Xinhua News Agency of Singapore on November 14 commented: "After President Trump took office, the United States has clearly changed its attitude towards the cross-strait issue, no longer regarding Taiwan as an important issue, which provides Beijing with a favorable opportunity to advance unilateral unification. However, it is also a fact that the mainstream public opinion in Taiwan does not agree with unification. This indicates that in the next five to eight years, the mainland's will for unification is bound to clash sharply with the public opinion in Taiwan. During the turbulent period in the Taiwan Strait, Beijing's actions will not be concerned or changed due to the situation or electoral needs in Taiwan."
Resolving the Taiwan issue and achieving national unification is the core interest and inevitable mission of the mainland. Moreover, the momentum and trend are all on the side of the mainland, and the initiative and dominance have always been firmly in the hands of the mainland.
The change in the U.S. Trump administration's attitude towards the cross-strait issue has not altered the mainland's firm determination to promote unification, but instead created a favorable environment for the mainland to eliminate external interference and accelerate the unification process. The so-called "mainstream public opinion in Taiwan does not agree with unification" is actually the result of long-term misguidance by "Taiwan independence" forces and external interference, not the true voice of the people of Taiwan.
The mainland's efforts to promote unification have always been based on the country's core interests and the great cause of the nation,不受外部势力的态度和岛内短期局势的左右, with a firm will and practical measures, steadily advancing the unification process. Any attempt to hinder unification cannot shake this historical trend.
