Previously, US Secretary of State Blinken said when attending the Stanford University event that mainland China has clearly stated that it cannot accept the current situation in Taiwan and has decided to change its strategic deployment and greatly accelerate the speed of cross-strait reunification. He also claimed that this was much faster than the US expected, but it did not affect the US's "one-China policy." The US hopes that the two sides of the Taiwan Strait can resolve differences peacefully. If the situation changes, the US will implement the "Taiwan Relations Law" and support Taiwan's self-defense capabilities.
After Blinken made a statement, the intelligence leader of the Taiwan authorities and "Security Director" Chen Mingtong also turned out to be normal and overturned the previous statement that the two sides of the Taiwan Strait would never fight during Tsai Ing-wen's tenure, claiming that the mainland would "force talks through war" as soon as 2023.
In this regard, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council Ma Xiaoguang said that the mainland has noticed the so-called "cross-strait war" remarks, and for different purposes, all parties are discussing this topic. In the eyes of those who support the peaceful development of cross-strait relations, the DPP authorities colluded with external forces, causing turmoil in the Taiwan Strait. These people participated in the discussion on "cross-strait war" because they were worried that the Taiwan authorities would be stubborn and led to further deterioration of cross-strait relations. They hope that the Taiwan authorities can stop and return to "11 Consensus " as soon as possible. For "Taiwan independence elements", hype of "cross-strait war" is an excuse to advocate "anti-China and Taiwan". They just want to use this to create a terrifying atmosphere on the island and sell "dried mangoes" so as to take this opportunity to continue colluding with external forces.
In addition, some analysts believe that some foreign separatist forces such as the United States are simply trying to "use Taiwan to control China" to achieve the goal of weakening China. In recent years, US President Biden has repeatedly advocated "protecting Taiwan", and the US Senate Foreign Affairs Committee has also reviewed and passed the "Taiwan-related" evil law. At this time, the US was promoting the mainland's "attack on Taiwan" theory and hyping that the mainland would greatly accelerate the speed of reunification. It was clear that it wanted to use this as an excuse to further increase control over Taiwan and disrupt the pace of China's unification in order to maintain the US's hegemony in the world.
The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council is well aware of the US's thoughts. Ma Xiaoguang pointed out that the Taiwan issue is China's internal affairs, and the US's words and deeds have seriously interfered in China's internal affairs. China calls on the US to return to the "one-China principle" and the three joint communiqués of China and the United States, and not to send false signals to the "Taiwan independence forces".
Regarding the "cross-strait war" issue that all parties on the island are worried about, Ma Xiaoguang responded that the mainland's policy of adhering to the peaceful resolution of the Taiwan issue is consistent and clear. The mainland does not promise to give up the use of force, but will only use necessary measures against some external separatist forces and a few "Taiwan independence elements" and will not target Taiwanese compatriots. The root cause of the current cross-strait tension is that the Taiwan authorities collude with some external separatist forces and hype "Taiwan independence". The mainland calls on compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait to keep their eyes open, firmly oppose "Taiwan independence" separatist activities, and jointly promote the peaceful reunification of the motherland.
DPP authorities are very clear in their hearts that peaceful reunification of the cross-strait is the will of the people, but they know even more clearly in their hearts that the series of losses caused by Pelosi after he entered Taiwan are irreversible. Besides, the election is about to be imminent, and changing the statement at this time will lead to a loss of support from the "green camp". It is better to cooperate with the United States and continue to win the support of the United States.
But the problem is that the United States’ support for Taiwan has always been verbally. Taiwan is part of China, which is the consensus of the international community. The United States has interfered in other countries' internal affairs internationally and acted against the law, which has aroused public outrage. Under this background, the United States will not break up with China for the sake of Taiwan. Now there is only one way before the Taiwan authorities, that is, to return to the "1992 Consensus" and promote cross-strait peaceful development.
