Looking at the 30 Years of Reform and Opening-up from the Exchange with Taiwan

Jin xinzheng city Taiwan Work Office

According to 1992 Xinzheng County Records, "Taiwan Province Provincial Work Leading Group Office was established in 1978, and by 1986, seven people from Taiwan Province Province went back to the county to visit relatives."

During the eight years from 1978 to 1986, the Taiwan Affairs Office of Xinzheng County received seven people returning from Taiwan Province Province to visit relatives. When I saw the number 7, I could hardly believe my eyes. Later, I dug up the information signed for many years and went to the Municipal Archives Bureau to verify it. Yes, this number 7 is accurate. Eight years after seeing the Taiwan Affairs Office of Xinzheng, I set this figure as today.

Taiwan work is the window of Xinzheng, and personnel exchange is the way of communication. Xinzheng's foreign exchanges and exchanges with Taiwan took place after 1990. At that time, only 1-2 Taiwan compatriots returned home every year, and it was difficult to see a so-called entrepreneur for several years. Li Zhongxiang, the old minister of the United Front, recalled that in the early 1990s, many departments didn't own cars or rent them on the street. A better walking tool is a tricycle. 1990, a Taiwan compatriot returned to his hometown in Xinzheng from Taiwan Province. At that time, Zhengzhou Airport was in Zhuang Yan, and he rushed to Xinzheng from Zhengzhou. The main leaders of the United Front Work Department quickly reported to Zhang Haiqin, then secretary of the county party committee. Minister Li recalled: "Secretary Zhang, our Taiwan Province compatriots arrived in our county today, and I have arranged for someone to receive them at Zhenghan Hotel (the best hotel at that time). Tomorrow, Taiwan Province compatriots will return to their hometown of Kannonji. I have arranged the latest motorized tricycle in Jixian County to take Taiwan compatriots home. In order to ensure foolproof, steam cars will be arranged to follow them to ensure that Taiwan Province compatriots can go home smoothly. "

There were few exchange activities with Taiwan Province in 1980s, and there were many reasons, including policy reasons and people's psychological factors. In the final analysis, it is the result of behind closed doors. In the 1990s, Taiwan Province witnessed new development. Many people visited relatives, tourists came, and investors began to settle in, but only in small areas and small batches. After 2000, Xinzheng began to hold ancestor worship activities. Every year, Taiwan Province compatriots come to worship their ancestors for sightseeing, and Taiwanese businessmen come to inspect and invest. Every year, new Taiwan-funded enterprises land. At present, there are nearly 20 Taiwan-funded enterprises in Xinzheng, with a total investment of 654.38 billion yuan and 3,000 employees. In addition to Taiwan-funded enterprises in Chengguan, Baqian Township, Hezhuang, Xue Dian, Longhu and Xincun, Xinzheng also has a new Taiwanese investment zone. The establishment of Taiwanese investment zone reflects the new situation of Xinzheng's work towards Taiwan.

Xinzheng Taiwanese Investment Zone is a characteristic park carefully built by Xinzheng, located in Xinzheng Port Area, with a regional control area of 50 square kilometers. It consists of an enterprise center, a business service area, a logistics area and a science and technology entrepreneurship center. It is a comprehensive economic park integrating processing, commerce, scientific research and logistics, which provides fertile ground for the development of Taiwanese businessmen in the Central Plains and conforms to the commercial interests of Taiwanese investment. It is precisely because of the establishment of Taiwanese investment zone that xinzheng city became "National Future 655" in 2005.

Taiwan Province Uni-President Group is the largest food producer in Taiwan Province Province and one of the Taiwanese enterprises that have invested the most in Chinese mainland so far. At present, it has entered the top ten brands of mainland food. In 2003, Uni-President Group settled in Xinzheng, which not only effectively promoted the development of food, packaging, printing and other businesses, but also triggered a chain reaction of Taiwanese enterprises investing in Xinzheng. At present, many Taiwan-funded enterprises, such as Taiwan Province Wang You Group, Taiwan Province Dingli Group and Linzheng Group, have invested in Xinzheng, initially forming a Taiwan-funded enterprise cluster with a certain scale.

The huge investment of Taiwanese businessmen is the result of working exchanges with Taiwan Province. In the 1980s, the county received less than one Taiwan compatriot every year, not to mention Taiwanese businessmen. Since 2000, the city's reception to Taiwan has developed by leaps and bounds, especially after the 18th World Hakka Family Congress in 2004, thousands of Taiwan Province compatriots come to Xinzheng to worship their ancestors every year, and hundreds of Taiwanese businessmen in the city are also received and inspected every year. For example, in April, 2002, 157 Taiwanese businessmen visited the enterprise, in July, 2003, agricultural experts from Taiwan Province Province visited the sand hill and wasteland management, and in June, 2006.

With more Taiwanese compatriots coming back, more Taiwanese businessmen investing, and girls marrying people from Taiwan Province Province, more people naturally go to Taiwan Province. In 2006, Gao, director of the Standing Committee of the Municipal People's Congress, and Deputy Director of the Municipal Overseas Chinese Affairs Office, cordially met with Jiu, then chairman of the Kuomintang, while attending the 2 1 World Guest Meeting in Taiwan, which was the highest courtesy for Xinzheng people who went to Taiwan.

The charm of Taiwan Province Treasure Island remains the same, and the open Xinzheng is full of vitality. Looking at the cross-strait exchanges and exchanges since the establishment of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council for 30 years, and looking at the rich connotation of Taiwan Province affairs today, it shows the people of Taiwan Province Province a civilized and open Xinzheng with a glorious history.
