illegal, curb extremism, resist infiltration, and crack down on crime, and actively guide religion

uniting the majority of Taiwan compatriots, and firmly support the patriotic unification forces

main line of the party's ethnic work is to forge a sense of community of the Chinese nation.
The sense of community of the Chinese nation is the foundation of national unity"; The political
foundation of the 1992 Consensus is to broadly unite Taiwan compatriots at home and abroad,
steadily advance the work against "independence" and promote reunification and build a
foundation of public opinion for supporting and pursuing national reunification; Overseas
