The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a regular press conference today (13th).

At the meeting, a reporter asked: On March 6, when visiting members of the Kuomintang Revolutionary Committee attending the CPPCC meeting, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that the Kuomintang Revolutionary Committee should further find its correct position, give full play to its advantages, take active actions, and better unite in the overall situation of its work with Taiwan. All patriotic forces that can be united at home and abroad, and on and off the island, continue to strengthen their anti-independence and promote reunification forces and jointly promote the process of the peaceful reunification of the motherland.

We should actively promote cross-Strait exchanges and cooperation in science and technology, agriculture, humanities, youth development and other fields, and deepen cross-Strait integrated development in various fields.

Some public opinion believes that this shows that the mainland's policy towards Taiwan will not change due to the election results on the island, but its efforts to oppose "independence", promote reunification, and promote integration will be strengthened.

Any comments on this?

  Chen Binhua, spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said that the central government's policy policy towards Taiwan is clear and consistent.

We will conscientiously study and understand the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important speech, adhere to the Party’s overall strategy for solving the Taiwan issue in the new era, firmly grasp the leadership and initiative in cross-Strait relations, and unswervingly promote the great cause of the reunification of the motherland.

Adhere to the one-China principle and the "1992 Consensus", resolutely oppose "Taiwan independence" separatism and external interference, promote cross-Strait economic and cultural exchanges and cooperation, deepen cross-Strait integrated development in all fields, and unite all Chinese people, including compatriots on both sides, to jointly promote peace in the motherland reunification process and jointly create the great historical cause of motherland reunification and national rejuvenation.

For a long time, all democratic parties have given full play to their respective advantages, actively made suggestions, carried out a lot of work, and made important contributions to promoting cross-Strait exchanges and cooperation, enhancing mutual understanding between compatriots on both sides of the Strait, and promoting the development of cross-Strait relations.

The Taiwan Affairs Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council will strengthen contact and communication with various democratic parties and people's organizations to jointly implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech and do a good job in dealing with Taiwan in the new era.
