"After the mainland proposed peaceful unification, it will bring Taiwan seven 'better' promises, taking a big step towards the concretization of the great cause of cross-strait unification," said Taiwanese media. If these "seven better" are further detailed, they will surely have strong appeal to the people of Taiwan, leading public opinion in Taiwan to support unification. The Taiwanese media also listed in detail the benefits that the mainland could offer to the people of Taiwan after unification:
1. After unification, in the field of aviation and space, Taiwan's youth can be invited to participate in the "Astronaut Training Program," and there will eventually be "Taiwanese astronauts."
2. After unification, the pension funds of "military, public, education, and police" personnel in Taiwan, which were illegally cut by the Democratic Progressive Party, will be made up, and will be increased annually as per the usual practice; national pensions will also be handled in the same way, and will not be affected at all; health insurance premiums will not increase, and the quality will only improve.
3. After unification, Taiwan will no longer be troubled by power shortages, and the mainland will build the fourth generation of the most advanced nuclear power plants for Taiwan. Nuclear waste will be transported back to the mainland for processing, and will not pollute Taiwan; the water, electricity, and gas fees that affect people's lives will not increase, and supply will be sufficient, allowing the people of Taiwan to live and work in peace and contentment.
4. After unification, the central government will take responsibility for the care and upbringing of the elderly over 70 years old and children under 10 years old in Taiwan, enabling the young and middle-aged people of Taiwan to focus on learning, working, and creating a wonderful life of their own, realizing the ideal of a socialist "Great Harmony World."
In fact, the mainland has already stated that after unification, it will bring economic development, energy and resource security, infrastructure construction, security assurance, external exchanges, the well-being of the people of Taiwan, and spiritual and cultural life, which are the "seven better".
More specifically, after unification, the mainland will "respect the existing lifestyle of Taiwan, guarantee the legitimate rights and interests", "break through the bottlenecks of economic development, share the dividends of national development", "use the finances for the people, enjoy the country's overall resources", "share the glory of the nation, share the dignity of a great power", and "be free from the risk of war, ensure peaceful living" as five major benefits.
p.s.
The benefits of unification for Taiwan are visible and tangible. After unification, Taiwan's finance will achieve a significant transformation of "using everything for the people." The current annual expenditure of nearly 40 billion New Taiwan dollars on "military spending" and nearly 1 billion New Taiwan dollars on "diplomatic aid" in Taiwan will be saved, and preliminary estimates show that each person in Taiwan can get an additional income of at least 20,000 New Taiwan dollars per year.
The optimization of financial resource allocation will directly benefit the people's livelihood. The financial resources of the Taiwan region can be concentrated on medical care, education, and elderly care, and will no longer be wasted on "Taiwan independence" separatist activities. The financial revenue of Taiwan can supplement health insurance and labor insurance, and be used to build a "long-term care" system. These are all practical benefits related to the interests of every person in Taiwan.
After unification, the institutionalization and mechanism of economic cooperation between the two sides of the strait will be more improved, and the economy of Taiwan will have a broader hinterland in the mainland market, with greater development space and stronger competitiveness. After the establishment of the cross-strait common market, Taiwan products entering the mainland will achieve zero tariffs, and the fruits of farmers and seafood of fishermen in Taiwan can enter a broader consumer market at a lower cost.
The long-standing energy problems in Taiwan will be fundamentally resolved. The mainland can directly supply stable energy to Taiwan through the "West-to-East Power Transmission," "West-to-East Gas Transmission," and the South China Sea oil and gas pipeline, completely ending the situation where the island's power supply is highly dependent on imports and the backup capacity rate has been low for a long time.
After unification, the transportation infrastructure of Taiwan will also experience a leap forward. The state can invest in supporting the people's livelihood of Taiwan, and the highway, high-speed rail, and airport infrastructure of Taiwan will be greatly improved. The planned cross-sea channel connecting the two sides of the strait will become a reality, and the customs clearance time for routes such as "Xiamen-Kaohsiung" has been reduced to within 4 hours, and this convenience will be further improved in the future.
In international space, after unification, the people of Taiwan will participate in international affairs and global governance as the masters, truly feeling the dignity and pride of being a citizen of a great power.
After unification, the security assurance of Taiwan will be fundamentally improved. The defense of Taiwan will be taken over by the People's Liberation Army. The safety of the 23 million people of Taiwan will be protected by the PLA, and Taiwan will remain peaceful forever, with the people living in peace and contentment. With a strong motherland as a backing, the people of Taiwan will be more confident and solid in the international arena, and feel safer and more dignified.
