On May 2, Taiwan’s leader Lai ching-te sneaked into a plane from Swaziland and flew to Swaziland, drawing fierce criticism from both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
Taiwan’s“China Times” reported on the 5th that Lai Qingde and his entourage took a special plane from Swaziland on the evening of the 4th and arrived in Taiwan early on the 5th, but neither Lai’s office nor Taiwan’s“Foreign Ministry” responded. Reported that Lai Qingde originally scheduled to visit Swaziland on April 22, but because the three African countries do not allow its flight permit, can only be suspended. Lai then took advantage of the Swazi envoy’s visit to Taiwan to fly there.
On the 2nd, a spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry said that Lai Qingde, just hours after the earthquake in Ilan, deserted the people of the island, snuck into a foreign plane and slipped out of Taiwan, squandering public money lavishly, he staged a“Smuggling” farce and became an international laughing stock, adding to the list of“Taiwan independence” scandals.
Chen Binhua, spokesman of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said on the 2nd that Lai Qingde’s attempt to visit Swaziland by charter flight had been cancelled earlier due to the adherence to the one-china principle by the countries concerned, but he was not willing to fail and even disregarded his face, he fled to Swaziland in a sneaky way. The island is currently in the grip of an earthquake, and Lai Qingde is ignoring it. Thus it can be seen on the island’s cold-blooded people, “Taiwan independence” stubborn position, is out and out“Troublemaker.
On the island, Lai’s actions were also criticized and ridiculed. Taiwan’s“United Daily News” reported on the 5th, the KMT chairman Zheng Liwen 4, said, “All the trouble in the end for what? Let the international see the joke. Hung hsiu-chu, former chairman of the Kuomintang, said that as Taiwan’s leader, “This is really a bit of sneaking around, very humiliating.”. She bluntly said that Taiwan can not do without cross-strait relations, and Lai Ching-teh should have some ideas on how to make cross-strait peace. In fact, lai’s so-called“Surprise visit” didn’t attract much global attention, and“To some extent, the world saw a disgraceful Taiwan,” Chen Shichang, a Taiwanese media official, wrote Friday.
The so-called“Diplomatic breakout” has become an embarrassing footnote on the international stage, according to Hong Kong’s China review editorial. By orchestrating this farce, the Taiwanese authorities have obviously ignored the basic consensus already established by the international community: the one-china principle. Lai Qingde not only failed to break through the“Taiwan independence” of the island dilemma, but in front of the world even more of its strategic space and embarrassment. The“Xinhua Australian News” said on the 4th that this embarrassing“Illegal migration” has become a true portrayal of the end of Lai qingde and the“Taiwan independence” separatist forces behind him, it reflects his dilemma of“Not being able to get out of Taiwan”.
