Senior Chinese leaders participated in deliberations at the fourth session of the 14th National People's Congress (NPC) on March 7, 2026, underscoring efforts to navigate cross-strait relations amid regional complexities. Wang Huning, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, joined discussions with NPC deputies from the Taiwan delegation, reaffirming commitments to peaceful development and national reunification.
Wang highlighted the challenges posed by recent tensions in the Taiwan Strait, stating that authorities have prioritized stabilizing cross-strait ties over the past year. He urged intensified opposition to what he termed 'Taiwan independence' separatist activities and external interference, while advocating for enhanced dialogue to foster mutual understanding between residents across the strait.
The deliberations align with broader policy discussions at this year's NPC session, which focuses on economic resilience, regional security, and social governance. Analysts note that cross-strait relations remain a cornerstone of China's strategic priorities as regional dynamics evolve.
