On this day, 35 years ago, June 11, 1990 (May 19, 1990, the lunar calendar), Jiang Zemin delivered an important speech on the Taiwan issue. Jiang Zemin was delivering a speech. On June 11, 1990, Jiang Zemin, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, delivered an important speech on the settlement of the Taiwan issue in his speech at the opening ceremony of the National United Front Work Conference. He reiterated: As long as the two sides sit down and truly negotiate the reunification of the motherland based on the principle of "one China" rather than pursuing "two China,""one China, one Taiwan" or "one country, two governments," all issues can be raised for discussion and discussion. Jiang Zemin said that recently, Mr. Lee Teng-hui talked about the issue of cross-strait relations, saying that "Taiwan and the mainland are inalienable territory of China,""all China are compatriots connected by blood," and "the reunification and prosperity of China are the common aspiration of all China." He also proposed to "establish communication channels between the two sides" and "discuss matters of national reunification." We appreciate this. However, some words are obviously inappropriate and lack sincerity, but they are better than "no contact, no negotiation, and no compromise." Jiang Zemin pointed out that as we all know, realizing the reunification of the motherland through peace talks has been the consistent proposition of our party for many years. As early as the 1950s, comrades Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai, leaders of our party, proposed that "peace is the most precious" and "one family loves the country", hoping that the Taiwan authorities "will send representatives to Beijing or other appropriate places when they think appropriate" to negotiate with us on a peaceful settlement of the Taiwan issue. In the early 1980s, Comrade Deng Xiaoping proposed the concept of realizing the reunification of the motherland through the "one country, two systems" approach. In a country, if different political, economic and social systems are implemented, I will not eat you, and you will not eat me, we will respect each other and prosper together. This is the best way to achieve the reunification of China that takes into account the interests of all parties and proceeds from reality. This concept was put forward to resolve the Taiwan issue, and was first successfully applied to resolve the Hong Kong and Macao issues. Jiang Zemin pointed out that according to international law, a country can only have one legal government representing the country. There cannot be two equal governments in one country representing the country. The so-called "one country, two governments" are essentially "two China" and "one China, one Taiwan." They are moving towards division, not towards reunification. Jiang Zemin said: We advocate equal discussions between the two parties, the Communist Party of China and the Kuomintang of China. This is based on the reality of the current status and role of the two parties, and is also to avoid issues that Taiwan feels inconvenient. At the same time, we have always attached importance to the role of other parties, groups and people from all walks of life on both sides of the Taiwan Strait in realizing the great cause of reunification of the motherland. Before negotiations between the two parties, discuss bills with various parties and groups and discuss national affairs; during negotiations, timely reports on the situation and exchange views; Even among the representatives participating in the talks, representative people from other parties and groups can be recruited. Jiang Zemin pointed out that before formal negotiations, cross-Strait "three links" should be realized as soon as possible and two-way exchanges should be expanded. Some specific issues in cross-strait exchanges can be resolved through consultation through appropriate channels. Jiang Zemin pointed out that over the past 40 years, New China's achievements in socialist construction have been universally recognized. There is no force in the world that can stop us from moving forward on the road of building socialism with China characteristics. He emphasized that realizing the reunification of the motherland is the sacred responsibility of China people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the common aspiration of all Chinese people who love the motherland around the world. If you work together, you will benefit both, if you leave, you will lose both. Let go of the past and move forward hand in hand. We hope that Mr. Lee Teng-hui will proceed from reality, put the interests of the country and the nation first, comply with public opinion, shoulder historical responsibilities, and contribute to the reunification of the motherland and national rejuvenation.
