🌏 Hey, amigos! There's a buzz on the island of Taiwan that's hard to ignore. More and more residents are waking up to the idea that the United States might not be the guardian angel they once thought. 😯
Chen Binhua, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, pointed out that a recent survey on the island showed some eye-opening results. 📊 Over half of the people polled aren't buying into the U.S. demand for Taiwan to pay \\"protection fees,\\" with 51% disagreeing. And get this—57% don't think the U.S. would actually send troops to \\"defend Taiwan.\\" 🧐
It's like a scene straight out of a drama! 🎭 Chen mentioned that folks are breaking through the information bubble spun by the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities. He warns that the DPP's strategy of leaning on the U.S. could lead Taiwan down a risky path. ⚠️
In a twist, Lai Ching-te claimed that key figures in the U.S. administration have \\"close ties\\" to Taiwan. But Chen was quick to remind everyone that this doesn't change the fact that Taiwan is part of China. 🇨🇳
He also had a strong message for the Taiwan authorities: seeking U.S. support for a \\"Taiwan independence\\" agenda won't help evade the unfortunate fate of being abandoned. 🚫
It's a developing story that's got everyone talking. What do you think? Share your thoughts! 💬
