CPPCC resolution on Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan 12/3/2004

The annual session of the CPPCC National Committee Friday voiced firm support to the basic principle of "peaceful reunification of the motherland and one country, two systems" and the eight-point proposal for developing the relations on the two sides of the Taiwan Straits and promoting peaceful reunification of the motherland at the present stage.

A resolution adopted at the closing session Friday afternoon says that the realization of complete reunification of the motherland is the common aspirations of the sons and daughters of the Chinese nation at home and abroad and conforms to the common interests of the people of the whole of China, Taiwan compatriots included, says the resolution.

The resolution resolutely opposes any form of separatist activities for Taiwan independence. "We will never allow anybody to separate Taiwan from China by any means," says the resolution.

The resolution says that "all CPPCC members sincerely hope that compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Straits work hand in hand and contribute to the great cause of reunification of the motherland at the earliest possible date."

The resolution says that the practice of "one country, two systems" in Hong Kong and Macau is an important component part of building socialism with distinct Chinese characteristics and there should be no waver in implementing the principles of "one country, two systems" , "Hong Kong must be governed by Hong Kong people" and "Macau must be governed by Macau people".

The resolution calls for strict observation of the basic laws for the two special administrative regions. "All CPPCC members from Hong Kong and Macau should display their due roles, unite with all personalities who love the country and love Hong Kong and Macau, give full support to the chief executives and governments of the two special administrative regions in administering their affairs according to law and make concerted efforts to maintain and develop stability and prosperity of Hong Kong and Macau."
