Chinese officials held a "meeting to commemorate the 160th anniversary of the birth of Dr. Sun Yat-sen" in Beijing today. Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Communist Party of China, made a significant mention of Taiwan in his speech. He declared that the historical trend is unstoppable and that the "complete reunification of the motherland" must be achieved, and choked that "solving the Taiwan issue is an unshakable historical task of the Chinese Communist Party."

The "Conference to Commemorate the 160th Anniversary of the Birth of Dr. Sun Yat-sen" was held grandly in Beijing this morning. Xi Jinping attended and delivered an important speech. Members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee Li Qiang, Zhao Leji, Wang Huning, Cai Qi, Ding Xuexiang, and Li Xi attended the conference. The CCP also invited specific political parties and individuals in Taiwan to participate.

Xi Jinping said in his speech that Mr. Sun Yat-sen always insisted on safeguarding "national unity and ethnic unity" and resolutely opposed all remarks and actions that split the country and the nation.

Xi Jinping even said that Sun Yat-sen's strong desire and firm will for the "reunification of the motherland" have always inspired, educated, and inspired all Chinese people. In the long history of more than 5,000 years of Chinese civilization, the indivisibility of the land, the insecurity of the country, the inseparability of the nation, and the inability to break up the civilization have always been the common belief engraved in the bones of all the Chinese people.

Xi Jinping claimed that resolving the Taiwan issue and realizing the complete reunification of the motherland are the unswerving historical tasks of the Communist Party of China. In the future, it will adhere to the policy of peaceful reunification and one country, two systems. On the basis of adhering to the "one China principle" and the 1992 Consensus, it will conduct dialogue and consultation on cross-strait relations and national reunification, but will never leave any space for various forms of Taiwan independence and separatist activities.

Xi Jinping finally said that the future of Taiwan lies in national reunification, and the interests and well-being of Taiwan compatriots depend on the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and all Chinese people at home and abroad must join hands to jointly oppose Taiwan independence separatist forces and work together for the peaceful development of cross-Strait relations and the complete reunification of the motherland. The historical trend is unstoppable and the complete reunification of the motherland must be realized and can be achieved.

In response to the CCP's holding of a conference in Beijing to commemorate Sun Yat-sen's birthday, Qiu Chuizheng, chairman of the Mainland Affairs Council, criticized it in response to questions in the Legislative Yuan today. Xi Jinping delivered a speech today, and nearly 3,000 people attended. This is a united front activity of the CPPCC, mainly used to promote the "great cause of China's reunification", and Xi Jinping, the CPPCC and senior officials attended in person. We believe that "it is a united front activity."
