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.
