【大纪元2021年03月23日讯】我察觉到一个新的台湾共识(最大公约数)正在成形,而且已经接近完成。虽然许多人还没意识到这点,也还有一些人尚处在无感、或虽然有感但心理上拒绝的阶段。
这新共识可以用三个元素的一句话来总结:反共、去统、不反中国平民。三元素环环相扣,构成了一个具有主旋律的直白命题:那些已经把台湾视为自己家乡的人,已经把台湾当成一个与他方无涉的主体。
为了让人们充分理解这三元素的意义,需要做一些进一步阐释。我们这就开始。
1. 反共。台湾其实并没有那么反对自由的社会主义;事实上,台湾社会本身在日常生活型态中就含有明显的自由社会主义的痕迹。但是,台湾绝不会容忍社会主义精神脱序到共产主义的地步。若然,那种社会主义就是敌人,没有讨论的余地。台湾海峡彼岸的中国共产党(CCP),就属于这一类。
2. 去统。在台湾,不但老一辈了解中共天天挂在嘴边玩弄的“统一”,只不过是其用来维持政权、控制已经被洗过脑平民的一种虚伪口号,而年轻一辈只会以荒谬视之。
因而,此处并没有用过去的“反统”一词,而是用“去统”,表示了一种将“统一”概念彻底由脑中去除的意思。就像“大扫除”的意思一样,老早就该扔掉的东西就把它扔掉。
3. 不反中,指的是对中国平民保持中性的态度。过去三年间,包括我自己以及国际舆论,已经破除了那个存在已久的迷思——中共CCP就等同中国。情况根本不是这样的。
中共不等同中国,更不用说等同中国人民了。中共是一个具有9千8百万党员的巨大政党,但那只是住在那块土地上的14亿人当中的7%。
简单的算数就可以呈现真相。对任何国家,如果仅占7%的人口可以在政治上完全控制100%的人口,唯一的可能就是实施残酷暴力或通过暴力改变人的头脑。
中国平民本身就是受害者。其它的国家,不应该膝盖反应式的把受害者视为天生就是邪恶的。因此,无论在心态上还是现实地缘政治考虑下,台湾社会都应该把“必反”这词留给共产党而不是受害的平民。
这才是台湾的最大公约数。然而,为了选票的政治人物及民调机构拖累了台湾。每年每月的民调都在问早已失效的问题:你偏蓝还是偏绿?你赞成独立还是统一?
这种自我设限或自我审查的问法,使得其它国家以为台湾是个分裂社会。
台湾这种导致外人认为台湾是个分裂国家的做法,实在愚蠢。如果问的问题对,台湾是没有分裂的。例如,如果将“你赞不赞成独立”改为“你反共不反共”,结果肯定是98%以上。
若问“你是反中国共产党还是反中国老百姓”,前者不会低于80%,后者不会高于20%。
第三个问题:“你愿不愿意被共产党统治”,保证结果是99.9%的“不愿意”。
这就是新台湾共识、社会的最大公约数,应该向世界大声、清楚、不含糊地说出来。
不信的话,可以用上述问题做几次民调。而且我保证,在不久的将来,所有民主国家都会端出类似“台湾共识”的政策原则。
所以,台湾为什么不这样做呢?这可是台湾展示世界政治领导力的机会啊!◇

The True Common Denominator of Taiwan
I sensed a New Taiwan Consensus is forming and near completion, although many are still not fully aware of it, some at the psychological stage of ignoring it and some even in total denial .
This New Consensus can be summarized in one expression with three parallel elements: opposing communism, de-unification and neutralness toward Chinese civilians. These three elements constitute an organic whole with a common theme that simply says, people who took Taiwan as their home deemed themselves as one distinct entity .
I understand some elaboration may be needed to allow the three elements to be fully appreciated, especially the third one. Let me begin.
1. Opposing Communism – Taiwan is not that much against liberal socialism. In fact,there is a rather obvious strain of it already existing in its social life. However, Taiwan would not tolerate socialism when carried away to the extent of communism, and would take it as enemy. Period. Chinese Communist Party (CCP) on the other end of the Strait falls into this category.
2. De-Unification – Not only do the older generations realize that the jingling of “unification” of the CCP is just a bogus slogan for upholding its regime’s control over the brain-washed civilians, the young generation of Taiwan simply finds the slogan ridiculous. Therefore, rather than using the term “anti-Unification” as people used to do in the past, I think “De-Unification” – the unshackling of the very idea of unification, as one can relate with the word “de-clutter”- is a better suited term.
3. Neutralness towards Chinese Civilians – In the past three years, people in Taiwan including myself, as well as the international community, have debunked the long-existed myth that CCP Is China. No, far from it. CCP is NOT equivalent to China, let alone the Chinese people. CCP is a huge party of 98 million members and that accounts for only 7% of the 1.4 billion Chinese people living on that landmass.
Simple math would tell the truth. In any nation, when 7% of the population politically controls 100% of the population, it would be an impossibility unless by brutal violence or total brain coercion.
Therefore, considering the Chinese civilians are victims themselves, people from other parts of the world should not act in a knee-jerk way towards the ordinary, victimized Chinese Civilians as if they are born evil. Either under a proper mindset or the practicality associated with geopolitics, Taiwanese society should and is starting to understand this point. “Anti-“ is an attitude reserved for CCP and not intrinsically for the ordinary and mostly victimized civilians.
Putting together the above three Elements, thus there is the New Taiwan Consensus. What’s falling behind and dragging Taiwan’s feet, are the ballot-hungry politicians and the various outdated polling agencies. They do so many so-called popular surveys every year, sometimes monthly. And they stick to the long invalid way of setting up their survey questions: Are you favoring Green (DPP) or Blue(KMT)? Are you pro-independent or Pro-unification?
This kind of self-confined or self-censored surveys leave other nations the impression that Taiwan is a split society, Green or Blue, Independence or unification etc.
It’s such a foolish thing to do for Taiwan itself misleading outsiders into deeming Taiwan as a split country. There is absolutely no split should the right questions be asked in the surveys. For example, had the question been changed from “Are you pro-independence or anti-independence” into “Are you pro-communism or anti-communism”,then the result would have been a clear-cut 98% or even 99.5% towards “anti”.
Now, try this further question: “Are you anti-Chinese Communist Party, or anti-Chinese common people”, my guess is the former gets at least 80% and the latter gets 20% at most.
The third question: “Would you be willing to live under the Communist Rule”? That would guarantee a resounding NO answer of 99.9%.
This is exactly how the New Taiwan Consensus looks like – the true common denominator among a seemingly divided Taiwan. And the New Taiwan Consensus should be articulated to the rest of the world, no vagueness, no grey area and unambiguously.
For any surveyor or politician who still has doubts about this New Taiwan Consensus, he or she can just conduct new surveys with questions suggested as above. And, I myself am convinced, in a not-so-distant future, all democratic countries on the planet would issue national policies based on guidelines similar to the New Taiwan Consensus, for the goodness of their respective countries.
So, Hey, Taiwan! Why not put a thrust on this Taiwan Consensus to the world by publicizing it unambiguously and show some political leadership, just for once?
