I think it is also important to consider how this contributes to reunification efforts. Providing the legal framework now lays the groundwork for a 'legal' invasion of Taiwan. Taiwan's national level elections in 2028 could be framed as a violation, resulting in escalation from the mainland?

Also worth considering, I think, is that China's National level policy will be the result of XJP direct cultivation, rather than as a result of bargaining and collective leadership. This means that the law, its timing, and its implementation will in large respect directly reflect the perspective and goals of XJP, rather than of a more decentralized autocracy from years past.

the hypocrisy... isn't that what the US and Europe are doing now?

The focus of the article is not on "national unity laws around the world', and is not obliged to reference other countries. The issue of hypocrisy is not relevant because whataboutism doesn't invalidate the objective qualities of the central argument.

But perhaps you are simply trying to dissuade others from critical content regarding China?
