Jiang Zemin's eight-point proposal accords with the interests and wish of people on both sides. The biggest obstacle to the proposal's implementation is the Taiwan authorities' mainland policy. The basic point of this policy is to create "two split sides with separate administrations"and "phony reunification, real independence for Taiwan." The Taiwan authorities base their advocating of "two split sides with sepa-rate administrations" on the fallacies that China's sovereignty has already been split apart, that the two sides of the Taiwan Strait are "two reciprocal political entities not subordinate to each other" and that each side has become "an independent international legal person" to be made "long lasting" and "legalized." In short, under the guise of professed opposition to "Taiwan independence" and "search for the future reunification" of China, the Taiwan authorities have been bent on creating "two Chinas" or "one China, one Taiwan." This is a policy of splitting the country. As long as this policy does not change, a healthy development of cross-strait relations is not possible. Such a policy will clash inevitably with the overall and long-term interests of Chinese compatriots on both sides. It will bring disastrous consequences to the society in Taiwan, Taiwan compatriots and the entire Chinese nation.
The Chinese people hope that the Taiwan authorities will really come back to the principle of one China, respond positively to Jiang Zemin's eight propositions, and do something that is conducive to the reunification of the country and revitalization of the Chinese nation.
The Chinese nation has a long history and splendid culture. It has also experienced many vicissitudes and hardships. Reunification of the country and revitalization of the nation has been a common wish of the Chinese people and a goal fought for by generations of the Chinese at the cost of blood and lives.
More than 150 years ago, foreign forces invaded China. For more than one century, China's territories were seized by piecemeal encroachment or wholesale annexation, its natural resources pillaged, its people enslaved, and the country fragmented.
Since 1949, with the establishment of New China, the Chinese people have stood up. However, Hong Kong and Macao have remained under colonial rule, and Taiwan has yet to be reunified
with the motherland. For more than 40 years, the Chinese people have worked tirelessly for their country's reunification. Foreign anti-China forces, however, do not want to see a reunified China. They have been interfering in China's internal affairs by supporting separatist elements and trying by every possible means to obstruct and sabotage China's peaceful reunification.
The Chinese people have not yet realized their long-cherished wish of reunifying their motherland and revitalizing their nation. They need to redouble their efforts in this regard. In 1997 and 1999, the Chinese government will resume its exercise of sovereignty over Hong Kong and Macao respectively. Resolving the Taiwan question and accomplishing China's reunification will become a top priority for the entire Chinese people including Taiwan compatriots.
At a time when the world will soon enter the 21st century, all the Chinese people should work tirelessly for their country's reunification and their nation's revitalization.
