this positive and self -restraint, Lai Qingde's conversation in Yilan's elections has become the target of "suspicion" in the United States, and specifically selected to clarify on the eve of Lai Qingde's upcoming US.This is really an arrow flying outside.
Lai Qingde said that "Taiwan can enter the White House, the goals we are pursuing will be achieved", one reveals his original intention of "pragmatic Taiwan independence workers", and the second expresses the desire to establish an official relationship with the United States;Unexpectedly, such a statement will kick the iron plate.In fact, in terms of the most loose standards, this expression has spanned the "one Chinese policy" category of the United States, and has stepped on the red line of the US -Taiwan relations.At that time, Lai Qingde's visits were arranging a transit trip in the United States. Originally, he hoped to obtain high -standard reception in order to be a capital of election.White House.
The key is that President Biden is facing the challenge of the next presidential election. At this time, he must handle US -China relations more securely and avoid rampant branches.The situation at this time was very different from the situation and atmosphere when Pelosi visited Taiwan last year. The Bayeng government would not want Lai Qingde to transit and become a variable that interfere with the US -China repair relationship.Therefore, Sun Xiaoya has repeatedly quoted the "One Middle School Policy" emphasizing that Lai follows the "convention", that is, to reduce the excessive expectations of the green camp, and at the same time, it is necessary to show the US position to the land to ensure that the "gray rhino" in Xie Feng's mouth will not hit.
Hou Youyi said that the first thing he had to do after he was elected was to be stable on both sides of the strait and resumed communication.However, to stabilize the two sides of the strait, it is not a sentence to "support the 1992 consensus of the Constitution of the Republic of China". It is necessary to accurately use the dense policy design and national security capabilities to accurately control the power balance of the three parties of the United States and the land.EssenceSimilarly, Lai Qingde does not put forward the "four pillars of peace" in the US newspaper, which can let the United States doubt.If he cannot be pragmatic and accurately standing in Taiwan's "maintaining the status quo", he will continue to be questioned and pursued by the United States.
The United States 'series of responses to Hou Youyi and Lai Qingde, under the structure of Washington's "de -risk" of China -China relations, is not obtrusive, and the United States' shot is also restrained.On the other hand, Taiwan's presidential candidates must accept such adjustments and amendments, showing that their diplomatic and national security experience is insufficient, so they tasted the "shock education" of the United States.With this experience, Hou Lai should better understand the importance of speech, because the candidate's words and deeds are not only ordinary voters, but also more stringent off -site judges.
Lai Qingde has served as the post of Pavilion and Vice President in recent years, but he still seems to be quite sparse in the high -level national security issue and cannot cope with it.Hou Youyi is also the same. When talking about national security issues and cross -strait issues, they often seem stiff.Both must seek more professional national security staff assistance to make themselves more like a "reliable president."
