At the Chinese Foreign Ministry’s first post-election press conference in Taiwan, from the election results to the severance of diplomatic relations between Nauru, eight questions about Taiwan emerged, and The official answer method was consistent. However, the official harshness is still too lenient in the eyes of nationalists, who are calling for the process of military unification to be accelerated.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry held a regular press conference on the afternoon of the 15th. As Taiwan’s presidential election has just ended, many countries, including the United States, have sent congratulatory messages. In addition, the Pacific island nation of Nauru announced that it will cut diplomatic relations with Taiwan and restore diplomatic relations with China.

Public opinion is not a small minority but a sizeable majority.”

These two If you can’t do it, forget to go one step further.”

Gao Zhikai, deputy director of the China and Globalization Think Tank, wrote on Weibo: “Listen to their words and watch their actions. Next, we must closely monitor whether they translate Taiwan’s independence into concrete action.”
Hu Xijin, former editor-in-chief of the state-run Global Times, said: “China’s military power and national strength have created an effective deterrent for the future Lai Ching-te government, and the United States will also respect China’s red line” on the Taiwan issue. “
The report also noted that not all Chinese people support the military reunification mentality and some people believe that Taiwan’s elections are a model of Chinese democracy.
