During our fight against the epidemic, Taiwanese businessmen and the people of Zhejiang Province worked together.
Zhejiang adheres to the concept of “Across the Strait, one family” and “Taiwanese businessmen are Zhejiang businessmen”, and makes every effort to help Taiwanese-funded and Taiwanese enterprises in Zhejiang to resume production.
In late March, our Taiwan-funded enterprises in Zhejiang have fully resumed work and production, and I also counted that in the first half of this year, Taiwanese enterprises in Zhejiang received a cumulative tax cut of 108 million yuan, a fee reduction of 198 million yuan, The rent reduction and interest rate reduction are 20 million yuan, so it is beneficial to help Taiwanese enterprises to resume production; on the other hand, the majority of Taiwanese businessmen and Taiwan compatriots also actively help the prevention and control of the epidemic in our province. The accumulated donated funds and materials are equivalent to 27,165,600 yuan.
[Explanation] Hong Xiuzhu, former chairman of the Chinese Kuomintang and chairman of the China Qingyan Peace Education Foundation, said that the original intention of holding the youth forum was to build a bridge for youths on both sides of the strait to help the younger generation of the Chinese nation eliminate differences and enhance communication and understanding.
It is hoped that young people can look at cross-strait issues in a more macro and pragmatic way and seek solutions in a more macro and pragmatic manner.
I hope that young people will aspire to be the sons of peace across the strait, so that both sides of the strait can be enlightened and create a cultural landscape.

Because we must let the mainland compatriots know, let the people of Taiwan know, and let the rest of the world know that even though the two sides of the strait are currently full of thorns, there are still people who continue to run on the road to cross-strait peace, and there are still people who are willing to say the aspirations of most Taiwan compatriots in pursuit of peace. .
Because we believe that as long as the two sides of the Taiwan Strait build on the mutual trust of the "92 Consensus", the Dinghai Shenzheng, one day compatriots on both sides of the strait can join hands to build a beautiful home.
Liu Jieyi, director of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council’s Taiwan Affairs Office, said that the current situation in cross-strait relations is severe and complicated. The nation's righteousness harms the fundamental interests of the Chinese nation and the interests and well-being of Taiwan compatriots.
We will continue to unite the broad masses of Taiwan compatriots, resolutely oppose "Taiwan independence", firmly promote the peaceful development of cross-strait relations, and firmly advance the process of peaceful reunification of the motherland.
It is hoped that the broad masses of Taiwan compatriots' expectations for peace and development will converge into a majestic force to contain "Taiwan independence" and advance reunification.
Liu Jieyi said that only when a country is prosperous and strong can the people have a better life, and only the youth can spread their wings and fly high.
Young people must inherit and carry forward the spirit of struggle of the Chinese nation, have high ambitions, and shoulder the responsibilities of the times.
I hope that young people on both sides of the strait will integrate the pursuit of the individual into the greater self of national rejuvenation, and strive to become witnesses, participants and contributors of this great era.
