◆ News background: "National Unification Council" and "National Unification Program"
● "National Unification Council"
The full name of the "National Unification Council" is the "National Unification Commission", which was established on October 7, 1990. Its task is to "study and consult the general policies of national reunification". The leader of the Taiwan authorities acts as the chairman. The purpose is to "lead the development of cross-strait relations" and promote China's reunification. The "National Unification Council" has held 14 meetings since its establishment, and the last meeting was held on April 8, 1999.
● "National Unification Program"
The full name of the "National Unification Program" was "National Unification Program", which was discussed and adopted by the third meeting of the "National Unification Council" held on February 23, 1991, and the executive department meeting of the Taiwan authorities held on March 14 of the same year. The "National Unification Program" states that "both the mainland and Taiwan are Chinese territory, and it is the common responsibility of the Chinese people to promote national reunification."
The "National Unification Program" clearly stipulates that the reunification of the two sides of the Taiwan Straits can be achieved in three stages: short range, medium range and long range. Among them, "short distance" focuses on exchange and mutual benefit, "medium distance" focuses on mutual trust and cooperation, and "long distance" focuses on negotiation and unification.

◆ News Background: What is Chen Shuibian's "Four Nones and One Absence"
On May 20, 2000, when Chen Shui bian was not stable when he came to power, he made the so-called "four no no" commitment, that is, "he will not declare 'Taiwan independence', will not change the 'national title', will not promote Lee Teng hui's' two countries' theory into the 'Constitution', will not promote the 'referendum' on reunification to change the status quo, and will not abolish the 'National Unification Program' and the 'National Unification Council'.". [ detailed ]
◆ Background of "Second Unification"
At the beginning of the emergence of the "National Unification Commission" and the "National Unification Program", although Lee Teng hui added some content of "substantial Taiwan independence", it is still an inevitable product of the development of cross-strait relations to a certain extent, which to a considerable extent reflects the mainstream public opinion of the island against "Taiwan independence" and the pursuit of peace and win-win.
In 1990, Taiwan's political situation was the first critical moment for the establishment of pluralistic politics. In order to occupy the political commanding heights conducive to their own development, the political parties in the ruling and opposition would hardly openly oppose the public opinion advocating cross-strait exchanges. In particular, the ruling Kuomintang, which has been opposed to "Taiwan independence" for a long time, will not be in favour of national division. Second, Lee Teng hui is in a critical period of consolidating the power base, and will not oppose the social public opinion and mainstream consciousness within the Party that advocate cross-strait exchanges. It was against the backdrop of the actual needs of cross-strait exchanges and the island's internal disputes that the "National Unification Commission" and the "National Unification Program" were introduced successively.

◆ News background: "1992 Consensus" and "Wang Gu Talks"
On November 3, 1992, the SEF formally sent a letter to the ARATS, suggesting "expressing the one China principle in an oral statement.". However, the political meaning of "one China" is not involved in the cross-strait business talks. " The letter also attached the third oral expression listed by the Shanghai Foundation. On December 3, the SEF replied to the ARATS in a letter and did not object to the consensus reached. As can be seen from the correspondence between the two sessions, the consensus of both sides is that "both sides of the Taiwan Straits adhere to the one China principle and strive for national reunification." (referred to as the "1992 Consensus")[ detailed ] |

| Analysis: Chen Shuibian Pushes the "Abolition of Unification" to the Path of Taiwan Independence |
◆ Behind the proposition of "abolishing unification"
After the introduction of the "second unification", it has always been the target of the "Taiwan independence" elements. Just as after Chen Shuibian's speech on "abolishing the unification", some core figures of the Democratic Progressive Party have said that "abolishing the unification" has always been the basic proposition of the party; Li Denghui, who "encouraged" Chen Shuibian to "boldly abolish the system" this time, implanted "disabling virus" in the "second system" from the very beginning.
After the Chen Shui bian administration came to power, the direction of "Taiwan independence" was very clear and purposeful. From the perspective of Chen Shuibian's "Taiwan independence" deployment, from the social and ideological perspective, the focus is to comprehensively promote "de Chinesization", "cultural Taiwan independence", "Taiwan's name rectification", "military Taiwan independence" and "pragmatic diplomacy", and comprehensively expand the social and political foundation of "Taiwan independence". From the perspective of laws and political platforms in the island, there are two major obstacles, namely, the current "Constitution of the Republic of China" and the "National Unification Program". The repeal of the current "Constitution of the Republic of China" is the last step to achieve "legal Taiwan independence", and the repeal of the "National Unification Program" is the prelude to "destruction of the constitution". The "folk version of the new draft constitution for Taiwan independence" was produced and put forward in 2006 In 2007, the political atmosphere adapted to the "New Constitutional Referendum for Taiwan Independence" was held.

◆ Chen Shuibian's Two "Historical Tasks"
For a long time, Chen Shuibian has tried to accomplish two "historical tasks", one is to ensure the ruling position of the Democratic Progressive Party in Taiwan, the other is to achieve "Taiwan independence". This time, his speech on "abolishing unification" is an attempt to promote "legal Taiwan independence" by comprehensively denying the "four different things", and serve the political needs of the Democratic Progressive Party with the "Taiwan independence" line to ensure its current ruling position. [ detailed ]
◆ "Taiwan independence" is a struggle of trapped animals
Choosing this opportunity to provoke cross-strait relations with the words of "abolishing the unification" is Chen Shuibian's trapped move in the face of internal and external difficulties.
After the "three in one" election at the end of last year, the situation in the island has changed. "Pan Blue" Ma Ying jeou won more than 50% of the votes through the election, and the DPP suffered a disastrous defeat. After the "three in one" election defeat, Chen Shuibian "closed his door and thought about mistakes", extensively contacted the island's "independence faction", listened to their opinions, planned countermeasures, and tried to survive from nowhere. Finally, in his speech on New Year's Day, Chen Shui bian reiterated the timetable for Taiwan's "legal independence" in 2008, that is, the "new constitution draft" of Taiwan was formulated in 2006, the "new constitution referendum" was held in 2007, and the "new constitution" was implemented in 2008. In order to implement the so-called "independence" schedule, he also mentioned in his Spring Festival speech the abolition of the "National Unification Council" and the "National Unification Program", and the reapplication for membership in the United Nations under the name of "Taiwan".

◆ Chen Shuibian's "Abolishment of the System": A Probe into the Legal Theory of "Taiwan Independence"
What is the purpose of Chen Shuibian's intention to abolish the "National Unification Program" and the "National Unification Council"? To sum up, this is an important step towards "Taiwan independence", from the abolition of the "National Unification Program" and the "National Unification Council" as a breakthrough, and then to the legal "Taiwan independence". Chen Shuibian's mind is not only about the "National Unification Program" and the "National Unification Council", but also about the abolition of the "National Unification Program" and the "National Unification Council". His real purpose is to launch the so-called "referendum on a new constitution", so that Taiwan can become a so-called "independent country"! [ detailed ] | |
