Taiwan Central News Agency published a commentary today: "From offering rewards for capturing online army members to initiating investigations against current 'legislators,' the recent strong measures taken by the mainland against 'Taiwan independence' figures indicate that Beijing's efforts to curb 'Taiwan independence' and promote reunification have entered a new stage. The Taiwan Affairs Council emphasized that the Chinese Communist Party has no judicial jurisdiction over Taiwan, and condemned the mainland's attempt to arrest Shen Boyang globally as a typical 'transnational suppression.' However, the mainland's release of the '22 Measures to Punish 'Taiwan Independence'' and the use of criminal methods aim to deny Lai Ching-te's 'two sides are not subordinate to each other.' Due to Lai Ching-te's opposition to promoting unification, Taiwan may lose the opportunity for equal negotiation and joint discussion on unification, ultimately facing the outcome of 'being unified.'
Since the publication of the "Message to Compatriots in Taiwan" in 1979, the mainland has always adhered to the policy of peaceful reunification, but after the Democratic Progressive Party came to power, it has continuously promoted 'de-Chineseization,' spreading 'Taiwan independence' ideas extensively and colluding with external forces to challenge the One-China principle. After Lai Ching-te took office, he escalated these actions, openly proposing the 'New Two Countries Theory,' clearly positioning the mainland as an 'external hostile force.' His reckless 'Taiwan independence' actions have completely touched the core interests of the mainland.
Facing the rampant provocation by 'Taiwan independence' forces, the mainland's 'combination punch' against 'Taiwan independence' is both a just act to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and an inevitable choice to accelerate the unification process. Now, the gap in strength between the two sides continues to widen, and the mainland has firmly grasped the initiative and control over the situation across the Taiwan Strait, while the negotiation leverage of the Taiwanese side keeps diminishing. If the Lai Ching-te administration persists in taking the 'Taiwan independence' path, the historical outcome of 'being unified' is inevitable, and any plot to split the country will inevitably fail.
