　　This year marks the 30th anniversary of the "1992 Consensus" reached between the two sides.

The symposium on the 30th anniversary of the "1992 Consensus" was recently held in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.

Taiwanese public opinion has paid close attention to this, and many mainstream Taiwanese media have published commentary articles on this matter, stating that in today's tense and turbulent cross-strait relations, reviewing the ins and outs of the "1992 Consensus" and looking forward to the future of cross-strait relations are of great significance to maintaining peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait.

A number of experts, scholars and people of insight on the island also said that the "1992 Consensus" has laid the foundation for the peaceful development of cross-Strait relations. All parties in Taiwan must view the "1992 Consensus" positively, promote cross-strait exchanges and cooperation, and meet each other halfway.

　　"1992 Consensus" is the key to improving cross-strait relations

　　In response to the high-level symposium on the 30th anniversary of the "1992 Consensus" held by the mainland, Taiwan's "Wang Bao" published an editorial that pointed out that the compatriots on both sides of the strait have the same origin and the same language, regardless of economic or cultural aspects. community of destiny.

In today's tense and turbulent situation in the Taiwan Strait, the two sides of the Taiwan Strait especially need to continue the spirit of seeking common ground while reserving differences, establish a consensus on peace and communication, take exchanges and cooperation as the common goal, and meet each other halfway.

　　The editorial said that 30 years ago, cross-Strait relations had not yet emerged from the shadow of the Cold War, but the two sides overcame difficulties to sit down and talk, and finally found an intersection, which laid the foundation for the later "Wang-Gu Talks" and the institutionalized negotiation between the ARATS and Taiwan's SEF.

Therefore, in 1992, the two sides negotiated and reached a consensus under the complicated and difficult political situation, based on both sides' expectations for cross-strait peace and development. This is the original intention of the "1992 Consensus".

Today, the DPP authorities should review and reflect on the original intention of the "1992 Consensus", restore and promote cross-strait exchanges, communication and cooperation, and avoid deepening misunderstandings and misjudgments across the strait.

　　Taiwan's "United Daily News" analyzed that the high-level symposium held by the mainland highlights the importance of the "1992 Consensus" as the political basis for both sides of the strait.

Wang Yang, Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, expounded the mainland's policy toward Taiwan at the symposium, pointing out that 30 years ago, the Chinese on both sides of the Taiwan Strait chose dialogue instead of confrontation, so they reached the "1992 Consensus" and stated that the "1992 Consensus" is "seeking a China's Datong, there are small differences between the two sides of the strait."

This hard-won achievement needs to be maintained and cherished by both sides of the strait.

　　Taiwan's "China Daily" published an editorial titled "The 1992 Consensus is still the key to improving cross-strait relations."

The article said that in 1992 the two sides of the Taiwan Strait did indeed reach a principled consensus on "one China". This is an objective fact that cannot be erased or denied.

The "1992 Consensus" is not a mere term, nor is it a game of words, it is the key to improving cross-strait relations.

　　The symposium held in the mainland is original and thought-provoking

　　People from all walks of life on the island are also highly concerned about the symposium held by the mainland on the 30th anniversary of the "1992 Consensus".

Ji Xin, a well-known Taiwanese scholar and publisher of "Observation" magazine, pointed out in an article that no matter from the historical documents on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, or from the background of the times in 1992, or from the "Wang Ku Talks" held in 1993, the "1992 Consensus" No one can deny the historical facts, let alone the so-called "one side imposes the other side's acceptance".

She said that the leader of the Taiwan authorities, Tsai Ing-wen, refused to recognize the "1992 Consensus" after he came to power in 2016. Against such a background, the mainland held a high-level symposium on the 30th anniversary of the "1992 Consensus", which is original and thought-provoking. effect.

　　Hong Xiuzhu, former chairman of the Chinese Kuomintang and chairman of the China Qingyan Peace Education Foundation, believes that the "1992 Consensus" is the consensus reached by the two sides of the strait 30 years ago on the principles of adhering to one China and working together to seek national reunification. Facts are history in black and white.

From 2008 to 2016, both sides of the strait recognized the "1992 Consensus". With such a foundation of mutual trust, the two sides of the strait could enter the stage of great exchanges, great development, and great cooperation, which not only created opportunities for exchanges, but also brought unlimited opportunities. Business.

"This is enough to prove that the Chinese on both sides of the strait are wise enough to properly resolve disputes and resolve differences in a rational way, without the need to confront each other by force," she said.

　　Hong Xiuzhu said that over the past 30 years, economic cooperation between the two sides of the Strait has become increasingly close.

"Cooperation between the two sides of the strait will lead to two benefits, and separation will lead to two harms. The role played by the '92 Consensus' is even more crucial." She hoped that the two sides of the strait would continue to promote various exchanges on the solid basis of the "1992 Consensus." In the future, the two sides of the Taiwan Strait can continue to deepen the "1992 Consensus" and create a more favorable environment and conditions for peaceful reunification.

　　All parties in Taiwan must view the "1992 Consensus" positively

　　Zhang Ronggong, the former deputy secretary-general of the Chinese Kuomintang, once served as the director of the Mainland Affairs Department of the Kuomintang for a long time, and is an important witness to the development and changes of cross-strait relations.

He said that since the DPP came to power in 2016, it has refused to recognize the "1992 Consensus", and the "communication" between the two sides of the strait has almost become "cut off" and "dialogue" has become "confrontation".

This is completely contrary to the peaceful development of cross-Strait relations expected by people on both sides of the strait.

The current situation in the Taiwan Strait is tense and turbulent, hurting Taiwan's overall interests. The key is that the DPP authorities do not recognize the "1992 Consensus".

Zhang Ronggong said that to return to the peaceful development of cross-strait relations, consultation and dialogue, and mutually beneficial cooperation, there must be a common political foundation.

Only by returning to the "1992 Consensus" can cross-strait peace and Taiwan's prosperity be achieved.

　　Qiu Jinyi, the former vice chairman and secretary-general of the Taiwan SEF, had personally experienced the "Wang-Koo Talks" in 1993. He believed that the "1992 Consensus" not only facilitated the "Wang-Koo Talks", but also laid the foundation for the peaceful development of cross-strait relations.

He called on some people on the island to "should turn around" and try their best to promote the gradual integration of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and discuss the future together.

　　Former Changhua County Mayor Zhuo Boyuan also believed that the "1992 Consensus" laid the foundation for the peaceful development of cross-strait relations.

In a post on social media, he said that the recognition of the "1992 Consensus" is a prerequisite for ensuring the peaceful development of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.

He said that the "1992 Consensus" is a peaceful consensus, and all parties in Taiwan must view the "1992 Consensus" positively instead of going the other way.

He also called on the DPP authorities and the Kuomintang leaders to take the well-being of the more than 23 million Taiwanese people in mind, abandon ideological confrontation, abandon the attitude of playing with words, look at the "1992 Consensus" positively, and restore the "1992 Consensus" as the Restart the basis for peaceful exchanges between the two sides of the strait, turn crises into opportunities, manage differences, negotiate on an equal footing, and jointly promote a win-win situation.
