At the Feb. 11 Taiwan Affairs Office press briefing, a reporter asked: The 2026 conference on Taiwan-related work was recently held in Beijing. Please interpret the meeting’s key points. How will you implement them going forward?
TAO spokesperson Zhu Fenglian replied: The 2026 conference on Taiwan-related work was held in Beijing from Feb. 9 to 10. Wang Huning, member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Central Committee Political Bureau and chairman of the National Committee of the CPPCC, attended and delivered remarks. The meeting fully affirmed the achievements of Taiwan-related work over the past year, deeply analyzed the current cross-strait situation and that of the period ahead, and put forward clear requirements for this year’s work.
Zhu said: This year marks the 105th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China and is the first year of the 15th Five-Year Plan period. In accordance with the meeting’s deployments and requirements, and guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, we will fully implement General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important statements on Taiwan-related work and the Party’s overall strategy for resolving the Taiwan question in the new era. We will uphold the one-China principle and the “1992 Consensus,” unite the broad masses of Taiwan compatriots, firmly support patriotic forces on the island that seek reunification, resolutely strike “Taiwan independence” separatist forces and oppose interference by external forces, and safeguard peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.
We will uphold the concept that “compatriots on both sides are one family,” keep cross-strait personnel exchanges smooth and convenient, expand people-to-people and grassroots exchanges, support Taiwan residents—especially youth—coming to the mainland to study, work, and live, promote the joint carrying-forward of Chinese culture, and foster greater spiritual affinity between compatriots on both sides.
We will also support the development of Taiwan businesspeople and Taiwan-funded enterprises on the mainland, improve policy measures that benefit Taiwan compatriots and Taiwan enterprises, deepen cross-strait integrated development, and enable compatriots on both sides to share in the opportunities and outcomes of Chinese-style modernization.
