政府报告双语翻译：《台湾问题与新时代中国统一事业》

　　Peaceful reunification can only be achieved through consultation and discussion as equals. The long-standing political differences between the two sides are the fundamental obstacles to the steady improvement of cross-Straits relations, but we should not allow this problem to be passed down from one generation to the next. We can phase in flexible forms of consultation and discussion. We are ready to engage with all parties, groups, or individuals in Taiwan in a broad exchange of views aimed at resolving the political differences between the two sides based on the one-China principle and the 1992 Consensus. Representatives will be recommended by all political parties and all sectors of society on both sides, and they will engage in democratic consultations on peaceful development of cross-Straits relations, integrated development of the two sides, and the peaceful reunification of our country.

　　(二)努力推动两岸关系和平发展、融合发展

　　2. Promoting Peaceful Cross-Straits Relations and Integrated Development

　　两岸关系和平发展、融合发展是通向和平统一的重要途径，是造福两岸同胞的康庄大道，需要凝聚两岸同胞力量共同推进。我们要在两岸关系和平发展进程中深化两岸融合发展，密切两岸交流合作，拉紧两岸情感纽带和利益联结，增强两岸同胞对中华文化和中华民族的认同，铸牢两岸命运共同体意识，厚植祖国和平统一的基础。

　　Peaceful cross-Straits relations and integrated development pave the way for reunification and serve to benefit our people on both sides. Thus, both sides should work together towards this goal. We will extend integrated development, increase exchanges and cooperation, strengthen bonds, and expand common interests in the peaceful development of cross-Straits relations. In this way, we will all identify more closely with the Chinese culture and Chinese nation, and heighten the sense of our shared future. This lays solid foundations for peaceful reunification.

　　突出以通促融、以惠促融、以情促融，勇于探索海峡两岸融合发展新路，率先在福建建设海峡两岸融合发展示范区。持续推进两岸应通尽通，不断提升两岸经贸合作畅通、基础设施联通、能源资源互通、行业标准共通。推动两岸文化教育、医疗卫生合作，社会保障和公共资源共享，支持两岸邻近或条件相当地区基本公共服务均等化、普惠化、便捷化。积极推进两岸经济合作制度化，打造两岸共同市场，壮大中华民族经济。

　　We will explore an innovative approach to integrated development and take the lead in setting up a pilot zone for integrated cross-Straits development in Fujian Province, advancing integration through better connectivity and more preferential policies, and based on mutual trust and understanding. Both sides should continue to promote connectivity in any area where it is beneficial, including trade and economic cooperation, infrastructure, energy and resources, and industrial standards. We should promote cooperation in culture, education, and health care, and the sharing of social security and public resources. We should support neighboring areas or areas with similar conditions on the two sides in providing equal, universal, and accessible public services. We should take active steps to institutionalize cross-Straits economic cooperation and create a common market for the two sides to strengthen the Chinese economy.

　　完善保障台湾同胞福祉和在大陆享受同等待遇的制度和政策，依法维护台湾同胞正当权益。支持台胞台企参与“一带一路”建设、国家区域重大战略和区域协调发展战略，融入新发展格局，参与高质量发展，让台湾同胞分享更多发展机遇，参与国家经济社会发展进程。

　　We will improve the systems and policies to guarantee the wellbeing of Taiwan compatriots and ensure that they are treated as equals on the mainland, and we will protect their legitimate rights and interests here in accordance with the law. We will support our fellow Chinese and enterprises from Taiwan in participating in the Belt and Road Initiative, major regional development strategies, and the strategy for coordinated regional development. We will help them integrate into the new development dynamic, participate in high-quality development, share in more development opportunities, and benefit from national socio-economic development.

　　排除干扰、克服障碍，不断扩大两岸各领域交流合作。推动两岸同胞共同传承和创新发展中华优秀传统文化，加强两岸基层民众和青少年交流，吸引更多台胞特别是台湾青年来大陆学习、创业、就业、生活，使两岸同胞加深相互理解，增进互信认同，逐步实现心灵契合。

　　We will expand cross-Straits exchanges and cooperation in various fields and overcome any obstacles and obstruction. We will encourage our people on both sides to pass on the best of traditional Chinese culture and ensure that it grows in new and creative ways. We will strengthen communication among the general public and the younger generations on both sides, and encourage more fellow Chinese in Taiwan – young people in particular – to pursue studies, start businesses, seek jobs, or live on the mainland. This will help people on both sides to expand mutual understanding, strengthen mutual trust, consolidate a shared sense of identity, and forge closer bonds of heart and mind.

　　(三)坚决粉碎“台独”分裂和外来干涉图谋

　　3. Defeating Separatism and External Interference

　　搞“台独”分裂只会将台湾推入灾难深渊，给台湾同胞带来深重祸害。维护包括台湾同胞在内的中华民族整体利益，必须坚决反对“台独”分裂、促进祖国和平统一。我们愿意为和平统一创造广阔空间，但绝不为各种形式的“台独”分裂活动留下任何空间。中国人的事要由中国人来决定。台湾问题是中国的内政，事关中国核心利益和中国人民民族感情，不容任何外来干涉。任何利用台湾问题干涉中国内政、阻挠中国统一进程的图谋和行径，都将遭到包括台湾同胞在内的全体中国人民的坚决反对。任何人都不要低估中国人民捍卫国家主权和领土完整的坚强决心、坚定意志、强大能力。

　　Separatism will plunge Taiwan into the abyss and bring nothing but disaster to the island. To protect the interests of the Chinese nation as a whole, including our compatriots in Taiwan, we must resolutely oppose it and work for peaceful reunification. We are ready to create vast space for peaceful reunification; but we will leave no room for separatist activities in any form.

　　We Chinese will decide our own affairs. The Taiwan question is an internal affair that involves China’s core interests and the Chinese people’s national sentiments, and no external interference will be tolerated. Any attempt to use the Taiwan question as a pretext to interfere in China’s internal affairs or obstruct China’s reunification will meet with the resolute opposition of the Chinese people, including our compatriots in Taiwan. No one should underestimate our resolve, will and ability to defend China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

　　我们愿继续以最大诚意、尽最大努力争取和平统一。我们不承诺放弃使用武力，保留采取一切必要措施的选项，针对的是外部势力干涉和极少数“台独”分裂分子及其分裂活动，绝非针对台湾同胞，非和平方式将是不得已情况下做出的最后选择。如果“台独”分裂势力或外部干涉势力挑衅逼迫，甚至突破红线，我们将不得不采取断然措施。始终坚持做好以非和平方式及其他必要措施应对外部势力干涉和“台独”重大事变的充分准备，目的是从根本上维护祖国和平统一的前景、推进祖国和平统一的进程。

　　We will work with the greatest sincerity and exert our utmost efforts to achieve peaceful reunification. But we will not renounce the use of force, and we reserve the option of taking all necessary measures. This is to guard against external interference and all separatist activities. In no way does it target our fellow Chinese in Taiwan. Use of force would be the last resort taken under compelling circumstances. We will only be forced to take drastic measures to respond to the provocation of separatist elements or external forces should they ever cross our red lines.

　　We will always be ready to respond with the use of force or other necessary means to interference by external forces or radical action by separatist elements. Our ultimate goal is to ensure the prospects of China’s peaceful reunification and advance this process.

　　当前，美国一些势力图谋“以台制华”，处心积虑打“台湾牌”，刺激“台独”分裂势力冒险挑衅，不仅严重危害台海和平稳定，妨碍中国政府争取和平统一的努力，也严重影响中美关系健康稳定发展。如果任其发展下去，必将导致台海形势紧张持续升级，给中美关系造成颠覆性的巨大风险，并严重损害美国自身利益。美国应该恪守一个中国原则，慎重妥善处理涉台问题，停止说一套做一套，以实际行动履行不支持“台独”的承诺。

　　Some forces in the US are making every effort to incite groups inside Taiwan to stir up trouble and use Taiwan as a pawn against China. This has jeopardized peace and stability across the Taiwan Straits, obstructed the Chinese government’s efforts towards peaceful reunification, and undermined the healthy and steady development of China-US relations. Left unchecked, it will continue to escalate tension across the Straits, further disrupt China-US relations, and severely damage the interests of the US itself. The US should abide by the one-China principle, deal with Taiwan-related issues in a prudent and proper manner, stand by its previous commitments, and stop supporting Taiwan separatists.

　　(四)团结台湾同胞共谋民族复兴和国家统一

　　4. Working with Our Fellow Chinese in Taiwan Towards National Reunification and Rejuvenation

　　国家统一是中华民族走向伟大复兴的历史必然。台湾前途在于国家统一，台湾同胞福祉系于民族复兴。实现中华民族伟大复兴，与两岸同胞前途命运息息相关。民族强盛，是两岸同胞之福;民族弱乱，是两岸同胞之祸。民族复兴、国家强盛，两岸同胞才能过上富足美好的生活。实现中华民族伟大复兴需要两岸同胞共同奋斗，实现祖国完全统一同样需要两岸同胞携手努力。

　　National reunification is an essential step towards national rejuvenation. The future of Taiwan lies in China’s reunification, and the wellbeing of the people in Taiwan hinges on the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, an endeavor that bears on the future and destiny of the people on both sides. A united and prosperous China will be a blessing for all Chinese, while a weak and divided China will be a disaster. Only China’s rejuvenation and prosperity can bring lives of plenty and happiness to both sides. But it requires the joint efforts of both sides, as does the complete reunification of the country.

　　由于受到“台独”思想毒害，也由于两岸政治分歧问题尚未得到解决，一些台湾同胞对两岸关系性质和国家认同问题认识出现偏差，对祖国统一心存疑惧。台湾同胞是我们的骨肉天亲，两岸同胞是血浓于水的一家人。我们愿意保持足够的耐心和包容心，创造条件加强两岸交流交往，不断加深广大台湾同胞对祖国大陆的了解，逐步减少他们的误解和疑虑，进而走出受“台独”煽惑的历史误区。

　　Separatist propaganda and the unresolved political dispute between the two sides have created misconceptions over cross-Straits relations, problems with national identity, and misgivings over national reunification among some fellow Chinese in Taiwan. Blood is thicker than water, and people on both sides of the Straits share the bond of kinship. We have great patience and tolerance and we will create conditions for closer exchanges and communication between the two sides, and to increase our compatriots’ knowledge of the mainland and reduce these misconceptions and misgivings, in order to help them resist the manipulation of separatists.

　　我们将团结广大台湾同胞共创祖国统一、民族复兴的光荣伟业。希望广大台湾同胞坚定站在历史正确的一边，做堂堂正正的中国人，认真思考台湾在民族复兴中的地位和作用，深明大义、奉义而行，坚决反对“台独”分裂和外部势力干涉，积极参与到推进祖国和平统一的正义事业中来。

　　We will join hands with our fellow Chinese in Taiwan to strive for national reunification and rejuvenation. We hope they will stand on the right side of history, be proud of their Chinese identity, and fully consider the position and role of Taiwan in China’s rejuvenation. We hope they will pursue the greater good of the nation, resolutely oppose separatism and any form of external interference, and make a positive contribution to the just cause of China’s peaceful reunification.

　　五、实现祖国和平统一的光明前景

　　V. Bright Prospects for Peaceful Reunification

　　按照“一国两制”实现两岸和平统一，将给中国发展进步和中华民族伟大复兴奠定新的基础，将给台湾经济社会发展创造巨大机遇，将给广大台湾同胞带来实实在在的好处。

　　Once peaceful reunification is achieved under One Country, Two Systems, it will lay new foundations for China to make further progress and achieve national rejuvenation. At the same time, it will create huge opportunities for social and economic development in Taiwan and bring tangible benefits to the people of Taiwan.

　　(一)台湾发展空间将更为广阔

　　1. Taiwan Will Have a Vast Space for Development

　　台湾经济发展水平较高，产业特色明显，对外贸易发达，两岸经济互补性强。统一后，两岸经济合作机制、制度更加完善，台湾经济将以大陆市场为广阔腹地，发展空间更大，竞争力更强，产业链供应链更加稳定通畅，创新活力更加生机勃勃。长期困扰台湾经济发展和民生改善的众多难题，可以在两岸融合发展、应通尽通中得到解决。台湾财政收入尽可用于改善民生，多为老百姓做实事、办好事、解难事。

　　Taiwan boasts a high level of economic growth, industries with distinctive local features, and robust foreign trade. Its economy is highly complementary with that of the mainland. After reunification, the systems and mechanisms for cross-Straits economic cooperation will be further improved. Backed up by the vast mainland market, Taiwan’s economy will enjoy broader prospects, become more competitive, develop steadier and smoother industrial and supply chains, and display greater vitality in innovation-driven growth. Many problems that have long afflicted Taiwan’s economy and its people can be resolved through integrated cross-Straits development with all possible connectivity between the two sides. Taiwan’s fiscal revenues can be better employed to improve living standards, bringing real benefits to the people and resolving their difficulties.

　　台湾的文化创造力将得到充分发扬，两岸同胞共同传承中华文化、弘扬民族精神，台湾地域文化在中华文化根脉的滋养中更加枝繁叶茂、焕发光彩。

　　Taiwan’s cultural creativity will also enjoy a great boost. Both sides of the Taiwan Straits share the culture and ethos of the Chinese nation. Nourished by the Chinese civilization, Taiwan’s regional culture will flourish and prosper.

　　(二)台湾同胞切身利益将得到充分保障

　　2. The Rights and Interests of the People in Taiwan Will Be Fully Protected

　　在确保国家主权、安全、发展利益的前提下，台湾可以作为特别行政区实行高度自治。台湾同胞的社会制度和生活方式等将得到充分尊重，台湾同胞的私人财产、宗教信仰、合法权益将得到充分保障。所有拥护祖国统一、民族复兴的台湾同胞将在台湾真正当家作主，参与祖国建设，尽享发展红利。有强大祖国做依靠，台湾同胞在国际上腰杆会更硬、底气会更足，更加安全、更有尊严。

　　Provided that China’s sovereignty, security and development interests are guaranteed, after reunification Taiwan will enjoy a high degree of autonomy as a special administrative region. Taiwan’s social system and its way of life will be fully respected, and the private property, religious beliefs, and lawful rights and interests of the people in Taiwan will be fully protected. All Taiwan compatriots who support reunification of the country and rejuvenation of the nation will be the masters of the region, contributing to and benefitting from China’s development. With a powerful motherland in support, the people of Taiwan will enjoy greater security and dignity and stand upright and rock-solid in the international community.

　　(三)两岸同胞共享民族复兴的伟大荣光

　　3. Both Sides of the Taiwan Straits Will Share the Triumph of National Rejuvenation

　　台湾同胞崇敬祖先、爱土爱乡、勤劳勇敢、自强不息，具有光荣的爱国主义传统。两岸同胞发挥聪明才智，携手共创美好未来潜力巨大。统一后，两岸同胞可以弥合因长期没有统一而造成的隔阂，增进一家人的同胞亲情，更加紧密地团结起来;可以发挥各自优势，实现互利互补，携手共谋发展;可以共同促进中华民族的繁荣昌盛，让中华民族以更加昂扬的姿态屹立于世界民族之林。
