Former Kuomintang legislator Ding Shouzhong and former examination dean Guan Zhong hosted the "Cross-Strait Peace Initiative Conference to Commemorate the Birthday of the Father of the Nation" today (12th). At the meeting, they read out the "Cross-Strait Peace Initiative" co-signed by more than 200 experts and scholars from the blue camp, sparking discussion. Qiu Jinyi, former vice chairman and secretary-general of the Straits Exchange Foundation, said that the tense cross-strait relations are caused by the Democratic Progressive Party's "Taiwan Independence Party Platform", which also proposed a "ten-year process of reunification" and advocated a common market in 2030 and political consultation in 2036 to move towards reunification.

Qiu Jinyi pointed out that the People's Liberation Army has recently conducted frequent military exercises around Taiwan, and there are even reports of secret exercises and test-firing of Dongfeng-21 missiles in the Western Pacific. There is a high probability of "turning from exercises to war". The level of tension has exceeded the 96 Taiwan Strait missile crisis 30 years ago. He quoted US President Trump this year In his speech in May, he determined that the United States would not go to war for Taiwan, which is 9,500 miles away. He bluntly stated that the tense situation across the Taiwan Strait stems from the DPP's "Taiwan Independence Party Platform", demanded the abolition of the Taiwan Independence Party Platform, advocated that the government should return to the one-China constitutional system, and called on the Beijing authorities to formally abandon military reunification.

Qiu Jinyi said that the "status quo" in international politics is fluid and cannot be maintained forever, and the Chinese Communist Party will also believe that Taiwan is pursuing "peaceful independence." Therefore, he advocated that the "Cross-Strait Peace Initiative" should be renamed the "Cross-Strait Peaceful Integration Initiative," and even laid out a ten-year process timetable with the goal of advancing the two sides of the Strait to political consultations in 2036 to resolve fundamental issues.

He said that the two opposition parties in the Legislative Yuan should propose an "authorization referendum" in the Senate next fall (2027) to authorize the government to negotiate the establishment of a cross-Strait common market; the referendum will be held in conjunction with the "referendum tied to the general election" at the beginning of 2028 for the re-election of the president and vice president, replacing the current SEF and ARATS with "reciprocal permanent representative offices", and based on ECFA, establish a common market by 2030, unify the currency in 2032, and complete in-depth economic integration.

Finally, Qiu Jinyi hopes that the two sides will launch "final political negotiations" in 2036 to discuss federalism, confederation, one country, two systems, one country, one system, or other feasible political arrangements. However, he emphasized that all this is only feasible if the Kuomintang is in power. If the DPP continues to be in power, it will be impossible.

Former Director of the Examination Yuan Guan Zhong attended the preparatory meeting to promote the Cross-Strait Peace Initiative "Commemorating the Birthday of the Father of the Nation and the Cross-Strait Peace Initiative Conference" and delivered a speech at the meeting.
