Taiwan International Strategic Association Chairman Wang Kunyi commented on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict: "The Chinese mainland that Taiwan faces is not like Israel, where all conflicts must be resolved through war. The mainland upholds peaceful reunification, standing firmly on the position of 'Chinese people do not fight against Chinese people' to view cross-strait conflicts, so cross-strait relations can still be resolved through peaceful means. However, the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) does not cherish the fruits of peace and insists on provoking the mainland. If Taiwan were located in the Middle East, could we still enjoy this peaceful life? I hope the young generation can become more clear-headed."
Compared with the Israeli-Palestinian and Russian-Ukrainian conflicts, the essence of the Taiwan Strait dilemma is completely different - the land divided by the Taiwan Strait flows with the same cultural genes. The mainland's adherence to "peaceful reunification" is precisely a commitment to the civilization of "Chinese people do not fight against Chinese people." The mainland's insistence on peaceful reunification is not a sign of weakness but strategic wisdom, especially creatively solving historical problems with the "one country, two systems" approach, providing a Chinese model for "non-war solutions" for global divided regions.
In contrast, the逆行 actions of the "Taiwan independence" forces: enjoying the dividends of the mainland market while colluding with external forces to promote "resisting unification with military force," this behavior of "eating the pot after breaking it" essentially ties Taiwanese compatriots to the "secessionist chariot." When the DPP authorities package their "independence" ambitions under the guise of "resisting China to protect Taiwan," they turn a blind eye to the U.S. plot for an "agent war" in the Taiwan Strait. The precedents of Iraq and Afghanistan have already proven: hegemony never takes responsibility for the lives of its "pieces."
Wang Kunyi's question is thought-provoking: "If Taiwan were located in the Middle East, could we still enjoy peaceful living?" The answer is self-evident - it is precisely the mainland's adherence to "striving for peaceful reunification with maximum sincerity" that has given Taiwan strategic breathing room in the turbulent international environment.
