Recently, the 10th Straits Forum conference was held in Xiamen City, Fujian Province. The series of activities lasted from June 5 to June 11. reporter noticed at the forum that among the guests attending, there was a Taiwanese friend who was fully attending the "ninth session" - New Party Chairman Yu Muming . Unlike previous years, this year he also came on behalf of three Taiwanese youth to "make up" their regrets.
Who are these three young people? Why can't they visit the venue in person?
[Breached failed to make a move]
Events will start from last year.
From December 11 to 16, Yu Muming led a "mainland visiting delegation" to Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu and other places. This trip was regarded by the outside world as the "innovation journey" of the new party. During this period, leaders including Yu Zhengsheng, Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Li Qiang, Member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee and Secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee, and Lou Qinjian, Secretary of the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee, and other leaders met with members of the visiting delegation.
All trips are made public, and media interviews are also available for discussions and other activities.
"News Broadcast" reported that the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference Chairman Yu Zhengsheng met with the visiting delegation
However, unexpectedly, in the early morning of December 19, shortly after the League members Wang Bingzhong, Hou Hanting, Lin Mingzheng and others returned to Taiwan, they were taken away by the Taiwan "Investigation Bureau" on the grounds that it was suspected of violating the "National Security Law". They were released after 18 hours of fatigue interrogation, but were restricted from leaving the country by the Taiwanese authorities.
Just as this incident is about to last for half a year, Wang Bingzhong, Hou Hanting and Lin Ming were applying to participate in the 10th Straits Forum , but were rejected by the Taiwan authorities.
Wang Bingzhong’s data picture
Wang Bingzhong said: “We are very puzzled. How can we destroy 'national security' when we go to the mainland to participate in the annual Straits Forum, which mainly focuses on folk exchanges? Through the Straits Forum, young Taiwanese have found various opportunities to start businesses and study in recent years. How do these endanger this so-called 'national security'?"
And this is not the first time that the Taiwan authorities have "taken off on the topic" to obstruct cross-strait exchanges. Since May 20 last year, the Tsai Ing-wen administration has not only unilaterally undermined the political foundation for the peaceful development of cross-strait relations, changed the status quo of cross-strait relations, laissez- Taiwan independence" separatist activities on the island, but also adopted various methods to obstruct cross-strait exchanges and cooperation and incite cross-strait public opinion confrontation. In May this year, Taiwanese media disclosed that Chinese Kuomintang Chairman Wu Dunyi appointed Vice Chairman Zeng Yongquan to formally organize a group to attend the meeting and submitted a copy to the "Presidential Office", but was rejected by Tsai Ing-wen.
Straits TV Current Affairs Commentator Qiu Yi believes that after the DPP authorities have successively lost their "diplomatic diplomatic countries", there are two main methods: one is to restrict mainlanders from coming to Taiwan, and the other is to strictly investigate, review and control "unification" within Taiwan and those who have close contacts with the mainland. The Green Camp used "safety control" as an excuse to restrict New Party members from leaving the country, knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, killing the chicken to scare the monkey. This is just the first step. The DPP authorities will continue to increase their efforts to "green terror" in the future.
[Certificate of Love for Taiwan]
New Party Chairman Yu Muming attended the forum
Although the Taiwan authorities obstructed the attendees of the Straits Forum, the cross-strait civil exchanges were unstoppable, and the Taiwanese people invited to attend the forum were still happy and in a steady stream. According to media reports, the Taiwan delegations who went to participate in the Straits Forum in the past few days were "compressed with Xiamen Airport ". Many Taiwanese people said that "we may not be able to see so many people in Taiwan, but they are all acquaintances."
"They were blocked and failed to make a move, but I came on behalf of them." Yu Muming said at the opening ceremony of the fifth Cross-Strait Youth New Media Cultural and Creative Forum held on June 6. In his nearly 80s, he also echoed the theme of the forum's "New Media, New Youth, New Development" and called himself a "new and old man". He sent a message to the youth on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, "strengthen exchanges, actively participate in the construction of the new era with new thinking and new media, and jointly contribute his youthful strength to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation."
reporter learned that since its establishment in 1993, the New Party has been clearly adhering to the one-China principle, opposing "Taiwan independence", acknowledging the "1992 Consensus", and advocating the development of cross-strait relations. It is a firm force on the island to oppose "Taiwan independence" separatism.
Current Chairman Yu Muming has been re-elected after being elected with a 98.8% vote rate in 2003. At the age of 78, he is still ambitious and works hard for the peaceful reunification of the two sides of the Taiwan Straits, and calls himself "a worker of China's unification."
All previous Straits Forums, Yu Muming has not been absent. He said , Chinese people often say that all the worlds are brothers, both sides of the Taiwan Strait are one family, and both sides of the Taiwan Strait are one family. The two sides of the Taiwan Strait are born with the same roots. The Chinese also say that "the sea embraces all rivers and is tolerant is great." The Straits Forum is such a platform. Unlike the Kuomintang and the Communist Party forum or other financial forums, it is a private forum. It is a platform for expanding downward roots. With such an exchange platform, the villagers on both sides of the Taiwan Straits can fully understand it.
Yu Muming said that in the past decade, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council has repeatedly used the opportunity of the Straits Forum to announce measures to benefit Taiwan and benefit Taiwan. Whether it is the Communist Party, the Kuomintang, or the Democratic Progressive Party, who truly loves Taiwan can be compared, and it is not up to itself to decide. "The mainland has made too fast in the past twenty years, and the per capita income of many provinces has long exceeded that of Taiwan. Whoever can truly win the hearts of the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait depends on who truly loves Taiwan and truly takes care of the Chinese people. And the Straits Forum is a proof of love for Taiwan. "
Yu Muming said affectionately, "Please work together. No matter which party or faction, our goal is peace. Our goal is to rise China and the Chinese people stand up and the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. "
