政府报告双语翻译：《台湾问题与新时代中国统一事业》

　　The important principles of respecting state sovereignty and territorial integrity as enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations are the cornerstones of modern international law and basic norms of international relations. It is the sacred right of every sovereign state to safeguard national unity and territorial integrity. It goes without saying that the Chinese government is entitled to take all measures necessary to settle the Taiwan question and achieve national reunification, free of external interference.

　　Behind the smokescreens of “freedom, democracy, and human rights” and “upholding the rules-based international order”, some anti-China forces in the US deliberately distort the nature of the Taiwan question – which is purely an internal matter for China – and try to deny the legitimacy and justification of the Chinese government in safeguarding national sovereignty and territorial integrity. This clearly reveals their intention of using Taiwan to contain China and obstruct China’s reunification, which should be thoroughly exposed and condemned.

　　外部势力打“台湾牌”，是把台湾当作遏制中国发展进步、阻挠中华民族伟大复兴的棋子，牺牲的是台湾同胞的利益福祉和光明前途，绝不是为了台湾同胞好。他们纵容鼓动“台独”分裂势力滋事挑衅，加剧两岸对抗和台海形势紧张，破坏亚太地区和平稳定，既违逆求和平、促发展、谋共赢的时代潮流，也违背国际社会期待和世界人民意愿。新中国成立之初，在百废待兴、百业待举的情况下，中国共产党和中国政府紧紧依靠人民，以“钢少气多”力克“钢多气少”，赢得抗美援朝战争伟大胜利，捍卫了新中国安全，彰显了新中国大国地位，展现了我们不畏强暴、反抗强权的铮铮铁骨。中国坚定不移走和平发展道路，同时决不会在任何外来干涉的压力面前退缩，决不会容忍国家主权、安全、发展利益受到任何损害。“挟洋谋独”没有出路，“以台制华”注定失败。

　　These external forces are using Taiwan as a pawn to undermine China’s development and progress, and obstruct the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. They are doing so at the cost of the interests, wellbeing and future of the people of Taiwan rather than for their benefit. They have encouraged and instigated provocative actions by the separatist forces; these have intensified cross-Straits tension and confrontation, and undermined peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region. This runs counter to the underlying global trends of peace, development and win-win cooperation, and goes against the wishes of the international community and the aspiration of all peoples.

　　Shortly after the PRC was founded, even though the country itself had to be rebuilt on the ruins of decades of war, China and its people won a resounding victory in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea (1950-1953). We defeated a powerful and well-armed enemy through gallantry and tenacity. In doing so, we safeguarded the security of the newly founded People’s Republic, reestablished the status of China as a major country in the world, and demonstrated our heroic spirit, our lack of fear, and our will to stand up against the abuse of the powerful.

　　China is firmly committed to peaceful development. At the same time, it will not flinch under any external interference, nor will it tolerate any infringement upon its sovereignty, security and development interests. Relying on external forces will achieve nothing for Taiwan’s separatists, and using Taiwan to contain China is doomed to fail.

　　要安宁、要发展、要过好日子，是台湾同胞的普遍心声，创造美好生活是两岸同胞的共同追求。在中国共产党的坚强领导下，中国人民和中华民族迎来从站起来、富起来到强起来的伟大飞跃，一穷二白、人口众多的祖国大陆全面建成小康社会，我们更有条件、更有信心、更有能力完成祖国统一大业，让两岸同胞都过上更好的日子。祖国统一的历史车轮滚滚向前，任何人任何势力都无法阻挡。

　　Tranquility, development and a decent life are the expectations of our Taiwan compatriots, and the common aspiration of those on both sides of the Taiwan Straits. Under the strong leadership of the CPC, the Chinese people and the Chinese nation have stood upright, won prosperity, and grown in strength. A moderately prosperous society in all respects has been built on the mainland, where a large population once lived in dire poverty. We now have better conditions, more confidence, and greater capabilities. We can complete the historic mission of national reunification, so that both sides of the Straits can enjoy a better life. The wheel of history rolls on towards national reunification, and it will not be stopped by any individual or any force.

　　四、在新时代新征程上推进祖国统一

　　IV. National Reunification in the New Era

　　在民族复兴的新征程上，中国共产党和中国政府统筹中华民族伟大复兴战略全局和世界百年未有之大变局，深入贯彻新时代中国共产党解决台湾问题的总体方略和对台大政方针，扎实推动两岸关系和平发展、融合发展，坚定推进祖国统一进程。

　　Taking into consideration the overall goal of national rejuvenation in the context of global change on a scale unseen in a century, the CPC and the Chinese government have continued to follow the CPC’s fundamental guidelines on the Taiwan question and implement its principles and policies towards Taiwan, and have made concrete efforts to promote peaceful cross-Straits relations, integrate the development of the two sides, and work towards national reunification.

　　(一)坚持“和平统一、一国两制”基本方针

　　1. Upholding the Basic Principles of Peaceful Reunification and One Country, Two Systems

　　以和平方式实现祖国统一，最符合包括台湾同胞在内的中华民族整体利益，最有利于中国的长期稳定发展，是中国共产党和中国政府解决台湾问题的第一选择。尽管几十年来遇到困难和阻力，但我们仍然坚持不懈地争取和平统一，这体现了我们对民族大义、同胞福祉与两岸和平的珍视和维护。

　　National reunification by peaceful means is the first choice of the CPC and the Chinese government in resolving the Taiwan question, as it best serves the interests of the Chinese nation as a whole, including our compatriots in Taiwan, and it works best for the long-term stability and development of China. We have worked hard to overcome hardships and obstacles to peaceful reunification over the past decades, showing that we cherish and safeguard the greater good of the nation, the wellbeing of our compatriots in Taiwan, and peace on both sides.

　　“一国两制”是中国共产党和中国政府为实现和平统一作出的重要制度安排，是中国特色社会主义的一个伟大创举。“和平统一、一国两制”是我们解决台湾问题的基本方针，也是实现国家统一的最佳方式，体现了海纳百川、有容乃大的中华智慧，既充分考虑台湾现实情况，又有利于统一后台湾长治久安。我们主张，和平统一后，台湾可以实行不同于祖国大陆的社会制度，依法实行高度自治，两种社会制度长期共存、共同发展。“一国”是实行“两制”的前提和基础，“两制”从属和派生于“一国”并统一于“一国”之内。我们将继续团结台湾同胞，积极探索“两制”台湾方案，丰富和平统一实践。“一国两制”在台湾的具体实现形式会充分考虑台湾现实情况，会充分吸收两岸各界意见和建议，会充分照顾到台湾同胞利益和感情。

　　The One Country, Two Systems principle is an important institutional instrument created by the CPC and the Chinese government to enable peaceful reunification. It represents a great achievement of Chinese socialism. Peaceful reunification and One Country, Two Systems are our basic principles for resolving the Taiwan question and the best approach to realizing national reunification. Embodying the Chinese wisdom – we thrive by embracing each other – they take full account of Taiwan’s realities and are conducive to long-term stability in Taiwan after reunification.

　　We maintain that after peaceful reunification, Taiwan may continue its current social system and enjoy a high degree of autonomy in accordance with the law. The two social systems will develop side by side for a long time to come. One Country is the precondition and foundation of Two Systems; Two Systems is subordinate to and derives from One Country; and the two are integrated under the one-China principle.

　　We will continue working with our compatriots in Taiwan to explore a Two Systems solution to the Taiwan question and increase our efforts towards peaceful reunification. In designing the specifics for implementing One Country, Two Systems, we will give full consideration to the realities in Taiwan and the views and proposals from all walks of life on both sides, and fully accommodate the interests and sentiments of our compatriots in Taiwan.

　　“一国两制”提出以来，台湾一些政治势力曲解误导，民进党及其当局不遗余力地造谣抹黑，造成部分台湾同胞的偏颇认知。事实是，香港、澳门回归祖国后，重新纳入国家治理体系，走上了同祖国内地优势互补、共同发展的宽广道路，“一国两制”实践取得举世公认的成功。同时，一个时期内，受各种内外复杂因素影响，“反中乱港”活动猖獗，香港局势一度出现严峻局面。中国共产党和中国政府审时度势，采取一系列标本兼治的举措，坚持和完善“一国两制”制度体系，推动香港局势实现由乱到治的重大转折，进入由治及兴的新阶段，为推进依法治港治澳、促进“一国两制”实践行稳致远打下了坚实基础。

　　Ever since the One Country, Two Systems principle was proposed, certain political forces have been misrepresenting and distorting its objectives. The DPP and the authorities under its leadership have done everything possible to target the principle with baseless criticisms, and this has led to misunderstandings about its aims in some quarters of Taiwan. It is a fact that since Hong Kong and Macao returned to the motherland and were reincorporated into national governance, they have embarked on a broad path of shared development together with the mainland, and each complements the others’ strengths. The practice of One Country, Two Systems has been a resounding success.

　　For a time, Hong Kong faced a period of damaging social unrest caused by anti-China agitators both inside and outside the region. Based on a clear understanding of the situation there, the CPC and the Chinese government upheld the One Country, Two Systems principle, made some appropriate improvements, and took a series of measures that addressed both the symptoms and root causes of the unrest. Order was restored and prosperity returned to Hong Kong. This has laid a solid foundation for the law-based governance of Hong Kong and Macao and the long-term continuation of One Country, Two Systems.

　　实现两岸和平统一，必须面对大陆和台湾社会制度与意识形态不同这一基本问题。“一国两制”正是为解决这个问题而提出的最具包容性的方案。这是一个和平的方案、民主的方案、善意的方案、共赢的方案。两岸制度不同，不是统一的障碍，更不是分裂的借口。我们相信，随着时间的推移，“一国两制”将被广大台湾同胞重新认识;在两岸同胞共同致力实现和平统一的过程中，“两制”台湾方案的空间和内涵将得到充分展现。

　　To realize peaceful reunification, we must acknowledge that the mainland and Taiwan have their own distinct social systems and ideologies. The One Country, Two Systems principle is the most inclusive solution to this problem. It is an approach that is grounded in democratic principles, demonstrates good will, seeks peaceful resolution of the Taiwan question, and delivers mutual benefit. The differences in social system are neither an obstacle to reunification nor a justification for secessionism. We firmly believe that our compatriots in Taiwan will develop a better understanding of the principle, and that the Two Systems solution to the Taiwan question will play its full role while compatriots on both sides work together towards peaceful reunification.

　　和平统一，是平等协商、共议统一。两岸长期存在的政治分歧问题是影响两岸关系行稳致远的总根子，总不能一代一代传下去。两岸协商谈判可以有步骤、分阶段进行，方式可灵活多样。我们愿意在一个中国原则和“九二共识”的基础上，同台湾各党派、团体和人士就解决两岸政治分歧问题开展对话沟通，广泛交换意见。我们也愿意继续推动由两岸各政党、各界别推举的代表性人士开展民主协商，共商推动两岸关系和平发展、融合发展和祖国和平统一的大计。
