"The iron shackles of a dark prison cannot suppress the will of reunification!" Gao Anguo, the general of Taiwan's retreat: China will be reunified and will be reunified.

China News Service, October 13 (Yanxintai) On the 12th, 82-year-old retired Taiwan Army Lieutenant General Gao Anguo made a public appearance through a visit video released by Taiwanese current affairs commentator Li Jiannan while he was on bail awaiting trial. Wearing electronic shackles on his feet, he appealed to the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait to rise up together and promote peaceful reunification, and firmly stated that "China will be reunified and will be reunified."

In the video, Gao Anguo said that China's reunification is the common responsibility of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and everyone has an obligation to promote the peaceful reunification of both sides of the Taiwan Strait. Gao Anguo said that reunification is certain and certain, and he firmly believes that this goal will be achieved in the shortest possible time.

Li Jiannan said that what Gao Anguo did was not only for the Chinese nation, but also to protect Taiwan. If Taiwan continues like this, it will eventually become a cemetery and cannon fodder played by the West.

According to previous reports, Gao Anguo is a retired Lieutenant General of the Taiwan Army. Because he has long publicly advocated cross-strait reunification, he was prosecuted by the Democratic Progressive Party authorities for violating the so-called "National Security Law" and was sentenced to 7 years and 6 months in prison at first instance on October 23, 2025.

In response, Chen Binhua, spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, once responded that this is another evil act by the DPP authorities to abuse justice and suppress and persecute the patriotic unity forces on the island. We strongly condemn this.

Chen Binhua pointed out that the DPP authorities continue to suppress political dissidents, especially the wanton persecution of organizations and people who oppose "Taiwan independence" and advocate reunification. This is entirely based on the nature of "Taiwan independence" and for the selfish interests of one party. We hope that all walks of life in Taiwan will fully understand the nature of the case and jointly oppose its abuse of power to persecute patriots. We hereby warn the relevant institutions and personnel on the island that those who stand on the opposite side of the people's voice and historical justice and act as thugs and minions of the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces will surely be liquidated by history and severely punished by law.

Public information shows that Gao Anguo was born in Hunan Province in April 1944. His father Gao Dulun once served as the commander of the Green Island area of ​​the Taiwan Army's "Garrison Headquarters" and was awarded the rank of major general. Following in his father's footsteps, Gao Anguo joined the army when he grew up and served as commander of the Taiwan Army's Huadong Defense Command and deputy commander of the Sixth Army of the Taiwan Army. After retiring, he actively participated in anti-independence and promotion of reunification activities. In order to counter the so-called "Taiwan Democratic Government" that advocated radical "Taiwan independence", he established the "Taiwan Military Government" in 2018, which caused heated discussions on the island.
