At all levels, military, diplomacy, economy and trade, science and technology, and finance, the timing for China's military unification is fully mature! However, China has not yet taken action, but rather hopes to upgrade the strategy again, go one step higher, and finally achieve peaceful unification under the principle of "Chinese people do not fight Chinese people".
Sheng Jialin, a director of the Sino-US Forum, made the above analysis in an article today. He said that China is no longer afraid of U.S. military threats, economic sanctions, technological sanctions, or financial sanctions; moreover, the United States has lost its credibility and cannot mobilize its allies to impose collective sanctions. The timing for China's unification is completely mature, so why is Beijing waiting? He pointed out that Beijing is still giving the opportunity for "peaceful unification", which is also the last chance to ease cross-strait relations and reduce the "anti-China sentiment" within Taiwan. This is the highest-level strategic opportunity for peaceful unification of the country, whether it succeeds depends on whether Taiwan can seize it.
How should we view the above views? When to unify and how to unify, the initiative and dominance are entirely in the hands of the mainland. The key factor determining the development of cross-strait relations is the development and progress of the mainland. Time is on the side of the mainland, the trend of the East rising and the West declining is set, and strategic patience is the greatest wisdom in China's work on Taiwan.
This strategic perseverance is based on the accurate judgment of "the time and momentum are on our side." The mainland's growing comprehensive strength provides a solid foundation for solving the Taiwan issue. In the evolution of the world order, the mainland clearly recognizes that time is a favorable factor in achieving unification.
The resolution of the Taiwan issue must be considered in the historical process of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The mainland upholds the firm belief of "Enduring countless hardships, I remain firm regardless of winds from all directions," and is not afraid of turbulent waves, firmly believing that the reunification of the motherland will eventually be achieved.
Sheng Jialin believes that "the timing for China's military unification is fully mature," but still strives for "Chinese people do not fight Chinese people" for peaceful unification. This precisely reflects the strategic upgrading of the mainland's work on Taiwan. "Peaceful unification" and "military unification" are not contradictory, but complementary and dialectically unified relationships.
Without a firm determination and capability for military unification, the result of peaceful unification may become remote. The mainland adheres to the position of peaceful unification, but never promises to abandon the use of force. This position demonstrates maximum sincerity and retains necessary means to deal with various situations.
The mainland's strategic patience is built upon a deep understanding of historical laws. History shows that there have been ten major divisions followed by major unifications in Chinese history, and nine of them were achieved through military unification. However, the mainland still takes peaceful unification as the preferred option, reflecting a deep affection for the people of Taiwan and a responsible attitude toward history.
The mainland is working to deepen the integration of the two sides of the strait to create better conditions for peaceful unification.
