Xinhua News Agency commentator
The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council and the Information Office of the State Council issued a white paper entitled "The Taiwan Issue and the Cause of China's Reunification in the New Era" on the 10th. This is a comprehensive and systematic exposition of the stand, principles, and policies of the CPC and the Chinese Government in promoting the reunification of the motherland in the new era; it is of great significance to strengthening the general trend of opposing "independence" and promoting reunification, resolutely curbing the separatist acts of "Taiwan independence" and interference by external forces, and firmly defending state sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Resolving the Taiwan issue and realizing the complete reunification of the motherland is the common aspiration of all the sons and daughters of the Chinese nation, an inevitable requirement for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and an unswerving historical task of the CPC. The Communist Party of China, the Chinese government and the people of Chinese have made unremitting efforts to this end for a long time.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era. Under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core, the CPC and the Chinese government have actively promoted theoretical and practical innovations in taiwan work, firmly grasped the leading and active power of cross-strait relations, vigorously safeguarded peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, and solidly promoted the process of the reunification of the motherland.
Taking into account the overall situation of the great rejuvenation strategy of the Chinese nation and the major changes in the world that have not occurred in a hundred years, firmly grasping the new historical orientation of the great cause of China's reunification, General Secretary Xi Jinping has comprehensively grasped the changes in the era of cross-strait relations, put forward a series of new concepts, new ideas and new strategies for Taiwan work, formed the overall strategy of the CPC in the new era to resolve the Taiwan issue, and provided a fundamental observance and program of action for doing a good job in Taiwan work in the new era.
Work together to promote national rejuvenation and achieve the goal of peaceful reunification; Explore the "two systems" Taiwan proposal and enrich the practice of peaceful reunification; Adhere to the one-China principle and safeguard the prospects for peaceful reunification; Deepen cross-strait integration and development and consolidate the foundation for peaceful reunification; Realize the unity of the hearts and minds of compatriots and enhance the identity of peaceful reunification. Under the guidance of a series of important concepts and major policy proposals, we will promote the realization of the first meeting between leaders of the two sides of the strait since 1949, direct dialogue and communication, raise cross-strait exchanges and interactions to a new height, and become a new milestone on the road to the development of cross-strait relations; Adhere to the one-China principle and the "1992 Consensus", promote cross-strait political party inter-party exchanges, reach a number of consensuses and issue joint initiatives, and work with all sectors of Taiwan society to explore the "two systems" Taiwan solution; Practice the concept of "one family on both sides of the strait", take the well-being of compatriots on both sides of the strait as the basis, promote the peaceful development and integrated development of cross-strait relations, and improve the institutional arrangements and policy measures for promoting cross-strait exchanges and cooperation and ensuring the well-being of Taiwan compatriots; Unite the broad masses of Taiwan compatriots, eliminate interference and obstruction by the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces, and promote cross-strait exchanges and cooperation in various fields and personnel exchanges in a deep and solid manner; We should firmly safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity, resolutely oppose "Taiwan independence" separatism and interference by external forces, and vigorously safeguard peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait and the fundamental interests of the Chinese nation.
The achievements in promoting the peaceful development of cross-strait relations and the process of promoting the peaceful reunification of the motherland in the new era have once again shown that the CPC has always been the backbone of the Chinese people and the Chinese nation, and a strong core of leadership for national rejuvenation and national reunification.
The course of the CPC's unremitting struggle to resolve the Taiwan issue and realize the complete reunification of the motherland has fully demonstrated that it is necessary to uphold the one-China principle and never allow anyone or any force to split Taiwan from the motherland; We must persist in seeking happiness for all Chinese, including Taiwan compatriots, and always strive to realize the aspirations of compatriots on both sides of the strait for a better life; We must persist in emancipating the mind, seeking truth from facts, abiding by righteousness and innovation, grasping the fundamental interests of the nation and the core interests of the state, and formulating and implementing principles and policies toward Taiwan; We must persist in daring to struggle and being good at struggle, and wage a resolute struggle against all forces that undermine China's sovereignty and territorial integrity and attempt to block the reunification of the motherland; We must uphold great unity and great alliance, extensively mobilize all positive factors conducive to opposing "independence" and promoting reunification, and jointly promote the process of the reunification of the motherland.
For some time now, the DPP authorities in Taiwan have stepped up their "Taiwan independence" separatist activities, and some external forces have vigorously engaged in "using Taiwan to control China" in an attempt to prevent China from realizing complete reunification and the Chinese nation from marching toward great rejuvenation.
The DPP authorities have adhered to the separatist stand of "Taiwan independence" and have colluded with external forces to constantly carry out "independence" provocations. The DPP authorities' act of seeking "independence" has led to tension in cross-strait relations, endangered peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, undermined the prospects for peaceful reunification, and squeezed the space for peaceful reunification. Engaging in "Taiwan independence" separatism and resisting reunification will not be able to pass the threshold of the history and culture of the Chinese nation at all, nor will it be able to pass the threshold of the determination and will of the more than 1.4 billion Chinese people.
The interference of external forces is a prominent obstacle to advancing the process of China's reunification. Out of their hegemonic mentality and Cold War mentality, some US forces regard China as the most important strategic opponent and the most severe long-term challenge, and have made every effort to encircle and suppress it, and have intensified their efforts to promote "using Taiwan to control China." Safeguarding national unity and territorial integrity is the sacred right of every sovereign state, and the Chinese Government can naturally take all necessary measures to resolve the Taiwan issue and realize national reunification, and will not allow interference by external forces. China will unswervingly follow the path of peaceful development, and at the same time will never shrink back in the face of any pressure of external interference, and will never tolerate any damage to national sovereignty, security and development interests. There is no way out of "relying on foreign countries to seek independence," and "using Taiwan to control China" is doomed to failure.
We are willing to continue to strive for peaceful reunification with the greatest sincerity and with the greatest efforts. We do not promise to renounce the use of force and reserve the option of taking all necessary measures against the interference of external forces and the very small number of "Taiwan independence" separatists and their separatist activities.
National reunification is a historical necessity for the Chinese nation to move toward great rejuvenation. To promote the reunification of the motherland in the new era and new journey, we must adhere to the basic principle of "peaceful reunification and one country, two systems"; Efforts must be made to promote the peaceful development and integrated development of cross-strait relations; We must resolutely smash the "Taiwan independence" separatist and foreign interference attempts; We must unite the Taiwan compatriots in jointly seeking national rejuvenation and national reunification.
Taiwan's future lies in national reunification, and the well-being of Taiwan compatriots depends on national rejuvenation. Realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is closely related to the future and destiny of compatriots on both sides of the strait. A strong nation is a blessing for compatriots on both sides of the strait; National weakness and chaos are a scourge for compatriots on both sides of the strait. Only when the nation is rejuvenated and the country is strong and prosperous can compatriots on both sides of the strait live a prosperous and beautiful life. Realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation requires the common struggle of compatriots on both sides of the strait, and realizing the complete reunification of the motherland also requires the joint efforts of compatriots on both sides of the strait.
The new era is an era of great development and great deeds of the Chinese nation, as well as an era of great development and great deeds of compatriots on both sides of the strait. Realizing the peaceful reunification of the two sides of the strait in accordance with "one country, two systems" will lay a new foundation for China's development and progress and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, Taiwan's development space will be broader, the vital interests of Taiwan compatriots will be fully guaranteed, and compatriots on both sides of the strait will share the great glory of national rejuvenation. Realizing the peaceful reunification of the two sides of the strait is not only a blessing for the Chinese nation and the Chinese people, but also a blessing for the international community and the people of the world, and will be conducive to peace and development in the Asia-Pacific region and the whole world.
On the new journey of the new era and new era, the CPC and the Chinese Government will continue to unite and lead compatriots on both sides of the strait to conform to the general trend of history, bravely shoulder the responsibilities of the times, firmly grasp the future and destiny in their own hands, and strive to realize the complete reunification of the motherland and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The historical task of the complete reunification of the motherland must be realized and can certainly be realized!
