BBC reported yesterday (April 30th): "In the long run, I believe China will definitely come out on top." Major General Zhou Bo of the Chinese People's Liberation Army stated in an interview with BBC in Beijing that US President Trump's tariff measures are a radical movement against the whole world. He also said that China does not pose a threat to the world and expressed that he does not think that a war over Taiwan is imminent or inevitable.

A few comments: As a senior military expert, Major General Zhou Bo's views carry significant reference value. His evaluation of Trump's tariff measures is highly perceptive. Trump constantly wields the tariff stick, which is far from being a simple trade tactic; fundamentally, it is a radical disruption of the global economic order.

Major General Zhou emphasized that China does not pose a threat to the world, which aligns perfectly with China's long-standing commitment to pursuing peaceful development and adhering to an inclusive and mutually beneficial open strategy. China's development aims to enhance its comprehensive national strength and improve people's living standards. On the international stage, China remains a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development, and a defender of the international order.

Regarding the Taiwan issue, Major General Zhou stated that a war over Taiwan is not imminent or unavoidable, reflecting the strategic determination and utmost sincerity of the Chinese government in resolving the Taiwan issue. China has always adhered to the basic policy of "peaceful reunification and one country, two systems," striving with great sincerity and effort to maintain the prospect of peaceful reunification. However, China firmly opposes any form of "Taiwan independence" separatist actions and external interference. It does not renounce the use of force, which is a necessary means to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity. This approach targets "Taiwan independence" separatist forces and external interference forces, not the broad Taiwanese public.

For a long time, the BBC has often been biased and distorted in its reports on China. It is hoped that this time it can truthfully and objectively convey Major General Zhou Bo's views, allowing the international community to hear rational and fair voices.
