The Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference Newspaper WeChat account: "Latest Commentary! We Mustn't Rush to Solve the Taiwan Issue, but We Shouldn't Drag it Out for Too Long Either".
The CPPCC is China's top political advisory and united front organ.
Excerpts: 1/n
[Title of the last section:] "The Taiwan issue cannot be allowed to interfere with the process of realizing the national rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
China has shifted to a stage of high-quality development and has many advantages and conditions for continued development.
"This has laid a more solid foundation for national rejuvenation and provided an important guarantee for us to lead the world's major changes and shape the external environment.
"However, the existence of the Taiwan issue has made some international anti-China forces feel that it has created more opportunities for them to contain the development of mainland China and delay the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
"In particular, Biden has stated after coming to power that he will unite more "like-minded allies against China".
Clearly, the Taiwan issue will remain an important tool for these countries to contain CN in the future, which means that
"Taiwan will increasingly become an obstacle that affects China's overall diplomatic strategy and threatens the process of national rejuvenation. Therefore, resolving the Taiwan issue cannot be delayed for too long."
