recently, lin chia-lung, head of taiwan's foreign affairs department, published an article in israeli media, talking about taiwan's "key position in semiconductors and shipping", and then called for "taiwan to be included in the united nations" to ensure "stability in the indo-pacific region". the whole article reverses right and wrong, has disordered logic, and is full of loopholes.attempting to split the country by appealing to external forceshow shameless and ridiculous!

in his article, lin jialong boasted about the influence of taiwan's semiconductor industry on the world, claiming that "90% of the world's advanced semiconductor products and advanced chips are made in taiwan." in his view, this is taiwan's biggest reliance on gaining western support and even promoting "joining the united nations." however, this statement is obviously highly inconsistent with the policies and actions of the democratic progressive party since it came to power.

if taiwan's advanced semiconductor manufacturing capabilities are such a powerful bargaining chip, why do tsai ing-wen and lai ching-te spare no effort to push companies such as tsmc to build factories in the united states, japan, and europe at their own expense and in violation of the principle of efficiency? isn't this equivalent to directly abandoning taiwan's bargaining chip? isn't this the "selling out taiwan" behavior that the dpp most often attacks its political opponents?

lin chia-lung equates taiwan's manufacturing level and technological strength as political bargaining chips for seeking "independence", which is a well-known inequality.

first,taiwan’s importance in relevant fields is decreasing and its “substitutability” is increasing.on the one hand, in recent years, politicians from the united states and taiwan have increased their collusion and continued to promote the relocation of taiwan's high-end semiconductor manufacturing capabilities, reducing the value of the "silicon shield"; on the other hand, the mainland has been catching up in related fields. as time goes by, the gap in high-end semiconductor product manufacturing capabilities between the two sides will be greatly reduced. the "force majeure" formed by the above two factors will make the dpp authorities' intention of "making the most of the rare goods" disillusioned.

secondly, even if taiwan can always maintain its leading position in a specific field as lin jialong said (which is impossible in reality),nor can it constitute a basis for them to split the country and seek "independence".it cannot be a reason for china to coerce various international organizations and institutions, including the united nations. china's solution to the taiwan issue will not harm the legitimate interests of any country, including its economic interests in taiwan, but will only bring more development opportunities to all countries.

as a legacy of the chinese civil war, taiwan will eventually return to the embrace of the motherland, and the two sides of the taiwan strait will surely achieve reunification.this is the firm will of the 1.4 billion chinese people and an inevitable trend of history. wang yi, member of the political bureau of the cpc central committee and foreign minister, pointed out at the munich security conference in february this year that stability in the taiwan strait is in the interests of all parties, and it is precisely the "taiwan independence" forces on the island that undermine peace and stability in the taiwan strait. he emphasized that "taiwan independence" and peace in the taiwan strait are incompatible. adhering to the one-china principle means supporting china's peaceful reunification;to maintain peace and stability in the taiwan strait, we must firmly oppose "taiwan independence".

in his article, lin jialong also praised israel's "universal defense" experience, claiming that the dpp authorities have been observing and learning from it, and even praised israel for its "western influence" that can help taiwan expand its "international space." i wonder if lin jialong noticed israel's current actions that violated the consensus of the international community while flattering it? did he notice the tragic scenes of war and corpses in the region?

in september 2021, a spokesperson for the taiwan affairs office of the state council made a statement on wu zhaoxie's rampant pursuit of "independence", pointing out that wu zhaoxie's words and deeds are inseparable from the word "independence", and all his tricks are nothing more than the word "cheat". lin jialong took over wu zhaoxie's position on "may 20" this year, and now it seems that he has also taken over wu zhaoxie's ideas and methods for seeking "independence". if lin jialong continues to distort the facts, reverse right and wrong, and attempt to promote "taiwan independence" in the international community, then it will only be a matter of time before he follows wu zhaoxie's footsteps and is included in the list of "taiwan independence" diehards.

the words that the taiwan affairs office of the state council warned wu zhaoxie and his ilk can be sent to lin jialong and his ilk today: unification is the right path, and "taiwan independence" is a dead end. in the face of the historical trend of the rejuvenation of the chinese nation and the reunification of the motherland and the national justice, various "taiwan independence" forces are like grasshoppers after autumn, and various "taiwan independence" remarks are nothing more than the "buzzing" of flies, "a few shrill cries, a few sobs".
