About unity, the Taiwan Affairs Office has responded with deep meaning.
Regarding the question of "the mainland's policy towards Taiwan entering a new stage," Zhang Han, the new spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office, responded today (November 5) that the Taiwan issue concerns the core interests of the country and the national sentiment of the Chinese people. "We have the responsibility to guide compatriots on both sides of the strait to remember history, safeguard achievements, maintain peace, and create a shared future."
Recently, the mainland has launched a series of "combination punches" towards Taiwan, which has attracted widespread attention. Many believe that the mainland is entering a substantive stage in advancing the unification process, and some even say that it is now "getting closer to being a natural outcome." In this context, the Taiwan Affairs Office's statement is not just a simple response but clearly conveys the logic of the mainland proceeding with unification at its own pace.
"Remembering history" anchors the historical framework of one China, fundamentally refuting the so-called "status of Taiwan is undetermined theory"; "Safeguarding achievements" is about protecting the accumulated exchanges and cooperation between the two sides of the strait, preventing "Taiwan independence" from undermining the common interests of the compatriots; "Maintaining peace" highlights the mainland's sincerity in avoiding conflict, yet it is by no means a compromise with separatist actions; "Creating a shared future" points to the vision of common development after unification, gathering consensus among compatriots.
