On August 10, 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". The publication of the white paper has aroused strong repercussions among overseas Chinese and ethnic Chinese. Everyone unanimously held that the white paper shows the firm will and strong determination of the CPC and the Chinese people to pursue national reunification, and the one-China principle is the universal consensus of the international community and the basic norm governing international relations. If all the sons and daughters of the Chinese nation unite and struggle, they will certainly be able to accomplish the great cause of national reunification in the process of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with one heart.

"Any form of 'Taiwan independence' separatist behavior will be condemned and curbed."

The white paper points out that Taiwan's historical longitude and latitude of belonging to China since ancient times are clear, and the legal facts are clear. General Assembly Resolution 2758 is a political document embodying the one-China principle, and international practice has fully confirmed its legal validity and cannot be misinterpreted.

"The one-China principle is the basic norm governing international relations and has been widely recognized by the international community." Zhu Hai'an, president of the Belgian Association for the Promotion of China's Peaceful Reunification, said that Taiwan is a part of China, which not only has sufficient factual and legal basis, but is also confirmed by a series of international legal documents such as the Cairo Declaration and the Potsdam Proclamation.

Zhang Xiaochun, executive chairman of the Brazilian Association for the Promotion of China's Peaceful Reunification, said that there is only one China in the world, Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory, and the United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2758 clearly recognizes that the representative of the Government of the People's Republic of China is China's only legitimate representative in the United Nations, and realizing the complete reunification of the ancestral (national) country is the common aspiration and sacred duty of all the sons and daughters of China.

Aria Janapur, president of the Kazakh Federation of Overseas Chinese and Chinese, said: The historical longitude and latitude of the Taiwan issue are clear and clear, and the facts and current situation that both sides of the strait belong to the same China are clear. The one-China principle is the universal consensus of the international community and the basic norm governing international relations. At present, 181 countries in the world have established diplomatic relations with China on the basis of the one-China principle.

Chen Jiannan, president of the Egyptian Association for the Promotion of China's Peaceful Reunification and the Egyptian Chinese Friendship Council, said that taiwan has belonged to China since ancient times, and the fact that both sides of the strait belong to one China has not changed. "Any form of 'Taiwan independence' separatist acts will be condemned and curbed."

Chen Zheng Yili, chairman of the Thai Hua Pao People Public Welfare Foundation in Thailand, said that any act of distorting facts and denying and challenging the one-China principle will end in failure. China is willing to strive for the prospect of peaceful reunification with the greatest sincerity and the greatest efforts, but it must not allow the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces to act recklessly.

Wu Wuhua, honorary president of the French Chaozhou Association, said that no country, any force, and anyone should underestimate China's determination and ability to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity, achieve national reunification and national rejuvenation. "We firmly support all countermeasures taken by the Chinese government and the Chinese People's Liberation Army to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity." We sincerely hope that Taiwan will return to the embrace of the motherland at an early date. ”

"National rejuvenation and national reunification are the trend of the times, where the great righteousness lies, and where the people's hearts and minds are"

The white paper said: The CPC has always regarded the settlement of the Taiwan issue and the realization of the complete reunification of the motherland as an unswerving historical task, united and led the compatriots on both sides of the strait, pushed the situation in the Taiwan Strait from tense confrontation to relaxation and improvement, and then embarked on the road of peaceful development.

Under the guidance and impetus of the Communist Party of China, cross-strait relations have developed by leaps and bounds over the past 70 years, especially since the state of cross-strait isolation was broken. Xiao Juan, president of the South Korean Daegu Gyeongbuk Federation of Overseas Chinese, said: "The general trend of China's complete reunification is in line with the trend of history. National rejuvenation and national reunification are the trend of the times, the great righteousness, and the aspirations of the people. "The Communist Party of China and the Chinese government have made active efforts and taken a series of effective measures to promote continuous breakthroughs in cross-strait relations and show the prospects for peaceful development."

"Since its founding, the Communist Party of China has always regarded seeking happiness for the Chinese people, and seeking rejuvenation for the Chinese nation as its original mission." Li Yi, vice president of the Cambodian Chinese School, said: Since the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Chinese leaders have comprehensively grasped the changes in the era of cross-strait relations, enriched and developed the theory of national reunification and the principles and policies toward Taiwan, and promoted the development of cross-strait relations in the right direction.

"The continuous development and progress of the ancestral (national) country is a key factor in determining the direction of cross-strait relations and realizing the complete reunification of the country." Huang Baoyi, president of the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce in South Africa, said that compatriots on both sides of the strait share the same ancestry and origin, and the great cause of the reunification of the ancestral (national) country is the trend of the times.

Zhu Hai'an said: The CPC has firmly defended state sovereignty and territorial integrity, resolutely opposed "Taiwan independence" separatism and interference by external forces, and effectively safeguarded peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait and the fundamental interests of the Chinese nation. "Realizing the complete reunification of the ancestral (homeland) country is an inevitable requirement for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. As overseas Chinese and ethnic Chinese, we firmly support all necessary actions taken by China to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and are willing to contribute to the peaceful reunification of the two sides of the strait. ”

The white paper points out that the realization of the complete reunification of the motherland is determined by the history and culture of the Chinese nation, as well as by the times and circumstances of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Zhang Xiaochun said: The Chinese nation has the glorious tradition of opposing separatism and safeguarding reunification, and realizing the complete reunification of the ancestral (homeland) country is the common aspiration and sacred duty of the sons and daughters of China, including overseas Chinese and ethnic Chinese.

Shi Bibo, executive vice chairman of the Philippine China Friendship Association, said that most of the overseas Chinese in the Philippines are from the Fujian region of China, have inextricable ties with Taiwan, and have special feelings for Taiwan.

"China's full reunification will bring more development opportunities to all countries"

The white paper points out that 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, will create tremendous opportunities for Taiwan's economic and social development, and will bring tangible benefits to the vast number of Taiwan compatriots. 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.

Wang Peizhong, president of the Egyptian Chinese Federation, said that the motherland is the strong backing and reliance of the vast number of Taiwan compatriots, and it is even more where Taiwan's future lies. "Realizing the peaceful reunification of the two sides of the strait will inject more positive energy into the prosperity and stability of the Asia-Pacific region and the world." We call on the sons and daughters of China at home and abroad to unite closely and unswervingly defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and the ancestral (nationality) country must be unified, and it will inevitably be unified! ”

Luo Chaoxi, president of the Argentine Association for the Promotion of China's Peaceful Reunification, said that national reunification is a historical necessity for the Chinese nation to move toward great rejuvenation. Only when the country is reunified can Taiwan have a bright future and prosperous development. As overseas Chinese and ethnic Chinese, we resolutely support the principles and policies of the CPC and the Chinese Government toward Taiwan and push cross-strait relations in the right direction.

Zhu Hai'an said: Taiwan's future lies in national reunification, and the well-being of Taiwan compatriots depends on national rejuvenation. "China's realization of complete reunification will bring more development opportunities to all countries and make greater contributions to world peace and development and the cause of human progress." Although we are overseas, we are concerned with our ancestral (national) countries and will make due contributions to promoting the peaceful development of cross-strait relations and opposing 'independence' and promoting reunification. ”

Janapur held that no external force attempting to "contain China with Taiwan" cannot change the historical trend that Taiwan will surely return to the motherland. "With the increasingly extensive cross-strait exchanges and cooperation and the increasingly close interactions, compatriots on both sides of the strait, especially Taiwan compatriots, have gained tangible benefits. The great cause of national reunification will certainly be completed, and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation will certainly be realized! ”
