Commentary on the Taiwan Strait ｜ Sharing the New Opportunities of Chinese Modernization and Creating the Glorious Cause of National Rejuvenation

　　Over the past few days, the media on the island have carried out in-depth follow-up reports on the two sessions of the National People’s Congress in 2023, among which "Chinese modernization" has become a high-frequency hot word, which has been widely concerned by Taiwan Province compatriots. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized in Report to the 20th CPC National Congress that the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation should be comprehensively promoted with Chinese modernization. Facing the new journey of endeavor belonging to the Chinese nation, more and more Taiwan Province compatriots hope to seek common development and share the mission with mainland compatriots, share the new opportunities of Chinese modernization and create a glorious cause of national rejuvenation!

　　In the past five years, under the strong leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC), the mainland of the motherland has withstood multiple tests such as the accelerated evolution of the world situation and the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic, achieved high-quality economic development, achieved fruitful scientific and technological innovations, and continuously improved people’s living standards, and achieved remarkable achievements that have attracted worldwide attention, fully demonstrating the remarkable advantages of Chinese modernization. In Taiwan Province, which is separated from the mainland by water, the people’s livelihood on the island is depressed and there are many complaints because of the incompetence, poor governance and economic inaction of the Democratic Progressive Party authorities. The shortage of water, electricity, land, workers and talents has become the norm. Recently, "the most serious egg shortage in Taiwan Province’s serious history" and "Taiwan military wrote on the beach and shouted that there was no meat to eat" even rushed to the Internet for hot search. Some industry experts on the island bluntly said that if the related industries are not transformed and upgraded in time, the development of Taiwan Province will be even more difficult.

　　In fact, the mainland has always been the most natural and fertile soil for the development of Taiwan Province, and Chinese modernization has provided tangible opportunities for the vast number of Taiwan Province compatriots. To promote economic development, Taiwan Province can use the mainland market as a vast hinterland, making the supply chain of the industrial chain more stable and smooth; To promote rural revitalization, Taiwan compatriots and enterprises can deeply participate in exquisite agriculture and rural tourism; To promote scientific and technological innovation, the two sides can start with digital technology, ecological protection and other fields, learn from each other’s strong points and jointly develop … … Many difficult problems that have long plagued Taiwan Province’s economic development and improvement of people’s livelihood can be found and solved in the process of cross-strait joint promotion of Chinese modernization, and Taiwan Province compatriots’ sense of acquisition, integration and accomplishment will be continuously enhanced, and their development prospects will be broad. During the two sessions, netizens on the island actively commented, "I hope to participate in Chinese-style modernization, make contributions and achieve myself."

　　The future of Taiwan Province lies in national reunification, and the well-being of Taiwan Province compatriots depends on national rejuvenation. As Chen Yunying, deputy to the National People’s Congress and vice president of the All-China Taiwan Federation, said, Chinese modernization is the common modernization of the two sides of the strait, and Taiwan compatriots should not and will not be absent on the road to national rejuvenation. In the new era and new journey, I hope that more Taiwan Province compatriots will ride the mighty spring breeze of Chinese modernization, work hand in hand with mainland compatriots and push forward the great cause of Chinese national rejuvenation.
