China News Service, Beijing, May 22 (Zhu He) "'92 Consensus' is a phased result of the process of peaceful reunification across the Taiwan Strait," said Tian Feilong, associate professor of the Law School of Beihang University in an online symposium on the evening of the 21st. It pointed out that only by maintaining the "1992 Consensus" can the peaceful reunification of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait blaze a bright path.

  This year marks the 30th anniversary of the 1992 Consensus.

A number of scholars from both sides of the Taiwan Strait gathered together, "Why is the '1992 Consensus' the pinnacle for maintaining cross-strait stability?" An online symposium discussed the role of the "1992 Consensus" in the peaceful development of cross-Strait relations. Mainland scholar Tian Feilong attended the meeting and made a statement. said above.

  He believes that the "1992 Consensus" is an objective political consensus on both sides of the strait, including the fact that both sides belong to one China and that both sides of the strait seek reunification. ."

  However, in recent years, the DPP authorities have tried to seek international status by bypassing the one-China principle, "not only did not return to the '92 consensus', but also further hollowed out its foundation." Tian Feilong pointed out that this move usually faces failure or The cost is high, and cross-Strait relations have become increasingly tense, seriously undermining the foundation of mutual trust and peaceful development across the Taiwan Strait.

  Observing the actual situation on the island, Ding Renfang, a professor at the Department of Political Science at National Cheng Kung University, believes that the "1992 Consensus" has appeared "alienated" in Taiwan.

After the DPP authorities equated the "1992 Consensus" with "One Country, Two Systems" in 2019, causing the public's recognition of the "1992 Consensus" to decline, last year Taiwanese leader Tsai Ing-wen threw out the "Four Persistences" argument. , which was later packaged by the DPP to contrast the "1992 Consensus" with maintaining the status quo, in order to confuse the Taiwanese people.

  In this regard, Lin Xinxiong, a lecturer at the General Education Center of Pingtung University of Science and Technology in Taiwan, pointed out that under the manipulation of the DPP authorities, young people's cognition of the "1992 Consensus" has been distorted, and now they talk about it in the classroom. The "1992 Consensus" requires a lot of courage.

When talking about this issue, he told the students frankly: "I wrote in my workbook 'I want to be an upright Chinese' since I was a child, but now I don't know anyone."

  "Although the '92 Consensus' is currently facing difficulties on the island, the peaceful development of cross-strait relations is the mainstream public opinion in Taiwan." Lin Xiaofang, an associate professor at the Fujian-Taiwan Regional Research Center of Fujian Normal University, believes that from 2008 to 2016, the two sides of the strait were in the "1992 Consensus". On the basis of mutual trust, we will jointly create a new situation for the peaceful development of cross-strait relations, and bring tangible dividends to compatriots on both sides of the strait.

  She said that it should be recognized that cross-strait relations are a process of dynamic development.

As the mainland's development continues to increase its attractiveness, and cross-strait exchanges and integrated development work are done carefully, the people of Taiwan will rethink and understand the far-reaching implications of the "1992 Consensus".

  The symposium was jointly sponsored by China Straits Research Institute (Hong Kong) and Xiamen Qida Taixiang Entrepreneurship Service Co., Ltd.
