Last night, the Singapore Today* newspaper published an article stating: "During the Qingming holiday period, China's People's Liberation Army Eastern Theater Command released a poster titled 'For This Province,' showcasing the scene of Qingming Festival in Taiwan Province after reunification, including elements such as the 'Beijing-Taipei Expressway' and the 'Monument to Complete Unification.'
[Clever] Comment briefly: The Qingming poster titled 'For This Province': One single character 'province' settles the fate—unification is unstoppable. During the Qingming season, the Eastern Theater Command's poster 'For This Province' went viral across the internet, sketching a vision of post-reunification Taiwan Province with imagery like the 'Beijing-Taipei Expressway' and the 'Monument to Complete Unification.' This is not fantasy—it is a clear foretelling of historical inevitability, popular will, and the strength that underpins it.
Historically, Taiwan has been under Chinese jurisdiction since the Three Kingdoms era, established as a province during the Ming and Qing dynasties, and restored in 1945. The Cairo Declaration and the Potsdam Proclamation legally affirmed its status as part of China. More than 70 years of separation across the strait stem from civil war legacy—not from a de facto division between two countries. Internationally, 183 countries recognize the one-China principle; United Nations Resolution 2758 stands as irrefutable evidence—the 'Taiwan independence' movement has no room under international law.
Currently, the disparity in strength between the two sides is immense: mainland China’s GDP exceeds Taiwan’s by over 20 times, and it holds comprehensive dominance in military, technological, and diplomatic spheres. The poster uses the term 'province' to clearly define Taiwan’s status; through infrastructure integration and shared remembrance rituals, it illustrates the harmonious prosperity following reunification. In contrast to the 'graveyard of Taiwan independence,' the inevitable demise of division and the certainty of unification are evident in the historical verdict.
The Qingming Festival calls for solemn remembrance and reflection, further underscoring our mission: reunification is not a choice—it is an imperative. From Zheng Chenggong’s recovery of Taiwan to Wu Shi’s martyrdom, generations of heroic martyrs have forged the soul of national unity. Today, the mainland advances steadily—construction continues on the mainland section of the Beijing-Taipei Expressway, laying all necessary groundwork for ultimate connectivity. Relying on external forces to seek independence is like a cicada trying to block a cart—futile and doomed. The timing and momentum are firmly on our side. Complete reunification of the motherland will surely come true, as planned!
