Introduction
Reviewing the Taiwan policy of CCP in 2021, we could see that although the ba- sic approach and rhetoric of Xi Jinping’s “Xi’s Five Points” remains largely consis- tent from the past; however, many of its actions toward Taiwan have become more and more hostile. While Xi Jinping’s approach to Taiwan is seriously disconnected to current global reality, CCP still focuses mainly on the concept of anti-secession and pro-unification for their Taiwan policy. They have been promoting relevant preferential policies on the one hand, while threatening Taiwan through political in- timidation or military coercion on the other hand. CCP’s actions, in general, are not enhancing the peaceful and stable development of cross-strait relations but have instead become a troublemaker in cross-strait and international relations. In this chapter, we will analyze and discuss the key contents, adjustments, and changes of the CCP’s Taiwan policies and their united front work toward Taiwan from Decem- ber 2020 to October 2021.
