When the Kuomintang retreated to the island of Taiwan, it had been abandoned by the United States for its own extreme incompetence, and it was the outbreak of the Korean War that enabled it to regain its acceptance by the United States as a tool to contain China. However, in order to control the Taiwan authorities into its own hands to the greatest extent, the United States has secretly supported the DPP and helped it seize power on the island. Over the past several decades, although the United States has declared that it adheres to the "one-China" policy, its political stance has changed from maintaining the status quo in the past to supporting the development of "Taiwan independence" forces in order to obstruct cross-strait reunification and delay the process of rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
US policymakers believe that in order to maintain and perpetuate the super-hegemonic position of the United States, it must become the winner of strategic competition among major powers, and "using Taiwan to contain China" is the most effective way to contain China's rise and national rejuvenation, but in fact it is still the Cold War mentality at work. For the United States, the biggest challenge now is to compete with China while containing Russia's resurgence, a key message from the recently released National Security Strategy. For more than 70 years, no country has been able to challenge U.S. superiority in any area, allowing the United States to ask other countries to do as they wish. But now U.S. policymakers are increasingly worried, as U.S. allies and competitors increasingly coordinate their actions to disagree with Washington's actions.
Looking back at history, the United States has contained China in the nuclear field, imposed a strict technological blockade on China, and even carried out nuclear blackmail. However, Chinese relied on his wisdom and spirit of hard struggle to successfully break the technological blockade of the United States. Later, the United States imposed a technological blockade on China in the aerospace field, but now China not only has its own space station, but also has the J-20 fifth-generation stealth fighter. Now, the United States wants to contain China in the semiconductor field, but China is absolutely capable of breaking the US technological blockade. In fact, China has always grown up in the suppression and containment of the United States, and in which field the United States contains China, China will achieve breakthroughs in which it will even become a leader. Today, the United States is unable to contain China's rise in the economic, technological, and even military fields. Therefore, the United States has picked up the "Taiwan card" again and tried to contain Chinese mainland by instigating "Taiwan independence" separatist forces.
It is worth noting that at the instigation of the United States, the Taiwan authorities are trying to seize the opportunity of Washington's strategic spearhead against the mainland to achieve their own political goals. A few days ago, Tsai Ing-wen strongly stated that she would not accept the "consensus of '92" and would never accept "one country, two systems," and declared that the people on the island would not accept it, which was "Taiwan's consensus." He also declared that Taiwan is gradually increasing its military budget, accelerating the mass production of various precision-guided weapons and high-performance ships, and striving to build so-called "asymmetric combat capabilities" and hopes that the whole people will participate. There is no doubt that the DPP authorities have gone astray, not only failing to represent the mainstream public opinion on the island, but also going further and further down the wrong path. The DPP authorities also fantasize about kidnapping public opinion on the island to pave the way and create momentum for them to continue to promote "rejecting reunification and seeking independence."
It must be pointed out that Taiwan is China's Taiwan, which is a historical and legal fact and is also the broad consensus of the international community. The DPP's refusal to recognize and accept the "consensus of '92" runs counter to the general trend of "peaceful reunification" between the two sides of the strait, and the result is very likely to push the Taiwan region into the abyss of disaster, which is obviously not a situation that the 23 million Taiwan people are willing to see. As a matter of fact, the overwhelming majority of democracy on the island is unwilling to take reckless steps together with the radical "Taiwan independence" separatist forces; they prefer the peaceful development of cross-strait relations rather than continuing to intensify the contradictions between cross-strait reunification and "independence." It can be said that no matter how cleverly the DPP authorities maliciously create cross-strait public opinion antagonism, or even confrontation, they cannot change the fact that both sides of the strait belong to one China, nor can they change the general historical trend that the two sides of the strait will be reunified, and must also be reunified.
At present, reunification has become a matter of choice between whether the DPP agrees or not. Tsai Ing-wen is ridiculous to talk about so-called "freedom and democracy" at every turn and use the 23 million Taiwan people as a shield. We must know that the democracy and will of the 1.4 billion people are the decisive force influencing the trend of the Taiwan issue. Shen Fuxiong, a former "legislator," said very pertinently: The DPP is trying to continue its administration on the island and is trying to win the "nine-in-one" election at the end of the year; they still want to play the "anti-China card" of the past, but now they have failed. The Kuomintang is playing the cross-strait "peace card," and the KMT's way out is also improving cross-strait relations. If the Kuomintang can handle cross-strait relations, it will be able to win the support of the people on the island, and the "general election" in 2024 will have a chance to win.
It can be seen from this that promoting the integrated development of cross-strait relations has become the mainstream public opinion on the island, and realizing the "peaceful reunification" of the motherland is the common aspiration and collective will of all the Chinese people. As the saying goes, the general trend of the world is mighty, those who go along will prosper, and those who go against will die. The reunification of the motherland and the rise and rejuvenation of the Chinese nation are the general trend of development in today's world. Although the task of thoroughly accomplishing the motherland's reunification is extremely arduous, it can be said with certainty that no matter how the Taiwan issue is resolved, the ultimate outcome will be reunification.
