Analysis: The most dangerous Taiwan election since 1995
Professor Wang Jiangyu, a professor at the School of Law of the City University of Hong Kong, was judged during the interview with Lianhe Morning Post. The "Lai Xiao Bao" led by the polls (January 3) was a candidate for "Taiwan independence color is very obvious" after Lee Teng -hui.It means that this Taiwan election is the most dangerous since 1995.
Wang Jiangyu pointed out that Beijing will definitely do not hesitate on the Taiwan issue. If Lai Qingde is elected, the United States will also be very worried, because "the most in line with the interests of the United States is that the two sides of the strait are permanently divided without uniformity without fighting, and there is no unity.It will not cause war due to Taiwan independence; if Lai Qingde is elected, this situation may be destroyed.
He said: "The current situation has created some cooperation space for the mainland and the United States on issues in Taiwan. What kind of tacit understanding of the two parties, such as whether the United States will come to restrict Taiwan independence, whether the mainland will take so -called obvious measuresWhat is the boundary between everyone? Maybe the two sides will do a kind of warpage through the intensive communication this week ... It will also establish a tacit understanding to control the crisis. "

But He Zien believes that the mainland is unlikely to carry out such a large -scale military exercise after the selection, because it will leave the outside world to leave a poor look at the mainland.
Wang Jiangyu said that the possibility of launching military exercises in the landscape of maintenance cannot be ruled out, but it depends on the performance of the DPP candidate after being elected.Essence
