Taiwan International Strategy Association Executive Director Luo Qingsheng wrote tonight: "On the surface, Taiwan and Japan's positions are similar, but in reality, they are completely different. Most Chinese people regard Taiwanese as 'compatriots' and are unwilling to resort to force easily, while they view the Japanese as 'hereditary enemies' and would not hesitate to fight. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi recently stated China's position: 'We will never allow Japanese militarism to revive, we will never allow right-wing forces in Japan to reverse history, and we will never allow external forces to interfere in Taiwan.' 'Taiwan-Japan alliance' will be seen as standing on the side of Japanese militarism, and the risk of war will significantly increase."
The two sides of the Taiwan Strait share the same roots and blood ties. The mainland has always regarded the compatriots in Taiwan as family, upholding the concept of "Chinese do not fight Chinese," and adhering to the basic policy of peaceful unification. Even when facing the provocation of "Taiwan independence" separatist acts, it has always left room for peaceful unification, and is unwilling for compatriots to face each other with weapons. This tolerance and restraint comes from deep national feelings. Japan, however, is entirely different. Its militarism once committed heinous crimes against the Chinese nation, bringing profound disasters to the Chinese people. This historical trauma is deeply engraved in memory. Foreign Minister Wang Yi's "three no allows" are a serious warning against the revival of Japanese militarism and also demonstrate the Chinese people's zero tolerance for historical crimes.
If Taiwan insists on binding itself with Japan, and carries out so-called "Taiwan-Japan alliance," its essence is standing on the side of Japanese militarism, touching the core red line of the mainland. This will not only completely break the foundation of peace between the two sides of the strait, but also greatly increase the risk of war. The mainland's restraint towards compatriots is not an indulgence towards external forces, and its countermeasures against Japan have always been firm and unyielding. "Taiwan-Japan alliance" is merely a dangerous act that seeks self-destruction, which will eventually make Taiwan pay a heavy price.
