Fujian Xiamen Satellite TV reporter: Please introduce the latest progress in the implementation of the "31 measures to benefit Taiwan compatriots" in various regions and departments.
Anfengshan: In February this year, after we introduced the "31 measures" to promote cross-strait economic and cultural exchanges and cooperation, all regions and departments have conscientiously and fully implemented it and successively introduced specific measures. So far, 30 places in 13 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities have introduced more specific measures in light of the actual situation of their regions and departments, which have been widely recognized and welcomed by the majority of Taiwanese compatriots and Taiwanese enterprises. Here I will introduce to you the latest progress in several provinces and cities.
htmlOn September 12, Jiangsu Province issued the "Several Implementation Opinions on Deepening Economic and Cultural Exchanges and Cooperation in Jiangsu and Taiwan", covering four aspects: supporting Taiwanese-funded enterprises to improve quality and efficiency, expand talent exchanges and cooperation between Jiangsu and Taiwan, deepening social and cultural integration between Jiangsu and Taiwan, and providing equal treatment for Taiwanese compatriots to come to Jiangsu to study, employment, entrepreneurship and life, with a total of 76 measures. On the same day, Yancheng City, Jiangsu Province also issued the "Several Measures on Promoting Economic and Cultural Exchange and Cooperation in Yantai", and introduced 50 specific measures in three aspects: promoting Yantai economic and trade cooperation, enhancing Yantai cultural exchanges, and creating a convenient life for Taiwanese compatriots. htmlOn September 15, Shaanxi Province announced the "Implementation Opinions on Promoting Economic and Cultural Exchanges and Cooperation in Shaanxi and Taiwan", and introduced 60 specific measures in promoting economic cooperation in Shaanxi and Taiwan, cultural exchanges, encouraging entrepreneurship and employment, and facilitating study and life. htmlOn September 13, Zhejiang Province, Jiaxing City, Jiaxing City, issued the "Implementation Measures for the Implementation of Several Measures on Promoting Cross-Strait Economic and Cultural Exchange and Cooperation", including vigorously promoting the construction of high-quality Taiwanese capital agglomeration sites, encouraging and supporting Taiwanese compatriots to start businesses and innovate in Jiaxing , and focusing on creating an environment for Taiwanese compatriots to live and work in peace and contentment. htmlOn September 19, Xiamen City, Fujian Province further formulated implementation rules based on the previously issued "60 Measures". After each measure, specific policies, application conditions, materials to be submitted, contact persons, contact numbers and service procedures of responsible units, etc., greatly facilitating Taiwanese compatriots and Taiwanese enterprises to inquire, understand and handle related business.China Central Radio and Television China National Radio News reporter: Recently, several Taiwan polls showed that the proportion of dissatisfied with the DPP authorities' cross-strait policies has risen sharply, and the proportion of supporting cross-strait reunification has reached a new high. The public opinion on the island shows a trend of "unified rise and fall independently". How does the spokesperson comment on this?
Anfengshan: I will not comment on specific polls.
What I want to explain here is that the compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are a community of shared future connected by flesh and blood. We uphold the concept of "one family on both sides of the Taiwan Strait", and continue to introduce a series of policy measures that benefit Taiwan compatriots, including "31 measures", supplying water to Kinmen, canceling employment permits for Taiwanese residents to come to the mainland, and issuing Taiwanese residents' residence permits . We are the first to share the development opportunities of mainland China with Taiwanese compatriots, providing the same treatment as mainland China for Taiwanese compatriots to study, find employment, start businesses, and live in the mainland, and strive to do practical things, do good things, and solve problems, which has been widely praised by Taiwanese compatriots. If you follow the public's wishes, you will naturally win the people's hearts.
With the development and progress of the mainland, as our policies and policies towards Taiwan have achieved practical results and are becoming increasingly popular, more and more Taiwanese compatriots see that the mainland is their future for improving interests and welfare and realizing their life ideals, and realizes that realizing national reunification is in line with the fundamental interests of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
Fujian Straits Satellite TV reporter: days ago, Tsai Ing-wen said that the mainland created "fake news" during the Taiwan local elections, causing confrontation in Taiwan. What is the spokesperson’s comment on this?
Anfengshan: We have never intervened in elections in Taiwan. During elections, in order to conceal the poor governance and transfer criticism from the people, the DPP and its authorities always try every means to spread rumors and smear the mainland, destroy cross-strait relations and gain the interests of their election by manipulating hostility and opposition to the mainland. This is their usual political manipulation technique and fully exposes their political nature. These remarks and practices of the DPP authorities are creating and disseminating "fake news".Here, I give a recent example. The last time I asked about the rescue of trapped passengers at Kansai Airport during the storm in Japan. At that time, I only made a simple comment using "The clear one will be clear, and the turbid one will be turbid." In fact, at that time, the DPP authorities, some politicians and specific media on the island deliberately distorted the facts and diverted the focus in order to cover up the dilemma of failing to treat the trapped compatriots in time. Some posted photos online that the airport connection bridge was broken and the cars outside could not enter at all. Later, it was proved that the photos were deliberately cut to cover up the fact that they actually passed; some said that the airport did not allow cars outside, so it was fake news to send cars to pick up people in mainland China, but they did not mention that our Consulate General in Osaka negotiated with Kansai Airport and coordinated with the airport, and specially sent six batches of buses to connect Chinese passengers from the airport to the assembly site outside, and then our consulate sent a shuttle bus to transport passengers to Osaka city. Their purpose of doing this is to cover up a basic fact: 1,044 Chinese tourists were quickly, safely and smoothly transferred with the help of our Consulate General in Osaka, including 32 Taiwanese compatriots. Over the years, who has been silently doing good things for his compatriots in Taiwan, and who is ruining the good things for his compatriots in Taiwan, I think there is a scale in the hearts of his compatriots in Taiwan. It is destined to be impossible to fool the Taiwanese people by deception.
Xinhua News Agency reporter: According to reports, Taiwan’s administrative department has made it clear that it will regulate Taiwanese people who apply for residence permits in the mainland, including restricting their rights on the island. What is the spokesperson’s comment on this?
Anfengshan: We have stated many times that the residence permit of Taiwanese residents is issued in response to the needs of the majority of Taiwanese compatriots. It is a measure to facilitate Taiwanese compatriots to study, work and live in the mainland, and does not involve adjustments to the political rights and obligations of Taiwanese residents. Taiwanese compatriots do not need to give up their Taiwan ID card and household registration when applying for a residence permit, nor do they need to have a mainland household registration. Moreover, the application for a Taiwanese resident residence permit is completely voluntary, and whether to apply for it is entirely up to the Taiwanese compatriots themselves to decide, and there is no mandatory requirement. This policy that is convenient and beneficial to the people has actively responded to the demands of the majority of Taiwanese compatriots, so it follows the public's wishes and wins the hearts of the people, and has been widely welcomed by Taiwanese compatriots.
Anfengshan: We have introduced this policy to further extend the previous introduction of the "31 measures". It is to provide Taiwanese compatriots who study, work and live in the mainland with the same treatment as mainland residents, and to create more convenient conditions for the majority of Taiwanese compatriots to share the development opportunities of the mainland. Facts have proved that we are constantly working hard to do practical things, do good things and solve problems for our compatriots in Taiwan. In sharp contrast, the DPP authorities ignore the vital interests of their Taiwanese compatriots and continue to obstruct and intimidate. For the selfishness of one party and ulterior political purposes, they continue to ruin the good things of their Taiwanese compatriots. This further exposes their nature and can only further lose people's hearts.
Taiwan Zhongtian TV reporter: wants to ask two questions. The first problem is that the mainland has recently cracked more than 100 Taiwanese espionage cases. It is reported that Taiwanese intelligence personnel have bribed money and induced pornographically to collect intelligence against mainland students in Taiwan. The Mainland Affairs Council stated that this is "false". Please comment and respond to this matter. Will this incident affect the willingness of mainland students to study in Taiwan in the future? The second question is about the recent agreement between the Vatican and the mainland for bishop appointments. Taiwan said that the relationship between Taiwan and the Vatican is still very stable, and Taiwan will continue to strengthen high-level visits with the Vatican. Please respond.
Anfengshan: The first question about you, I have expressed our attitude on this matter before. For a period of time, Taiwan's spy intelligence agencies have targeted the mainland and carried out large-scale intelligence theft and infiltration sabotage activities. The state security organs organized the "2018-Thunder" special operation, cracking more than 100 Taiwanese espionage cases. With state-owned national laws, these illegal activities will be severely punished by law. We do this entirely to act in accordance with the law, to safeguard national security, to maintain normal exchanges between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, and to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.Facts outweigh words. Some departments in Taiwan avoid facts, confuse right and wrong, and make a comeback, which can only prove that they are guilty of being a thief.
Here I would like to emphasize that the mainland has always actively supported cross-strait education exchanges and cooperation, and we encourage young students on both sides of the Taiwan Strait to have more exchanges. However, Taiwan's spy intelligence agencies used despicable means to extend their magic hands to young students who were not well-educated in Taiwan, which seriously harmed the interests of mainland students and seriously undermined cross-strait education exchanges. We require relevant parties in Taiwan to immediately stop any infiltration and sabotage activities that endanger national security and effectively protect the personal safety of mainland students.
Your second question, the one-China principle is our basic principle for dealing with Taiwan’s foreign exchanges, and it is also an important political foundation for our development of relations with countries around the world. As for the issue of China-Vatican relations, it is recommended that you ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Strait Voice Radio Station Reporter: The spokesperson just mentioned the convenience of the residence permit. I would like to ask you to give specific examples of what conveniences Taiwanese residents enjoy after applying for a residence permit?
Anfengshan: The "Measures for the Application and Issuance of Residence Permits for Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan" has been widely welcomed and affirmed by the majority of Taiwanese compatriots and has received strong responses. Since the implementation of the Measures on September 1, Taiwanese compatriots from all walks of life have been very enthusiastic about applying for it. After obtaining the residence permit, some Taiwanese compatriots purchased train tickets through self-service equipment at the train station with WeChat payment; some Taiwanese compatriots purchased tickets at the airport to check in and travel smoothly; some Taiwanese compatriots participated in social insurance locally and received and activated their social security cards; some Taiwanese compatriots applied for mainland mobile phone networking, etc.
What I want to say is that it is convenient and beneficial to the people, allowing certified Taiwanese compatriots to enjoy the three rights, six basic public services and nine conveniences provided by the state and place of residence, and enjoy the same treatment as mainland residents, which is the purpose of this policy. I believe that more and more Taiwanese compatriots will truly feel the convenience and benefits brought to them by this good policy.
Taiwan TVBS reporter: On September 25, the US government notified Congress to decide to sell weapons and equipment to Taiwan with a total amount of approximately US$330 million. What is the spokesperson's comment on this?
Regarding this matter, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Defense have expressed our solemn position. We firmly oppose any form of official exchanges and military ties between Taiwan and the United States, and firmly oppose the United States' sale of weapons to Taiwan under any excuse. I want to emphasize again that any act of tying foreign powers and undermining peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait will surely suffer the consequences.
Taiwan China Times reporter: two questions. The first question is that recently some media reported that the mainland intends to relax the application qualification for Taiwanese compatriots’ residence permit. For example, relax the residence time limit and apply as long as you have a marriage certificate and an employment certificate. In addition, in order to meet the registration and control practices of relevant departments in Taiwan, the mainland will no longer announce the specific number of Taiwanese compatriots' residence permits in the future. Please explain. The second question is that there is a Biyun Zen Temple in Changhua, Taiwan. Two years ago, Taiwanese businessmen established a "Socialist National Thought Patriotic Education Base". However, it was recently demolished by the Changhua County Government on the grounds of illegal construction this morning. Don’t you know what Taiwan Affairs Office comments on this aspect?
Anfengshan: Your first question, regarding the issue of residence permit, the purpose of our issuance of Taiwan residents' residence permit is to provide convenience to Taiwanese compatriots. According to the provisions of the "Measures for the Application and Issuance of Residence Permits for Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan", Taiwanese residents can voluntarily apply as long as they live in the mainland for more than half a year and provide corresponding supporting documents. During the application process, local public security organs will deal with it based on the specific circumstances of Taiwanese compatriots and try their best to meet their application needs.
Your second problem, this exposes that some people of the DPP are willing to condone "Taiwan independence" separatist activities while cracking down on and persecuting Taiwanese people who advocate unification. This practice will surely be opposed and condemned by the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
Shenzhen Satellite TV Reporter: two questions.The first question is that Woodward's new book "Fear: Trump in the White House" revealed that Trump once questioned what benefits the United States can get when protecting Taiwan. The Taiwan authorities emphasized that the United States is Taiwan’s most important ally. What is the spokesperson’s response? The second question is that Situ Wen, former director of the Taipei Office of the American Association in Taiwan, recently stated that if Taiwan chooses to reunify, the United States will not oppose it, but at the same time, it also stated that if the mainland tries to capture Taiwan by force without provocation, the United States will intervene. What is the spokesperson's comment on this?
Anfengshan: Regarding the first question, we have always emphasized that Taiwan’s future and destiny lies in the peaceful development of cross-strait relations, national reunification and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Unification is an unstoppable historical trend. Any practice of confronting this historical trend and attempting to take over foreign powers will ultimately harm the fundamental interests of Taiwanese compatriots.
Your second question, the Taiwan issue is China's internal affairs, and we firmly oppose any interference from external forces. Taiwan’s future should be jointly decided by more than 1.3 billion Chinese people, including their compatriots in Taiwan. We will strive for the prospect of peaceful reunification with the greatest sincerity. At the same time, our determination to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity is also unswerving. We will never allow the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces to split Taiwan from China in any form or in any name.
China News Service reporter: The first park on the island with the theme of "Commemorating the 'Taiwan independence' elements" Huang Zhaotang was officially put into use a few days ago. Chen Ju and others attended the opening ceremony. What does the spokesperson have to say about this?
An Fengshan: conducts the so-called "setting a monument" for "Taiwan independence" elements, which once again exposes the true nature of the DPP in Taiwan's support and condoning "Taiwan independence". What I want to emphasize is that "Taiwan independence" is a "dead-end road" that cannot be understood and will only lead the Taiwanese people into the abyss of disaster.
Global Network reporter: recently, media reported that the Taiwan Army Command recently decided to invest NT$1.66 billion to establish new bases in Taichung and Taitung , and claimed that this was to prevent sudden attacks taken by the mainland. What does the spokesperson think about this?
Anfengshan: We have always emphasized that the peaceful development of cross-strait relations is the fundamental guarantee for maintaining peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. This is a truth that everyone knows very well. Any attempt to confront each other with force will not succeed.
CCTV Twin Strait Reporter: Taiwan's foreign affairs department head frequently submits letters to foreign media, seeking United Nations to open the door to Taiwan. What do you think about this?
Anfengshan: The United Nations is composed of sovereign states and adheres to the one-China principle. Any attempt to challenge the one-China principle internationally will not succeed.
Economic Daily reporter: Recently, the 2018 Straits Science and Technology Forum and the 2018 Cross-Strait New Economy Forum were held one after another. We can see that the cooperation between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait in the fields of science and technology, economy and trade continues to advance and deepen. What new measures will the spokesperson take in the mainland in promoting cross-strait industrial exchanges and cooperation?
Anfengshan: Not long ago, the second Cross-Strait New Economy Forum co-organized by Xinhua News Agency and media under Taiwan Wangzhong Group was held in Beijing. More than 100 business people and financial experts from both sides of the Taiwan Strait gathered to discuss the theme of new opportunities for cross-strait economic and trade cooperation in the new era. Cross-strait economic and trade cooperation has unique unique advantages. Taiwanese businessmen should seize the new opportunities brought by mainland industrial transformation and upgrading, regional coordinated development and high-level opening up to usher in a broader development space.
The mainland has always adhered to the concept of "one family on both sides of the Taiwan Strait", and has successively introduced a series of policy measures that benefit Taiwan compatriots, including "31 measures", canceling employment permits for Taiwanese compatriots, and issuing Taiwanese resident residence permits. It has taken the lead in sharing the development opportunities of mainland China with Taiwanese compatriots, providing the same treatment as mainland compatriots for their study, employment, entrepreneurship and life in the mainland, and doing practical things and doing good things for Taiwanese compatriots.We also hope that while taking the mainland's development express train, participating in cross-strait economic exchanges and cooperation, and achieving its own career development, Taiwan's business community can be brave enough to take responsibility, firmly stand up for the correct position, actively exert its own influence, work with mainland compatriots to maintain and promote the peaceful development of cross-strait relations with practical actions, and promote the process of peaceful reunification of the motherland.
Hong Kong China Review News Agency reporter: After El Salvador and other countries broke off diplomatic relations with Taiwan, the United States recalled the ambassador to Latin America. A spokesperson for the US State Department recently said that maintaining close unofficial relations with Taipei and developing relations with Beijing is applicable to the United States and not necessarily to other countries. What is the spokesperson's response to the US statement?
An Fengshan: In response to the US’s unwarranted accusations on the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Saskatchewan, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has expressed our position many times. I would like to emphasize again that the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Xafrancis is a correct decision made by El Salvador based on the interests of its own country and people. The US remarks and practices have roughly interfered in other countries' internal affairs, and are also typical double standards, seriously violating the one-China policy it promises and the provisions of the three Sino-US joint communiqués.
China Taiwan Network reporter: On the occasion of the 87th anniversary of the 9.18 Incident, the chairman of the new party Yu Muming posted a message on Facebook on 718, lamenting that the Taiwanese people now have distorted historical views under the "de-Sinicization" education. He said that if they want to destroy their country, they will first destroy their history. Forget their ancestors for several classics, the disaster will affect future generations, and in the end they can only destroy themselves. Please comment from the spokesperson.
An Fengshan: We all know that Chinese history and Chinese culture are the common roots and souls of our compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. The DPP authorities support and condone the separatist forces of "Taiwan independence" and engage in this kind of "de-Sinicization" gradual "Taiwan independence" in the fields of history, culture, education, etc. In fact, they are doing the act of digging roots and drawing souls. This kind of backward behavior of forgetting one's ancestors will of course be jointly condemned and opposed by compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
People's Political Consultative Conference Daily Cross-Strait Economic and Political Consultative Conference Weekly reporter: two issues. First, with the continuous improvement of the international ranking of mainland universities in the past two years, more and more Taiwanese Youth Associations have chosen to study in mainland universities. I would like to ask a spokesperson to introduce the situation of Taiwanese youth studying in mainland China this year. Second, recently, a Taiwanese media published that in the work of targeted poverty alleviation in the mainland, many Taiwanese businessmen have appeared in rural areas in the mainland. Please give a spokesperson some introduction to the situation of Taiwanese compatriots participating in poverty alleviation in the mainland.
An Fengshan: Regarding the first question, judging from this year's enrollment situation, Taiwanese students are very enthusiastic about applying for mainland universities. Relevant universities in mainland China have taken active measures to expand the enrollment of Taiwanese students, and the number of admissions has increased significantly compared with the past. At present, relevant universities have made all preparations and will strive to provide convenient learning and living conditions for Taiwanese students. We have always actively supported cross-strait youth exchanges and have taken a series of measures to build platforms, create conditions and provide convenience for Taiwanese youth to study, practice, employment and entrepreneurship in the mainland. In the future, we will continue to introduce and improve relevant policies, welcome Taiwanese students to study and develop in the mainland, embark on a new journey of life, and realize their ideals in life.
Your second question is clearly stated in the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China that in 2020, we will complete the task of poverty alleviation, and now poverty alleviation is entering a critical stage. Taiwanese businessmen also play an active role in poverty alleviation and poverty alleviation work in mainland China. Not long ago, the News Bureau of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council and the Ministry of Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao of China Association of Journalists jointly hosted a joint interview with reporters from cross-straits on targeted poverty alleviation, and went to Gansu to interview local poverty alleviation work. Some of the reporters present also participated in this interview and sent back large-scale reports. You can make a reference.
Xinhua News Agency reporter: Recently, the mainland's palace drama " Story of Yanxi Palace " has been popular among Taiwanese audiences. Some data say that the number of clicks in Taiwan has exceeded 100 million times. How does the spokesperson evaluate the phenomenon of mainland film and television programs in Taiwan.
Anfengshan: Chinese culture is originally connected on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. Exchanges and cooperation in various fields including culture, film and television, entertainment and other aspects play an important role in enhancing mutual understanding between compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, harmonizing family affection between compatriots and achieving spiritual harmony.The two sides of the Taiwan Strait are originally one, and Chinese culture is the common spiritual home of our compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. This cannot be separated from any "de-Sinicization" behavior on the island.
Today's press conference ends here. The Mid-Autumn Festival has just passed and the National Day holiday is about to usher in. I wish you a happy National Day holiday. We'll see you next time, thank you!
