CCP's 10 Taiwan-related Measures: Cheng Li-wen Instructs Vice Chairman to Form Working Group

Cheng Li-wen and her delegation returned to Taiwan on Air China flight CA-189 in the afternoon, arriving at Taoyuan International Airport at 4:56 PM. Kuomintang (KMT) legislative caucus convener Fu Kun-chi and 19 other legislators, along with Hualien County Magistrate Hsu Chen-wei, were at the airport to greet her.

Cheng Li-wen told the media that she was very happy to see so many brothers and sisters, as well as friends who traveled from Taichung, Hualien, and Pingtung. As she said during the "Cheng-Xi meeting," things must be done one by one, and roads must be walked step by step. "This time, we have taken the successful first step, and there are ninety-nine more steps to go." Once one thing is done seriously, there are many more things to do well.

Cheng Li-wen said that this morning, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China officially announced 10 beneficial policies for Taiwan. She immediately instructed the vice chairman to form a working group as soon as possible to complete the subsequent implementation work and to connect with the other side. These 10 policies include concrete measures that will directly benefit Taiwanese youth, agriculture and fisheries, distant-water fisheries, tourism, and micro-enterprises.

Cheng Li-wen hopes that the Kuomintang can provide many concrete channels for everyone to directly feel and receive the peace dividends of peaceful cross-strait development. "This is our greatest wish, which is to improve people's lives and allow everyone to bravely pursue and realize their dreams." The next step is to roll up sleeves, work hard, and thank all sectors for their support and encouragement. The Kuomintang will redouble its efforts to bring a beautiful vision of peace to everyone.

Fu Kun-chi led the welcoming legislators in shouting "Chairman, go! Peace, go! Taiwan, go!" Cheng Li-wen then entered through the Taoyuan Airport VIP Terminal.

At 4 PM, the Taiwan Statebuilding Party also held a press conference at Taoyuan Airport Terminal 2, titled "Taiwanese Have the Freedom Not to Be Chinese." Taiwan Statebuilding Party Chairman Wang Hsing-huan pointed out that Cheng Li-wen's visit to China echoed the united front narratives of "century of national humiliation" and "great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation," locking the Taiwan Strait into China's internal affairs framework. However, Taiwan's future should be decided by the Taiwanese people, and the basis for cross-strait peace lies in sovereign equality, not in recognizing bloodline myths. He firmly advocated that "Taiwanese have the freedom not to be Chinese."

Cheng Li-wen visited China from April 7th to 12th and held talks with CCP General Secretary Xi Jinping. The Taiwan Affairs Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China today authorized the release of 10 policy measures, including the normalization of direct cross-strait air passenger flights and the promotion of pilot programs for individual travel to Taiwan for residents of Shanghai and Fujian Province.
