The One-China Principle has been evolved in the course of the
Chinese people''s just struggle to safeguard China''s sovereignty and
territorial integrity, and its basis, both de facto and de jure,is
unshakable.
Taiwan is an inalienable part of China. All the facts and laws
about Taiwan prove that Taiwan is an inalienable part of Chinese
territory. In April 1895, through a war of aggression against
China, Japan forced the Qing gov-ernment to sign the unequal Treaty
of Shimonoseki, and forcibly occupied Tai-wan. In July 1937, Japan
launched an all-out war of aggression against China. In December
1941, the Chinese government issued the Proclamation of China''s
Declaration of War Against Japan, announcing to the world that all
treaties,agreements and contracts concerning Sino-Japanese
relations, including the Treaty of Shimonoseki, had been abrogated,
and that China would recover Tai-wan. In December 1943, the Cairo
Declaration was issued by the Chinese, U.S. and British
governments, stipulating that Japan should return to China all the
territories it had stolen from the Chinese, including Northeast
China, Taiwan and the Penghu Archipelago. The Potsdam Proclamation
sjgned by China, the United States and Britain in 1945 (later
adhered to by the Soviet Union) stipu-lated that "The terms of the
Cairo Declaration shall be carried out." In August of that year,
Japan declared surrender and promised in its instrument of
surren-der that it would faithfully fulfil the obligations laid
down in the Potsdam Proc-lamation. On October 25, 1945, the Chinese
government recovered Taiwan and the Penghu Archipelago, resuming
the exercise of sovereignty over Taiwan.

The One-China Principle is the foundation stone for the
Chinese government''s policy on Taiwan. On Comrade Deng Xiaoping''s
initiative, the Chinese government has, since 1979, adopted the
policy of peaceful reunifica-tion and gradually evolved the
scientific concept of "one country, two systems." On this basis,
China established the basic principle of "peaceful
reunification,and one country, two systems." The key points of this
basic principle and the relevant policies are: China will do its
best to achieve peaceful reunification, but will not commit itself
to rule out the use of force; will actively promote
people-to-people contacts and economic and cultural exchanges
between the two sides of the Taiwan Straits, and start direct
trade, postal, air and shipping services as soon as possible;
achieve reunification through peaceful negotia-tions and, on the
premise of the One-China Principle, any matter can be ne-gotiated.
After reunification, the policy of "one country, two systems" will
be practiced, with the main body of China (China mainland)
continuing with its socialist system, and Taiwan maintaining its
capitalist system for a long period of time to come. After
reunification, Taiwan will enjoy a high degree of autono-my, and
the Central Government will not send troops or administrative
person-nel to be stationed in Taiwan. Resolution of the Tzuwan
issue is an internal affair of China, which should be achieved by
the Chinese themselves, and there is no call for aid by foreign
forces. The afore-mentioned principles and policies embody the
basic stand and spirit of adhering to the One-China Principle, and
fully respect Tai-wan compatriots'' wish to govem and.administer
Taiwan by themselves. In January 1995, President Jiang Zemin put
forward eight propositions on the development of relations between
the two sides of the Taiwan Straits and the promotion of peaceful
reunification of China, explicitly pointing out: "Adhering to the
One-China Prin-ciple is the basis and prerequisite for peaceful
reunification."
Only by adhering to the One-China Principle can peaceful
reunifica-tion be achieved. The Taiwan issue is one left over by
the Clunese civil war. As yet, the state of hostility between the
two sides of the Straits had not for-mally ended. To safeguard
China''s sovereignty and territorial integrity and real-ize the
reunification of the two sides of the Straits, the Chinese
government has the right to resort to any necessary means. Peaceful
means would be favorable to the common development of the societies
on both sides of the Straits, and to the harmony and unity of the
compatriots across the Straits. Peaceful means is therefore the
best means. The Chinese government''s declaration in 1979 0n
im-plementing the principle of peaceful reunification was based on
the premise that the Taiwan authorities at that time upheld the
principle that there is only one China in the world and Taiwan is a
part of China. Meanwhile, the Chinese gov-ernment took into account
the fact that the U.S. government, which for many years had
supported the Taiwan authorities, had accepted that there is only
one China in the world, Taiwan is a part of China and the
government of the PRC is the only legal government of China, and
saw this acknowledgement as be-ing beneficial to the peaceful
resolution of the Taiwan issue. While carrying out the policy of
peaceful reunification, the Chinese government always makes it
clear that the means used to solve the Taiwan issue is matter of
China''s internal affairs, and China is under no obligation to
commit itself to rule out the use of force. This is by no means
directed against Taiwan compatriots, but against the scheme to
create an "independent Taiwan" and against the foreign forces
inter-fering with the reunification of China, and is intended as a
necessary safeguard for the striving for peaceful reunification.
Resort to force would only be the last choice made under compelled
circumstances.
