Whether we will really unify Taiwan by force is probably a question that people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are very concerned about. Of course, this actually depends on the actions of the Taiwan authorities. If Taiwan is determined to "confront" the mainland, wants to "resist unification by force" and "rely on the United States to seek independence", then our army's thundering blow will come sooner or later.
However, war always comes at a price. If we really carry out military reunification, what price will we pay? Many people believe that, considering the current military strength of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, the price our army has to pay should be "very small". Even if the US military directly intervenes, our army is capable of dealing with it, but the losses may be heavier.
But there are also people who believe that if our military unifies Taiwan by force, we must be prepared to pay a huge price. For example, Li Yi believes that if our military were to unify by force, we might see 500 cities destroyed and 140 million people sacrificed. Is there any basis for what he says, and is it even possible? The so-called 'professors' who became famous for inappropriate remarks during the pandemic now call themselves 'professors' and 'experts', but not everyone is 'truly deserving' of those titles. Many so-called 'professors' may have self-bestowed titles, and the statements they make are often quite 'bizarre', making them hard to accept.
Or rather, some of the so-called 'professors' might gain a certain level of recognition if their remarks were made privately or under specific circumstances and conditions, but fundamentally they are 'not worth mentioning' and are definitely not suitable for public platforms. Once such remarks are made public, it is certain that they will be 'criticized'.
