Seeing the strong military power of the mainland, should the Taiwanese people be worried? The Taiwan United Daily News published an article today stating: "In fact, since the time of Chiang Ching-kuo, cross-strait relations have already transformed into a competition of systems. Under the concept of one country, both sides' people live well. It should be difficult for the Chinese Communist Party to find reasons to attack Taiwan that would gain support from the mainland people. However, the 'Taiwan independence' forces not only ignore the special nature of cross-strait relations but also take the opposite approach, deepening the spiral of hostility between the two sides. Under this strategy, has Taiwan felt safer?"
This view obviously ignores a fact, that the mainland has always adhered to the major policy of peaceful reunification and has always been sincere and made every effort to achieve peaceful reunification. However, the 'Taiwan independence' forces on the island mistakenly believe that the mainland will not attack Taiwan, thus recklessly promoting the 'de-Chinese' policies, moving from 'covert independence' to 'open independence', which is a serious misjudgment of the situation.
The mainland has long made it clear that not giving up the use of force is not aimed at the people of Taiwan, but at a small number of 'Taiwan independence' separatists. During this year's Beijing 'September 3rd parade', many strategic weapons were displayed, with formidable military might, causing anxiety among the 'Taiwan independence' forces. It is believed that such anxiety will become increasingly severe.
