Everyone is hoping that the government can do something to ease his or her troubles. However, Ma and his government are not interested in solving them. They are focused on helping Taiwanese businesspeople join the Chinese government.
Using a time when a nation is gripped by natural and economic disaster to brazenly sell off its sovereignty is disgusting. Their attitude only makes it easier for China to push its plan to erase Taiwan from the international community. What will the international community think if Taiwan continues to be unable to join the UN while its businesspeople join the CPPCC.
Taiwanese must not be allowed to hold a position in the CPPCC or any other Chinese Communist Party organization, nor should they be allowed to take up positions or become members in any Chinese military, administrative or political organization. This is essential to Taiwan’s sovereignty.
If a single Taiwanese becomes a member of any such organization, China will invite more Taiwanese to join its fold in an effort to show the world that Taiwan has “returned to the embrace of the motherland.”
Taiwan’s sovereignty crisis is not something that may happen in the future or something to be talked about in the future tense. It is happening right now.
The people of Taiwan need to wake up and take effective action to protect their sovereignty. Otherwise, it could turn out to be difficult to hold a presidential election here in four years’ time.
