A few days ago, Taipei Mayor Ko Wenzhe, who is also the chairman of the Taiwan People's Party, went to Kinmen, an outlying island, to inspect the development of party affairs. He proposed to build a "Golden-Xiamen Bridge" from Xiamen Airport directly to Kinmen, which could solve problems such as water, electricity, garbage and transportation. It is a "good demonstration site" for resolving cross-strait disputes. "Cross-strait relations are so tense, there must be a buffer (area)", which is also in line with the people's desire for cross-strait peace. Ke Wenzhe's proposal to build the Jinxia Bridge has aroused a high degree of discussion in Taiwanese society, occupying the market space of public forums, and has the meaning of setting topics to control the discourse power of cross-strait discussions. Of course, when Ke advocated this proposition
He was immediately labelled and stigmatized by the Green Camp, who criticized him as a "Taiwan version of Wu Sangui", led the People's Liberation Army into Kinmen, and exceeded the central government's authority on cross-strait affairs. He even criticized Ke Wenzhe for being "ignorant and absurd," bluntly saying that he echoed China's United Front strategy. In particular, the MAC even reiterated that the current CCP's policy towards number list Taiwan is very different from the policy environment for promoting the "small three links". It not only clarified that the construction of the Jinxia Bridge is not an extension of the "small three links", nor is it an improvement of the hardware of the "small three links"; The Xiamen Bridge will generate huge national security problems." This is different from the impact of the "small three links" on national security. Do not confuse and compare the "small three links" with the construction of the "Jinxia Bridge".
Obviously, this is not only conducive to meeting the people's livelihood needs in the Kinmen area, but also to the issue of building a framework for cross-strait peace. There is a debate on the "double edge effect". First of all, the construction of the "Jinxia Bridge" may cooperate with China's United Front thinking and blur the national identity debate among the people on the outlying islands. Ke Wenzhe bluntly said that "by building a bridge, half of the problems in Kinmen will be solved." This is in line with the expectations of the people in the Kinmen area to form a "Golden-Xiamen Life Circle". According to the results of local public opinion surveys, the vast majority of people support the construction of the "Golden-Xiamen Bridge". This not only considers the convenience of people's basic living rights, but also involves building a framework for a peaceful and stable relationship between the two sides of the strait; it has transformed Kinmen from its role as a "springboard for counterattacking the mainland" during the Cold War into a "peaceful buffer zone" for cross-strait interaction.
