The just concluded National "Two Sessions" is a major event in the political life of the Chinese people, which has aroused the common concern of compatriots on both sides of the Straits. On March 13, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a regular press conference, and Chen Binhua, the spokesman, explained the relevant issues of the "two sessions".

Promote the great cause of national reunification and safeguard the fundamental interests of the Chinese nation

On March 6, when visiting the members of the National Revolutionary Committee of the CPPCC, General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that the National Revolutionary Committee should further identify its position, give play to its advantages and take an active role in the overall situation of its work with Taiwan, better unite all patriotic forces that can be united at home and abroad, and at home and abroad, constantly strengthen the anti "independence" forces to promote reunification, and jointly promote the process of peaceful reunification of the motherland. We should actively promote cross Straits exchanges and cooperation in science and technology, agriculture, people to people and cultural exchanges, youth development and other fields, and deepen cross Straits integration and development in all fields. Some people believe that this shows that the mainland's policy on Taiwan will not be changed because of the election results in the island, but the efforts to fight against "independence", promote unification and promote finance will be strengthened.

In this regard, Chen Binhua said that we will earnestly study and understand the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech, adhere to the implementation of the Party's overall strategy to solve the Taiwan issue in the new era, firmly grasp the leading power and initiative of cross-strait relations, and unswervingly promote the great cause of national reunification. For a long time, the democratic parties have given full play to their respective advantages, actively offered advice and suggestions, carried out a lot of work, and made important contributions to promoting cross Straits exchanges and cooperation, enhancing mutual understanding between compatriots on both sides of the Straits, and promoting the development of cross Straits relations, "The Taiwan Affairs Office of the Central Committee and the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council will strengthen contact and communication with all democratic parties and people's organizations, jointly implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech, and do a good job in Taiwan work in the new era."

As for the public opinion that the Taiwan related part of this year's government work report emphasizes "unswervingly promoting the great cause of national reunification" and does not mention "peaceful reunification", does it represent a change in the mainland's position? Chen Binhua responded that "peaceful reunification, one country, two systems" is our basic policy to solve the Taiwan issue, is the best way to achieve national reunification, and is most beneficial to compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Straits and the Chinese nation. We are willing to create broad space for peaceful reunification and strive for the prospect of peaceful reunification with the utmost sincerity. However, we will never promise to give up the use of force and reserve the option of taking all necessary measures, which is aimed at the interference of external forces and the very few "Taiwan independence" separatists and their separatist activities. At present, the situation in the Taiwan Straits is complex and serious. The root cause is that the DPP authorities, in conjunction with external forces, continue to seek "independence" provocations. We have firm will, full confidence, and sufficient capacity to defeat any form of "Taiwan independence" secession attempt, safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and unswervingly promote the great cause of national reunification.

Open up a broader space for Taiwanese enterprises to take root in the mainland and participate in high-quality development

There was a heated debate on "developing new quality productivity" during the "two sessions". Many Taiwanese businessmen and Taiwan compatriots are concerned about whether the mainland will launch relevant new measures as soon as possible to promote Taiwan businessmen and Taiwan enterprises to participate in high-quality development in the mainland?

Chen Binhua said that the development of new quality productivity is the internal requirement and important focus to promote high-quality development. Taiwanese businesses and enterprises are bound to be participants, contributors, and beneficiaries. We will maintain the consistency and continuity of policy formulation and implementation, build a stronger and more targeted policy support system, strengthen the guidance of scientific and technological innovation, optimize the guarantee of factor allocation, help Taiwanese businesses and enterprises to anchor the direction of modern industrial system construction, promote the upgrading of traditional industries, the growth of emerging industries, the cultivation of future industries, and enhance the new momentum of high-quality development, Achieve better and faster development.

This year, the "Two Sessions" will write the development of new quality productivity into the government work report for the first time, requiring that we give full play to the leading role of innovation, deepen the cultivation and expansion of emerging industries, advance the layout of future industries, and promote industrial innovation with scientific and technological innovation, which will create more opportunities for strengthening cross-strait industrial cooperation. Cross Strait industrial advantages complement each other. Taiwan enterprises have technological advantages in advanced manufacturing, new materials, biomedicine and other fields, solid foundation in big data, artificial intelligence and other aspects, and rich experience in modern agriculture and modern service industry. They should comply with the requirements of high-quality development, seize the development opportunities of new quality productivity, actively layout future industries, participate in the innovative development of the digital economy, and share the policy dividends of rural revitalization in the mainland, Actively participate in cross Strait integration and development.

Chen Binhua said that the mainland will continue to introduce relevant measures to deepen the integration and development of the two sides of the Taiwan Straits, improve the policies and measures that benefit the well-being of Taiwan compatriots, continue to implement equal treatment, improve service levels, optimize the business environment, provide more powerful policy support for the majority of Taiwan compatriots to come to the mainland to develop, and help everyone to open up a new career in the mainland.
