Taiwan Needs to Strengthen its Pro-Reunification Forces

SEND TO FRIEND

The Taiwan-based Alliance for the Reunification of China (ARC) said it will try to fortify all "friendly forces within Taiwan" to increase and strengthen the existing mainstream of peaceful reunification with the motherland.

Wang Chin Ping, president of the ARC, made the remarks Thursday during a symposium entitled "One Country, Two Systems and the Unification of China Symposium" organized by a major Hong Kong political group, the Democratic Alliance for Betterment of Hong Kong.

"If we draw together as far as possible all friendly forces within Taiwan to increase and strengthen the mainstream of peaceful unification, the unification camp there, which works against forces advocating the independence of Taiwan and advocates peace and unification, will thrust itself forward," Wang said.

Wang called this the "good groundwork" that is required to achieve the great cause.

"First, work must be done well in youth groups. The earlier they get to understand the true meaning of the principle of 'one country, two systems,' the sooner the force of peaceful reunification within Taiwan will be consolidated and bolstered," he said.

On the principle of "one country, two systems" itself, Wang said five years of successful implementation in Hong Kong will give rise to an uplifting force, on a global scale, for the "anti-separatist-and-pro-reunification" campaign on the Taiwan question.

"The experience of Hong Kong and Macao is what Taiwan should be referred to truly learn to understand the success of the principle," he added.
