[Cross-Strait Quick Review Issue 1098]

On December 14, local time, a total of 538 electors from the US Electoral College cast electoral votes according to the election results of each state, confirming that Democrat Biden won the US election and became the next US president. Biden will be sworn in on January 20 next year. As the inauguration date approaches, there are many speculations on the changes in cross-strait relations and the situation in the Taiwan Strait in the Biden era.

Recently, some Taiwanese media speculated that the PLA's operation to occupy Dongsha Island may have been launched after Biden took office, "became the first Taiwan Strait crisis in President Biden's office." reported that the first to judge that the People's Liberation Army might occupy Dongsha Island was Kyodo News. The media issued an exclusive report in May this year, saying that this would be a limited military operation, which would have a shocking effect on the United States and also had a lesson effect on Taiwan. The war was short and the scale was small, so it would not be expanded into high-intensity conflict, and the international impact was easier to deal with. Although the report of

has attracted attention from all walks of life afterwards, the so-called Dongsha exercises and the capture of Dongsha have not occurred. Recently, another Japanese international relations scholar Kogasawara wrote an article that echoed this view, believing that Beijing continues to use the language of "punishing Taiwan" and intensifies "military intimidation" against Taiwan. It will not just forget it, and it will inevitably be the precursor of some actions. However, it is unlikely that the PLA will land and occupy Taiwan at present, and one of the other options is “to put pressure on Dongsha Island and directly occupy it.” The proposal of this view of

obviously lacks long-term attention to the mainland's policies and policies towards Taiwan. , when dealing with the Taiwan issue, the mainland has always started from the welfare of the vast number of Taiwanese compatriots and has always promoted the peaceful reunification of the cross-strait with the greatest sincerity. However, since the DPP authorities came to power, they have colluded with external forces and repeatedly stepped on the mainland red line, which has led to the PLA's attack on the attack.

Before the Biden administration came to power, some Japanese scholars made such a "pessimistic" prediction on the situation in the Taiwan Strait, which aggravated the "smoke" of the public opinion circles across the Taiwan Strait. Their position and motivation are worthy of vigilance. The key to whether the People's Liberation Army will attack Dongsha or even use non-peaceful means to achieve unification lies in the DPP authorities.

, spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council Zhu Fenglian said on the 16th that we will take various necessary measures to firmly promote the peaceful development of cross-strait relations, promote the process of peaceful reunification, and defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity.

For the mainland, the door to peace is always open. As long as the Taiwan authorities recognize the "1992 Consensus" that embodies the one-China principle, cross-strait relations can return to the right track of peaceful development; at the same time, for a small group of "Taiwan independence" extremists on the island and some extremist political forces in the United States and the West, the Chinese People's Liberation Army will also make various preparations to deal with changes.
