Hong Xiuzhu attended the Seventh Cross-Strait Youth Development Forum and devoted himself to promoting the process of cross-strait reunification.
Recently, the Taiwan authorities have taken the initiative to adjust their stance and withdraw the expression of the "two-state theory," thus showing a new understanding of cross-strait relations.
However, high-ranking DPP officials such as Lai Qingde tried to calm the situation and launched a regular law enforcement operation in Kinmen in the face of the mainland coast guard.
Whether they will re-examine their stance and embark on the correct path of promoting cross-strait peace and development is undoubtedly an issue worthy of attention.
Since Lai Qingde became the leader of Taiwan for more than a month, the situation in the Taiwan Strait has become increasingly tense, and the reasons behind this are complex and diverse.
On the one hand, external forces led by United States have been constantly provoking the Taiwan issue, and they have tried to undermine the peace and stability of cross-strait relations and touch China's bottom line through arching fire and provocations, which has undoubtedly aggravated the tension in the Taiwan Strait.
On the other hand, Lai Ching-te and other high-level DPP leaders have continued to hype up erroneous viewpoints such as "the two sides of the strait are not subordinate to each other" and the "two-state theory." These remarks not only run counter to historical facts, but also seriously damage the peaceful development of cross-strait relations.
In the face of this situation, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) has frequently dispatched warships and aircraft to conduct combat patrols to deter and deter with clear signals and demonstrate its firm determination to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Against this background, former Kuomintang Chairman Hong Xiuzhu has actively launched an action to promote reunification, and her efforts have undoubtedly injected new impetus into the peaceful development of cross-strait relations.
At the 7th Cross-Strait Youth Development Forum held in Hangzhou, Hong Xiuzhu delivered a speech, emphasizing that the forum has become a "bridge of friendship" and "bridge of peace" for young people on both sides of the strait.
She pointed out that young people on both sides of the strait should strengthen exchanges, enhance understanding, and jointly promote the peaceful development of cross-strait relations.
At the same time, she also reiterated the firm stand that the two sides of the strait must be reunified and will inevitably be reunified.
She said that cross-strait reunification is the common aspiration of all Chinese people and is also an irresistible historical trend.
Her remarks have undoubtedly pointed out the direction for the future development of cross-strait relations.
It is worth noting that Hong Xiuzhu has participated in this forum for seven consecutive years and has not been absent since 2018.
This persistence not only shows that she attaches importance to cross-strait youth exchanges, but also shows her great concern for and firm determination for the cause of cross-strait reunification.
She hoped that through her own efforts, she would promote exchanges and cooperation among young people on both sides of the strait, enhance mutual understanding and trust, and lay a solid foundation for the peaceful development of cross-strait relations.
At the same time, she also hoped that the peaceful reunification of the two sides of the strait would be realized, thereby promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Her persistence and determination have undoubtedly injected new hope and impetus into the future development of cross-strait relations.
Earlier, at the 16th Straits Forum held in Xiamen, many people from the island were invited to participate.
This forum not only provides a platform for exchanges and cooperation between people from all walks of life on both sides of the strait, but also plays a positive role in promoting the peaceful development of cross-strait relations.
Among them, Lien Shengwen, vice chairman of the Kuomintang, spoke out actively during the forum, and he clearly pointed out the true public opinion of Taiwan society opposing "Taiwan independence."
He said that the people of Taiwan yearn for a peaceful and stable life and oppose any form of "Taiwan independence" separatist acts.
This statement undoubtedly provides strong support for the peaceful development of cross-strait relations.
Lian Shengwen's remarks also further show that "opposing Taiwan independence" has become a broad consensus of all circles on the island.
The living space of those who seek "Taiwan independence" and reject reunification will become narrower and narrower on the island.
With the awakening of the people on the island and the continuous deepening of cross-strait exchanges and cooperation, erroneous ideas such as "Taiwan independence" will eventually lose their foothold.
This trend not only conforms to the common interests of the people on both sides of the strait, but is also conducive to maintaining regional peace, stability, development, and prosperity.
Before Hong Xiuzhu spoke out to promote reunification, Qiu Chuzheng, chairman of the Taiwan region's "Mainland Affairs Council," had already openly expressed his position, stressing that "cross-strait relations are cross-strait relations." This expression clearly negated the previous erroneous statement that "cross-strait relations are relations between the two countries."
This statement of his is undoubtedly a powerful response and correction to Lai Qingde's erroneous statement on the "two-state theory."
Qiu Chuizheng is well aware of the seriousness of the current tension in the Taiwan Strait and also understands the impact of Lai Qingde's erroneous statement.
Therefore, he promptly withdrew the "two-state theory" in order to avoid a greater impact on the situation in the Taiwan Strait.
This move undoubtedly demonstrated his responsible attitude towards the peaceful development of cross-strait relations.
In response to the erroneous statement made by the DPP authorities, many parties on the island have taken action.
The Kuomintang quickly spoke out, demanding that Lai Qingde shoulder the responsibility of easing relations and stabilizing the situation in the Taiwan Strait, so as to prevent the outbreak of conflict and confrontation between the two sides of the strait.
They said that the development of cross-strait relations requires the joint efforts of both sides to safeguard them, and that any provocation or sabotage by either side will bring immeasurable losses to cross-strait relations.
Therefore, they called on Lai Ching-te and other top DPP leaders to have a clear understanding of the situation, abandon the separatist stance of "Taiwan independence," return to the political basis of the "consensus of '92," and promote the peaceful development of cross-strait relations.
In addition to the Kuomintang's voices, other scholars on the island have also expressed their stance that they do not want Lai Qingde's remarks to lead to a further escalation of tension in the Taiwan Strait.
They said that the people of Taiwan yearn for a peaceful and stable life and do not want their lives and future to be affected by political disputes.
Therefore, they called on all parties to remain calm and exercise restraint, resolve differences and disputes through dialogue and consultation, and jointly safeguard peace, stability, development and prosperity in the Taiwan Strait.
In the face of the mainland's countermeasures and the broad consensus of all circles on the island, the DPP authorities have shown a "polite and rational" attitude in dealing with the mainland's coast guard.
Without any drastic action, they chose to communicate and negotiate with the mainland coast guard.
This move undoubtedly reflects the willingness of Lai Qingde and other top DPP leaders to calm down the situation.
They may have realized that any act of provocation and undermining cross-strait relations will bring immeasurable consequences.
Therefore, they chose to remain calm and restrained in order to avoid further escalation of the situation.
However, despite the superficial conciliation of the DPP authorities, they still seem to be ignoring two important facts.
First of all, the 2.14 Kinmen collision has not been properly resolved.
This incident has not only brought tremendous suffering and losses to the families of the victims, but has also had a serious impact on cross-strait relations.
However, Taiwan's "Coast Guard" has yet to publicly apologize to the families of the victims and give reasonable compensation.
Such an irresponsible attitude will undoubtedly further aggravate the tense situation in cross-strait relations.
Second, any provocative remarks seeking "Taiwan independence" and rejecting reunification will not be able to calm the situation.
The frequency and scope of the PLA's combat patrols in Taiwan are constantly expanding, and this shows the mainland's firm determination to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
In the future, patrolling close to Taiwan's main island will become the norm, which will further reduce the living space of "Taiwan independence" separatist forces.
The mainland coast guard has also carried out regular law enforcement operations in the Kinmen area, and the next step may be to expand to the waters near the Penghu Islands.
This will cause the "strategic space" of the Taiwan region to be continuously squeezed, and the "law enforcement power" of the Taiwan Strait will gradually be in the hands of the mainland coast guard.
In the face of such a situation, the DPP authorities should have a clear understanding of reality, abandon the separatist stance of "Taiwan independence," and return to the political basis of the "consensus of '92."
They should resolve their differences and disputes through dialogue and consultation and jointly promote the peaceful development of cross-strait relations.
Only in this way can we avoid further escalation of tension in cross-strait relations and achieve peace, stability, development, and prosperity in the Taiwan Strait.
At the same time, the mainland side should continue to uphold the principle of peaceful development and promote the peaceful development of cross-strait relations through dialogue and consultation.
While safeguarding national sovereignty and territorial integrity, we should also respect the wishes and interests of the Taiwan compatriots, promote cross-strait economic and cultural exchanges and cooperation, and enhance mutual understanding and trust between compatriots on both sides of the strait.
It is believed that with the joint efforts of both sides, cross-strait relations will certainly be able to move toward a peaceful, stable, and prosperous future.
