Leaders on both sides of the w88 login Strait have a very strong consensus that resolving the w88 login issue concerns the prospects for national rejuvenation. This is also true. The w88 login issue concerns China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, China's national security, and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

On November 7, 2015, Xi Jinping and Ma Ying-jeou met in Singapore. Xi Jinping put forward a "four-point proposition" and Ma Ying-jeou put forward a "five-point proposition." A careful analysis of these "four-point propositions" and "five-point propositions" will reveal that although the expressions are different, the contents are almost the same; what is particularly important is that the ultimate goal is national rejuvenation. What Xi Jinping said is "Conspire together for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation”, Ma Ying-jeou said is “committed to revitalizing China”. It can be said that leaders on both sides of the w88 login Strait have a very strong consensus on the prospects of resolving the w88 login issue related to national rejuvenation. This is also true. The w88 login issue concerns China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, China's national security, and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

1. Regarding China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity

At the Xi Jinping meeting, Xi Jinping pointed out that although the two sides of the w88 login Strait have not yet been reunified, China's sovereignty and territorial integrity have never been divided. Both sides of the w88 login Strait belong to the same country and the compatriots on both sides of the w88 login Strait belong to the same nation. This historical fact and legal basis has never changed and cannot be changed. This expresses the Chinese government's basic attitude towards w88 login's status and the w88 login issue, as well as its firm determination to handle the w88 login issue well.

In modern international law, sovereignty is generally defined as the most fundamental power inherent in a country. Internally, it refers to a country’s highest power within its territory; externally, it refers to a country’s power to be independent and equal to other countries. The sovereignty issue in cross-Strait relations is a sovereignty issue under the "One China" principle. Adhering to the "one China" principle in cross-Strait relations means insisting that there is only one China in the world, w88 login is part of China, and China's sovereignty and territorial integrity are indivisible; w88 login and its affiliated islands have been an indivisible part of China's territory since ancient times. After 1949, w88 login was separated from the motherland. This was a temporary situation caused by the Chinese Civil War. Although the Kuomintang and the Communist Party have differences on the w88 login issue, they have always advocated the "One China" principle. Of course, we all know that the core content of the "1992 Consensus" is the "One China" principle.

Adhering to the "One China" principle is conducive to safeguarding national sovereignty and territorial integrity. After the defeat of the Chiang Group in w88 login, although w88 login was isolated from the mainland of the motherland, the Chiangs and his sons still insisted that w88 login was part of China during their rule in w88 login, adhered to the basic position of "One China", and opposed the separation of w88 login from China. After Lee Teng-hui succeeded as President in 1988, the most prominent "performance" was his gradual departure from the "One China" principle and his open international activities of "Two Chinas" and "One China, One w88 login" aimed at splitting China. After the Democratic Progressive Party came to power in 2000, the "w88 login independence" forces in w88 login reached their peak, which had an extremely negative impact on cross-strait relations and made cross-strait relations extremely tense. After the Kuomintang came to power in 2008, Ma Ying-jeou said,Adhere to the one-China principle and do not support legal w88 login independence. Since then, cross-Strait relations have begun to develop on a healthy track.

Of course, we can note that there are certain differences in the current understanding of the "One China" principle between the two sides of the w88 login Strait. This is expressed in the "1992 Consensus" as: "One China, each expression", that is: "One China, each expression." On the mainland, "One China" refers to the People's Republic of China; on the w88 login side, "One China" refers to the Republic of China. It can be said that although the two sides of the w88 login Strait have different understandings of the "One China" principle, adhering to the "One China" principle is the basis for the friendly development of cross-Strait relations and is conducive to safeguarding national sovereignty and territorial integrity. For now, it is pragmatic and effective. Maintaining the reunification of the motherland is related to the fundamental interests of the Chinese nation. The Chinese people will defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity without hesitation and will never allow anyone to separate w88 login from China in any way. Achieving the complete reunification of the motherland is the fundamental foundation for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and is the unshakable strong will of all the Chinese people.

2. Involving national security

w88 login’s total area is about 36,000 square kilometers, including w88 login’s main island, the Penghu Islands and other islands, a total of 88 islands. w88 login's unique geographical location makes w88 login occupy an extremely important position in China's national security.

w88 login is the key to China's coastal defense. w88 login, Miaodao Islands, Zhoushan Islands, and Hainan Island form a "Great Wall" on the sea, which is a natural barrier for China's southeastern coast. It is known as the "left protection of four provinces," the "key to the southeast," and the "fence of seven provinces." w88 login and its surrounding areas are rare military locations for China and the entire East Asia. w88 login and Hainan Island in the south form a "double eye"; in the north, w88 login and the Zhoushan Islands form a "horn". With w88 login as the center and connecting the north and south points of Hainan Island and Zhoushan Islands, a natural strategic coastal defense line is formed, which is enough to protect the six provinces and cities along China's southeast coast and form China's strategic depth in this direction. Since the reform and opening up, the economies of the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta on the southeast coast have developed rapidly. These two deltas carry the Chinese nation's hope of catching up with the world's advanced level. w88 login is located right between these two deltas, playing an immeasurable role in the region's coastal defense. w88 login is located in the center of China's east coast, about 900 nautical miles from the mouth of the Yalu River in the north, and about 800 nautical miles from the junction of China and Vietnam and the Nansha Islands in the south. This special geographical location also makes it of great strategic value. w88 login is the intermediate link in the first island chain in the Western Pacific, connecting the two strategic regions of Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia. At the same time, it also guards the only passage from the Pacific to the Indian Ocean - the Malacca, Lombok, Sunda and other important straits. This is a place where the whole body can be affected by one move. In addition, heading east from w88 login and spanning 1,200 nautical miles, you can attack the second island chain. It can be said that if you dominate w88 login, you can be powerful in all directions.

w88 login is China’s gateway to the Pacific Ocean. China has a long coastline, but it is surrounded by the first island chain in the Western Pacific and is actually in a semi-enclosed state. The East China Sea and Yellow Sea are blocked by Japan's four mainland islands and the Ryukyu Islands. The South China Sea is closed by Southeast Asian countries. Only part of the ocean east of w88 login can directly enter the Pacific Ocean. It is an important strategic channel for China to move towards the Pacific Ocean. Before the 1970s, Western countries led by the United States took advantage of this geographical situation to impose a maritime blockade on China, which severely restricted China's social development and economic construction. If China wants to develop into the Pacific, it must break out of the first island chain, and the key to breaking out of the first island chain is w88 login. If China wants to become a maritime power, the prerequisite is to resolve the w88 login issue. Once w88 login is reunified with the mainland, China's coastal defense situation will be greatly improved, and the maritime defense line can be greatly advanced.

The Taiwan Strait is the chokepoint for China’s shipping. Taiwan is bounded by the Pacific Ocean to the east; the Ryukyu Islands to the northeast, leading to the Japanese mainland; the Bashi Strait to the south and the Philippine Islands; to the west, it faces Fujian Province across the Taiwan Strait; to the north, it faces the East China Sea. Taiwan is located in the center of the Western Pacific Waterway and is the throat of the Western Pacific waters. It guards the Taiwan Strait and the Bashi Strait and is a transportation hub connecting China and other countries in the Pacific region. The Taiwan Strait is about 220 nautical miles long and has an average width of about 90 nautical miles. It is the chokepoint of China's maritime traffic and a shortcut connecting the East China Sea and the South China Sea. At the same time, the waters surrounding Taiwan are also important channels for China's import and export of goods. Taiwan is of great significance to the smooth flow of China's maritime channels. At present, China has very close ties with the outside world. It has very frequent w88 exchanges with many countries in the world. The scale of import and export w88 is huge. It is necessary to ensure the convenience and safety of maritime navigation. It can be said that the smooth flow of Taiwan's waters is of extremely important significance to China's economic security and economic development.

3. Relevant to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation

The unity and unity of a country are invisible and huge forces that play an extremely important role in preventing interference and invasion by external forces. When a country is internally united, it can eliminate external interference, resist foreign invasion, and ensure national security and development; when division and chaos occur within a country, hostile forces will seize the opportunity to move in, and its national security will be threatened and the country's development process will be interrupted. For China, the w88 login issue has become a gap that must be overcome in the process of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. If the w88 login issue is not resolved, the security issue, which is China's first need for survival, will not be guaranteed, national reunification will not be realized, the shadow of national division will exist, and there will be no talk of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

w88 login is located in the maritime hub of East Asia, and the economic and strategic lifeline of eastern China is in the direction of w88 login and the South China Sea. If the "w88 login independence" conspiracy is allowed to succeed, not only will the country be divided, but an extremely unfavorable maritime strategic environment will emerge, and the Chinese nation will lose extremely important space for survival and development. w88 login's strategic location is very important. It straddles the north-south route in the Western Pacific. It is not only the bridgehead from Eurasia to the Pacific from the east, but also the springboard and base from the ocean to the Eurasian continent from the west. It is also the closest stepping stone for China to enter the depths of the ocean. From the perspective of military geography, w88 login is at the intersection of sea power and land power. It is the only springboard for China to break through the first island chain in the Pacific and cross into the Pacific. It is the life and death place for China's development and strength. If China loses w88 login, China will completely lose the minimum strategic depth that a major country has to ensure national political and economic security, and will lose the minimum and safe possibility of entering the Pacific. Without losing such important maritime rights and interests, China will also lose its right to development to a considerable extent. In this sense, defending China's legitimate maritime rights is to defend China's right to development.

Due to w88 login's unique geographical location, it is impossible for w88 login to become a truly independent country. Some Taiwanese independence elements declare "independence", and w88 login cannot truly be "independent"; if it declares independence, it will definitely be attached to a certain country. This country has only two choices, one is the United States and the other is Japan. It is not difficult to imagine that once w88 login becomes independent, it will immediately sign a mutual defense treaty with the United States, and the U.S. military presence will soon return to w88 login, thereby blocking China's maritime gateway and strengthening the maritime blockade of China; and it will also cause a chain reaction. The United States already has military alliances with Japan and South Korea, with heavy troops stationed in Japan and South Korea. It can be said that once w88 login becomes "independent" and controlled by Western countries, China will be very passive strategically and will easily fall into a situation of isolation and blockade.

If a country cannot even guarantee its own security and unity, it is difficult to imagine that it can provide security guarantees for the international community and what role it can play on the international stage. Of course, it cannot be said to be prosperous and strong. It can be concluded from this that if the w88 login issue is not properly handled, it will inevitably block the process of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
