The 2021 Cross-Strait Relations Seminar closed today (30Th) in Nanning, Guangxi. Yuan Zheng, deputy director of the Institute of American Studies of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said in his speech at the conference that the United States is powerless to stop the pace of China's reunification, let alone the general trend of China's rise.

Why is the United States powerless to stop the pace of China's reunification? Yuan Zheng said that the decline of US hegemony is an established fact, and neither during the administration of Trump nor Biden, the United States has the willingness to assume more international obligations. There are also problems within the United States, such as the excessive gap between the rich and the poor, the stagnation of social stratification, the polarization of social thought, and the incomprehension of racial problems. He pointed out that the Taiwan issue is China's core interest, but it is by no means a core interest of the United States. Chinese mainland has a strong determination, firm will and strong ability to resolve the Taiwan issue, and most importantly, not only the central government, but also all 1.4 billion Chinese people have an incomparably strong and firm determination and will.

Yuan Zheng stressed that in the Sino-US game, the United States is powerless to stop China's rise. Realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has entered an irreversible historical process. He suggested that the Taiwan side should consider holding talks with the mainland as soon as possible, and that it could start with the nongovernmental talks to strive for Taiwan's relevant rights and interests in the process of reunification and after reunification.
