The sea and sky are sparse, and the tide rises and falls. Shallow bay strait, through the vicissitudes of the two sides of the strait, pinned on countless sons and daughters of nostalgia. Stepping into the threshold of 2022, what kind of cross-strait relations do we expect? The future begins in the present, what kind of ideal home should we leave to future generations?
The course of development of cross-strait relations has shown us that the motherland must be reunified and will inevitably be reunified, and this is an inevitable requirement for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in the new era. Since the Eighteenth National Congress, General Secretary Xi Jinping has stood at the strategic height of the overall development of the cause of the party and the country and the realization of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, has keenly insight into the domestic and foreign situation and changes in the situation in the Taiwan Strait, profoundly summarized the major policies and practices of the central government's work on Taiwan, put forward a series of important concepts and major policy propositions on the work toward Taiwan, and formed the party's overall strategy for resolving the Taiwan issue in the new era.
What is the profound meaning of the party's overall strategy for resolving the Taiwan issue in the new era? What can Taiwan compatriots gain from this? Will vital interests be damaged? The following five sets of keywords will take you to think rationally.
National reunification and national rejuvenation
The emergence and evolution of the Taiwan issue is closely related to the fate of the Chinese nation in modern times. In modern Times, China is poor and weak, and Taiwan has been occupied by foreign nationalities for half a century. The continuation of the civil war led to a confrontation between the two sides of the strait, and the separation of hands and siblings left a heartache for compatriots on both sides of the strait.
Since the 18th National Congress, General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly issued important expositions on realizing the complete reunification of the motherland. The report of the Nineteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly incorporated "adhering to 'one country, two systems' and promoting the reunification of the motherland" into the basic strategy for upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era.
"National rejuvenation and national reunification are the trend of the times, where the great righteousness lies, and where the people's aspirations lie." "The broad masses of Taiwan compatriots are all members of the Chinese nation, and they must be upright and upright Chinese, seriously consider Taiwan's status and role in national rejuvenation, and regard promoting the complete reunification of the country and jointly seeking the great rejuvenation of the nation as a supremely glorious cause." On January 2, 2019, on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the publication of the "Message to Taiwan Compatriots", General Secretary Xi Jinping delivered an important speech, comprehensively expounding the major policy propositions based on the new era and promoting the peaceful reunification process of the motherland in the great journey of national rejuvenation.

"Promoting the complete reunification of the country and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is undoubtedly the core of the party's overall strategy for resolving the Taiwan issue in the new era." Professor Wang Yingjin, director and director of the Research Center for Cross-Strait Relations at Chinese Min University, said: This is a complete ideological system that plans the process of national reunification and improves relevant systems and mechanisms with the people as the center, peaceful negotiations but not abandoning the use of force as a means, ending political confrontation and realizing reunification as the goal, the rule of law as the guarantee, "one country, two systems" as the unified framework, and national rejuvenation as the ultimate goal.
"The Taiwan issue arose out of national weakness and chaos and will certainly be resolved along with national rejuvenation." General Secretary Xi Jinping's solemn declaration deeply touched Zhuang Chuanhong, a 91-year-old Taiwan compatriot who settled in Shanghai. Born in Tainan, Taiwan, Zhuang Chuanhong moved to Shanghai in 1938 as his father could not stand Japanese colonial rule. Due to the decades-long isolation of the two sides of the strait, it was not until the early 1990s that he was able to revisit his long-lost hometown.
"I am more than 90 years old, but I still want to do more for the early reunification of the motherland." Zhuang Chuanhong said: In tainan's hometown, there are still cousins, cousins, and many other relatives, and everyone is looking forward to the early realization of "reunion" in the true sense of the two sides of the strait and jointly realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Put an end to political confrontation and achieve lasting peace
Due to the continuation of the civil war and the interference of external forces, the two sides of the Taiwan Strait have been plunged into a long-term political confrontation since 1949. Decades of "freezing" and isolation have left intractable wounds in the hearts of compatriots on both sides of the strait, and "liberating Taiwan" and "restoring the mainland" were once popular political slogans on both sides of the strait.
Differences in systems are not an obstacle to reunification, still less an excuse for division. "The long-standing political differences between the two sides of the strait are the general root causes that affect the stability and long-term development of cross-strait relations, and they cannot be passed down from generation to generation." Three years ago, General Secretary Xi Jinping issued a sincere appeal, "We are willing to conduct dialogue and communication with all parties, groups and personalities in Taiwan on cross-strait political issues and issues related to the process of promoting the peaceful reunification of the motherland, exchange views extensively, seek social consensus, and promote political negotiations." ”
In the view of Liu Guoshen, director of the Collaborative Innovation Center for peaceful development of cross-strait relations, "peaceful reunification and one country, two systems" is the best way to realize national reunification, taking into account the actual interests of the Taiwan people and taking into account the political requirements of the Taiwan authorities, and embodying the long-term interests of the Chinese nation and the overall interests of the country. "This is the wisdom of the Chinese on both sides of the strait and the blessing of the people on both sides of the strait."

Under the premise of ensuring national sovereignty, security, and development interests, after peaceful reunification, the social system and way of life of Taiwan compatriots will be fully respected, the private property, religious beliefs, and legitimate rights and interests of Taiwan compatriots will be fully guaranteed, the people's livelihood and well-being will be fully enhanced, and Taiwan's fiscal revenue will be fully used to improve people's livelihood.
"I have come into contact with quite a few young people in Taiwan on both sides of the strait, and there is a very obvious phenomenon that some people shout against 'one country, two systems,' and when you ask him what the content of 'one country, two systems' is, you basically can't answer it." Zhang Liqi, a young Taiwanese teacher at Huaqiao University, said: We should help Taiwan compatriots get rid of the monopoly shackles of green media on the island and truly understand the connotation of "one country, two systems."
To this end, Zhang Liqi and his friends set up the "Cross-Strait In the Same Boat" WeChat public account to share fresh information on the mainland and comment on hot news on both sides of the strait. "I hope that more Taiwan compatriots will see the mainland's freedom, openness, and institutional advantages, help them understand 'one country, two systems,' and understand that democratic consultation is to let the people of Taiwan put forward their opinions."
Pin your hopes on the people of Taiwan and oppose "Taiwan independence" separatism
"We welcome more Taiwan compatriots to join the ranks of promoting the peaceful development of cross-strait relations, and we all work together to come up with ideas and ways to gather more wisdom and strength to consolidate and expand the achievements in the development of cross-strait relations, so that the peaceful development of cross-strait relations will become an irresistible historical trend, so that the broad masses of Taiwan compatriots, especially the people at the grass-roots level, can enjoy more of the benefits brought about by the peaceful development of cross-strait relations." When meeting with Lien Chan, honorary chairman of the Chinese Kuomintang, and his party in 2014, General Secretary Xi Jinping sent such an affectionate message.
Pinning hopes on the people of Taiwan is the principle and policy that the CPC has always adhered to. In recent years, the mainland has adhered to the people-centered development ideology, adhered to the concept of "one family on both sides of the strait," and introduced a series of policies and measures conducive to winning the hearts and minds of the people, achieving remarkable results and vividly interpreting the practical strength of the party's overall strategy for resolving the Taiwan issue in the new era.
Wang Kunyi, chairman of the Taiwan Strategy Society and professor at Tamkang University, held that the mainland side not only adheres to the principled stand of the "1992 Consensus," but also always adheres to promoting cross-strait nongovernmental exchanges and cooperation, seeking well-being for taiwan compatriots, and pinning its hopes on the People of Taiwan. "This goes beyond the rotation of political parties on the island."

Since the DPP authorities came to power in 2016, they have colluded with external forces, embraced foreign countries to respect themselves, frantically plotted "independence" provocations, and constantly created incidents, causing tension and turmoil in cross-strait relations and posing a great threat to peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait region.
"The 'Taiwan independence' split is the biggest obstacle to the reunification of the motherland and a serious hidden danger to national rejuvenation." "Those who have forgotten their ancestors, betrayed the motherland, and split the country have never had a good end and will certainly be spurned by the people and judged by history!" "If the 'Taiwan independence' separatist forces provoke and coerce, or even break through the red line, we will have to take drastic measures." ......
In the face of the sinister intentions of "Taiwan independence" separatist activities and the United States and other external forces to "use Taiwan to control China", General Secretary Xi Jinping has made solemn declarations on many occasions.
"Opposing 'Taiwan independence' is the meaning of the party's overall strategy for resolving the Taiwan issue in the new era." Zhu Songling, professor of the Institute of Taiwan Studies at Beijing Union University, said: The inevitability of the reunification of the motherland and the fate of the overthrow of "Taiwan independence" are determined by the general trend of the development of cross-strait relations and the historical process of national rejuvenation, and are an irreversible historical trend.
Integrated development, common market
"Cross-strait economic and trade has developed from scratch and is now booming, and there are various policies for Taiwan businessmen to develop on the mainland." Wu Jiaying, president of the Xiamen Taiwan Businessmen's Association, which has been rooted in the mainland for nearly 30 years, said: "The digital economy, the construction of new infrastructure, and green development are all important directions for the future development of the mainland's economy, and we must seize the business opportunities." ”
Under the guidance of the party's overall strategy for resolving the Taiwan issue in the new era, the mainland has unswervingly taken the lead in sharing development opportunities with Taiwan compatriots, providing equal treatment for Taiwan compatriots and Taiwan enterprises, continuously expanding cross-strait economic and trade cooperation, and playing a magnificent and beautiful movement of cross-strait integration and development.
Brothers with one heart, their profits are broken. For deepening the integration and development of the two sides of the strait, General Secretary Xi Jinping has always been here to remember.
From proposing to deepen cross-strait integration and development and consolidate the foundation for peaceful reunification, to asking Fujian to explore a new road for cross-strait integration and development, and striving to build Fujian into the first home for Taiwan compatriots and Taiwan enterprises to land, to the inspection in Fujian in 2021, it is necessary to highlight the need to promote integration with integration, benefit and affection, and have the courage to explore a new road for cross-strait integration and development.
Optimistic about the new opportunities of the "14th Five-Year Plan", Xiamen Taiwan businessmen continued to increase capital and expand production.

Time and again, the emphasis is long, and the system is expounded again and again, and General Secretary Xi Jinping's major policy propositions on deepening cross-strait integration and development have been continuously improved in practice. "Deepening cross-strait integrated development," "strengthening cross-strait industrial cooperation, building a cross-strait common market, and strengthening the Chinese national economy," "supporting Taiwan businessmen and Taiwan enterprises to participate in the 'Belt and Road' construction and the national regional coordinated development strategy" were written into the "14th Five-Year Plan", which has become an important program and action guide for promoting the peaceful development of cross-strait relations and deepening cross-strait cooperation in the new development stage.
"From Taiwan compatriots enjoying the same treatment such as medical insurance and house purchase, to allowing Taiwan enterprises to participate in new infrastructure and supporting the listing of Taiwan enterprises, the policies and measures have become more specific and delicate, making us feel more and more warm at home." Wu Jiaying said that the continuous implementation of huitai measures for the benefit of the people has created a better environment for Taiwan compatriots to study, find employment, start a business, and live.
Cultural inheritance, spiritual fit
"The soul of the country, the text to transform, the text to cast." Traditional Chinese culture is the common spiritual root and spiritual destination of compatriots on both sides of the strait. General Secretary Xi Jinping has stressed many times that compatriots on both sides of the strait are close to each other, rooted in the common blood and spirit of compatriots, rooted in our common history and culture.
"Promote compatriots on both sides of the strait to jointly carry forward Chinese culture and promote spiritual harmony." "The fellowship of men lies in the confidant." "Between relatives, there is no unbreakable knot. After a long period of hard work, we will certainly be able to achieve the spiritual unity of compatriots on both sides of the strait. ”......
General Secretary Xi Jinping's words, like spring wind and rain, convey profound thinking about the reunification of the motherland.
After the resumption of cross-strait exchanges, the first Taiwanese painter to "land" and hold a solo exhibition, the Taiwanese painter Jiang Mingxian, who is nearly eighty years old, has made countless masterpieces in his lifetime, but only the work "New Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" that he co-painted with mainland painters has been printed on the business card he carries with him.
"The cooperation between painters on both sides of the strait in a painting is of extraordinary significance, which fully embodies the spirit of modest and inclusive Chinese culture, and is the best footnote for the two sides of the strait to be of the same language and the same species." Jiang Mingxian said: Both sides of the strait are Chinese. Taiwanese people have been baptized by Chinese culture since childhood, from living habits, treating people and receiving things to traditional customs such as Ancestor Worship in the Qingming Dynasty, all of which reflect cultural inheritance. "Taiwanese should be proud to have Chinese culture."

Holding cross-strait Chinese character culture and art festivals, carrying out the "Taiwan Youth Chinese Traditional Culture Inheritance Program", and realizing cross-strait cooperation in the protection of cultural relics... The sea is constantly separated from the history of the two sides of the strait, and even more separated by the blood of the brothers and sisters, and the common Chinese cultural bloodline cannot be cut off by any external force.
Cultural identity is the foundation of spiritual harmony, and it also paints a brilliant "bright color" of the party's overall strategy for resolving the Taiwan issue in the new era. Whether it is cultural exchanges or social integration, it is fundamentally aimed at promoting the spiritual unity of compatriots on both sides of the strait and enhancing the well-being and interests of compatriots on both sides of the strait. As General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out, everything we have done to promote cross-strait relations is to realize the aspirations of compatriots on both sides of the strait for a better life.
Confluence knows Yu Li, and together to the vicissitudes. Looking forward to the future, we are more qualified, more confident, and more capable of accomplishing the great cause of the reunification of the motherland. Under the guidance of the party's overall strategy for resolving the Taiwan issue in the new era, compatriots on both sides of the strait will certainly be able to jointly create a beautiful future for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation by joining hands and working together in harmony and unity.
