The 2022 Taiwan Work Conference was held in Beijing on the 25th. Wang Yang, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and chairman of the CPPCC National Committee, attended the meeting and delivered a speech. He stressed that the work on Taiwan affects the overall cause of the party and the state and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. *** Firmly grasp the leading power and initiative in cross-strait relations and take practical actions to welcome the victory of the 20th CPC National Congress. Wang Yang pointed out that the situation in the Taiwan Strait in 2021 is severe and complex, with prominent risks and challenges. All localities and departments have earnestly implemented the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee, overcome difficulties, forge ahead, effectively shape the general trend of reunification, resolutely carry out the struggle related to Taiwan, and continue to promote the development of cross-strait integration. They have made arduous efforts and achieved positive results, and their achievements are worthy of recognition. Wang Yang stressed that at present, the world's century changing situation and the century epidemic situation are intertwined and superimposed, and the direction of the Taiwan Strait is uncertain and unstable. We should not only enhance our historical self-confidence and see that the timing and trend of the complete reunification of the motherland are always on our side, but also establish a firm bottom line thinking and be prepared to deal with various risks and challenges. We should carry forward the spirit of struggle, resolutely curb the provocation of "Taiwan independence" and the interference of external forces, and build a strong front against "independence" and promote reunification. We should uphold the concept of "one family on both sides of the Strait", improve the policy of sharing development opportunities and implementing equal treatment with Taiwan enterprises and Taiwan compatriots, and provide more convenient conditions for Taiwan grass-roots people and youth groups to participate in cross-strait exchanges and cooperation. We should support Fujian in exploring a new path of cross-strait integration and development and building a demonstration area for cross-strait integration and development. We should do a good job in public opinion publicity, tell the Taiwan compatriots the core meaning of my policy towards the National Taiwan University, and guide the majority of Taiwan compatriots to stick to the great national interests and distinguish between right and wrong. All regions and departments should firmly establish the idea of national chess, improve the work pattern of Taiwan under the unified leadership of the Party committee, the joint management of the party and government, the division of labor and cooperation of departments and the wide participation of society, and ensure the implementation of the decisions and arrangements of the party Central Committee. The Taiwan Affairs Department should strengthen its own construction, consolidate and expand the achievements in the study and education of party history, carry forward the great party building spirit, constantly improve its political judgment, political understanding and political execution, build a team of high-quality cadres, and forge ahead into a new journey and a new era with a strong historical initiative.
