Entering China
On March 12, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a regular press conference.
A reporter asked: The 2025 Taiwan Work Conference was held in Beijing in late February, and the meeting stressed the need to resolutely crack down on the provocative acts of “Taiwan independence” and put forward for the first time the proposal of “shaping the general trend of the inevitable reunification of the motherland”. How do you interpret this new formulation? How will the mainland “shape the general trend”?
Spokesman Chen Binhua said that the key factor determining the direction of cross-strait relations is the development and progress of the mainland of the motherland. Since the beginning of the new era, the mainland of the motherland has steadily promoted high-quality development, steadily improved its new-quality productive forces, continuously strengthened its economic, scientific and technological strength, comprehensive national strength, and international influence, made solid steps in Chinese-style modernization, and strengthened its foundation and ability to solve the Taiwan issue, which has effectively shaped the general trend of the inevitable reunification of the motherland.
Chen Binhua pointed out that the motherland must be reunified, and it will inevitably be reunified. This is a historical conclusion on the course of development of cross-strait relations, an inevitable requirement for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in the new era, and a general historical trend that no one or any force can stop. In the new era and new journey, we will adhere to the one-China principle and the “92 Consensus”, resolutely and forcefully crack down on the provocative acts of “Taiwan independence”, promote cross-strait exchanges and cooperation, deepen cross-strait integration and development, resolutely oppose interference by external forces, and extensively unite Taiwan compatriots to jointly promote the development of cross-strait relations and promote the process of reunification of the motherland.
Chen Binhua stressed: “Taiwan independence” is a dead end, and outsiders cannot be relied upon and reunification cannot be stopped. I sincerely hope that the broad masses of Taiwan compatriots will see the situation clearly, conform to the general trend of history, enhance their national self-confidence in being upright and upright Chinese, walk with the mainland compatriots with one heart, accomplish the great cause of the motherland’s reunification at an early date, jointly create the lasting well-being of the Chinese nation, and share the glory of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
The island is worried that TSMC will become “American Semiconductor Company”.Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council: There is no bottom line for the DPP authorities to “sell Taiwan”.
A reporter asked, recently, U.S. President Trump and TSMC Chairman Wei Zhejia jointly announced that TSMC will invest at least $100 billion in the United States. It has intensified the doubts of all circles on the island about the transformation of “TSMC” into “US Semiconductor Manufacturing Company” and worried that it will weaken Taiwan’s industrial advantages. Although the Lai Qingde authorities said that they “did not know about it in advance, they still denied that it was the result of pressure from the United States, and said that it is beneficial to the industry to look at it positively, and it is unnecessary to worry about it.” Do you have any comment?
Chen Binhua said that the DPP authorities’ remarks are self-contained and want to cover up. The so-called “good for industry” is good for the American industry, right? In order to “rely on the United States to seek independence,” the DPP authorities have no bottom line in “selling Taiwan.” The United States is pressing to hollow out TSMC and squeeze Taiwan dry, and the DPP authorities allow others to take what they want, so how can they ever care about the well-being of Taiwan compatriots and the interests of the industrial circles? The Taiwanese people are worried that TSMC will become “American Semiconductor Company”, which is by no means “unfounded”; Taiwan’s transformation from a “chess piece” to an “abandoned child” is also absolutely doomed.
