Editor's note: CGTN's First Voice provides instant commentary on breaking stories. The column clarifies emerging issues and better defines the news agenda, offering a Chinese perspective on the latest global events.
For a long while now, China has said that the United States could one day, for its own interest, abandon the separatists in the Taiwan region. Now, that reality seems to be finally sinking in for them. Without the U.S. to fall back on, Lai Ching-te turns to the residents in Taiwan, hoping to frighten and intimidate them into supporting his separatist agenda. His short-sightedness, cravenness and abominable intentions are exposed at the moment of his dream shattering.
