after lai ching-te came to power for 100 days, he not only did not turn back from the path of "taiwan independence", but also increased his provocations on the basis of the "new two-state theory" of "the two sides of the taiwan strait are not subordinate to each other", falsely claiming that un general assembly resolution 2758 "has nothing to do with taiwan" and using "representation rights" as an excuse to challenge the one-china principle and confront the majority of the international community. lai ching-te continues to wander on the edge of "legal taiwan independence", which will inevitably lead to further countermeasures and attacks from the mainland, and will also be put on a tight ring by the international community. foreign media reports that swaziland is "gradually moving closer to beijing" have led netizens on the island to speculate that lai ching-te's new round of "taiwan independence" actions may lead to the "severance of diplomatic relations" between swaziland, the only remaining "diplomatic ally" in africa, and taiwan.

in 1971, the 26th un general assembly adopted resolution 2758, which decided to restore all the legitimate rights of the people's republic of china in the united nations and recognized that the representatives of the government of the people's republic of china are the only legitimate representatives of china in the united nations. resolution 2758 clearly, fairly and thoroughly resolved the issue of china's representation in the united nations from the political, legal and procedural perspectives, and also made it clear that china has only one seat in the united nations and there is no "two chinas" or "one china, one taiwan" issue.

under the instigation of the united states and in collusion with "taiwan independence" forces, australia and the netherlands recently passed the so-called "un general assembly resolution 2758 does not involve taiwan" resolution. lai ching-te's administration openly declared that the primary task of promoting "participation in the united nations" this year is to help the international community so-called "correctly understand" un general assembly resolution 2758, clamoring that "china has no right to represent taiwan in the un system."

in response, the taiwan affairs office of the state council has issued a stern warning, stating that no matter how much the dpp authorities fabricate stories or how they collude with external forces, they cannot change the fact that there is only one china in the world and taiwan is a part of china.

in response to lai ching-te's "taiwan independence" words and deeds after he came to power, the mainland has launched a "combination punch" for comprehensive countermeasures and deterrence in the past few months. for example, at the military level, it includes the "joint sword-2024a" exercise held in may and the normalization of combat readiness patrols against taiwan; at the legal level, in june, the "two high courts and three ministries" issued the "22 opinions on punishing independence" in accordance with the law; at the economic level, on september 18, the third wave of suspension of tariff concessions between the two sides of the taiwan strait was announced.

every time the "taiwan independence" forces provoke, the mainland will counterattack, constantly shrinking the space for "taiwan independence". the latest "taiwan independence" move by the lai ching-te administration to challenge un general assembly resolution 2758 will only make taiwan's so-called "international space" smaller and smaller.

coincidentally, foreign media recently reported that swaziland, taiwan's last "diplomatic ally" in africa, is "gradually moving closer to beijing". relevant signs include: 1. swazi business people revealed that the swazi government "is quietly softening towards china (mainland)", and swaziland's economy is increasingly dependent on mainland china. 2. at the end of 2023, prince guduza, chairman of the swaziland mineral management committee, led a delegation to visit mainland china to pave the way for the establishment of diplomatic relations between china and sri lanka. 3. in may last year, china power construction group obtained a $165 million contract from the swaziland government to build the mpakeni earth-rock dam.

coincidentally, the prospective us ambassador to swaziland, mcintire, attended an appointment hearing a few days ago and specifically promised to assist taiwan in "consolidating diplomatic relations", claiming that one of his top priorities would be to allow swaziland, taiwan's only "diplomatic ally" in africa, to maintain relations with taiwan.

combined with relevant foreign media reports, mcintyre's speech is somewhat like "there is something fishy here". does this indicate that swaziland will abandon taiwan? the united states wants to help taiwan "consolidate its country", but in fact it is unable to do so. tsai ing-wen has lost 10 "diplomatic allies" in a row in the past 8 years, especially nicaragua, panama, honduras, which are regarded as "the backyard of the united states" and have established diplomatic relations with china, which is the best proof of the powerlessness of the united states and the powerlessness of "taiwan independence".

the world trend is unstoppable, and the one-china principle in the international arena is unstoppable.
