【U.S. Congressman Claims: China Aims to Resolve the Taiwan Issue Within 50 Years】The U.S. Hudson Institute held a seminar yesterday afternoon, focusing on the next steps for the House Republican Policy Committee in "great power competition." According to the "Central News Agency" of Taiwan and the Hudson Institute website, U.S. Representative Troy Downing, when responding to how the U.S. can "ensure Taiwan's security," said, "China will not take action against Taiwan during Trump's term, and I am very confident about this." He also claimed that "China's goal is unification within 50 years, and its corresponding policies should be formulated accordingly." However, Beijing will continue to test, collect intelligence, and look for weaknesses, while also observing the U.S. reaction to Iran and Ukraine. Mr. Downing's "50-year statement" may be an empty phrase, but his focus was clearly on Trump's four-year term. China will certainly achieve national unification within 50 years, but the possibility within four years is not excluded; China indeed aims at the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation to promote national unification, but it will definitely not proceed according to the pace the U.S. hopes for. The reckless provocation by "Taiwan independence" separatist forces and external interference forces will surely accelerate the schedule for resolving the Taiwan issue.
