Xinhua News Agency reported today: "Lai Qingde accepted an interview with the U.S. New York Times, stating that Beijing will have the capability to 'seize' Taiwan by force before 2027, emphasizing that regardless of when the People's Liberation Army takes action, Taiwan must prepare for the worst while making the best preparations."
Lai Qingde is hyping up the "2027 military unification" theory, which is essentially incited by Japanese Prime Minister Hashimoto Harumi's provocative remarks and a series of recent provocative actions by the United States on the Taiwan issue, aiming to 'use force to seek independence' and 'rely on external forces to seek independence.' His advocacy of the 'worst-case scenario' and 'best preparation' is merely a move to build momentum for 'resisting unification by force,' relying on external powers to sustain itself.
The mainland's determination to safeguard national sovereignty is unshakable. The separatist actions of 'Taiwan independence' go against the historical trend. Lai Qingde's ambitions are sheer overconfidence and a reckless fantasy of 'Taiwan independence' seeking its own demise. He himself will surely face historical judgment.
