[Cover language] The Taiwan authorities once again stood opposite to the people's hearts.
[Text] At the beginning of 2019, President Xi Jinping proposed at the 40th anniversary commemoration meeting of the "Message to Compatriots in Taiwan" that it can be the first to realize the proposal of water, electricity, ventilation and bridge in Kinmen, Mazu and Fujian coastal areas, which has inspired all walks of life in Fujian.
At the occasion of the Fujian Provincial Two Sessions, Provincial Party Secretary Yu Weiguo said in attending the joint group discussion of the Second Session of the 12th Fujian Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference that Fujian will continue to increase efforts in its work with Taiwan, further deepen cross-strait integration and development, accelerate the pace of water, electricity, ventilation and bridges, , and put more effort into "equal treatment" , so that Taiwanese compatriots can enjoy more equal, universal and convenient basic public services and have a greater sense of gain.
Fujian Governor Tang Dengjie also pointed out when he delivered a government work report to the conference at the Second Session of the 13th Fujian Provincial People's Congress that in 2019, Fujian will promote the economic and social integration of Fujian and Taiwan, and promote the connection of water, electricity, ventilation and bridges with Jinma.
All sectors on both sides of the Taiwan Strait pay close attention to the "New Four Connections". Xiamen-Jintong Bridge Reciprocity Cross-strait Initiative has been widely responded to by Taiwanese businessmen.
Executive Vice President of Xiamen Taiwan Association Chen Daihua said that is very grateful to the central government for proposing the "New Four Connections" . He believes that the most important thing is to connect the bridge. Xiamen and Jin Bridge is to connect the hearts of the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and is an important step in promoting the integrated development of cross-straits.
He believes that Xiamen and Jin are the pioneering pilot zone for the integration and development of cross-straits. The two cities are geographically similar and have similar languages. It should start with deepening grassroots exchanges between the two places. promotes the concept of transformation into the integration of two cities. "The cooperation between Kinmen and Xiamen will become a very important example, or even a very important process for cross-strait exchanges in the future."
In 2018, Fujian officially opened water to Kinmen water supply project, and the beautiful vision of "one family on both sides of the Taiwan Straits and one river of water" became a reality.
Xiamen, vice president of the Fujian Kinmen Compatriot Association, has been paying attention to cross-strait exchanges, especially the exchange and development between Kinmen Matsu and the mainland. He said that the residents in Kinmen were only 50,000 to 60,000, but their relatives, Kinmen residents in Taiwan have about 300,000 to 300,000, "The small Kinmen water is available, but in fact, it is the work of people's hearts when you go to Taiwan.".
In the new year, the Fujian Provincial Government Work Report proposed to promote the "four connections" and "three transformations" to promote the integrated economic and social development of Fujian and Taiwan, and promote water, electricity, ventilation and bridges with Kinmen Matsu. Chen Chen was very excited about this. Chen Cheng said that these goals are related to the people's livelihood and well-being. For the residents living on Kinmen Island and several affiliated islands, the government is also what the people are eager to think of. If we seize the time to make pragmatic policies and implementations, we will make greater progress.
"One bridge spreads between the two sides of the straits, and the natural barrier becomes a thoroughfare. has "new four connections" with Kinmen and Mazu. Fujian's coastal areas can be bolder to try and open bridges first." , President of Xiamen Taiwan Association, Wu Jiaying, issued an initiative to connect bridges between Xiamen and Kinmen, calling on Taiwanese businessmen to contribute money and efforts to promote the connection between Xiamen and Jinmen to become a reality. . Wu Jiaying believes that Fujian's largest platform and space is to make greater contributions to the peaceful reunification of the two sides of the strait.
Wu Jiaying, who is attending the Fujian Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference in Fuzhou, told reporters excitedly that once his initiative was issued, it received positive responses from Taiwanese businessmen in mainland China, including Beijing, Shanghai and Xiamen. asked about the way of spending money and efforts, and Taiwanese compatriots also contacted friends on the island, hoping that knowledgeable people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait would work together to promote negotiation cooperation, which inspired him, the advocate.
He pointed out to reporters that there are nearly 2 million passengers in Xiamen and Jin Dynasty every year, but due to weather such as typhoons and heavy fog, the Xiamen route is suspended from sailing. If can be opened, the natural barrier can be turned into a thoroughfare. It not only narrows the spatial distance between the two places, but also narrows the distance between the compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, which is of great historical significance.
This year's "nine-in-one" elections on the island, many counties and cities were elected by candidates who supported the "1992 Consensus". Wu Jiaying believes that economic and trade exchanges between cities across the Taiwan Strait will inevitably be more enthusiastic. For example, Kaohsiung has only a 6-hour voyage between Xiamen and Xiamen. After the Xiamen-Jintong Bridge is realized, Kinmen can be used as a free trade port, so that goods from both sides of the Taiwan Strait can be transited here, and sold to the international community with the help of the mainland's "Belt and Road" strategy. "Taiwan's goods are concentrated in Kinmen, Kinmen is here to do inspection work. If this bridge is opened, it can be directly pulled to the Belt and Road China-Europe special train and directly send the products to Europe.
Fujian hotly discusses the new "four links". Taiwanese media are concerned about the attitude of the mainland. At the regular press conference of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council this morning (1.16, 2019), the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council issued a report on the regular press conference of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council today (1.16, 2019). Speaking on this question, Ma Xiaoguang said that in his important speech on January 2, General Secretary Xi Jinping proposed a series of policy proposals to deepen cross-strait integration and development, continue to be the first to share the opportunities of mainland development with Taiwan compatriots and promote the welfare of Taiwan compatriots. proposed "The two sides of the Taiwan Strait should be connected as much as possible", and proposed that "it can be the first to realize Kinmen, Mazu and Fujian. Coastal areas are equipped with water, electricity, ventilation and bridges." Fujian Province conscientiously implements the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech and will actively promote relevant work.
comprehensive integration and development between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, starting with the mainland Fujian Province and the Jinma region, with the mainland central policy guidance and Fujian's comprehensive promotion, and the continuous release of benefits not only makes mainland Taiwanese businessmen happy, but also makes Kinmen County Mayor Yang Zhenjun is excited about . He only stated not long ago that "cross-strait urban exchanges, Kinmen roles should be more active." Yang Zhenjun of responded positively and said-
Kinmen needs the most people's livelihood resources, as well as cooperation and exchanges for economic development. Kinmen will grasp the cross-strait opportunities and atmosphere. He further stated that the county government plans to organize a group to visit Fujian Provincial officials before the Spring Festival. He said that although the time is still coordinating, Kinmen will propose that it be first The exchange practices and cooperation directions are tried first, and the cooperation between the two sides is strived for the cooperation between the two sides. I hope everything goes well and there will be specific results soon.
However, according to Taiwan media reports, Mainland Affairs Council immediately stepped forward to the brakes. When responded to media inquiries, warned and strongly once again moved out the so-called cross-strait affairs. The matter was sensitive and had far-reaching impact. The power was not in place. The Mainland Affairs Council should be fully measured and carefully evaluated by the "central central government". The Mainland Affairs Council also pointed out that the "New Four Connections" is the "differentiation" of the mainland from the central government to the local government, based on the premise of "unification".
The Mainland Affairs Council's "warning" is not surprising. When supplied water to Kinmen last year, the Taiwan authorities had this attitude, and "political consciousness" took charge, and once again stood on the opposite side of public opinion.
In fact, with Kinmen and Fujian in close contacts, the transportation between the two places has long been in short supply by relying on "small three links", and the call for building a cross-sea bridge is increasing. Taiwan's senior media person Dong Zhisen once said that Xiamen Jintong Bridge is a requirement for Kinmen Island, which was once alone on the sea, is . Realizing the bridge is very important for Kinmen. Land transportation connections will not stop sailing due to wind, waves, and fog. You can travel at any time Connect. Moreover, when you cross the bridge in the future, Xiamen Xiang'an International Airport will be faced with an international perspective. The benefits of connecting bridges to Taiwan are far greater than their benefits to the mainland. Chen Fuhai, former county magistrate of Kinmen County, directly stated that If the Taiwan authorities regard Kinmen as a demonstration zone for peaceful development for the first time on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and consider the future of Kinmen residents and Taiwan, so that the two sides of the Taiwan Strait can have more friendly exchanges, "the so-called obstacles will not be obstacles."
