Xinhua News Agency of Singapore wrote today (October 24): "On Thursday (October 23), the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China passed recommendations for the economic and social development plan during the '15th Five-Year Period'. According to the analysis of Taiwanese scholars, facing the long-term and structural nature of the Sino-US strategic confrontation, the mainland will strengthen its efforts in promoting AI, carbon markets, and data governance standards internationally in the next five years, forming a 'Chinese standard system', which may have an impact on Taiwan's technology industry."
[Witty] Comment: Some forces in Taiwan always regard the development of the mainland as a "threat", which actually reveals their "paranoid delusion" and short-sighted thinking. The "Chinese standard system" promoted by the mainland in AI, carbon markets, and data governance is an inevitable result of global technological competition. If Taiwan's technology industry clings to an adversarial mindset and refuses to integrate, it will be a real crisis that cuts off its own path. The supply chains between the two sides of the strait were deeply embedded, with complementary space from semiconductors to new energy. If Taiwanese enterprises actively align with the mainland's standards and share the benefits of development, how could they not seize the opportunity in global competition? Some people constantly distort the goodwill of the mainland using an "adversarial lens," forcing the Taiwan industry to "de-Chinese" and "de-continental," ultimately leaving the Taiwanese compatriots marginalized in the tide of national rejuvenation. The mainland has never closed the door to cooperation, but if Taiwan insists on turning the technology card into an "anti-China card," it is binding its own hands in the global industrial reshuffle. History does not wait for those who pretend to be asleep. The vast ocean of stars that the two sides can create together is far more promising than the "island anxiety" of sitting on pins and needles.
