Following 1993 and 2000, on August 10, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council and the Information Office of the State Council published the white paper "Taiwan Issue and the cause of China's Unification in the New Era". The white paper sorted out the historical momentum of the Taiwan issue, summarized the complex status quo of the Taiwan issue, and looked forward to a bright future for the reunification of the motherland.
Taiwan Issue White Paper
Taiwan Issue has a long history. It has been more than 130 years since it was ceded by the Qing government at that time after the defeat of , , and after Japan was defeated in 1945, it has been more than 130 years since it was ceded by the Qing government at that time. The history of more than 100 years of separation of flesh and blood is the pain of the Chinese nation's skin-cutting and heart-cutting pain. The Taiwan issue must be resolved, and the Taiwan issue must be resolved after all, and the Taiwan issue can be resolved. The long-standing political differences between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait are the root cause that affects the steady and long-term development of cross-strait relations and cannot be passed on from generation to generation. Leaving the problem to the next generation for solving it indefinitely and without principles is tantamount to evading historical responsibility, ignoring historical responsibility, and leniency.
Taiwan’s motherland reunification issue cannot be delayed indefinitely
We strive for peaceful reunification with the greatest sincerity and the best efforts. After peaceful reunification, Taiwan can implement a high degree of autonomy as a special administrative region on the premise of ensuring national sovereignty, security and development interests. The Taiwan Special Administrative Region can implement a social system different from the mainland of the motherland, implement a high degree of autonomy in accordance with the law, and the two social systems coexist for a long time and develop together. This is the outline of the Taiwan Special Administrative Region after peaceful reunification planned by the white paper.
Taiwan Special Administrative Region
So what should the most intuitive appearance of the Taiwan Special Administrative Region after peaceful reunification - administrative divisions? What might it look like? Let's add some details.
Currently, the actual jurisdiction of Taiwan Province is in addition to the Taiwan island, there are several outlying island areas: 1. Taiping Island in . 2. Dongsha Island . 3. Kinmen Island and its nearby islands. 4. Mazu Island and its nearby islands. 5.Penghu Islands . An outlying island area that should be under the jurisdiction of Taiwan Province but is actually under the mainland according to law: 6. Diaoyu Islands , Chiwei Island Islands. Some of these areas are indeed too far from Taiwan’s main island, and the management cost is too high to be directly assigned to Taiwan Province, and there are legal issues. In the past, the pseudo-rule of the Kuomintang pseudo-rule had established Fujian Province for a long time, nominally governing some of the areas. After peaceful reunification, it is recommended that the administrative division issues in the above six regions be dealt with separately based on the principles that are conducive to national defense, saving management costs and improving management efficiency.
1. Taiping Island. Located in the Nansha Islands of South China Sea, my country. Taiping Island has an area of about 0.51 square kilometers and was once the largest island in the Nansha Islands. Currently, the island has a population of about 200, mainly military and political personnel and their families. The closest distance to Taiwan’s main island is about 1,500 kilometers. Currently, it is actually occupied by Taiwan Province and is actually under the jurisdiction of Kaohsiung City, Taiwan Province. Taiwan Province originally actually occupied several islands near Taiping Island, but because it had no time to support it, it actually lost other islands in bad weather and allowed foreign military forces to steal them to this day. On the contrary, the island is about 1,000 kilometers away from Hainan Province, and is located in the central area of , Sansha City, and the surrounding islands are distributed with foreign military forces. Therefore, in order to facilitate the protection of the territory of Nansha and improve management efficiency, it is recommended to return the Taiping Island Administrative Region to Sansha City, Hainan Province after unification. The current military and political personnel on the island will be withdrawn from the Taiwan Special Administrative Region, or will be transferred to relevant departments of Hainan Province according to the wishes of the personnel stationed on the island, and their families will be properly resettled.

2. Dongsha Islands. The Dongsha Islands are located in the northeast of the South China Sea in my country, about 310 kilometers away from the Pearl River Estuary, and about 450 kilometers away from the Taiwan Island in Taiwan. The land area of the island is about 1.8 square kilometers, and the entire atoll area, including the lake, is about 420 square kilometers. The Dongsha Islands are currently actually managed by Taiwan Province and are classified as Kaohsiung City, Taiwan Province. The personnel resident on the island basically come from Taiwan’s military and political organs and their families.The Dongsha Islands have a very special geographical location, which guards the import and export of the southern part of the Taiwan Strait, and also protects the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao urban agglomeration of the Pearl River Estuary, and has outstanding military value. Therefore, after unification, in order to protect the territorial and economic security of the Nandamen area of my country and improve administrative efficiency, it is recommended to divide the administrative district of the Dongsha Islands into Shanwei City, Guangdong Province, and change it to Dongsha District, Shanwei City, or newly set it as a county-level Dongsha City managed by Shanwei City . The current island-based personnel will be withdrawn from the Taiwan Special Administrative Region, or will be transferred to relevant departments in Guangdong Province according to the wishes of the island-based personnel, and their families will be properly resettled.

3. Kinmen Island and its nearby islands. Kinmen Island and its nearby islands are about 10 kilometers away from Xiamen City , with an area of more than 150 square kilometers and a population of about 105,000. Currently, Taiwan Province is set as Kinmen County . After the unification, it is recommended that the administrative regions of Jinma Island and its nearby islands be classified as Fujian Province, and to explore and create the prefecture-level Kinmen Special Administrative Region of Fujian Province will be managed in accordance with the management of the Taiwan Special Administrative Region. By then, Xiamen and Kinmen Sisters will be highly integrated economically and have their own advantages in politics.

4.Mazu Island and its nearby islands. Mazu Island and its surrounding areas have a total area of about 29 square kilometers. It was originally Mazu Township, Lianjiang County, mainland China. It is now under the actual jurisdiction of Taiwan Province and is set as Lianjiang County, Taiwan Province (the administrative division was transferred to the pseudo-Fujian Province before the abolition of the pseudo-Fujian Province). The geographical relationship with mainland Lianjiang County is similar to the relationship between Kinmen and Xiamen. After the unification, Lianjiang County, which is now under the actual jurisdiction of Taiwan Province, was renamed to Fujian Province and was renamed Mazu City (county level). It explored and created the county-level Fujian Mazu Special Administrative Region, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the Fujian Provincial Government and is managed in accordance with the Taiwan Special Administrative Region.

5. Penghu Islands. Currently, it is actually under the jurisdiction of Taiwan Province and is set to Penghu County . After the establishment of the Taiwan Special Administrative Region, the current situation remains under the jurisdiction of the Taiwan Special Administrative Region.
Penghu Islands
6. Diaoyu Islands and Chiwei Island Islands. Diaoyu Islands and Chiwei Island Islands are located on the continental shelf of the East my country Sea area of East China Sea and are both permanent islands without residents. Diaoyu Island is about 360 kilometers away from Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province and about 190 kilometers away from Keelung City, Taiwan Province. Chiweiyu is about 420 kilometers away from Wenzhou City, about 280 kilometers away from Keelung City, and about 135 kilometers away from Ryukyu Islands (daily occupied). The Chiwei Island Island of Diaoyu Island is the easternmost territory in the East my country Sea, close to foreign forces. Although it is legally governed by Keelung City, Taiwan Province and is relatively close to Taiwan Island, Taiwan Province does not have the ability to actually control this area. There are no permanent residents in this area and there is no need to consider the issue of resettlement of residents. Its main value is reflected in territorial security, transportation channel safety, and underwater resource safety. Therefore, after peaceful reunification, it is recommended to the administrative divisions of the Diaoyu Islands and Chiwei Island Islands to the jurisdiction of the Taiwan Special Administrative Region and be renamed to the jurisdiction of Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province.
Diaoyu Island Chiwei Island Island
According to this idea, after peaceful reunification (the premise must be peaceful reunification), the administrative division of the Taiwan Special Administrative Region is divided into Taiwan Island main island and the nearby Penghu Islands. Other regions will be built or renamed to other provinces. What is the idea of
? Is it feasible? It is better to have different opinions on the person.
