Wang Yang pointed out that this year marks the centenary of the CPC, and this is of extremely special significance in the history of the party and the state and the history of the Chinese nation. General Secretary Xi Jinping delivered an important speech at the meeting to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, comprehensively reviewing the party's century-old struggle, clearly putting forward the great spirit of party building, and profoundly expounding the fundamental requirements of taking history as a mirror and creating the future, which greatly stimulated the ambition and pride of all Chinese sons and daughters. The Communist Party of China is a political party with ideals, responsibilities, strength, merit, self-confidence, and determination, always putting the people in the highest position in its heart, and always regarding the realization of national rejuvenation as the theme of all struggle, all sacrifice, and all creation. After continuous struggle, we have successfully achieved the first centenary goal and are moving towards the second centenary goal with vigor and vigor, and every Chinese son and daughter has reason to be proud of it. As long as we unswervingly adhere to the party's leadership, unswervingly take the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics, closely rely on the masses of the people, and strengthen the great unity of the sons and daughters of the Chinese nation, no difficulties or obstacles can stop the sonorous pace of the Chinese nation toward great rejuvenation.

Wang Yang stressed: The central authorities have always been concerned about the development of Hong Kong and Macao and the well-being of Hong Kong and Macao compatriots. We will continue to comprehensively, accurately, and unswervingly implement the principle of "one country, two systems," resolutely implement the principles of "patriots governing Hong Kong" and "patriots governing Macao," and fully support the SAR government in governing according to law, developing the economy, and improving people's livelihood. With the strong backing of the great motherland, the tomorrow of Hong Kong and Macao will certainly be even better.

Wang Yang stressed: 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. It is necessary to adhere to the one-China principle and the "1992 Consensus," promote the peaceful development and integrated development of cross-strait relations, implement and improve the policy of benefiting Taiwan and benefiting the people, resolutely smash any "Taiwan independence" plot, and resolutely oppose interference by any external forces. At present, the situation in the Taiwan Strait is still grim, but the times and the situation have always been on the side of the forces advocating national reunification, and the initiative in resolving the Taiwan issue has always been in the hands of the mainland of the motherland.

Wang Yang stressed: Overseas Chinese compatriots and the relatives of returned overseas Chinese are an important force in realizing national rejuvenation, and it is necessary to wholeheartedly do a good job in all kinds of work of serving overseas Chinese, support the vast number of overseas Chinese compatriots to deeply participate in the process of the motherland's comprehensive modernization, tell the Chinese story well, spread the Chinese voice, and share the Chinese dream with the same circle.
