The New Party delegation recently visited the mainland, becoming the first Taiwanese political party delegation to visit after the optimization and adjustment of the mainland's epidemic prevention and control measures. At a time when cross-strait relations are once again facing an important juncture in choosing a path and direction, actively promoting the normalization of cross-strait exchanges and exchanges and deepening dialogue and consultation between people from all walks of life on the mainland and Taiwan is a move that sincerely seeks cross-strait peace and the well-being of compatriots.
The New Party's visit has attracted the attention of the mainland side. Wang Huning, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, met with Wu Chengdian, chairman of the New Party, and his entourage; At the seminar on "Prospects and Reflections on Cross-Strait Relations" held in the afternoon of the same day, Song Tao, director of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the CPC Central Committee, responsible persons of various bureaus, mainland Taiwan-related research institutions, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the Ministry of Commerce, the General Administration of Customs, and other ministries and commissions sent relevant responsible persons to attend the meeting. Such an arrangement not only reflects the mainland's firm support for the patriotic unification forces on the island, but also demonstrates the sincerity of in-depth consultations.
For some time now, the situation in the Taiwan Strait has been complicated and grim and turbulent. Out of narrow political party interests, the DPP authorities adhere to the "Taiwan independence" stance, willingly act as pawns of the United States and the West to contain China, provoke the one-China principle, obstruct normal cross-strait exchanges, and push the Taiwan Strait into a situation of "fierce and dangerous war." More and more people on the island are worried about the future and hope to improve cross-strait relations and seek peace in the Taiwan Strait.
The search for peace requires choosing the right direction and path. As Song Tao stressed at the seminar, "The '92 consensus' embodying the one-China principle is the key to ensuring the peaceful development of cross-strait relations, and adhering to the ''92 consensus' is a major issue of right and wrong related to cross-strait relations and the only way out for cross-strait relations to break the deadlock." Whether to condone "Taiwan independence" and embark on a desperate road, or choose the broad road of peaceful development, under the current situation, Taiwan compatriots must see the road ahead.
With the comprehensive advancement of Chinese-style modernization, the mainland has entered a new stage of development, accelerated the construction of a new development pattern, the strength of opposing "independence" and promoting reunification has continued to strengthen, and as always, respect, care for and benefit Taiwan compatriots, cross-strait industrial cooperation and the construction of a common market are the general trend, and cross-strait non-governmental exchanges have reappeared warm currents.
The fundamental interests of the Chinese nation need to be jointly defended by compatriots on both sides of the strait, and the path of peaceful development of cross-strait relations requires compatriots on both sides of the strait to meet each other halfway. Strengthening exchanges and cooperation, peace, and development are the common aspirations of compatriots on both sides of the strait. The mainland side has actively promoted the normalization and normalization of cross-strait exchanges and exchanges, and has stressed its willingness to promote extensive and in-depth consultations on cross-strait relations and national reunification with all political parties, sectors and social strata in Taiwan on the basis of the one-China principle and the "consensus of '92."
Cross-strait affairs are family affairs of Chinese on both sides of the strait, and they should be discussed and handled well. The mainland adheres to an open and inclusive attitude and a pragmatic spirit towards cross-strait consultations, and people from all walks of life in Taiwan should also seize the opportunity, make a difference, actively participate in and contribute wisdom in the process of building a plan that conforms to the fundamental interests of the Chinese nation and the overall interests of compatriots on both sides of the strait, and discuss the overall situation of promoting cross-strait integration and development and the peaceful reunification of the motherland.
