Hello everyone, today we are going to talk about an old topic, but it is always a hot topic - the Taiwan issue. In particular, due to the interference of external forces, cross-strait relations have always been turbulent. What does he think about this? Let's find out.
Looking back at history, at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macao were unable to immediately return to the motherland due to various historical reasons. Despite this, with unwavering efforts, Hong Kong and Macao were finally successfully returned to China in 1997 and 1999.
Deng Xiaoping had profound insights and layouts, and he put forward the famous principle of "one country, two systems" with the intention of providing a framework for peaceful reunification for resolving the Taiwan issue.
From the 1970s to the 1980s, Sino-US relations underwent a transition from hostility to détente, and Nixon's visit to China and the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States created external conditions for the peaceful settlement of the Taiwan issue. This is a turning point in history, which shows China's unshakable adherence to the one-China principle.
Under this dual international and domestic pressure, Deng Xiaoping showed extraordinary political wisdom. He made it clear that it is inevitable that the Taiwan issue will be resolved sooner or later. He firmly believed that reunification is the trend of the times and is unstoppable, whether it is resolved at an early date or at a later date.
Since the beginning of the 21 st century, although there has been a brief relaxation in cross-strait relations, the road to reunification is still full of challenges due to changes in Taiwan's internal politics and the complexity of the international situation. The root of the Taiwan issue lies in national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and this is an issue that no responsible Chinese can avoid.
Today, we face both challenges and opportunities. On the one hand, the majority of countries in the international community recognize the one-China principle and support China's great cause of reunification; on the other hand, the Taiwan authorities, with the support of certain external forces, are still unwilling to face the reality of peaceful reunification. Against this background, continuing to promote the development of cross-strait relations and finding new breakthroughs has become an unavoidable and important task.
The principles and ideas put forward by Deng Xiaoping in those years still seem to be of great practical significance. We must also be soberly aware that the road to peaceful reunification will not be smooth sailing, and this will require incomparable patience and extremely high political wisdom.
In handling the Taiwan issue, we can neither compromise nor make rash moves. This is not only a responsibility to history, but also a commitment to the future.
How to adopt an effective strategy against such a backdrop is a major challenge for us, which not only demonstrates the responsibility of a major country, but also shows concern for the Taiwan compatriots.
This kind of calm and unhurried strategic determination is an important reference for us in handling the Taiwan issue in the future.
The Taiwan issue is a difficult problem in the long course of history, and it is also where China's core interests lie. Deng Xiaoping's wisdom has provided us with the basic principles to follow in dealing with this issue: the principle of "one country, two systems" has provided the possibility of peaceful reunification, and today, on this basis, we need to develop a more diversified and inclusive strategy in light of the new international and domestic realities. After all, no matter how the situation changes, the family affection and the common national righteousness that blood is thicker than water can never be changed.
