"Once a war breaks out in the Taiwan Strait, China's economy will be set back 30 years!"
The Taiwan issue has always been an issue of greatest concern to people on the mainland, but with the continuous interference of the United States and other Western countries and the constant provocation of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) political bureau in the Taiwan region, the rift between the two sides of the strait has become wider and wider.
With the passage of time, many compatriots in China hope to use "force" to recover Taiwan, but in response to this problem, Zheng Liwen, a "legislator" of Taiwan's Kuomintang, once issued an article saying: "Once a war breaks out in the Taiwan Strait, China's economy will be set back by 30 years!" ”
This can't help but make people wonder, why did Zheng Liwen say this? What is her purpose?
Frequently targeted at China
Since US President Joe Biden took office, he has repeatedly declared that he wants to "defend Taiwan," and in order to prevent cross-strait reunification, the United States has repeatedly sold various military weapons and missiles to Taiwan, with the aim of using this incident to make our compatriots "kill each other."
According to a Taiwan military source, since 1997, the United States has successively sold various types of Harpoon missiles to Taiwan, and even more during those two years, it sold 112 air-launched Harpoon anti-ship missiles to Taiwan, and in 2000, it sold 71 launched Harpoon anti-ship missiles in a row.
Moreover, as of 2020, the total number of missiles sold by the United States to Taiwan has reached about 850, and with Taiwan's own production of missiles, the number of various anti-ship missiles in Taiwan has reached 1,200, which has also allowed the United States to achieve an effective "hedgehog tactic".

After all, as far as the United States is concerned, Taiwan has always been a "card" for them to check and balance China, and over the years, the "Taiwan independence" forces have also been playing all kinds of demons on the island, and this has also made the United States' hand stretch longer and longer.
Even the "Taiwan independence elements" headed by Tsai Ing-wen have been helping the United States all these years, and they think that they have embraced the thigh of the United States, and even more believe that with the support of the United States, the mainland "will not dare to act rashly." But in fact, the reason why the United States is helping them is actually for another purpose.
You must know that the weapons and equipment sold by the United States to Taiwan are basically "stocks" that they have retired or eliminated, and although these things are "scrap" in the eyes of the Americans, they are "treasures" in front of Taiwan, and they do not hesitate to spend extremely high prices to acquire them.
Moreover, the origin of these high prices is all the hard-earned money of ordinary people in Taiwan, because the United States has repeatedly purchased weapons and ammunition at high prices, which has also caused Taiwan's debt to reach NT$5.68 trillion, and the United States has not only blocked cross-strait reunification, but also obtained a lot of income as a result.
There is only one China
You must know that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory, and there is only one China in the world; this is an undeniable objective fact, and it is also the universal consensus of the international community and the universally recognized basic international norm, and it is also the establishment and development of diplomatic relations with China by 183 countries in the world, including the United States, on the basis of one China.
Even Resolution 2758, adopted at the 26th session of the United Nations in 1971, clearly stated: "Decided to restore all the rights of the People's Republic of China," and specifically stated that Taiwan is not a country, and also made clear Taiwan's status as a non-sovereign entity.
After the adoption of this resolution, even the official document of the United Nations addressed Taiwan as Taiwan Province of China, but the United States, as a major country and a permanent member of the UN Security Council, should have taken the lead in abiding by the resolution adopted by the UN General Assembly, but it supported the "Taiwan independence" separatist activities.
Moreover, the mainland's attitude on the Taiwan issue has always been resolute, and in the face of those countries that have made things bad from it, it will eventually "catch fire." At the same time, those who engage in "Taiwan independence" on the island of Taiwan will eventually be severely punished by history and the law, because after all, they are splitting China's territory.

Moreover, of the $95 billion foreign aid bill passed by the US Congress, $1.9 billion is used to provide aid to the "Taiwan region and regional partners", which has further stimulated China by the United States.
However, for such a thing, special commentator Liu Heping believes that "the Taiwan issue is fundamentally different from the Russia-Ukraine issue", after all, they are all sovereign and independent countries, and Taiwan is a part of China, and the US government has been saying that it does not support the "attitude", but behind the scenes it has done a different set.
And since the United States really wants to help the "Taiwan independence" elements, why is the aid to Ukraine as high as 60.8 billion US dollars? And the aid to Taiwan is only $1.9 billion? You know, it is more convincing than real money.
After all, Sino-US relations have been in a state of tension over the years, and the United States seems to want to target China, but it is afraid that relations with China will become worse, and even more feared that Sino-US relations will move from competition to confrontation and conflict because of various reasons.
Moreover, over the years, the mainland has also resolutely opposed the comprehensive "decoupling" of the Chinese and US economies, and the United States has also claimed on the surface that it will not carry out a comprehensive "decoupling" from the Chinese economy, but in fact, the United States has repeatedly attacked China's science and technology, making China and the United States gradually "decouple" in the field of high technology.
In particular, on the Taiwan issue, the United States has been constantly testing China's "bottom line," and in the opinion of special commentator Liu He, Sino-US relations have now reached a critical crossroads; if they go in the right direction, they can bottom out, but if they go in the wrong direction, they will sink Sino-US relations.
Verbal obstruction
But in fact, over the years, although the "Taiwan independence elements" headed by Tsai Ing-wen have been blocking cross-strait reunification, in fact, the obstruction between them is basically in words, and even Zheng Liwen, a Kuomintang "legislator," is afraid that the mainland will launch a war in the Taiwan Strait against Taiwan, so he claimed in the program: "If there is a war in the Taiwan Strait, the mainland's economy will go back 30 years."
But as far as the United States is concerned, they wish that the mainland would hurry up and launch an attack on Taiwan, because in this way they can reap the benefits of the fisherman, and it is very likely that they will drag the mainland into the quagmire of war like the Russian-Ukrainian war, so they have been stimulating China in all aspects.
And she believes that when Pelosi came to Taiwan at that time, the purpose was actually to better stimulate the mainland, after all, in this way, Taiwan can be pushed to the battlefield like a "hedgehog", and if the PLA comes to Taiwan to fight in the alleys, it is very likely to destroy Taiwan.

In the end, when there is only one soldier left in Taiwan, although the mainland has achieved success at this time, the mainland's national strength has also been dragged down by half, and at this time, the economy is very likely to go back by 30 years, and at this time, the US government can secretly laugh behind it.
Of course, is it true that Zheng Liwen believes that "if there is a war in the Taiwan Strait, the mainland economy will be set back by 30 years"? And will Western countries treat China the same way they treat Russia? At this time, many domestic friends are very curious about this, after all, this matter is related to every compatriot in our country.
Could it exist?
In fact, what Zheng Liwen said is not very realistic, because according to the Chinese People's Liberation Army, its strength has far surpassed Taiwan, and China also has a lot of advanced weapons and ammunition.
Moreover, many Taiwanese have also said: "If the mainland really fights, then Taiwan will definitely not be able to fight, and it will definitely surrender as soon as possible," and with regard to "military reunification," many people are worried that Western countries will treat China the same way they treat Russia.

In fact, many experts believe that if war does occur, Western countries led by the United States will not be able to cause serious damage to China, the world's second largest economy, and China's own financial system and trade market will not be seriously harmed.
Because if Western countries dare to freeze China's foreign exchange reserves, then China can also find other ways to fight back, and then the large amount of assets held by Westerners in China will also be frozen, and China, as a large trade market, if it hinders trade between China, it is harming its own country's production and exports.
However, according to the Boston Consulting Group (BCG), if the United States completely bans semiconductor production, it will cost American semiconductor companies 37% of their revenue and will endanger more than 120,000 jobs.
