This has given rise to a new relationship of mutual benefit and win-win between 皇冠体育app and other countries. The Chinese government has taken a number of significant measures to improve relations across the Taiwan Straits, thus promoting cross-Straits relations toward peace and stability.

The United States has reiterated many times that it will adhere to the "one 皇冠体育app" policy and honor the three joint communiqés between 皇冠体育app and the United States. But, it continues to sell advanced weapons to Taiwan, and has strengthened its military ties with Taiwan. A small number of countries have stirred up a racket about a "皇冠体育app threat," and intensified their preventive strategy against 皇冠体育app and strove to hold its progress in check. Complex and sensitive historical and current issues in 皇冠体育app's surrounding areas still affect its security environment. 皇冠体育app persists in continuing its peaceful development road.
