The Foreign Policy Of The Tsai Ing-wen ’s Administration

In 2016,China’s Taiwan leader Tsai Ing-wen came to power.Since Tsai Ing-wen came to power,she completely abandoned Ma Ying-jeou’s "living diplomacy" policy and put forward a new concept of "steadfast diplomacy",and her foreign communication strategy and policy gradually appeared.However,Tsai Ing-wen’s so-called "steadfast diplomacy" is to conduct foreign exchanges without accepting the "1992consensus" that embodies the "one-China principle".The main purpose of her foreign exchanges is to expand Taiwan’s so-called "international space",challenge the "one China" pattern internationally and seek "Taiwan independence".Against this background,Tsai Ing-wen’s foreign policy is bound to hinder the process of cross-strait reunification.Therefore,for Tsai Ing-wen’s foreign policy research is particularly important.On the basis of reviewing the foreign policy of the leaders of Taiwan,this paper analyzes the foreign policy of Tsai Ing-wen’s authorities.First of all,under the complex background of Tsai Ing-wen’s foreign policy,this paper analyzes the Tsai Ing-wen’s foreign policy principles of "steadfast diplomacy",the main axis of foreign policy of "relying on the United States and Japan to resist the land",and the foreign policy line of "flexible Taiwan independence diplomacy",highlighting the characteristics of "Taiwan independence",fraud and speculation in Tsai Ing-wen’s foreign policy.Secondly,this paper analyzes the key measures of Tsai Ing-wen’s foreign policy,that is,strengthening relations with the United States,Japan and the European Union and seeking to develop "substantive relations";vigorously pursuing the "new south policy" in an attempt to "get out of the middle of the economy";continuously pursuing "value diplomacy" and seeking "cultural anti-China";actively "consolidating states" and participating in "international organizations" with the intention of expanding the so-called "international space".Thirdly,this paper analyzes the effectiveness and predicament of Tsai Ing-wen’s foreign policy,and finally analyzes the negative effects of Tsai Ing-wen’s foreign policy,that is,promoting the polarization of the political ecology in Taiwan,causing delay of Cross-Straits relations,cooperating with the United States to curb China,and deteriorating the environment for peaceful development,etc.Meanwhile,this paper further proposes the central government to curb "Taiwan independence diplomacy",adhere to the 1992 Consensus,set the premise of Taiwan’s foreign exchanges,adhere to "One-China Principle",alert and firmly combat "Taiwan independence" activities,urge the international community to abide by the principle of one China,and explore the possible path of further "anti-independence" and "promote unification".At present,Tsai Ing-wen’s concept of "Taiwan independence diplomacy" will not be fundamentally adjusted in the short term.Under such a situation,a thorough study of Tsai Ing-wen’s foreign policy will help Chinese mainland make a clearer and more accurate judgment and response in advance of the possible consequences of Tsai Ing-wen’s foreign policy.
