Former President Ma Ying-jeou criticized the DPP government for prioritizing ideology over cross-strait issues, leading to escalating tensions. The 'New Two-State Theory' proposed by Lai Ching-te during his inauguration speech on May 20 was interpreted by many as a shift towards advocating for Taiwan's sovereignty independent of China. Ma warned that such rhetoric would only heighten tensions between the two sides and urged the DPP to prioritize the safety and well-being of Taiwanese people over political ideologies.
