Reunification an 鈥榠rresistable trend鈥
Print Edition
Taiwan鈥檚 participation in activities of international organizations must be based on the one-China principle, a Chinese mainland spokesperson said yesterday, adding that achieving the country鈥檚 greatness, national rejuvenation and Cross-Strait reunification is the trend of history, which can never be blocked.
Ma Xiaoguang, a spokesperson with the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, made the remarks in response to the Democratic Progressive Party authority鈥檚 claim that it failed to attend the International Civil Aviation Organization Assembly held in Canada due to 鈥減ressure鈥 from the mainland and that Taiwan鈥檚 aviation safety could be affected.
鈥淥ur position is consistent and clear that the issue about Taiwan鈥檚 participation in activities of international organizations including the ICAO must be handled in accordance with the one-China principle,鈥 said Ma at a press conference.
Ma stressed that the mainland has always paid attention to the demands of Taiwan compatriots in the civil aviation field, adding that Taiwan has open channels for access to standards, suggestions and relative materials from the ICAO and has flights to many cities in the world.
鈥淔acts have proven that Taiwan鈥檚 aviation safety and its flights to and from other regions have no connection with whether the DPP authority participates in the ICAO assembly,鈥 Ma said.
鈥淭he past 70 years of relations across the Taiwan Strait have witnessed compatriots on both sides of the Strait breaking down their isolation and engaging in increasingly extensive exchanges and cooperation,鈥 said Ma.
By the end of 2018, 135 million Cross-Strait visits were logged, including over 100 million made by people from Taiwan; two-way trade reached US$226 billion last year.
Over 70 years, the two sides across the Strait have conducted equal consultation, sought common ground while shelving differences, and improved and developed Cross-Strait relations on the basis of the 1992 Consensus, Ma said.
鈥淭he past 70 years are also a history of opposing and deterring separatist elements advocating 鈥楾aiwan independence,鈥 resolutely safeguarding China鈥檚 sovereignty and territorial integrity, promoting the peaceful development of Cross-Strait relations and advancing the peaceful reunification of the motherland.鈥
