former taiwan leader ma ying-jeou said in a speech at his alma mater harvard university recently that taiwan is not a pawn and the future development of the two sides of the taiwan strait should be decided by the people on both sides of the taiwan strait. taiwan leader lai ching-te's "new two-nation theory" has aroused doubts in the political, business and academic circles in the united states, and the so-called "doubt theory" is spreading in the international community.

the ma ying-jeou foundation issued a press release today mentioning that ma ying-jeou pointed out in his speech that the mainland has repeatedly stated that as long as both sides of the taiwan strait recognize themselves as the chinese nation, anything can be discussed and they also hope that more taiwanese people will come to the mainland. people also go to taiwan more and more.

"unfortunately, lai ching-te did not respond to this goodwill," ma ying-jeou criticized. lai even publicly declared the "new two-nation theory" line in his inauguration speech, triggering a strong reaction from the mainland. not only did he launch a large-scale military exercise around taiwan, but also further announce legal provisions on punishing "taiwan independence" forces.

ma ying-jeou pointed out that the "new two-nation theory" is of no benefit to taiwan's security and cross-strait peace, and will only sow the seeds of hatred, unrest and unrest. the chairman of the american institute in taiwan has also come to taiwan several times to express concerns about this development.

he called on lai ching-te to change the "new two-nation theory" line, consider cross-strait peace and the security of the taiwanese people, return to the "one-china principle", rebuild cross-strait mutual trust, and bring peace to both sides of the strait and the region.

ma ying-jeou reminded the dpp authorities to recognize the reality. no country will sacrifice its own children for taiwan. if there is a war between the two sides of the taiwan strait, the casualties will be chinese on both sides of the taiwan strait. he said that cross-strait issues should be resolved by the two sides themselves, and there is no room for foreign intervention. both sides of the taiwan strait belong to the same china, so cross-strait issues should be discussed by the two sides themselves. it is impossible and should not be done by others, let alone foreign interference.
