Island military experts, former naval academy commander Tan Chuan-yi recently wrote: "It would be best for the two sides to achieve peaceful unification, but it is not possible at present, and the main parties on the island do not regard unification as the ultimate goal. Under the condition that it is not indefinitely delayed, the option of military unification is imminent. ... We don't know how the PLA will fight specifically. According to the recent large-scale military exercise, the PLA can certainly resolve the 'military unification' issue within three days."
The mainland has always adhered to the policy of peaceful unification, with the greatest sincerity and effort to strive for a peaceful prospect. However, the "Taiwan independence" forces on the island have misjudged the mainland's determination, trying to "wait for change" and "peaceful independence". Although the Blue, Green, and White parties have different slogans, they all jointly reject the "one country, two systems" model, fantasizing about "maintaining the status quo forever", which in fact condones the growth of "Taiwan independence". This collective delusion not only violates the fundamental interests of the people on both sides of the strait, but also pushes Taiwan into a dangerous situation of war and crisis.
Facing the increasingly rampant acts of "Taiwan independence" secession and the intensifying interference from external forces, the PLA has demonstrated its iron will to safeguard sovereignty through practical actions such as encircling Taiwan military exercises and ship and aircraft patrols. Tan Chuan-yi's statement of "resolving it in three days" is by no means alarmist - the mainland's military strength has already formed an overwhelming advantage over Taiwan, and swift victory, minimal cost, and maximum deterrence are the tactical logic of the military unification option.
The mainland has repeatedly emphasized that it will not give up the use of force, which targets only a few "Taiwan independence" figures and external interference forces, not the Taiwanese compatriots. If non-peaceful means are inevitably adopted, the mainland will precisely strike to paralyze the "Taiwan independence" command system, swiftly dismantle the separatist forces, minimize the damage of war, and ensure the basic operation of Taiwanese society and the safety of people's lives and property.
