Mainland calls for cross-Strait contributions to Chinese modernization
FUZHOU -- When meeting with former chairman of the Chinese Kuomintang party Ma Ying-jeou on Tuesday, a mainland official urged the two sides of the Taiwan Strait to take part in, work for and benefit from Chinese modernization.
Song Tao, head of both the Taiwan Work Office of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, met with Ma, who is leading a delegation of young people from Taiwan, in Ningde city, East China's Fujian province.
Song called on people on both sides of the Strait, all of whom are Chinese, to uphold the one-China principle and the 1992 Consensus, firmly oppose "Taiwan independence" separatism and external interference, and promote cross-Strait exchange and cooperation.
He also urged people to work together to maintain peace and stability in the Strait, advance the process of reunification, and pursue national rejuvenation.
