In a recent statement, Chen Binhua, spokesperson for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, emphasized the importance of resolving the Taiwan question and achieving national reunification for the betterment of Taiwan’s development and the well-being of its people. Speaking at a regular press briefing in Beijing, Chen highlighted that both sides of the Taiwan Strait are Chinese and are fully capable of jointly discussing and deciding on internal affairs to ensure the destiny of the Chinese nation remains in the hands of its people. Chen firmly stated that ‘Taiwan independence’ is not a viable path and that confrontation offers no solution. He underscored that advancing cross-Strait relations toward complete reunification is essential for ensuring lasting peace and shared prosperity. The 1992 Consensus, which upholds the one-China principle, was reiterated as the political foundation for cross-Strait relations and a cornerstone for regional peace and stability. Chen noted that this consensus has facilitated talks, agreements, and broad consensus between the two sides, promoting economic and social well-being while maintaining stability. The mainland expressed its willingness to collaborate with all political parties, groups, and individuals in Taiwan who support the one-China principle and oppose ‘Taiwan independence’ to engage in extensive consultations on cross-Strait relations and Taiwan’s future. Chen called on political parties and people from all walks of life in Taiwan to recognize the historical trend, uphold the overall interest of the Chinese nation, and work together with the mainland to safeguard peace and stability in the Strait, paving the way for national rejuvenation and reunification.
