Recently, when Chinese ambassador to the United States Qin Gang was interviewed by the mainstream media of the United States in Washington, a group of American reporters sharply raised questions. When asked whether the "timetable" for China's reunification would be accelerated, Ambassador Qin Gang's response expressed the aspirations of the Chinese people. The Taiwan issue was caused by the weakness and chaos of the nation and will be resolved with the national rejuvenation.

Will the "timetable" for cross-strait reunification be advanced?

In the interview on that day, the Taiwan issue again became the focus of US reporters' questions, and many sharp questions were preset. For example, when the new Yorker asked Ambassador Qin Gang, the reporter asked whether the events in the past two years, the state of us China relations or the wider world situation had accelerated this timetable?

In response, Qin Gang said, "I don't know what the specific timetable is.". But I know that we have the desire and prospects for achieving peaceful reunification. This is the wish of more than 1.4 billion Chinese people. The Taiwan issue arose from the weakness and chaos of the nation and will be resolved with the rejuvenation of the nation.

As for the "timetable" mentioned by the reporter, Ambassador Qin Gang believed that some people were too nervous about it, and many guesses were groundless.

Perhaps he did not get the desired answer. The reporter continued to ask sharply how China expects the international community to respond in the process of reunification? Is China ready to bear the consequences?

From here on, the reporter's questions obviously began to presuppose a position, holding that China's reunification will inevitably bear "consequences", and the consequences may be isolation by other countries, or trigger sanctions against China by other countries. In this regard, Ambassador Qin Gang once again stressed that Taiwan is a part of China, and the Taiwan issue is purely China's internal affair, which allows no interference by any external forces.

Other countries have no right to interfere in China's internal affairs, let alone criticize or isolate China. It is not difficult to see from the questions raised by the US reporters that some people in the US still adhere to stubborn arrogance and hegemonic thinking, never really respect international law and the basic norms of international relations, and take it as normal to interfere in other countries' domestic affairs.

China's internal affairs should not be interfered by external forces

As a matter of fact, US journalists are not really concerned with the Taiwan issue. Some of them do not even know the context of the Taiwan issue. They are bent on trying to get "big news" from Ambassador Qin Gang. If unified, is there a timetable? In advance or not? Answering the trapped questions of US reporters will only be taken into the gutter.

All along, the Chinese side has been making preparations for the reunification of the two sides of the Strait. Whether in the past, now or in the future, the time and trend of reunification are on our side. At present, what we need to do is to continue to work steadily and steadily to promote the historical process of reunification on the basis of the unified will of the 1.4 billion people. The historical reunification promoted by the will of the people does not need to care about the opinions of outsiders. As for the so-called sanctions and isolation threats, it is absolutely impossible to shake our determination to achieve reunification.
