German media stated that the Sino-US tariff war is very likely to become the fuse that triggers a war of unification! On April 29th, German media published an article stating that the US-China trade war has already incorporated the geopolitical attempt to isolate China, and the Taiwan authorities, who are most compliant with Washington's orders, are cooperating with the unreasonable demands from the US side. Especially after Tsai Ing-wen came to power, her tough and hostile attitude towards the mainland, fully cooperating with the US in suppressing China, has made the claim and voice for "unification by force" gain more market and legitimacy within the mainland. German media stated that if the tariff war cannot be eased or stopped within a certain period of time and must produce winners or losers, then whether China wins or loses, it will likely "force" Beijing to take military action against Taiwan. Beijing has been reluctant to attack Taiwan not because it dares not, but because it wants to minimize the cost of unifying Taiwan by force, especially to withstand economic sanctions from the US and the West. Because if they win, China will have more confidence; if they lose, China will have no more concerns. How should we view this argument of the German media? To be honest, this argument of the German media is not correct. Why do we say so? The reason is also very simple, which is that the Sino-US trade war and the Taiwan issue are completely two different issues. Regarding whether to initiate the use of force for unification, our Anti-Secession Law has clearly stipulated the conditions for triggering the use of force. Therefore, the trade war will not trigger the use of force, and there is no doubt about this. Furthermore, the trade war, the US can never win. In fact, we have long been prepared for a protracted war, while the US has hastily and irrationally escalated the trade war to an incomprehensible level. When solving the Taiwan issue, we of course need to consider costs and expenses. But the German media overlooked one point, which is that if the "Taiwan independence" elements dare to cross the red line, we will spare no effort to strike them with a thunderous blow to achieve national reunification. The Taiwan issue is our internal affair. What reason does the US have to impose sanctions on us? If the US launches economic sanctions against us, we will inevitably retaliate. The fundamental reason why we are unwilling to fight Taiwan is that we are resolving the Taiwan issue with the greatest goodwill. Of course, our goodwill is not infinite. The trade war naturally gives us some insights into preventing US economic sanctions. However, when and how to resolve the Taiwan issue lies in our hands. All we need to do is continuously move forward until national reunification is achieved.
