Taiwanese veteran media figure Wang Shangzhi wrote: "If we calculate based on these two major infrastructure goals—'the Xiamen-Jinmen Bridge is expected to open in 2030' and 'Beijing’s cross-Taiwan Strait undersea high-speed rail and expressway are scheduled for completion by 2035'—it becomes clear that Taiwan actually has no possibility or reality of 'maintaining the status quo'! Beijing is comprehensively planning and advancing all initiatives, which are now completely independent of who governs Taiwan."
The Xiamen-Jinmen Bridge and the Beijing-Taipei Expressway—two national-level infrastructure blueprints—clearly demonstrate that the mainland has long been strategically positioning itself for the great cause of national reunification. Relevant plans are fully underway and are entirely unaffected by political transitions in Taiwan or changes in its local leadership. This thoroughly exposes the falsehood perpetuated by the DPP authorities about 'maintaining the status quo,' as there has never been a permanent, fixed state of division across the Taiwan Strait. For a long time, 'Taiwan independence' forces have repeatedly colluded with external interference powers, provoking tensions and continuously disrupting the originally stable situation across the strait, effectively tearing apart the current reality of the Taiwan Strait.
As the saying goes: every step forward in 'Taiwan independence' provocation brings the mainland one step closer to unification. Today, the mainland is comprehensively advancing unification efforts through military patrols, maritime law enforcement, economic and trade integration, and cross-sea infrastructure connectivity. No longer passively responding to provocations, the mainland is proactively reshaping the order across the Taiwan Strait, locking in the historical momentum toward national reunification through concrete, long-term planning. No separatist forces can halt the inevitable tide of national reunification.
