　　This forum was successfully held under the normalization of the epidemic prevention and control situation and the obstruction of the DPP authorities.

In his speech, Wang Yang expressed the meaning that cross-strait exchanges and cooperation are in the common interests of compatriots on both sides of the strait, and demonstrated the goodwill, sincerity, confidence and determination of the mainland to continue to promote cross-strait exchanges and cooperation.

　　Openness brings progress, and closure inevitably lags behind.

Wang Yang pointed out that decades of development in cross-strait relations have proved that exchanges will benefit both, while isolation will hurt both.

Since the beginning of this year, the world economic situation has been extremely severe, and the cross-strait trade volume has maintained double-digit growth, which fully demonstrates that the mainland of the motherland has always been Taiwan's strongest backing and most assured support.

　　"The mainland will further improve the institutional arrangements and policy measures that benefit Taiwan compatriots, promote the quality and efficiency of cross-strait exchanges and cooperation, and help more Taiwan youths to pursue their dreams, build their dreams, and realize their dreams on the mainland." Wang Yang said that we adhere to the "92 Consensus" "On the basis of promoting the peaceful development of cross-strait relations, the focus and end point is to enhance the affection and well-being of compatriots, so that compatriots on both sides of the strait can lead a better life.

　　Strengthening cross-strait exchanges and cooperation conforms to the common interests and well-being of the people on both sides of the strait, and is also the mainstream public opinion on both sides of the strait.

However, since the DPP authorities came to power in 2016, there have been continuous “de-sinicization” actions, vainly trying to “disconnect” the mainland economy and “broken the chain” of culture; since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, it has intensified and tried to limit cross-strait exchanges and cooperation; and With foreign self-respect, in a vain attempt to "seeking independence with the epidemic."

　　In fact, some external forces just use Taiwan as a "pawn" in the game with mainland China.

Most countries recognize that there is only one China in the world.

　　Wang Yang also emphasized in his speech that "Taiwan independence" is a dead end, and relying on foreigners' self-respect and taking risks will only bring unbearable risks to Taiwan.

We will not tolerate any damage to national sovereignty, security, and development interests.

　　Wang Yang's speech not only demonstrated the mainland's confidence in promoting cross-strait exchanges and cooperation, but also expressed the firm will and determination to oppose the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces.

　　At present, the world is facing pressures such as the impact of the epidemic and economic downturn.

The mainland has taken the lead in overcoming the adverse effects of the epidemic, the economy has steadily recovered, and it is firmly on the road to a well-off society in an all-round way.

The rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has ushered in unprecedented opportunities, and the people on both sides of the strait need to work together.

　　Observers believe that upholding national justice, following the general trend of history, and doing more things that are conducive to the peaceful development of cross-strait relations and the improvement of the well-being of compatriots on both sides of the strait are the luck of the Chinese nation.
