BEIJING, May 27 (Xinhua) — Wang Huning, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), on Tuesday called for joint efforts to promote Chinese culture on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
Wang Huning, also a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, made the remarks during a meeting with Taiwanese guests who arrived in Beijing to attend the 2nd Cross-Strait Chinese Culture Summit.
Pointing out that Chinese culture is the root and soul of the Chinese people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, Wang Huning called for maintaining confidence in their own culture, jointly developing the spirit of Chinese culture, jointly shouldering historical responsibilities, and jointly striving for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
The CPPCC National Committee chairman noted that it is necessary to jointly promote exchanges in Chinese culture, promote cross-Strait exchanges and cooperation in various sectors, and deepen the spiritual closeness between compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
He called for the promotion of a great national spirit based on patriotism.
Recalling that this year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, as well as the 80th anniversary of Taiwan’s liberation from Japanese occupation, Wang Huning stressed the need to jointly uphold the one-China principle and the 1992 consensus, and resolutely oppose separatist attempts to gain “Taiwan independence.”
He also called for jointly upholding the position of Chinese culture and jointly countering external challenges.
Taiwanese guests, including former Kuomintang Party Chairman Hong Xiuzhu, said that as Chinese, they are full of confidence and pride in Chinese culture.
They expressed the hope that compatriots on both sides of the strait would adhere to the one-China principle, oppose “Taiwan independence,” strengthen cross-strait cultural exchanges, and jointly promote national reunification and the revival of the Chinese nation. –0–
