A CHINESE mainland official yesterday expressed the determination to solve the Taiwan issue and to realize national reunification.
Wang Yi, head of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, or China's Cabinet, said realizing the reunification of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait is a major historic mission of the Communist Party of China. The CPC has made unremitting efforts and positive and important progress over the past six decades and more, Wang said.
"We have the firm determination, full confidence and patience needed in solving the Taiwan issue," he said. "Our determination rests with the complete unification of the nation."
He said that the core of solving the Taiwan issue is to realize national reunification. This, Wang said, has a great bearing on national sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as the prospects and destiny of China.
"We are duty-bound to shoulder and fulfil this historic responsibility, and should be sturdy to oppose and resist acts of 'Taiwan independence' in all their forms," Wang said. "We will unswervingly overcome any difficulties and challenges."
"Our confidence derives from the rising strength of the mainland and development of cross-Strait relations," he said.
The mainland's principles and policies towards Taiwan, which have been tested through practice, have become more and more in accord with the facts on the island and demands of its people.
Principles and policies
"These principles and policies have gained more understanding and recognition from Taiwan society, and all these will promote the two sides to march forward from exchanges to harmony, and from harmony to reunification," said Wang, who is also the director of the Taiwan Work Office of the Communist Party of China Central Committee.
"Our patience is based on the objective analysis of Taiwan-related issues," said Wang.
He added that Taiwan-related issues are complicated as they involve politics, economy, law, international relations and national sentiments.
The mainland is clear-minded that the divergence and misunderstanding between the two sides has been tough due to years of isolation, said Wang, adding patience is needed to solve issues with persistence and sincerity.
The mainland and Taiwan restored regular talks in June 2008, when Chen Yunlin, president of the mainland-based Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits met with Chiang Pin-kung, then chairman of the Taiwan-based Straits Exchange Foundation, for the first time after a lull of nine years. Chen and Jiang held eight rounds of talks and witnessed the signing of 18 pacts, including the landmark Cross-Strait Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement signed in 2010.
"These pacts have settled a large number of practical problems emerging in the exchanges of the two sides and have promoted the institutionalization and standardization of cross-Strait exchanges," said Wang.
