Understand the historical latitude and longitude
At the event, the guests attending the event received the white paper "The Taiwan Issue and the Cause of China's Reunification in the New Era". The white paper systematically discusses the ins and outs of the Taiwan issue and effectively refutes the lies of the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces. It pointed out that the historical latitude and longitude of Taiwan's belonging to China since ancient times and the legal facts are clear. UN General Assembly Resolution 2758 is a political document embodying the one-China principle. International practice has fully confirmed its legal validity and cannot be misinterpreted. The one-China principle is the general consensus of the international community and is the due meaning of abiding by the basic norms of international relations.
Director of the Institute of Modern History of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Jin Minqing believes that the concept of " unified " is one of the main threads that runs through the political structure and ideological culture of China's past dynasties, and it is also an important link to maintain the consciousness of the Chinese nation's community. The divisions of countries that have occurred in history were all because the supreme authority deviated from justice and the people's support, and ultimately lost its legitimacy and ability to govern. Today, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, China's comprehensive national strength has increased unprecedentedly. The reunification of the motherland is an inevitable choice that conforms to the national interests and is an unstoppable historical trend. Seeking "independence" for separatism loses morality and loses the support of the people, and will definitely result in a bloody blow.
Li Lixin, director of the Institute of Literature of the Henan Academy of Social Sciences, said that cultural means are an important means to peacefully solve the Taiwan issue, and culture is the most basic, profound and friendly force. Henan and Taiwan have profound cultural origins. They are geographically connected, closely related by people, culturally and by blood, and the Taiwanese Hakkas still call themselves "Heluolang". Henan should make full use of its unique resources and advantages to promote Taiwanese compatriots to understand the Yellow River culture, Central Plains culture, and Heluo culture, promote national identity and national identity with cultural identity, and contribute to the peaceful reunification of the motherland.

Condensing the "1992 Consensus"
30 years ago, the Chinese people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait chose to replace confrontation with dialogue, resolve differences with communication, and promote cooperation with consultation, and reached an agreement that each orally expressed "both sides of the Taiwan Strait adhere to the one-China principle." The core essence of the "1992 Consensus" is that "both sides of the Taiwan Strait belong to one China and work together to pursue national reunification." Guests attending the meeting said that the "1992 Consensus" clarified the fundamental nature of cross-Strait relations and laid the political foundation for the development of cross-Strait relations.
Zhao Jianmin, dean of the School of Social Sciences at the Chinese Culture University in Taiwan, said that both sides of the Taiwan Strait must find ways to resolve problems based on the foundation established in the past. This foundation is the "1992 Consensus." In the six years since the DPP came to power, it has blindly attacked and smeared the "1992 Consensus" but failed to find new methods or alternatives. Both sides of the Taiwan Straits should make it clear that on the basis of the one-China principle and opposing "Taiwan independence" forces, the two sides should return to the path of peaceful exchanges and mutual benefit, and adhere to our hard-won political foundation.
Director of the Taiwan Political Research Center at Nankai University Huang Qingxian believes that the "1992 Consensus" is the most important keyword in cross-strait relations. "How to solve the current Taiwan Strait issue will test the wisdom and foresight of the Chinese people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. Foreigners regard Taiwan as a frontline and a chess piece, and the '1992 Consensus' is a clever plan after opening the bag." He said that the "1992 Consensus" fully demonstrates We have learned the wisdom of both sides of the Taiwan Strait, built a cross-Strait consultation mechanism, and enhanced the well-being of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. Peaceful reunification is always the first choice.
"Maintaining stable cross-strait relations is in the best interest of the people on both sides." Lin Zujia, special adviser to the Chinese Kuomintang and director of the Department of Mainland Affairs, said that the Chinese Kuomintang will continue to promote cross-strait relations on the basis of adhering to the "1992 Consensus" and opposing "Taiwan independence." Strengthen exchanges and cooperation to maintain peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait.
A Dream
Together to realize national rejuvenation
html August 17th coincides with the 40th anniversary of the publication of the "August 17 Communique" between China and the United States. Over the past few decades, the United States has not only failed to keep its political commitments to the Chinese government on the Taiwan issue, but has reversed the course of history. Some forces in the United States undermine China's peaceful reunification process and peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait, sacrificing the interests, well-being and even lives of Taiwan compatriots, disrupting the progress of the Chinese nation.Qiu Chaobing, a researcher at the Institute of American Studies, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that the intensified comprehensive competition between China and the United States has given Tsai Ing-wen the false impression that it provides a living space for "Taiwan independence." A review of the history of cross-Strait relations can prove that this idea is completely wrong. Taiwan compatriots must unify Taiwan's development and prosperity with the development and prosperity of the mainland. The reunification of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait is a blessing for the Chinese nation and a blessing for Taiwan compatriots. The concept of ", one country, two systems, " is extremely inclusive, and the space for flexible operation depends on the recognition of the Taiwan authorities. The more they agree with it, the greater the space.
"If we engage in 'Taiwan independence' separatism, small fortunes will turn into unfortunate fortunes." Li Mi, deputy director of the Shanghai Public Relations Research Institute, said that the cause of reunification must be understood from the overall situation. In today's world, multi-polarization is accelerating, and the international political landscape Becoming more balanced; taking a big approach Understand the cause of reunification based on the situation and firmly grasp the new historical direction of China's great cause of reunification; we must understand the cause of reunification from the perspective of righteousness, and striving for peaceful reunification is our first choice. Peaceful reunification will release many opportunities. This is not only the grand cause of the country, but also closely related to the cause of reunification. Everyone is closely related.
The general trend of history is moving forward. The reunification of the motherland and the rejuvenation of the nation have entered an irreversible historical process. During the exchange, the guests at the meeting reached a consensus that unification is beneficial, "Taiwan independence" is a dead end, and outsiders cannot be trusted.
