Resolving the Taiwan question and realizing China's complete reunification is
a shared aspiration of all the sons and daughters of the Chinese nation. It is
indispensable for the realization of China's rejuvenation. It is also a historic
mission of the Communist Party of China (CPC). The CPC, the Chinese
2 government, and the Chinese people have striven for decades to achieve this
goal.Taiwan has belonged to China since ancient times. This statement has a sound
basis in history and jurisprudence. New archeological discoveries and research
findings regularly attest to the profound historical and cultural ties between the
two sides of the Taiwan Straits. A large number of historical records and
annals document the development of Taiwan by the Chinese people in earlier
periods.
