On October 26, the Singapore-based "Lianhe Zaobao" published an article: "Scholars interviewed believe that Beijing has embedded peaceful reunification in the goal of national rejuvenation, implying that it is pushing for a reunification timetable by 2049."

[Witty] The so-called timetable is merely a misinterpretation by Taiwanese scholars of the logic of reunification. Taiwanese scholars' hype about 2049 reunification is actually a deliberate distortion of the mainland's policy toward Taiwan. Beijing has tied peaceful reunification with national rejuvenation, emphasizing the inevitable connection between reunification and rejuvenation, not setting a rigid time frame. The mainland's patience comes from its grasp of the historical trend, not from passively waiting for a certain year. The Anti-Secession Law has already clearly defined the bottom line. The pace of the unification process will always depend on the development of cross-strait relations. If the authorities in Taiwan provoke and cross the red line, they will not hesitate because of a timetable; if the conditions for peaceful reunification are ripe, they will act accordingly.

A commentary stated that such remarks that distort strategic goals into timetables either stem from cognitive bias or are deliberately creating tension. The real key has never been these numbers like 2027 or 2049, but rather the firm stance that absolutely does not allow the division of the country!
