The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council responds to Mainland China's policy towards Taiwan entering a new stage.

The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a routine press conference on the morning of the 5th, with the new spokesperson Zhang Han appearing and answering questions from journalists. A reporter asked, "Taiwanese public opinion has generally noticed that the mainland has recently introduced a series of measures, including the establishment of Taiwan Retrocession Day, the implementation of new policies to facilitate entry for Taiwanese compatriots, holding an international academic symposium on the 80th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations, increasing the frequency of press conferences held by the Taiwan Affairs Office, Xinhua News Agency broadcasting three articles with pen names 'Zhong Tai Wen', and the public security organs filing a case to investigate the 'Taiwan independence' stubborn figure Shen Boyang. Some local public opinion believes that this is the mainland's use of a 'combination punch,' symbolizing a new stage in mainland policy towards Taiwan. Do you have any comments on this?" Zhang Han said, "This year marks the 80th anniversary of the retrocession of Taiwan. By setting up Taiwan Retrocession Day in the name of the country and holding commemorative activities at the national level, we fully embody the will of the people and the country, defend the important historical facts and national prestige of Taiwan's retrocession and return to the motherland, and will lead compatriots on both sides of the strait to inherit and carry forward the patriotic tradition and the spirit of the great resistance war and the great national spirit, inspiring all Chinese sons and daughters to unite and strive for the unification of the motherland and the rejuvenation of the nation." Zhang Han said, "The Taiwan issue concerns the core interests of the country and the national sentiments of the Chinese people. We have a responsibility to guide compatriots on both sides of the strait to remember history, defend achievements, maintain peace, and create a future together; we have a responsibility to seek benefits and ensure the well-being of compatriots on both sides of the strait; we have a responsibility to let the majority of Taiwanese compatriots understand the historical and legal facts that both sides belong to the same China, understand the essence of the 'Taiwan independence' splittist forces causing harm to Taiwan and the country, and understand the inevitable trend of reunification of the motherland." Zhang Han said, "We will thoroughly study, understand, and implement the spirit of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, comprehensively implement General Secretary Xi Jinping's important expositions on Taiwan work and the overall strategy of the Party in solving the Taiwan issue in the new era, adhere to the principle of one China and the '92 Consensus', resolutely oppose the separatist actions of 'Taiwan independence' and interference by external forces, respect, care for, and benefit Taiwanese compatriots, continuously deepen cross-strait exchanges and cooperation, integration and development, share opportunities and achievements of China's modernization development, and together with the broad Taiwanese compatriots, promote the peaceful development of cross-strait relations, and work together for the great cause of the reunification of the motherland and rejuvenation of the nation."
