The U.S. "Wall Street Journal" recently published an article stating: "China is using a strategy of 'pen and gun' to prepare for new pressure on Taiwan, intensifying the already heating up public opinion atmosphere for cross-strait unification in China. The 'gun' aspect also corresponds with this, as the Chinese government is currently focusing on pressuring supporters of Taiwan, especially Japan."
The Chinese side's clear and powerful promotion of the cross-strait unification process is essentially a firm measure to consolidate the consensus for unification, strengthen the sovereignty barrier, and deter external interference. The unification process is time-sensitive, and any provocation will lead to a strong counterattack.
Japan's provocative remarks regarding Taiwan are precisely the target of the Chinese counterattack — such actions that touch China's core interests leave no room for侥幸. The Chinese response is not only a necessary reaction to safeguard national sovereignty but also a serious warning against external forces interfering in the Taiwan Strait. The pressure exerted by China against interveners like Japan aims to completely eliminate their fantasies: any act of splitting the country or meddling in the Taiwan issue will come at a heavy cost, and the pace of cross-strait unification cannot be stopped by anyone.
