Deng Xiaoping expressed the hope that the Taiwan authorities would discard their misgivings by making a careful study of the "nine-point proposals" advanced by Ye Jianying, then the Chairman of the NPC Standing Committee, in September 1981, and the opening speech made by Deng Yingchao at the first session of the sixth National Committee of the CPPCC.
Deng Xiaoping spoke highly of the forum on the prospects of China's reunification that Dr Yang held in San Francisco last March. "You did a very good thing", he said to Dr Yang.
Deng Xiaoping said, "We are to accomplish the cause left unaccomplished by our predecessors. If the Chiangs and all those who have devoted themselves to the cause of reunifying China can accomplish this cause, they will find themselves better recorded in history."
"Of course", Deng continued, "It will take time to achieve the peaceful reunification. But it is not true to say that no one is anxious about this. People like us in old age hope that our national reunification will be realized at an earlier date.'
Deng suggested that the two sides make more contacts in order to understand each other better. "We are ready to send our people to Taiwan at any time, and it is okay just to have a look and no talks. They are also welcome to send people here. We will guarantee their safety and keep the secret. We mean what we say. We play no tricks", he said.
Deng Xiaoping said, "We have obtained genuine stability and unity. Our principle for the peaceful reunification of our motherland was formulated after the Third Plenum of the 11th Central Committee of the Communist Party. The relevant policies have been gradually completed afterwards and we will stick to them."
Referring to the Sino-US relations, Deng Xiaoping said that they have been improved somewhat recently. But, he said, people in power in the US have never given up "two Chinas" or "one China and a half". The USA has lauded its system to the skies. But a President says one thing during the campaign, another when he takes office, another during the mid-term election, and still another near the next general election. The USA has also said that China's policies are unstable, "But our policies are far more stable than those of the USA”, he concluded.
In an interview with Kyodo on 29th July, transmitted by Kyodo (in English 1121 gmt 29 Jul 83), Vice-Premier Yao Yilin said that after unification, Taiwan would be able to maintain “a certain degree of diplomatic and military authority” and there would be no change in its capitalist economic structure. “Asked if Taiwan would keep the right to buy arms from other countries, Yao said Deng has made a remark authorizing Taiwan to buy foreign weaponry."]
