Yesterday was Taiwan’s “Double Tenth Day”. President Tsai Ing-wen delivered a speech (pictured), reiterating that Taiwan is willing to work with the Beijing authorities to find a mutually acceptable way to maintain peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait under the principle of rationality, equality and mutual respect, emphasizing that “we will meet in arms and war.” It’s definitely not an option for both sides of the strait.” Former President Ma Ying-jeou called on the DPP government to start a dialogue with the mainland as soon as possible, saying that Taiwan should not only prepare for war, but also avoid war and seek peace.
In her Double Ten speech, Tsai Ing-wen hoped that after the resumption of customs clearance on both sides of the strait, healthy and orderly exchanges between the people on both sides of the strait would be gradually restored, thereby easing tensions across the Taiwan Strait, and stressed that “respecting the Taiwan people’s insistence on sovereignty, democracy and freedom is essential. It is the foundation for restarting the positive interaction between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.” Tsai Ing-wen also continued the “Four Persistences” proposed last year on the cross-strait policy, demanding “continue to stand firm on the ‘Four Persistences'”.
The four insistences are: “Always adhere to the constitutional system of freedom and democracy; insist that the ‘Republic of China’ and the People’s Republic of China are not subordinate to each other; insist that sovereignty cannot be invaded and annexed; insist that the future of Taiwan must follow the will of all Taiwan people,” said a spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council. Ma Xiaoguang once bombarded that this was “naked selling the ‘two states theory'”, “advocating Taiwan independence, inciting confrontation, fragmenting history, and distorting facts.”

This side”, while the historical task of cross-strait reunification “must be realized, and it will be realized.”
