On August 23 this year, coincided with the 65th anniversary of the outbreak of the Kinmen artillery war, all major political figures in Taiwan landed on Kinmen Island.Although the presidential candidate of the people's party, although the presidential candidate, did not arrive, had reached the past battlefield as early as May.
Leaders delivered a speech. As the Democratic Progressive Party and politicians who adhere to the concept of Taiwan independence, the overall tone is still "anti -China -China". It can be said that there is no new intention, which is not conducive to reducing the current tension on both sides of the strait.Both sides of the Taiwan Straits are yellow -skinned and black hair and black -eyed beads. Although there are different political opinions, they can even be said to be huge, but we must adhere to a bottom line -the two sides cannot be gently enlightened, because "the two are both good, the fight is two defeats."Kinmen is a living example -starting from August 23, 1958, more than 20 years, local residents have lived in the rumbling sounds, such as thin ice, and can not talk about living in peace.Do not invest large funds in Fujian and engage in large -scale construction, which has also led to the slow economic and social development of Fujian.If it is not for the spring breeze of reform and opening up, it may be even behind many inland provinces.
Mainland China established diplomatic relations with the United States on January 1, 1979. On the same day, she stopped shelling against Golden Gate. The two sides of the strait were officially divided. After the Jinsha area, they gradually developed economic and trade exchanges. Xiamen became a special economic zone and developed into the fast lane.Regarding economic and trade exchanges, whether it is the "Little Three Connect" at the beginning or the later "big three", Golden Gate is an important area. Mainland tourists also bring a lot of real gold and silver to Golden Gate.Most of Kinmen's water now relies on the mainland, and power supply is also planned.It can be said that from cross -strait exchanges, Kinmen has benefited a lot.This is the case in Kinmen, and so is the entire Taiwan.Cross -strait economic and trade exchanges have made Taiwan a lot of money, and the annual trade surplus is tens of billions of dollars.Through the introduction of Taiwan's capital, technology, and management experience, the mainland has developed a lot of development in many industries. The most typical is the food industry and semiconductor industry. The quality of life of the people has been improved.
Uniform, Master Kang, Wangwang, Hongji, and ASUS are all Taiwanese brands familiar with mainland consumers. My son in elementary school likes to drink Wangzai milk.Huawei, a large technology factory in the mainland, lacks TSMC's high -end chips, and it is difficult to produce 5G mobile phones.Everyone is friendly, is there any good communication, why is it not good?Why do you have to make your sword tense and the same as the water and fire now?
Cross -strait affairs have always been the Kuomintang's strengths. This time Hou Youyi called for restarting cross -strait affairs hotlines to reduce the risk of conflict on the outbreak of the Taiwan Strait.This proposal is more pragmatic. In the context of the current cross -strait military confrontation and political exchanges, it is difficult to restore a telephone line. It should be difficult and operable.
In this presidential election, some of the marginal Guo Taiming also called on cross -strait to be peaceful and not to war. They also promised to invest 20 million US dollars to set up the "Golden Gate Peace Initiative Foundation".Guo Dong, who was wealthy, served military service in Kinmen in the 1960s, experienced cross -strait arts in person, and also saw the destructive power of the war. I believe that his words were the words of his heart.
Kinmen's famous specialty, one is sorghum wine, and the other is a kitchen knife.Sorghum wine at the "Xi Jockey Club" held in Singapore in 2015, the leaders of the two sides had a good time, and they had already drank.I have been fashionable and bought a bottle on the Internet. The wine is rich and the taste is good. The raw materials for creating a kitchen knife are a large number of shots and shells left over from the Golden Gate guns for decades.I hope that sorghum wine is often there, and the less kitchen knives, the better, the best.The tragedy of the brothers' disabled and the same room can no longer be repeated!
An intriguing is that the PLA has held artillery exercises on the coast of Fujian in recent days, but it has avoided sensitive August 23 on time.In a sense, this is not only a warning to Taiwan's independence forces, but also released a certain degree of goodwill.
