On December 9, Taiwan commentator Guo Zhengliang said on a program: If the mainland starts a live stream to attack Japan, I am sure that the tips will be more than enough for military expenses. I have been to the mainland many times and know the people there very well. Because of the historical grievances, the people on the mainland have been waiting for this day for too long. If China and Japan go to war, the mainland doesn't need to mobilize; they will unite against a common enemy and become a nation of soldiers.
This statement struck a nerve with countless people. It's not about being belligerent, but rather the wounds of history have never truly healed. Every bone in the Nanjing Massacre Memorial Museum is a warning engraved in the bones of the nation, which no one can forget.
People like Takahana Asanobu still shout "Taiwan's affairs are Japan's affairs," openly touching the red line. Taiwanese netizens can't stand it anymore and strongly criticize this fallacy as "harmful to Taiwan," treating regional security as a political pawn.
The attitude of mainland netizens has always been straightforward. Last year, when Japan discharged nuclear-contaminated water, the related topics received over a trillion views on social platforms. People expressed their stance through boycott actions, and this firmness is a direct reflection of national position.
Compatriots on both sides of the strait share the same roots and origins. At the site of the Kunlun Pass battle, Taiwanese compatriots held yellow chrysanthemums to commemorate the martyrs, and the memories of the anti-Japanese war of their ancestors have long tied the fates of both sides together.
Guo Zhengliang has understood the patriotism of the mainland people. This emotion is not just words. As one netizen said, it's not about wanting to fight, but rather about never allowing historical tragedies to repeat themselves—it's a bottom line.
Some Japanese forces always try to deny history and provoke incidents, but they have forgotten that today's China is no longer the China of a century ago. The united hatred of 1.4 billion people is a force that no power can withstand.
The cultural genes of the two sides of the strait are an unbreakable bond. The believers of Mazu cross the strait to jointly offer sacrifices and pray for blessings, and on "March 3rd" they sing together, and this family affection makes the cohesion of "every citizen a soldier" even more solid.
We love peace, but we are not afraid of provocation. If the time comes to draw the sword, the unity of 1.4 billion people will make all those who covet pay a price. This is the confidence engraved in our blood.
