Systematic interpretation of the policy guidelines and policy propositions of Taiwan University

　　"We are closer, more confident and capable of realizing the goal of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation than at any time in history, and closer, more confident and capable of realizing the goal of complete reunification of the motherland," the white paper said.

　　Xie Yu, director of the Taiwan-related Affairs Research Center of the China Institute of Contemporary International Relations, believes that compared with 22 years ago, the mainland's leading role in cross-strait relations has been further strengthened. The level and intensity of external interference forces have never been seen before. The "Taiwan independence" forces within Taiwan are gaining ground, "relying on the United States to seek independence" and relying on foreigners to seek independence. The main contradictions in cross-strait relations have evolved into "Taiwan independence" and anti-"Taiwan independence", interference and anti-intervention. .

　　She said that the white paper discusses the historical latitude and legal status of Taiwan as a part of China, demonstrates the firm will and determination of the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people to pursue the reunification of the motherland, and expounds the efforts of the Communist Party of China and the Chinese government to promote and realize the reunification of the motherland in the new era. The stance and policy will further strengthen the forces against "independence" and promote reunification, contain "Taiwan independence", and oppose foreign interference.

The white paper absorbs the spirit of a series of important documents since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and highlights the core leadership role of the Communist Party of China in promoting cross-strait relations and realizing national reunification.

　　"The keynote of this white paper is peaceful reunification, so I call it the rallying call for peaceful reunification." Yan Anlin, president of the Shanghai Association for Taiwan Studies and vice president of the Shanghai Institute of International Studies, said that the white paper is very important for resolving the Taiwan issue in the new era. It is a comprehensive, systematic and centralized presentation of the overall strategy of the Communist Party of China, and it is also a roadmap for the concrete implementation of the party's overall strategy for solving the Taiwan issue in the new era.

A few keywords worth paying attention to

　　Zhou Zhihuai, director of the Academic Committee of the Center for Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau and East Asia Studies at Central China Normal University, believes that there are several key words in the white paper "Taiwan Issue and China's Unification in the New Era" that are worth noting.

　　Regarding the "historical latitude and longitude", Zhou Zhihuai pointed out that the white paper expounds that Taiwan is a part of China with a large number of historical and legal facts, which cannot be doubted or changed.

Distorting and blaspheming history is bound to be spurned and backlashed by history and become the sinners of history.

　　He said that the keyword "Chinese nation" can be seen everywhere in the white paper, which not only reflects the hard truth that the peaceful reunification of the two sides is in line with the overall and fundamental interests of the Chinese nation, but also profoundly shows that the mainland is always standing on the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. With the historical height of the development of cross-strait relations in the new era, we have always adhered to the overall interests of the Chinese nation to grasp the overall situation of cross-strait relations.

　　He also pointed out that containing the "Taiwan independence" forces and external forces, and realizing the reunification of the motherland and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation are the great cause that all Chinese people pursue.

While fully demonstrating the will of the country, the white paper repeatedly uses the term "the Chinese people", which not only shows the consistency of the will of the people, the will of the Communist Party of China, and the will of the country, but also highlights the source of China's "anti-independence" efforts to promote reunification.

Outlined the bright prospects of peaceful reunification.

　　Experts believe that the peaceful reunification of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait is not only a blessing for the Chinese nation and Chinese people, but also a blessing for the international community and the people of the world.

　　Xie Yu said that some Western media have portrayed the Taiwan Strait as "the most dangerous area on earth" and continuously promoted the internationalization of security issues in the Taiwan region. Under this situation, the mainland has demonstrated its original intention and unremitting efforts for peaceful reunification, reflecting the peaceful reunification. The role in promoting economic development in the Asia-Pacific region and world peace shows that China is a defender of peace.

　　Yan Anlin believes that the pursuit of peaceful reunification shows that China is the most stable, rational and responsible force for peace. China's peaceful reunification will not harm the interests of any country. To achieve national unity for reference.

Never leave any space for "Taiwan independence" separatist activities

　　The white paper shows the firm will and determination of the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people to pursue the reunification of the motherland, and once again issued a warning against "relying on foreign countries to seek independence" and "using Taiwan to control China", which not only shows that the mainland is willing to create broad space for peaceful reunification, but also expresses reservations The option of taking all necessary measures, and the solemn position that will never leave any space for various forms of "Taiwan independence" separatist activities.
