Description
At his recent meeting with the Chairperson of Taiwan’s Kuomintang CHENG Li-wun, XI Jinping enumerated four “opinions” about cross-strait relations, including reunification. The principle “one country, two systems”—which China relied on to resume its sovereignty over Hong Kong and Macao in 1997 and 1999, respectively—was not mentioned at all. This omission stands in contrast with how Xi has previously reiterated the importance of using this principle to resolve the “Taiwan issue”. A similar omission can be seen in China’s new 15th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development. Has China adopted a new approach to resolving the “Taiwan issue”?
在近期会见台湾主要反对党国民党主席郑丽文时，习近平就两岸关系（包括统一问题）提出了四点“意见”。会晤中却只字未提“一国两制”原则——中国曾分别于1997年和1999年以此原则为依据恢复对香港和澳门行使主权。这一遗漏与习近平此前反复强调运用这一原则解决“台湾问题”的重要性，形成了鲜明对比。在中国最新发布的《国民经济和社会发展第十五个五年规划纲要》中，也出现了类似的遗漏。中国是否已在解决“台湾问题”上采取了新的方式？
