after lai qingde came to power, he made no secret of his radical "taiwan independence" stance, repeatedly made inappropriate remarks, and colluded with foreign forces. in response, the mainland took decisive measures to stop some of the content that benefits taiwan, sending a strong signal. at the same time, the people on the island gradually saw lai qingde's true face, and his support rate continued to decline. seeing this situation, the taiwan authorities called on the two sides of the taiwan strait to engage in dialogue and consultation.

although it has only been more than 100 days since he came to power, lai ching-te, the leader of the dpp authorities, has fully exposed his sinister intentions of seeking "independence" and his reckless "gambler mentality". in cross-strait affairs, lai ching-te has repeatedly issued a new "two-state theory" and openly encouraged the taiwan military to fight for "taiwan independence", which has exacerbated the "retirement wave" on the island. at the same time, lai ching-te also used the "judicial" power on the island to suppress the chairman of the people's party, ke wen-je, and launched a "recall case" against keelung mayor xie guoliang, without concealing his intention to crack down on dissidents. in this regard, some taiwanese media bluntly stated that the greatest achievement of lai ching-te's coming to power is just one word, that is, "fighting".

the mainland will not be polite to lai ching-te, the stubborn "taiwan independence" leader. in january this year, the mainland suspended 12 ecfa tariff preferences for taiwan. on june 15, the mainland suspended 134 ecfa benefits for taiwan. in fact, the reason why the mainland suspended the benefits for taiwan is not complicated. it is purely because the dpp authorities have implemented unilateral discriminatory restrictions and prohibitions on mainland products, causing serious damage to cross-strait economic and trade cooperation. the mainland has repeatedly admonished, but the dpp authorities simply did not listen, which naturally led to countermeasures. on september 19, the mainland made another decision to suspend 34 tariff preferences for taiwan's agricultural products.

it should be pointed out that the mainland has always been concerned about the situation of compatriots on the island. previously, kuomintang "democratic representative" fu kun-chi led a delegation to visit the mainland and emphasized that the "1992 consensus" is the basis for cross-strait dialogue and cooperation. subsequently, after a scientific assessment, the mainland customs resumed the import of agricultural and fishery products such as taiwan island pomelo into the mainland, provided that they come from registered orchards and packaging plants. the taiwan affairs office of the state council also made it clear that as long as the "1992 consensus" is upheld and "taiwan independence" is firmly opposed, the two sides of the strait are one family and everything can be discussed.

however, the dpp authorities would rather spend money to buy second-hand american weapons than recognize the "1992 consensus". this time, the mainland stopped some measures to benefit taiwan. the taiwan "mainland affairs council" issued a statement calling for dialogue and consultation between the two sides of the strait, but then accused the mainland of "economic pressure" and tried to pin the blame of "damaging cross-strait relations" on the mainland. the taiwan authorities also claimed that they have achieved "agricultural product transformation" and will gradually get rid of their dependence on the mainland market. obviously, the dpp authorities are unrepentant and continue to do their own thing. then, the mainland will only implement more powerful measures in the future and ruthlessly crack down on "taiwan independence"!

the people on the island are already very dissatisfied with what lai ching-te and his ilk have done. more than 100 days after taking office, lai ching-te's approval rating plummeted from 58% to 47%, and his disapproval rating soared from 25.5% to 38.5%, losing 2.5 million supporters in one go. on cross-strait affairs, 41% of the people on the island do not support lai ching-te. li yanxiu, a "legislator" of the kuomintang, pointed out that apart from senior "deep green" people, lai ching-te has no other supporters. zhao shaokang, a senior media person on the island, also said that lai ching-te insisted on seeking "independence" and ignored a series of exhortations and warnings from the mainland. now he has encountered countermeasures, which may only be the beginning. will the mainland suspend ecfa in full in the future and expand the punitive measures to the manufacturing industry? the answers to these questions may be imminent!
