China News Service, January 11th. On the 11th, Ma Xiaoguang, spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, looked forward to reviewing and summarizing cross-strait relations in 2022 at a regular press conference, and looked forward to the development of cross-strait relations in 2023.
Ma Xiaoguang said that in 2022, cross-strait relations will be complicated and severe.
Under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, we have firmly grasped the dominance and initiative in cross-strait relations, united compatriots on both sides of the strait to promote the development of cross-strait relations, and made new progress in our work with Taiwan.
We have effectively guided the development of cross-strait relations in the right direction.
The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China solemnly announced the new era and new journey for Taiwan's major policies and decision-making arrangements, providing a fundamental follow-up and action guide for doing a good job in dealing with Taiwan, and has far-reaching significance for promoting the development of cross-strait relations and the process of reunification of the motherland.
We released the white paper "Taiwan Issue and the Cause of China's Reunification in the New Era", held a symposium on the 30th anniversary of the "1992 Consensus", and a series of activities such as the second "Joining Hands to Realize Dreams" theme event, and continued to clarify the history of the Taiwan issue to Taiwan compatriots and the international community Jingwei and Taiwan's major policies, the party's Taiwan policies are more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
We actively promote the peaceful and integrated development of cross-strait relations.
Practice the people-centered development philosophy, always respect, care for, and benefit Taiwan compatriots, and constantly improve systems and policies that improve the well-being of Taiwan compatriots.
Support Fujian and other places to explore new paths for cross-strait integration and development, continue to optimize the Taiwan-related business environment, help Taiwanese businessmen and enterprises integrate into the new development pattern, and participate in high-quality development. The annual cross-strait trade volume and Taiwanese investment in the mainland remain generally stable.
Actively promote cross-strait exchanges and cooperation, promote compatriots on both sides of the strait to jointly carry forward the excellent traditional Chinese culture, and successfully hold more than 600 key cross-strait exchange projects such as the 10th Straits Forum, the 2022 Cross-Strait Entrepreneur Summit Annual Meeting, and the Cross-Strait Youth Summit.
Many Taiwan compatriots are chasing, building and realizing their dreams in the mainland, and the atmosphere of "a family on both sides of the strait" is even stronger.
We resolutely carry out major struggles against separatism and interference.
"Taiwan independence" separatist activities and external interference are the root causes of the current tense and turbulent situation in the Taiwan Strait, seriously endangering the fundamental interests of the Chinese nation and the vital interests of Taiwan compatriots.
We have taken a series of powerful measures to resolutely smash all forms of "independence" provocations and external interference attempts, further grasp the strategic initiative to realize the complete reunification of the motherland, and further consolidate the international community's adherence to the one-China pattern.
"Relying on foreign countries for independence" and "using Taiwan to control China" are unpopular and doomed to failure.
The mainstream public opinion in Taiwan that seeks peace, stability, and development is more evident.
In the new year, we will fully implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the overall strategy of the Party for solving the Taiwan issue in the new era, adhere to the basic policy of "peaceful reunification, one country, two systems", adhere to the one-China principle and the "1992 Consensus", and resolutely oppose the " "Taiwan independence" split and foreign interference, insist on uniting the majority of Taiwan compatriots, jointly promote the peaceful development and integrated development of cross-strait relations, promote the process of reunification of the motherland, and work together to create the long-term well-being of the Chinese nation.
