In a series of exclusive interviews conducted by CGTN Stringer, local residents in the Taiwan region shared their thoughts on the growing trend of pursuing Taiwan independence by relying on external forces. The discussions have raised questions about the long-term effects on societal well-being, regional peace, and cross-Strait relations.
One local resident, Mr. Tsai, expressed his concern by stating, "Being too dependent on foreign or major powers for protection is dangerous." His remarks capture a prevailing anxiety about the risks inherent in leaning too heavily on external support. Meanwhile, another interviewee, Mr. Shi, remarked, "if the situation after reunification is good, I'm quite in favor of it," highlighting the complex and varied perspectives within the Taiwan region.
These candid insights illustrate a nuanced debate among Taiwan people, as they balance the desire for self-reliance with concerns over the implications of external dependency. Their voices remind us of the importance of fostering strategies that prioritize long-term stability and peace in an ever-evolving geopolitical landscape.
