　　"The historical trend of complete reunification of the motherland is unstoppable"

　　Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era.

The Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core will coordinate the overall strategy of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the great changes in the world unseen in a century, grasp the changing times of cross-strait relations, enrich and develop the theory of national unity and policies on Taiwan, and form a new era for the Party to solve the Taiwan issue. The overall strategy of the new era provides fundamental compliance and action guidelines for Taiwan work in the new era.

　　"We have a stronger foundation for reunification, more adequate conditions, and stronger capabilities. We are more confident, capable, and closer to realizing the complete reunification of the motherland than ever before." The Taiwan Affairs Office of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council Liu Jieyi, director of the Taiwan Affairs Office, said in a video speech that the Taiwan issue arose out of national weakness and chaos, and will surely be resolved with the rejuvenation of the nation.

The historical trend of complete reunification of the motherland is irresistible and irresistible.

This is where our confidence and determination lie, as well as where our confidence and determination lie.

　　"The compatriots on both sides of the strait have the same roots, the same language and the same species, and they are a family whose blood is thicker than water." Zhou Ji, deputy secretary of the CPC Henan Provincial Committee, said in his speech that we will thoroughly implement the party's overall strategy for solving the Taiwan issue in the new era, and deepen the Henan-Taiwan economic and trade cooperation and people-to-people and cultural exchanges have contributed to the peaceful development of cross-strait relations and the reunification of the motherland.

　　"The dark clouds will go away, and the light will come"

　　This year marks the 35th anniversary of cross-strait exchanges.

Thirty-five years ago, with the joint efforts of compatriots on both sides of the strait, the long-term isolation between the two sides of the strait was finally broken, opening the door for cross-strait exchanges.

During this period, as an important platform for cross-strait think tanks, experts, scholars and people from all walks of life to exchange ideas, enlighten their thinking, and promote the development of cross-strait relations, the cross-strait relations seminar has played an important role in enhancing communication between compatriots on both sides of the strait and gathering the wisdom and strength of compatriots on both sides of the strait.

　　"Although many guests were unable to attend the conference due to subjective and objective reasons, this seminar was successfully held through a combination of online and offline methods, which fully shows that the trend of communication between people on both sides of the strait is unstoppable." Beijing United Zhu Songling, a professor at the University's Taiwan Research Institute, said that the dark clouds between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait will always dissipate, and a bright future will eventually come.

　　"In the context of the current situation in the Taiwan Strait that continues to be complicated and severe, this seminar is at the right time." Zheng Jian, director of the Strategy and Security Research Center of the Taiwan Research Institute of Xiamen University, said that on August 17th, it coincided with the "Eighth Eighth National Day" between China and the United States. It has been 40 years since the publication of the 17th Communiqué.

Decades have passed, and instead of keeping its promises, the United States has reversed the course of history. "The US is the initiator of the tension and turmoil in the Taiwan Strait, and the trend of cross-strait exchanges has always been unstoppable."

　　"It won't change, because the will of the 1.4 billion people cannot be violated"

　　Since the DPP authorities came to power, they have refused to recognize the "1992 Consensus" and stubbornly adhered to the "Taiwan independence" separatist line, undermining the political foundation for the peaceful development of cross-strait relations and causing tension and turmoil in cross-strait relations.

External forces are frequently playing the "Taiwan card", condoning the instigation of "Taiwan independence" separatist forces to stir up trouble and provocation, intensifying cross-strait confrontation and tension across the Taiwan Strait.

Not long ago, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council and the Information Office of the State Council issued a white paper titled "The Taiwan Issue and China's Reunification in the New Era", which showed the historical trend of peaceful reunification, clarified the policy proposition of peaceful reunification, and pointed out a bright future for peaceful reunification.

　　"Cross-Strait relations have gone through historical ups and downs and are always changing. But some things will never change." Yu Muming, former chairman of the New Party, pointed out that Taiwan is a province of China and will never change, and the fact that both sides of the strait are Chinese will never change. It will never change, the goal of cross-strait reunification will never change, and the mission of both sides of the strait to pursue the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation will never change.

"It won't change, because the public opinion of the 1.4 billion Chinese people cannot be violated." Yu Muming's answer was strong.

　　"Maintaining stable cross-strait relations is in the best interests of the people on both sides of the strait." Lin Zujia, special adviser of the Chinese Kuomintang and director of the Mainland Affairs Department, said that the Chinese Kuomintang will continue to promote the two sides of the strait to strengthen exchanges and cooperation on the basis of adhering to the "1992 Consensus" and opposing "Taiwan independence" to maintain peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait.

　　"Integrate into the mainland and realize the dream of life"

　　"The prosperity of the youth makes the country prosper, and the youth is strong, the country is strong. The future of the motherland and the nation rests on the young people." Although there are many difficulties in cross-strait exchanges, the desire of compatriots on both sides of the strait to get closer to relatives has not weakened, and exchanges and cooperation in various fields have not stopped. The development of cross-strait integration continues to advance and deepen.

More and more Taiwanese youths come to the mainland to study, work and start businesses, integrate into this land, and realize their dreams in life.

　　"The new version of the white paper shows the greatest goodwill to the vast number of Taiwan compatriots. National reunification and national rejuvenation are increasingly condensed into the consensus of the vast number of Taiwan compatriots." Wang Yuqing, a Taiwan youth representative and a Ph.D. from Peking University, said that he hoped that more Taiwanese youth would come to the mainland for development. "There is a realization here. The stage of life’s dreams is our common home.”

　　"Reunification is the common wish of compatriots on both sides of the strait." Chen Yaku, a Taiwan youth representative and deputy director of Ruyi Kindergarten, said that he hopes that Taiwan compatriots who develop in the mainland can change their consciousness, "We are the 'hosts' here, not the 'guests'. , the measures to benefit Taiwan are only a transitional way on the road to unification, and the compatriots on both sides of the strait are originally a family."

　　History cannot be chosen, it can be grasped now, and the future can be created.

As Chen Yuanfeng, deputy director of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, mentioned in his concluding speech, "Compatriots on both sides of the strait must always stand on the right side of history, have a deep sense of righteousness, speak up in righteousness, take a clear stand against 'Taiwan independence' and interference by external forces, and make joint efforts. To promote the reunification of the motherland and realize the historical great cause of national rejuvenation." (End)
