Council founded to promote peaceful reunification of China

The Nigeria Council for the Promotion of Peaceful Reunification of China (NCPPRC) was officially founded Sunday in Lagos, calling on the Chinese people across the world to unite as one to promote peaceful reunification of China.

At the opening ceremony of the founding of the NCPPRC, Jacob Chieh-Kuo Wood, secretary-general of the NCPPRC, read out the Lagos Declaration on the Promotion of Peaceful Reunification of China, mobilizing all the Chinese around the globe to make greater efforts to promote peaceful reunification of China. "The founding of the NCPPRC shows that all the Chinese in Nigeria, like those residing in the other parts of the world, long for earlier reunification of China and firmly object to any attempt to split China," he said.

In a written greeting speech, C. M. Cha, who was elected NCPPRC chairman, expressed his sincerely congratulation to the founding of the NCPPRC, saying "the establishment of the NCPPRC proves that all the Chinese in Nigeria are eager to see earlier reunification of China and faster socioeconomic development of the nation." The speech of Cha, who is known as the "Textile Magnate in West Africa", was read by K. P. Yu, a representative of Cha, who was chosen as a managing director of the NCPPRC.

Chinese people living abroad long for earlier reunification

"For a long time," said Cha, "we Chinese people living abroad have had a strong desire for earlier reunification of China and prayed for prosperity and bright prospects for China."

Liang Yinzhu, Chinese ambassador to Nigeria also addressed the opening ceremony, saying that the founding of the NCPPRC " undoubtedly shows a strong desire of the Chinese in foreign lands for earlier reunification of China and the invigorating of the Chinese nation."

"The people living on both sides of the Taiwan Straits are the Chinese. They have the same root, use the same language and are flesh-and-blood brothers and sisters," Liang said, adding that " the reunification of China is a natural tendency of history. No force on earth can stop it."

Liang strongly condemned a handful of people in the world attempting to split China and intervene in China's internal affairs as well as a few Chinese in Taiwan who refuse to admit they are Chinese and try to create "Two Chinas" or "One China, One Taiwan". "What they do are turning back the clock and will never succeed," Liang said.

More than 200 people attending the ceremony, including those from United Nigerian Textiles Plc, Lee's Group of Companies, Northern Enamelware Co., Ltd., Wahum Group of Companies, Tung's Group of Companies, the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation Nigeria Co., Ltd., Golden Gate Group Nigeria, and China Trade Center.

Peaceful reunification is the only way out of Taiwan issue

Since China pursued an economic-openness policy in the late 1970s, remarkable achievements have been made in socioeconomic construction and development, which have made more and more overseas Chinese realize that peaceful reunification of China is the only way out of Taiwan issue, especially after Hong Kong and Macao returned to the motherland in the late 1990s.

In the past two years, more than 100 councils for the promotion of peaceful reunification of China has been established in some 60 countries and regions all over the world, including the United States, Germany, Panama, Japan, Australia and South Africa.
