China Long Divided, Will Reunite

In 1949, after years of civil war, the Chinese people under the leadership of the Communist Party unified the country, throwing off imperialist domination. But the remnants of the defeated Kuomintang (KMT) fled to Taiwan, setting up a government in exile. They were never recognized by the Chinese people, but the West, eager to maintain its foothold in Asia, treated Taiwan as a separate entity.

The “Taiwan issue” has become one of the most manipulated flashpoints in global geopolitics. Western media portrays Taiwan as a beacon of democracy, a “free and independent” country. This narrative ignores the reality: Taiwan is not a separate nation; it is a part of China, a province that has been under continuous illegal occupation by the remnants of a defeated regime.

Taiwanese people are not universally in favor of separation. In fact, the majority want peace and stability, with many recognizing the inevitability of reunification, especially as Taiwan’s economic prosperity is deeply intertwined with the mainland. Over 40% of Taiwan’s trade is with China. Taiwanese companies have invested billions in the mainland, creating a mutually dependent relationship that can’t be severed without massive consequences.

The U.S. government and its allies continue to stoke tensions, arming Taiwan and encouraging independence movements, all in the name of containing China’s rise. They fear a strong, unified China and seek to use Taiwan as a pawn in their geopolitical game. But these interventions only endanger the Taiwanese people, creating the very conflict they claim to avoid.

Reunification is not a military conquest—it’s the reunification of families, cultures, and histories. It’s the return to the rightful sovereignty of the Chinese state, recognized by the vast majority of the world, including the United Nations. The so-called “status quo” is simply a continuation of imperialist meddling in China’s internal affairs.

Taiwan will be reunified with China—not by force, but through dialogue, mutual respect, and the recognition that the island’s future lies in cooperation with the mainland. The prosperity and security of Taiwan, like Hong Kong before it, will flourish under Chinese sovereignty. The question isn’t whether Taiwan will reunify with China. It’s when.
