On The Rule Of Law To Promote The Role Of The Motherland's Peaceful Reunification Process

Resolving the Taiwan Question and realizing the reunification of the PRC is the common interest of the Chinese people. Sovereign integrity is the legal basis of the reunification of the country. Historically, the mainland of China and Taiwan are part of the PRC, and this remains to be the fact, though both are separated for some reasons and yet to be reunified. Taiwan is an integral part of China and a historical review should be conducted to trace the Taiwan Question. Resolving the Taiwan Question on the basis of one China principle requires the common effort of the Chinese people and all kinds of approaches, means and mechanisms need to be constructed. Advancing the reunification across the straits through laws will be conductive to build the framework of peace and development across the straits. Conflicts and common understanding in laws and regulations should be clarified. We should persist in the principle of "one country, two systems".Since the return of Hong Kong and Macao to the motherland, more and more experience has been gained in putting into practice the principle of "one country, two systems." The principle is perfectly correct and full of vigor. To realize China's peaceful reunification on this principle accords with the fundamental interests of the Chinese nation. We should study its origin, creation, legal basis and analyze the practice through rule of law in the implementation of this principle. We should explore the legal process of the reunification of the PRC, construct the legal platform for interaction across the straits and maintain the legal forces for the containment of "separatists". The compatriots on both sides need to work together to oppose and contain such activities. China's sovereignty and territorial integrity brook no division. Our position of never undertaking to renounce the use of force is not directed at our Taiwan compatriots. It is aimed at the foreign forces' attempts to interfere in China's reunification and the Taiwan separatist forces' schemes for "Taiwan independence". To safeguard national unity bears on the fundamental interests of the Chinese nation. We Chinese people will safeguard our state sovereignty and territorial integrity with firm resolve. We will never allow anyone to separate Taiwan from China in any way.
