CCTV Quick Review: Adhering to National Righteousness and Sharing the Great Glory of National Revival in the Strait | Forum | CCTV
"I hope that compatriots on both sides of the strait will jointly grasp the general trend of history, adhere to the great national righteousness, contribute to promoting the peaceful development of cross-strait relations and the great cause of the reunification of the motherland, jointly create the long-term well-being of the Chinese nation, and share the great glory of national rejuvenation!" On June 17, General Secretary Xi Jinping sent a congratulatory letter to the 15th Straits Forum.
General Secretary's heartfelt words, full of deep concern for our compatriots in Taiwan and high importance placed on the integration and development of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, have pointed out the direction for us to do a good job in our work towards Taiwan in the new era. We will further unite all Chinese people, including our compatriots in Taiwan, and work together to promote the peaceful development of cross-strait relations, the great cause of national reunification, and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
At present, there are some new trends in civil exchanges and cooperation between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. However, external forces are playing the "Taiwan card", and the Democratic Progressive Party authorities are deliberately undermining the peaceful development of cross-strait relations, setting various restrictions and obstacles to cross-strait exchanges and cooperation. This kind of behavior goes against the current and is unpopular. The restoration of cross-strait exchanges and normal personnel exchanges is the common aspiration of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. Peace, development, exchange, and cooperation are the common aspirations of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. This year's Taiwan Strait Forum has invited over 5000 guests from Taiwan, and many new and old friends from both sides of the Taiwan Strait have gathered offline, exchanged local feelings, and discussed cooperation, fully reflecting the strong willingness of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait to exchange and cooperate and seek common development. This is unstoppable by anyone or any force. We will continue to respect, care for, and benefit our compatriots in Taiwan, using the Taiwan Strait Forum as a platform to continuously promote economic and cultural exchanges and cooperation between the two sides, and deepen the integration and development of various fields across the Taiwan Strait.
Only with a good country and a good nation can compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait be better. The new journey of Chinese path to modernization has a bright future and will certainly unleash tremendous vitality and space for development. We must actively promote cross-strait cooperation, add momentum to development, and strengthen the economic strength and innovation of the Chinese nation. We will continue to take the lead in sharing high-quality development opportunities with our Taiwanese compatriots, providing equal treatment to Taiwanese compatriots and enterprises, and creating more sense of gain. Taiwan compatriots, especially the younger generation, can fully exert their advantages and talents on the broad stage of Chinese path to modernization.
Understanding each other is valuable in understanding one's heart. Compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait share the same roots, culture, and culture. The long-standing and splendid Chinese culture is the root and belonging of the hearts of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. We must jointly promote Chinese culture, exchange and learn from each other, engage in dialogue and tolerance, empathize with ourselves and others, deepen mutual understanding, enhance mutual trust and identity, and remember the pain of national division and bullying. We must uphold the sentiment and empathy of our compatriots, cultivate future generations with correct historical, ethnic, and national perspectives, promote the great national spirit, and achieve spiritual harmony between compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
History cannot be chosen, we can grasp it now and create it in the future.
