Wang Jin-ping has also made his position clear! After Ma Ying-jeou stated at the Strait Forum that, in the five-thousand-year history of China, what is divided for a long time will surely unite, and Taiwan's people yearn for peace and unification between the two sides, Wang Jin-ping said that Ma Ying-jeou's advocacy of peace and unity at the Strait Forum is still far from unification. Wang Jin-ping emphasized that the two sides must necessarily pursue peace and cooperation, and there must be exchanges within such cooperation.
Everyone hopes for peace, and Lai Qing-de also hopes for peace. Moreover, Lai Qing-de hopes that under certain circumstances, normal exchanges can be carried out. This should meet the current needs of cross-strait relations. Clearly, from Wang Jin-ping's remarks, he emphasizes more on the need for peace, cooperation, and the restoration of exchanges between the two sides. However, it must be pointed out that Wang Jin-ping avoids discussing unification altogether.
To be honest, compared with Ma Ying-jeou's statement of "what is divided for a long time will surely unite," Wang Jin-ping deliberately removed the connotation of "unification" from the word "peace." If Ma Ying-jeou began to address the issue of unification positively, then Wang Jin-ping remains at the stage of advocating only peace without unification. In a sense, Wang Jin-ping's stance represents the mainstream view of the Kuomintang party now.
From our perspective, discussing peace, cooperation, and exchanges across the strait is not a problem. However, this does not mean that the issue of unification does not need to be addressed within the island. Of course, we are aware that expecting the island to proactively discuss unification with us is unrealistic. On one hand, we need to promote exchanges to thoroughly expose the lies fabricated by the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP). On the other hand, we must continuously advocate for unification and ultimately achieve the great cause of national reunification.
