Xi's Taiwan charm offensive continues apace -Positive energy injected! -Taiwan must yield to mainland for peace -Yellow Emperor rules! -Ukraine in flames -Yemen simmers -US shootings are shocking
“Reunification is like a lighthouse showing Taiwan the way out.” (above)
“Xi Jinping underscored the mainland's genuine sincerity and goodwill in benefiting Taiwan compatriots.”
The genuine sincerity and genuine goodwill provoked immediate positive reactions:
Xi: “Compatriots across the Taiwan Strait should join hands to create a bright future of peaceful reunification, firmly holding the destiny of the Chinese nation in their own hands.”
Men in suits holding hands is one of the more charming manifestations of China love.
“The common spirit of the Chinese race is expressed as Chinese culture.”
The gist of the charm offensive seems to be:
Come home, Taiwan! Come home to Xi Dada! Xi welcomes you!
“Xi's meeting with Ma injects positive energy to relations across Taiwan Strait!
Examples of positive engery injection can be viewed below. A good cross-straits time was had by all. These well-behaved, well-groomed representatives of Taiwanese youth can’t wait for reunification.
“It’s been a real trip” says Taiwan youth.
“We must return to a common political base,” says one of Ma Ying-jeou’s close associates. “Chinese culture is our shared root.”
“Secretary General Xi Jinping is big-hearted and is acutely astute in his ideas.”

Indeed, very vivid discussions were had. So says professor Li Yihu, a Taiwan expert at Beijing University.
The New Era* approach to Taiwan is really next order!
*(New Era refers to China under the command of comrade Xi Jinping, core of the party)
Pictures worth a thousand words: The future under Xi’s realm is bright and majestic.
“The mainland will implement more vigorous policies and measures to facilitate the sound development and success of youth across the Taiwan Strait.” (Xinhua)
“Xi Jinping’s important remarks to Ma Ying-Jeou stimulated an enthusiastic response!”
In the end China will be reunified into the common home of the two sides!!!
Large-scale engineering projects are being built at an accelerated pace, including, appropriately enough, particle accelerators.
Here’s something to warm the hearts of Taiwan compatriots who don’t yet welcome the inevitability of reunification. A Beijing resident sings praise of her hometown.
“Going out my door, I step into a garden. Just stepping out makes my mood so happy!”
But don’t take the effusive Miss Men’s word for it. Here’s some documentary evidence of Beijing blooming in the spring
Hail the Yellow Emperor! Though the facts have been lost in the mists of time, the Yellow Emperor is reputed to be the “founder of the Chinese civilization and the common ancestor of all Chinese people.”
For Taiwan compatriots still sitting on the fence, you too can be part of the historic fantasy-building in Xi’s China where old customs come to life and emperors of old are once again venerated. It’s the Disneyfication of history with Chinese characteristics.
Red balloons are floated by yellow-clad crowds to rise above the yellow earth of Shaanxi in celebration of the mythic Yellow Emperor.
