Text of report:
At a meeting with Prof L.Y. Yang of Seton Hall University, N.J., USA, in Peking on 26th June, Deng Xiaoping, Chairman of the CCP Central Advisory Commission, talked about some ideas on the peaceful reunification of mainland China and Taiwan. He said: The core of the matter is reunification of our motherland. Peaceful reunification has come to be the common language of both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. But it does not mean the mainland swallowing up (Chinese: Chi diao -0676 2220) Taiwan, nor vice versa. It is our hope that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party will work together for national reunification and both contribute to the Chinese nation.

Dismissing the formulation of "complete autonomy" (Chinese: Wan quan zi zhi - 1346 0356 5261 3112) for Taiwan, Deng Xiaoping said autonomy cannot without limits. Since there are limits, it cannot be "complete".
"Complete autonomy" means "two Chinas", not one China. The system on Taiwan may be different from that on the mainland, but only the PRC is entitled to represent China in the international arena, Deng Xiaoping stressed.
"We recognize the Taiwan local government's right to follow its own internal policy", Deng Xiaoping said. "Although a local government, the government in Taiwan, which will be a special administrative region will be different from other provincial, municipal and even autonomous regional governments. It may have some exclusive rights that other provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions do not have, on condition that they do not impair the interests of the unified state.
Deng Xiaoping said that after the country is reunified the Taiwan special administrative region may retain its independent nature and practise a system different from that of the mainland. It may exercise independent jurisdiction and the right of final judgment need not reside in Peking, he said.
"Taiwan may also keep its own armed forces, so long as they do not constitute a threat to the mainland. The mainland will station neither troops nor administrative personnel in Taiwan. The political party, government, and armed forces in Taiwan will all be administered by Taiwan itself. Seats in the central government will be reserved for Taiwan", he added.
Deng Xiaoping pointed out that peaceful reunification does not mean the mainland swallowing up Taiwan, of course, nor vice versa. "Reunifying China with the three people's principles" is unrealistic, he said.
"There should be appropriate measures for achieving reunification", Deng Xiaoping said. "This is why we have proposed talks between the two parties on an equal basis to bring about a third round of co-operation, rather than negotiations between the central and local authorities (Chinese: Suo yi wo men jian yi ju xing liang dang ping deng hui tan, shi xing di san ci he zuo, er bu ti zhong yang yu di fang tan pan - 2076 0110 2053 0226 1696 6231 5282 5887 0357 8093 1627 4583 2585 6151 1395 5887 4574 0005 2945 0678 0155 5079 0008 2251 0022 1135 5280 0966 2455 6151 0445).
"When the two sides have reached agreement (Chinese: Xie yi 0588 6231), it will be officially announced. But foreign interference absolutely will not be permitted, because it would only mean that China has not won complete independence, and there will be no end of trouble for the future."
