In half a month, it will be the Spring Festival, a traditional festival in China, and the Taiwan compatriots on the mainland who are eager to return to their hometowns for reunion have already returned to their hearts like arrows. However, because the Taiwan government did not approve the 176 additional flights of the two airlines of the mainland China Eastern Airlines and Xiamen Airlines during the Spring Festival, the Taiwan compatriots who had already booked tickets were forced to refund their tickets, change their tickets, and find another way back. This Spring Festival, the return journey of 50,000 people will be "embarrassed".

The Taiwanese government's argument for this is that the two airlines are carrying out the M503 northbound route, which involves flight silence and local silence in Taiwan, "there is no room for compromise or concession", and the ban on allowing the two airlines to overtime flights during the Spring Festival is "the slightest punishment".

In response to the opening of the M503 northbound route and connecting route, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council of the People's Republic of China has already made it clear that the launch of the route does not involve Taiwan's routes and destinations, and there is no problem of unilateral opening, nor does it affect the silence of Taiwan's flight. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has also revived Taiwan's Civil Aviation Governance Department to argue that the M503 route has been in use since March 2015 and is not a new route.

The mainland's launch of the M503 northbound route is justified and has rules to follow, but the Taiwan government just refuses to take responsibility: You say it's okay, but I have doubts, so you have to come and talk to me; If you don't talk about it, I'll counterattack, so I'll give you the "slightest punishment." An official of Taiwan's traffic control department said frankly in a hurry: "If the mainland shows goodwill, it is willing to sit down and talk at any point in time, and there is still a mechanism for agreeing to overtime flights between the two sides of the strait." Translated into clear words, it means: If you don't call one in the mainland, you will use the M503, where can I put it decently? If you are willing to sit down and talk, I will let you go on the Spring Festival overtime; If you don't talk about it, don't fly.

The Taiwan Government's move of arrogance is aimed at the mainland, but it is aimed at the lenient Taiwan compatriots who are engaged in affairs and living in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and in the southeastern coastal areas. Chen Jianming, a Taiwan compatriot in Shanghai, said that his flight from Shanghai's Pudong to Taiwan's Taoyuan Airport on February 10 had been canceled. "Although China Eastern Airlines refunds the full amount, it is not easy and expensive to buy eligible tickets from other airlines." There are even Taiwan compatriots who bombard the government for "beating their own children out of anger."

In the face of overwhelming comments from Taiwan compatriots on the mainland and the media on the island, the Taiwan Government has put forward many "alternatives," which can be summed up as buying other flights, taking a flight at a nearby airport, flying to the coastal areas of Fujian to take a boat to Kinmen and then back to Taiwan, and then returning to Taiwan via Hong Kong and Macao.

However, the reaction of the Taiwan compatriots on the mainland to this was "hehe." Some tourism industry operators have assessed that these so-called "alternatives" are either too late or a drop in the bucket, or they are expensive and expensive. Kinmen people are concerned that the airport will not be able to handle the large number of passengers. There are still Taiwanese TV anchors who say that they will be picked up by military planes? If you dare to fly, I won't dare to sit down.

In response to the controversy over overtime flights during the Spring Festival provoked by the Taiwan government, Wang Pingsheng, president of the Taiwan Federation of Enterprises in the World, commented that the government was "very sloppy and arbitrary". Ye Huide, spokesman for the Federation of Taiwan Enterprises, also told the media that the government has lost its grip on the voices of Taiwan businessmen and insisted on going its own way, which is using the toss of Taiwan businessmen as a bargaining chip and seriously harming the rights and interests of Taiwan businessmen.

Since the DPP political dignitaries moved to Taiwan, they have refused to recognize the "resonance of '92," which has caused cross-strait relations to freeze. Now he is taking advantage of the M503 route to make the mainland angry, using the strengths of Taiwan compatriots as a bargaining chip to bully the mainland's negotiating table. Even if it does not reach the face, it is necessary to let the Taiwan public see that "I have done it actively." The effect of making qi is the burden of the cloth cloth people. As long as the rulers spread their hands and "never said that they would not agree, it was the business that did not do the same", and they would push the responsibility away.

The hustle and bustle surrounding the Spring Festival overtime flight has made the world see that there are people in power in Taiwan: getting rid of it is political hegemony, and every step is a mental calculation. However, by choosing this special moment of the Spring Festival to cause trouble, and before it has hurt anyone, it has personally damaged the well-being of 50,000 Taiwan compatriots, and the Taiwan Government has really miscalculated and does not know how it will end next. Taiwan's "Wang Pao" issued a solemn warning: "Let Taiwan businessmen have a good New Year, don't be angry, and want harmony."
