Jiang Liping, on behalf of the Central Committee of the Taiwan Democratic Self-Government League, called on Taiwan authorities to acknowledge the 1992 Consensus and conduct consultation and cooperation with the Chinese mainland under the one-China framework.

Jiang said that the Chinese people take a clear-cut and unwavering stand when it comes to major issues concerning national reunification and lasting development. "There will not be any compromise or sway."

The league is one of the eight non-Communist parties in the Chinese mainland. It consists of Taiwan natives living in the mainland and was founded in 1947. It has more than 2,700 registered members.

Jiang praised the Chinese mainland's favorable policies, which have helped Taiwanese youth in studying and accomplishing better development in the mainland. However, cross-Straits youth exchanges have been impaired since Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party administration refused to recognize the 1992 Consensus.

Gao Youdong called for efforts to improve intellectual property protection through better legislation and create a credit system under which infringement acts will be recorded.

Cai Dafeng said the government should further disclose information in accordance with the law and improve the integrity management system so as to boost government credibility. Liu Xiaozhuang proposed carrying out comprehensive census on agriculture-related water and soil pollution and reducing pollution by the use of advanced technology.

Liu also urged more efforts to revise the law on the safety of agricultural products so as to ensure food safety.

Wang Dongsheng advised that China participate in global financial governance in a higher level and help boost global financial reform.

Wang also noted that China can contribute its wisdom to building an innovative, mutually beneficial, shared and inclusive international financial order.
