《台湾问题论文选编(英文版)》:
Judging by the evolution of the mainland''s Taiwan policy - from the "one key link and four meshes" to "peaceful reunification, and one country, two systems:'' to Jiang Zemin''s "eight-point proposal" and further to Hu Jintao''s December 31 speech, the principle of "keeping pace with the times" featuring the spirit of seeking truth from fact has run all through. This is the underlying reason why the mainland''s Taiwan policy has been able to maintain its vitality and correctness. By keeping pace with the times, it is to be able to choose a practical and effective approach to gain the ultimate goal of national reunification by taking into consideration of both the macro and micro, both international and domestic, both the mainland and Taiwan, and by correctly sizing up the trend of events, establishing an overall strategy and developing supporting policies.
One the past six decades and more, the most significant example of "keeping pace with the times" on the part of the mainland in its Taiwan policy was Deng Xiaoping''s proposal of "peaceful reunification, and one country, two systems." As mentioned above, this was actually a product of the reorientation of China''s overall national development strategy. Reform and opening up and shifting the state''s focus of work to economic development is the key link, which has broadened the vista for and ushered in greater room for the mainland''s Taiwan policy and foreign affairs work. That is to say, when the key link (head rope) is raised, the meshes would be opened. We can still see the continuity of the same origin from the "one key link and four meshes" advanced by Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai in "Deng''s six points," such as standing for seeking reunification of the two sides of the Taiwan Straits mainly by way of the "third round of KMT-CPC cooperation." Yet, the theory of "peaceful reunification, and one country, two systems" represented a strategic adjustment, in both theoretical and practical terms, of the mainland''s previous Taiwan policy. On June 28, 1983, when Deng Xiaoping elaborated to Winston L. Y. Yang of Seton Hall University, New Jersey, a systematic exposition of "Deng''s six points," although still taking the KMTCPC "third round of cooperation" as the main line of peaceful reunification, making it clear that he supported "talks on a reciprocal basis" between the two parties, without mentioning "the negotiations between the central government and a local authority" as advocated in the earlier "one key link and four meshes" format. When some people from Taiwan complained that the mainland failed to pay sufficient attention to the people of Taiwan by taking the Taiwan leaders as the negotiating partners, Deng Xiaoping reacted immediately. He added the words "and people of all walks of life" to "the Taiwan authorities" in his speech at the National Day reception (October 2) held by the State Council in 1984. He explained in a speech made on October 22, "A wider contact is needed on the Taiwan question. In addition to taking the Kuomintang authorities and Chiang Ching-kuo as negotiating partners, we ought to carry out work extensively." Deng Xiaoping was a model for "keeping pace with the times."
Jiang Zemin''s "eight-point proposal" made adjustments and additions to "Deng''s six points" in line with new developments in various aspects, mainly as follows: (1) In view that the ban was lifted in Taiwan on the establishment of non-KMT political parties, and the Democratic Progressive Party and other political parties have successively established, the policy of working with the "Taiwan authorities and public" saw further expansion: "In negotiations for peaceful reunification, all political parties and groups from both sides of the Taiwan Straits can be invited to participate:'' (2) For the first time it proposed that the two sides, as the first step to solve the Taiwan question, first make negotiations on "officially ending the state of hostility." (3) The principle of "separating politics from economy" was clarified in handling cross-Straits relations, i.e., "We maintain that political differences should not affect or interfere with cross-Straits economic and trade cooperation." (4) The principle that "the authorities are distinguished from the people" is clarified at the international arena, i.e., "We would have no objections to the development of nongovernmental economic and cultural relations between Taiwan and other countries." (5) Emphasis is given to Chinese culture as "the spiritual bond holding together all Chinese" and "an important basis for achieving peaceful reunification." This was based on the proposal submitted by Wang Daohan. The "eight-point proposal" established the principled position of the mainland in handling a couple of major issues in cross-Straits relations.
