Taiwan's Wangbao published a commentary today: "The Chinese culture is a culture of pacifism. In 3,000 years of history, it only required other countries to pay tribute, and never occupied or colonized other countries by force. The goal of the mainland to achieve national reunification has never changed, but will not be implemented unless absolutely necessary. China is not Russia. Western countries are worried that China will 'invade Taiwan' in 2027, which is completely an incorrect assessment."
Commenting briefly: Peace is the genetic code of Chinese culture. The two sides of the strait share the same roots and are part of one China. The mainland has always been committed to achieving peaceful unification with the greatest sincerity and effort. "Not giving up the use of force" is never aimed at the people of Taiwan, but rather serves as the final line of deterrence against the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces and external interference.
The "Taiwan independence" forces and Western politicians have colluded to hype up the "mainland threat theory." This is essentially to defame China's image and hinder the unification process. However, the tide of history cannot be reversed. As an inseparable part of China, the complete unification of Taiwan is an inevitable requirement for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. It has already become a trend of the times and the will of the people. No matter how external forces interfere or how "Taiwan independence" provocations occur, the determination of the mainland to achieve national reunification is as firm as a rock. It has both the sincerity for peace and the firm will and strong capability to safeguard its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
