On Taiwan problem
It is undeniable that Taiwan is an indiscerptible part of china. But for historical reasons Taiwan has been separated from the mainland for nearly 60 years. Since the Democratic Progressive Party came into power in 2000 the situation became more and more complicated. In order to realize their personal purposes Taiwan secessionists advocate Taiwan independence from China and disturb the communication between the mainland and Taiwan. Their secession activities provoked extensive opposition. Some activists insist that we should launch a war to eliminate the Taiwan secessionists and settle Taiwan problem forever by military offensive. And there is a hearsay that the war between the mainland and Taiwan will happen soon.
But in my opinion, military offensive is the last resort we can use in resolving the Taiwan problem. Because war is not a good thing. It always brings many bad results. If the war breaks out everyone’s life will be changed dramatically. Men will be killed and Houses will be destroyed in the war. Unemployment, inflation, enocomic depression and all kinds of social problems will follow the war. As in the postwar Iraq every common citizen cann’t live a peaceful life as before. And the most important thing is that Chinese cann’t beat Chinese.
But what can we do to settle the Taiwan problem peacefully?
First of all, we can apply economic sanction against Taiwan secession. Nowadays our country’s reform and opening up policy has yielded substantial results. Taiwan economy becomes more and more dependent on the mainland. According to recently released statistic datas from Chinese commercial department, the mainland has become the largest trade partner, the largest origin of trade surplus and the largest investment destination of Taiwan. There are reports indicate that Taiwan economy will be beaten badly if the mainland applys economic sanction to it. Some Taiwan enterprises made pots of money in mainland and turn to support Taiwan secession. So economic sanction will be powerful in control Taiwan secession when used appropriately.
Secondly, we can restrict Taiwan secession through diplomatic efforts. The present Taiwan government of the democratic progressive party is do its best to seek international recognition of Taiwan independence. Ironically, along with the development of China less and less countrys would like to admit Taiwan’s independence. Only a few poor countrys in Africa still keep diplomatic relations with Taiwan for temporary benefits. So through effective diplomatic efforts we can narrow the range of Taiwan secession activity and reduce its influence.
Thirdly, if the Taiwan secession force loses control or the territory integrity of our country is aggressed we have no choice but to take up arms to protect our country. After all Taiwan government has bought large numbers of advanced weapons to increase its military forces. The current military forces of Taiwan is enough to threaten the peace and stability of southeast Asia. It is possible that Taiwan secessionists will bring our people into catastrophe by attacking important cities and constructions of the mainland such as the three gorges dam. So national defence is an important foudation in resolving the Taiwan problem. We need powful national defence to overawe the Taiwan secessionists.
In conclusion communication and unmilitary means is the best policy in resolving the Taiwan problem. We should go all out to avoid the war. But we cann’t be too optimistic also. We should prepare for the war even if we don’t need it. |
