China has reaffirmed its commitment to exploring a peaceful 'One Country, Two Systems' framework for Taiwan, emphasizing the island's unique circumstances and public sentiment. During a press briefing Wednesday, Chen Binhua of the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office stated the approach would prioritize dialogue with 'compatriots across the Taiwan Strait' to advance reunification. 🌏
The proposal aims to balance Taiwan's social realities with broader cross-strait interests, Chen added, noting that 'vigorous efforts' are underway to refine the model. This comes as Macao celebrates 25 years since its return to China—a milestone officials say underscores the policy's 'strong vitality and public support'. 📈
Chen highlighted Macao's economic and cultural growth since 1999 as proof that 'One Country, Two Systems' works, urging Taiwan residents to 'develop a deeper understanding' of the framework. The remarks signal Beijing's push for peaceful reunification while addressing local concerns—a delicate dance in cross-strait relations. 💬
