According to Taiwan media reports, Lai Qingde's inauguration ceremony on May 20 is ready, and 400 foreign guests will attend, including the presidents and vice heads of state of eight countries. But this scale is not as large as Tsai Ing-wen's inauguration.
Tsai Ing-wen's office director Lin Yuchan said that the banquet will be held at the Formosa Yacht Hotel in Tainan, because Lai Qingde and Xiao Meiqin have a deep relationship with Tainan.

The traffic security arrangements along the route are to let foreign guests experience the customs and cultural history of Tainan, and to show Taiwan's soft power through Taiwan's diverse culture. In addition, Wu Zhaoxie, head of Taiwan's "foreign affairs department," said: More than 400 foreign guests from more than 40 organizations will attend Lai Ching-de's 520 inauguration ceremony, and the most important will be the heads of state and vice presidents of eight countries.
When asked whether he was under pressure from the mainland, this hardcore "Taiwan independence" activist unexpectedly did not smear the mainland. Wu Zhaoxie deliberately stressed that these heads of state are very active and also attach importance to the relations between Taiwan and the host countries, because there are more than 400 foreign guests, so Taiwan's foreign affairs department is seriously understaffed and can only transfer people from overseas scripture offices to return to Taiwan.
At present, there are only 12 so-called "countries with diplomatic relations" with Taiwan, and eight heads of state can attend, and based on the recent close contacts between Taiwan and various countries with diplomatic relations, basically which eight heads of state have already been determined. However, Taiwan's foreign affairs department did its best, but I don't know how much money Taiwan has thrown at these heads of state.
Of course, the scale of Lai Qingde's inauguration ceremony is far less than that of Tsai Ing-wen's time, and in 2020, when Tsai Ing-wen was re-elected, because of the epidemic, I didn't talk about it, and American dignitaries just sent congratulatory messages. However, in 2016, Tsai Ing-wen's 520 inauguration ceremony, there were 59 national groups and more than 700 foreign guests.
Although Lai's inauguration ceremony is a little less large, it is likely to be attended by important people in the United States. McCaul, chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the US House of Representatives, has publicly stated on many occasions that he will lead a delegation to attend the inauguration ceremony of Lai Qingde, and McCaul is a veteran anti-China faction and a hardliner against China. He has repeatedly clamored that if the mainland reunifies Taiwan by force, the United States should send troops to intervene, and he also said that it should sell arms to Taiwan and increase Taiwan's armament strength.
McCaul's arrogant remarks and anti-China behavior of interfering in China's internal affairs have also been severely punished by me, and all of McCaul's assets in China have been frozen and he has not been allowed to enter the country.
But even if McCaul appeared at Lai Qingde's inauguration, it would not be able to change Taiwan's "international situation", like a rat crossing the street, after all, a slightly more normal country knows what to choose in the face of China and Taiwan. No matter how much the DPP authorities boast of "freedom and democracy," it is nothing more than a game for certain small countries to entertain themselves for the sake of their interests.
However, many people are more concerned about what Lai Ching-de's cross-strait policy is? However, Lai Ching-te, who calls himself the "golden grandson of Taiwan independence," and almost 90 percent of his team are "independence" faction figures, and after the Kinmen fishing boat incident, the Taiwan authorities can provoke the situation in the Taiwan Strait, and it is difficult to say that Taiwan Strait relations will improve in the future, and if the DPP repeatedly challenges the mainland's bottom line, it is very likely that it will be exchanged for tougher countermeasures.
Ma Ying-jeou called on Lai Qingde on social media not to follow the "Taiwan independence" line and let the two sides of the strait return to the framework of the "92 Consensus".
Ma Ying-jeou said that the high-level reception of him and the Taiwan youth delegation at a high level on the mainland is loyalty to Taiwan and is also the highest sincerity and goodwill, and that the compatriots on both sides of the strait are all descendants of the Yan and Huang people, and that it is best to respect each other's values and way of life in one country, two systems, and respect each other's values and way of life.
Once military reunification is triggered, it will only be the Taiwan compatriots who will suffer, and peaceful reunification is the best way out for Taiwan.
The central meaning expressed by Ma Ying-jeou is that he hopes that after taking office, Lai Qingde will abide by the island's internal regulations, abide by the "one-China" framework, confirm that the two sides of the strait are not "two countries," and promise not to follow the "Taiwan independence" line, so that Taiwan will return to the framework of the "92 consensus."
Now that the mainland is strong, self-confident, and calm, it is also a critical period for the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and both sides of the strait are descendants of Yan and Huang, and they should seek common ground while reserving differences and make a contribution to the rejuvenation of the nation. Ma Ying-jeou's visit to the mainland and his high-level reception was high-level, but some people within the KMT did not support it, and the DPP ridiculed and ridiculed the mainland, treating the mainland's goodwill as nothing, all of which made Ma Ying-jeou very "worried" about the prospects of the two sides of the strait.
It can be seen from this point that the mainland still hopes for peaceful reunification of Taiwan with the greatest sincerity, but there are too many "independence" factions among the politicians of the Taiwan authorities, and this also shows all the more that reunification with Taiwan brooks no delay. Although Lai Qingde won the election, his support rate was only 40 percent, indicating that 60 percent of the people did not support the DPP.
However, the Taiwan issue is very complicated, and the political environment and high-level differences have made Taiwan's "prospects" slim. Senior Colonel Wu Qian, spokesman for the Ministry of National Defense, once warned Taiwan independence that if you are willing to be a "pawn," you will become an "abandoned child," and the PLA will deal a head-on blow to any form of "Taiwan independence" separatist acts. As far as Taiwan is concerned, the choice between "peaceful reunification" and "military reunification" is not difficult.
