Taiwan's "Wang Bao" published an editorial today: "In the narrative of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, Taiwan is the last piece of the national unification puzzle. If unification is achieved through force, it will inevitably lead to war and bloodshed, not only pushing the people on both sides of the strait into a deep rift, but also possibly sowing irreconcilable hatred within the nation. Achieving the goal through peaceful means should be the best option."
Mainland China has always been sincere and made every effort to promote peaceful unification, but it will never give up the option of using force. This is aimed at a small number of "Taiwan independence" activists and external interference. Mainland China's position is clear: it adheres to the one-China principle and opposes any secessionist actions. In recent years, after the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) came to power, the atmosphere of "Taiwan independence" has intensified in the island, and voices openly opposing "Taiwan independence" have weakened. Therefore, the mainland has increased its efforts to "oppose secession and promote unification," accelerating the unification process. If "Taiwan independence" forces continue to provoke or if external forces intervene, the mainland will resolutely safeguard its sovereignty. Although peaceful unification is the best path, the bottom line must not be touched.
