[Reporter Chen Yufu/Taipei Report] Taiwan will hold a presidential election next year. How will the CCP approach Taiwan this year?

Interviewed officials who are familiar with cross-strait issues pointed out that after the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China has promoted the process of reunification, and its work with Taiwan will be "harder and harder."

Officials said that after the DPP was defeated in the nine-in-one local elections last year, the CCP will definitely take advantage of the victory to pursue it.

The CCP also knows that the Democratic Progressive Party will definitely fight the Communist Party for national sovereignty, so it keeps slandering "anti-China protection Taiwan", fearing that the people of Taiwan will resist like Ukraine.

According to official analysis, this year is an election year. The CCP hopes that the pro-China political party will return to power in 2024, so as to facilitate the subsequent completion of reunification. In order to prevent the DPP from continuing to be in power, there will be many suppression actions this year, and the CCP plans to implement the "one country, two systems Taiwan plan" after reunification , to apply Hong Kong's "patriots ruling Hong Kong" to Taiwan.

He mentioned that during the period of the Malaysian government, "the door was open and the house was ignored." China's infiltration of Taiwan through cross-strait exchanges was very serious, and now many sequelae are emerging one by one.

For example, under China's "profit sharing", more than a dozen agreements were signed between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. Facts have proved that they are just "support and killing". When the DPP came to power, these have become China's tools for political blackmail and economic sanctions.

After the economic agreement is signed, the next step for the CCP is to let Taiwan sign a political agreement to prevent the internationalization of the Taiwan issue.

According to analysis, the CCP’s “soft and hard tactics” towards Taiwan will be tougher if it is hard, but not necessarily softer if it is soft. Military deterrence and diplomatic suppression against Taiwan will not stop, but will intensify, and economic sanctions and containment will be strengthened. Because the "new era" of Xi Jinping's third term is not only anti-independence, but unification is on the agenda. In order to extend his fourth term in 2027, Xi may make rash moves.

Officials pointed out that after China’s live-fire military drill around Taiwan in August last year, military intimidation against Taiwan has not been restrained. Military planes harass Taiwan and rush to the center of the strait every day. Loosen Taiwan's will and determination to resist the enemy.
