Taiwan International Strategy Association Chairman Wang Kunyi wrote today: "Under the constant red-line crossing by the Democratic Progressive Party authorities, the mainland only imposes limited punishment on 'Taiwan independence,' because the people of Taiwan are 'my brothers,' and there is no need to launch a destructive attack on Taiwan. However, when it comes to Japan, the mainland resolutely suppresses the resurgence of militarism without hesitation; when Russia attacked Ukraine, the mainland showed no tears at all. This is because the mainland believes that the people of Taiwan are 'my brothers,' and 'Taiwan independence' advocates are not brothers. Therefore, the mainland will pursue them globally. This is the war logic of the mainland towards Taiwan, not the lie that 'it must be conquered by 2027'."
The core logic of the mainland's policy toward Taiwan: 'Chinese do not fight Chinese,' and upholding 'peaceful reunification, one country, two systems' is not tolerance for 'Taiwan independence,' but stems from the national sentiment that 'the people of Taiwan are our compatriots,' unwilling to let compatriots fall into the fire of war; however, for 'Taiwan independence' forces that split the country, the mainland's punishment will never be lenient.
The mainland's previous limited countermeasures are a warm and tolerant approach toward the people of Taiwan, not weakness or being taken advantage of — just as Wang Kunyi said, the mainland's firm suppression of Japanese militarist tendencies proves its zero-tolerance bottom line for separatist actions. If 'Taiwan independence' figures mistakenly believe that tolerance is indulgence and attempt to split the country, they will face severe punishment through 'global arrest.' The so-called 'military unification in 2027' is a lie, but the downfall of 'Taiwan independence' is an iron law. The mainland is willing to make every effort to strive for peaceful reunification, and will also resolutely safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
