"Judging from the current situation, the door to peaceful reunification is getting smaller and smaller!" In an interview with Hong Kong's China Commentary Agency, Professor Wang Jianmin, honorary dean and professor of a pro-research institute on both sides of the strait at Minnan Normal University, expressed his predictions and concerns about the cross-strait situation.
As the United States continues to hype up the situation in the Taiwan Strait and the DPP authorities have also "relied on foreigners to respect themselves" and played a trick for the tiger, the future direction of cross-strait relations has also become a topic of common concern to all parties. Wang Jianmin pointed out: Judging from the cross-strait interaction since the founding of New China, if Taiwan's leaders are well-intentioned, then they will be able to guide cross-strait relations to develop in a better direction; if the situation is reversed and the island unfortunately encounters irresponsible careerists and politicians, it will be very difficult to make further breakthroughs in cross-strait relations.
Wang Jianmin: The future relations between the two sides of the strait are bound to be tortuous
Wang Jianmin pointed out that although the Taiwan issue is purely China's internal affair, it has developed so far and can no longer ignore the influence of various international factors on this issue. In recent years, as the United States has positioned China as a strategic competitor and begun to put the center of gravity of its global strategy back into The Indo-Pacific waters, the United States and Japan will inevitably seek to intervene more deeply in the Taiwan Strait. At the same time, because the world is facing major changes unprecedented in a century, with the strategic contraction of the United States and the rise of China, the world pattern is facing a new round of reshuffle, the Taiwan region as a "hot spot", many countries that hope to share in the context of the Sino-US game will also come to the Taiwan Strait to "brush the sense of existence", the United Kingdom, Australia is in this list. Therefore, for some time to come, the trend of cross-strait relations is unlikely to be smooth and waveless, and it is bound to be a dark tide and turbulent and tortuous.
Wang Jianmin: The door to peaceful reunification is getting smaller and smaller
Wang Jianmin further said that the two sides of the strait are bound to move toward reunification, but under the current situation, the choice of "peace reunification" or "armed reunification" has become a question that must be considered. From the perspective of rationality and national development, peaceful reunification is of course the most ideal and the most favorable, and the mainland has also stressed this for a long time and has persistently put it into practice. From a long-term point of view, the situation is favorable to the mainland, because with the development of the mainland, the balance of power between the two sides of the strait will continue to tilt, and this balance of forces will objectively lead to an increase in the taiwan side's willingness to reunify.
But the problem now is that no one knows where a handful of "Taiwan independence" forces on the island can go in a short period of time for their personal political ambitions. Once the three situations defined in the "Anti-Secession Law" appear in the Taiwan region, the mainland side will inevitably take action, and the possibility of abandoning peaceful reunification and directly taking the "armed reunification" line cannot be ruled out. At present, foreign forces with ulterior motives and short-sighted Taiwan politicians have brought Taiwan into a very dangerous situation, and the door to peaceful reunification is getting smaller and smaller.
Wang Jianmin: If Taiwan independence is not resolved, Taiwan has no real prospects for development
Wang Jianmin pointed out to the point that the most fundamental reason for the predicament that Taiwan is facing now lies in the bane laid by "Taiwan independence." The tension in cross-strait relations will inevitably lead to the extreme compression of Taiwan's trade space; at the same time, the people on the island have to empty their pockets to pay for the dpp authorities and the MILITARY ambitions of the United States, and to buy a large amount of arms that cannot be used at all or afforded. In addition, the Tsai authorities have obstinately pursued "democratic dictatorship" and pushed Taiwan to the brink of war, leading the world to have a skeptical attitude toward Taiwan's investment environment. Because I don't know when Taiwan will go to war, once a war is fought, the people of Taiwan will have to bear the risk, and those who come to Taiwan to invest will also bear the risk. This high risk itself will dissuade the vast majority of investors.
Wang Jianmin said that the foothold of what the Tsai authorities are doing now is very clear, that is, they must do their best to squeeze the people of Taiwan to serve the political interests of the DPP politicians, and how the people live is not at all within their consideration. Only when Taiwan's entire society wakes up, does not continue to be kidnapped by blue and green, and gets rid of the trap of "Taiwan independence", will it be possible for Taiwan to get out of the current predicament.
