Author: Wang Jiexian, Zhu He
Premier Li Keqiang delivered a government work report to the first session of the 14th National People's Congress on the 5th. Representatives of the National People's Congress and members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) who attended and attended the conference as nonvoting delegates told reporters from China News Service that the report's Taiwan related statements had clear guiding ideology, and the proposed practices were firm and pragmatic, reflecting the three implications of the mainland's work on Taiwan.
The policy towards Taiwan is mature and stable
In 2022, the government work report will include the statement of "implementing the Party's overall strategy for solving the Taiwan issue in the new era", which will be reiterated in this year's report.
Yang Yizhou, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and vice president of the All China Taiwan Federation, said that this shows that the mainland's policy on Taiwan has become mature and stable, and the Party's overall strategy for solving the Taiwan issue in the new era has become the highest guiding ideology for Taiwan work. In the new era and new journey, to solve the Taiwan issue and promote the complete reunification of the motherland, we must adhere to the overall strategy of the Party to solve the Taiwan issue in the new era.
Emphasize the peaceful settlement of the Taiwan issue
The government work report said that we should adhere to the one China principle and the 1992 Consensus, firmly oppose "independence" and promote reunification, promote the peaceful development of cross-strait relations, and promote the process of peaceful reunification of the motherland.
In the face of the increasingly complex and serious situation of cross-strait relations, Yang Yizhou analyzed that, in addition to the provocation and escalation of the "independence" elements in the island, the activities of external forces to interfere in Taiwan affairs and undermine cross-strait relations have become increasingly fierce, and their means and practices are still evolving, but the mainland still insists on promoting the peaceful development of cross-strait relations and the process of peaceful reunification of the motherland, It shows that we will ensure the peaceful development of cross Straits relations with firm will, full confidence and sufficient capacity.
He said that the report emphasized "peace" and sent a clear signal that the DPP authorities should understand the good intentions of the mainland, return to the political basis of the "1992 Consensus" and abandon the "Taiwan independence" position. What the mainland has done is beneficial to Taiwan compatriots, cross-strait relations and the Chinese nation.
Continue to deepen the integration and development of all areas across the Straits
Zou Zhenqiu, a deputy to the National People's Congress and president of the Jiangsu Provincial Taiwan Federation, told reporters that he was impressed by the report's proposal to "promote economic and cultural exchanges and cooperation across the Straits". The situation of cross-strait exchanges in recent years is not what Taiwan compatriots hope to see. Since the beginning of this year, the cross-strait people to people exchanges have recovered, but it is far from enough. We should expand exchanges to enhance understanding and consensus between compatriots on both sides of the Straits.
He said that the mainland has made unremitting efforts to promote cross-strait economic exchanges and cooperation. In the past five years, it has introduced "31 measures", "26 measures", "11 measures" and other measures that benefit Taiwan compatriots and Taiwan enterprises. It has spared no effort to work for the well-being of Taiwan compatriots. The policy coverage has become more and more extensive, involving more and more aspects. The latest Taiwan related statements show that the mainland is constantly thinking about how to make this work better and let Taiwan compatriots participate more in the construction of Chinese style modernization.
Yang Yizhou believes that the report emphasizes "improving the system and policies for improving the well-being of Taiwan compatriots", which is to work hard to deepen the integration and development of the two sides of the Taiwan Straits, ensure that Taiwan compatriots enjoy equal treatment and share the dividends of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
