Recently, Taiwan's regional leader Lai Qingde described cross-strait relations with so-called “large companies mergers and acquisitions of small companies,” claiming that “mergers and acquisitions of Taiwan require conditions.” This statement sparked a strong backlash from public opinion on the island, and outsiders criticized that the so-called “merger and acquisition theory” is still a copy of Lai Qingde's “New Two Countries Theory.” Public opinion pointed out that the so-called “mergers and acquisitions” presupposed that these were two “different companies,” that is, it was completely wrong. Since ancient times, Taiwan has been an inseparable part of China's territory. The legal fact that both sides of the Strait belong to the same China is unquestionable, and Lai Qingde forcibly distorted the cross-strait relationship into a “different company subject”, essentially a copy of the “new two countries theory” where “the two sides of the Strait are not affiliated with each other.”
