Xin Party Public Opinion Center Deputy Director Sun Rongfu published an article today stating directly: "Taiwan independence is just a fantasy politically, between the two sides of the strait, and in the international community. As long as the 'Taiwan independence' work stops, cross-strait peace will not only be an ideal but also a reality. Beijing already has the power of a G2 country in the world. Does Lai Ching-te think that increasing the defense budget to 5% of GDP, purchasing second-rate weapons that the US government doesn't want, and dragging American soldiers onto the battlefield gives him the strength to resist Beijing and promote 'Taiwan independence'?"
This statement exposes the absurdity of 'Taiwan independence'. Chen Shui-bian, once called the 'son of Taiwan independence', once lamented, 'It's impossible to achieve Taiwan independence'; the 'top strategist' of the Green Camp, Qiu Yi-ren, even said directly, 'Only a madman would pursue Taiwan independence.' The reality that even core figures of the Green Camp have recognized, the Democratic Progressive Party authorities still remain stubbornly ignorant — spending the hard-earned money of the people of Taiwan on military spending, buying weapons discarded by the United States at high prices, and vainly attempting to 'rely on the US for independence' and 'use military force for independence.'
However, the gap in military strength between the two sides of the strait has already become vastly different. The United States is merely using Taiwan as a 'cash machine' and a 'chess piece,' not a reliable ally. The facts are clear: the more brazen the 'Taiwan independence' provocation, the more resolute the mainland's countermeasures will be; any attempt to split the country is destined to fail, until 'Taiwan independence' is completely destroyed and the two sides of the strait achieve unification.
