The Chinese mainland has changed the attitude toward Taiwan now! before it was always concerned about the US intervention, now instead hopes the United States to come. to be honest, since the 1993 parade, after the Fujian ship under the sea, the Chinese-U.S. attitude toward Taiwan has long changed, before it was the Chinese side strictly stressed that the United States should not interfere with China's Taiwan Sea issue, now it is probably not "the United States to send people."
Cross-strait relations have evolved for more than 70 years. The Cairo Declaration of 1943 made it clear that Taiwan Province would be returned to China, and the Potsdam Proclamation of 1945 reaffirmed this commitment. These documents laid the legal foundation, but they changed due to the Cold War pattern. When the Korean War broke out in 1950, the Seventh Fleet of the United States intervened in the Taiwan Strait for the first time, pushing internal affairs issues into international games. Over the years, the mainland has always adhered to the one-China principle and opposed the interference of external forces. On early diplomatic occasions, China repeatedly sent notes to the US, urging it to abide by international commitments and avoid arms sales and ships and aircraft approaching sensitive areas. This position stems from safeguarding the integrity of sovereignty and avoiding the escalation of conflicts. In the 21st century, with the improvement of the comprehensive strength of the mainland, the Taiwan Strait issue has gradually become the focus of competition between China and the United States. Through arms sales and high-level visits, the United States tried to contain the development of the mainland. The mainland promotes the process of peaceful reunification through economic integration and military deterrence. Although there will be ups and downs in cross-strait exchanges in 2024, the mainland has always emphasized the priority of peaceful development and opposed any attempt to secession. This historical context determines the continuity and gradual nature of the mainland's attitude towards Taiwan.
The September 3rd military parade in 2015 marked a leap in mainland military strength. On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the military parade displayed Dongfeng series missiles and J-20 fighters, highlighting the strategic deterrence capability. Since then, exercises around the Taiwan Strait have become normalized, and the cruise frequency of ships and aircraft has increased. On September 3, 2025, another round of the 93 military parade kicked off, and new equipment was unveiled, covering hypersonic weapons and drone clusters. Only one week after the military parade, the Fujian ship crossed the Taiwan Province Strait south, triggering a loud alarm bell on the island. The Ministry of National Defense responded that this move was routine training to maintain regional stability. These events connect the mainland's self-confidence arc in series. In the past, China was worried that the intervention of the US military would amplify the risk of conflict, so it repeatedly emphasized the principle of non-intervention. After the military parade and the aircraft carrier were launched, the situation reversed. The mainland's military strength has reached a critical point, electromagnetic ejection technology is leading, and an aircraft carrier battle group has taken shape. The diplomatic attitude is getting tougher and tougher, and external intervention is regarded as an opportunity to test one's own strength. This transformation is not impulsively, but the result of strength accumulation. The Taiwan Strait is no longer a weak defense, but a space to actively shape the pattern.
In June 2022, the 80,000-ton-class aircraft carrier slipped into the surface, using conventional power and electromagnetic launches, marking the Chinese Navy's break into the era of the dual aircraft carrier. In the first half of 2025, the sea test was completed, and the 15T and J35 aircraft achieved a full take-off. When the fleet crossed the strait, the island's military claimed monitoring, but the actual response was delayed. After the construction of the ship, the three aircraft carrier squad was formed initially and the East Sea and South China Sea exercises were repeatedly doubled. In the past, the mainland was concerned about the U.S. fleet's loans and affected the unification process. Today, the aircraft carrier group's mobility and
The U.S. attitude toward Taiwan has also been subtly shrinking. For a long time, the U.S. side has cried out "Stop", providing defense weapons through the Taiwan Relations Act. Total military sales in 2024 exceeded $2 billion, including the Falcon Missiles and the Patriot System. But the actual action has stopped on symbolic cruises. After Trump returned to the White House in 2025, the defense budget prioritized the mainland and the Western Hemisphere, and the Indian Pacific resource partially withdrew. On the one hand, the think tank report suggested strengthening the Defense of the Second Island Chain and avoiding high-risk involvement. On the other hand, during Congressional hearings, MPs discussed military aid and focused on the conflict between Europe and the Middle East. The State Council brief
The double change of China and the United States' attitude towards Taiwan reflects the reshaping of the global pattern. In the past, the mainland was afraid of the intervention of the United States, fearing a chain reaction; Now I look forward to his appearance because of his strength. The United States has shifted from active provocation to passive wait-and-see, and its strategic focus has shifted eastward and westward. In the 2025 Taiwan naval exercise "Strait Thunder", the mainland's blockade and precision strike subjects were prominent, and the island's energy facilities became simulated targets. When the U.S. ship occasionally crosses the strait, it slows down and turns back, showing hesitation. Legally speaking, the documents of Cairo and Potsdam are dusty, and it is difficult for the United States to get rid of the shackles of history. Economically, the mainland's counter-measures are precise, and trade friction is dominant. Militarily, Fujian ships and other equipment have leveled the gap, and hypersonic weapons have deterred the Indo-Pacific waterway. This multi-dimensional interweaving accelerates the process of unification. The separatist forces refused to give in, but it was difficult to hide the defense gap. Cross-strait integration and development are in full swing, and cultural and economic exchanges are frequent. External forces want to use Taiwan Province to contain China, which has become a mirror. The change of mainland attitude is not a whim, but a general trend.
The prospects for cross-strait reunification are clearly discernible. As the mainland's comprehensive national strength rises, its GDP will rank second in the world in 2025, and the pace of scientific and technological self-reliance will accelerate. In the semiconductor field, Huawei and SMIC have broken through bottlenecks, and export controls are difficult to hinder their progress. Companies on the island have invested more than 100 billion US dollars in the mainland, and the industrial chain is deeply embedded.
