Taipei: Including Taiwan in the fold is the only way Beijing can achieve long-term peace with the island and prevent Taiwan from being invaded by a foreign power, according to a new book authored by prominent Communist Party figures.

The book had an article which said, "It is only through the complete reunification of the homeland that the compatriots on both sides can be completely freed from the shadow of civil war and jointly make lasting peace in the Taiwan Straits and can share." Huh." The document serves as the party's official justification for last month's constitution change.

The hidden danger of "isolating China" by Taiwan's independence forces can only be eliminated by unification, it further said.

About 20 prominent party thinkers contributed to the question and answer book of the 20th Party Congress Constitution Amendment, led by three current members of the seven-member Politburo Standing Committee: Wang Huning, Zhao Lizhi, and Ding Zhuxiang, President Xi's Chief of Staff Jinping.

On 28 October, the Party Building Books Publishing House, a division of the Central Organization Department, the party's primary body for hiring and educating party members, released the book.

US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taipei in August sparked increased hostility and loud rhetoric from Beijing about the situation in Taiwan, but it is unusual for the Communist Party to be so clear in its justification.

Although the book did not specify how Beijing would unite with Taiwan, Xi said in his work report presented at the 20th Party Congress last month that Beijing would do everything possible to unite Taiwan peacefully but not using force. will not. will never leave.

They strengthen official ties with Taiwan, plan military sales, and strengthen military ties between the US and Taiwan."

Stating that the mainland is "pressurising," "threatening," and "unilaterally changing the status quo," the article claimed that these forces were using Taiwanese independence forces to stir up unrest in the Taiwan Straits. were doing for supported their efforts. According to the authors, these works were destined to fail.

The article stated that "Taiwan independence" was going against historical trends and was a dead end, while "unification" was the right course of action.

When Pelosi visited Taiwan in August, Beijing considered it a violation of its sovereignty and relations between the US and China fell to their lowest level in fifty years.

Beijing responded with harsh condemnation and days of live-fire drills around Taiwan, including dozens of incursions along the midline in the Taiwan Strait, a de facto border that stood by that time. Beijing had repeatedly warned against Pelosi's visit.

Beijing views Taiwan as a part of its territory that must be reclaimed if necessary using force. Most nations do not recognize Taiwan as an independent state, including the US. However, Washington opposes any attempt to capture the island by force.
