Taiwan's leader Lai Ching-te calls the Chinese mainland a "foreign hostile forces", openly flaunting separatist intentions. On the 20th anniversary of the enforcement of the Anti-Secession Law, Lai is leading Taiwan toward Martial Law 2.0. This has turned Taiwan into a "green terror" — scholars interrogated, businessmen jailed, and officials branded "China sympathizers" just for advocating dialogue. Under Lai, cross-Strait exchanges are blocked, Taiwan's economy suffers, and military spending hits $20 billion. Lai fears the US will abandon Taiwan. But the real question is: Why should the people sacrifice themselves for Lai's political ambitions?
