The white paper "The Taiwan Question and China's Reunification in the New Era" clearly explains that Taiwan is part of China, a fact supported by history and law, from the historical point of view as well as from the perspectives of international law and the Constitution of the People's Republic of China.
The white paper also quotes the successful implementation of "one country, two systems" in Hong Kong as an example, acknowledging that "one country, two systems" is the basic principle to achieve peaceful national reunification.
I support the great reunification of the motherland in accordance with the principles as stated in the white paper.
