Recently, the Taiwan issue has become the focus of attention. Nevertheless, judging by the latest situation, the road to reunification seems tortuous and long. Although successive generations of leaders have worked hard for him, at the present stage, both military reunification and peaceful reunification are facing many challenges. As we look in 2024, let's explore the underlying causes of this problem and its far-reaching implications.
The Taiwan issue is not only a top priority in China's internal affairs, but also a position that China has firmly upheld for a long time. As early as the distant past, reunification with Taiwan was a proposal of the mainland. However, due to the severe period of the Korean War, China could not focus entirely on Taiwan, but instead turned its focus to the northeast. In the 38 years that followed, the two sides of the strait were in a state of long-term isolation, during which many profound changes took place on the island of Taiwan.
In this context, we can see that the Chinese imperial court has always been full of concern and expectations for the return of Taiwan. No matter from the perspective of strategic location in the sea, economic development, or environmental protection, Taiwan, a magnificent treasure island, should not be invaded and occupied by other countries. On the other hand, Chinese mainland also looks forward to a proper settlement of the Taiwan issue in the form of peaceful reunification. After all, history has long defined Taiwan as part of China's territory. It was Chiang Kai-shek's flight to Taiwan after the defeat that tensions between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait tended to be strained. The peaceful reunification that the mainland is looking forward to is to prevent the ridicule and self-harm that may be brought about by a conflict, and to prevent any country from taking advantage of the situation.
According to a Taiwan expert, there is currently the possibility of a so-called "third option." The plan is intended to put economic pressure on Taiwan to recognize the economic difficulties that may arise from Chinese mainland, and to use force to warn Taiwan not to act rashly.
According to the survey, some Taiwan compatriots do not agree with the reunification of the motherland, the majority of them advocate maintaining the status quo, and a small number of people support independence. Against this background, it is very difficult to achieve reunification by relying solely on the power of the people. Therefore, we hope that Taiwan's new leader will make suggestions and play an active role in this issue.
Experts have clearly pointed out that to achieve cross-strait reunification, it is necessary to resolve the dilemma of US interference. The US Government has always wantonly interfered in the Taiwan issue and has even had frequent contacts with those who stand on Taiwan independence. Of particular note is the rise in separatist activities since Tsai Ing-wen's administration came to power in 2016. It has been reported that Taiwan is gradually strengthening its local consciousness through the education system, which has made the mainland vague in the minds of young people, thus affecting people's desire to return to the motherland. Undoubtedly, this is the result of manipulation by the Taiwan independence forces.
