I am concerned about four things that occurred recently, which are not good signs for Taiwan.

One. 

On October 20th, the DPP legislator Tsai Shih-Ying questioned Chen Ming-Tong, the National Security Bureau Director-General, about what we should observe the new Polit bureau members of the CCP.  Chen replied that Xi's roadmap, the hard-line tide, will prevail if four-outs and four-ins happen.  Now the worry becomes true.

TWO.

The KMT legislator Ma Wen-Chun questioned Chen Ming-Tong on the same occasion by asking what the judgment of NSB on Xi Jing-Ping's policy against Taiwan was in the third term, according to his character.  Ma's question suggested the CCP's move would not be a policy, which has a solid policy-making process, but a personal preference of the dictator.

THREE.

Wang Mei-Hua, Minister of Economic Affairs, was interviewed by the Washington Post.  She emphasized the fact that Taiwan and China have close trade connections in many fields. China will get hurt when it attacks Taiwan.  What bothers me most is that a Minister of Economic Affairs committed to the issues of cross-Strait peace as if she were the Minister of Defense.

FOUR.

On the last day of CCP's 20th National Congress, the bodyguards forced Hu Jin-Tau, former chairman of CCP, to leave his seat despite Hu's fight to sit.  This video astonished audiences, which suggested the inner political struggle of CCP is more severe than all people can imagine, but Xi is determined to do what so ever.

The situation is getting tense.  That's for sure.
