Cross -strait relations are complicated and severe. Why is the mayor of Shanghai and Taipei like "cloud dialogue"?

Yesterday, the 12 -year -old Shanghai boy Xiaoliang signed up for the "Miao Miao Cup" youth Go game. If he can choose through the sea, he will have the opportunity to qualify for the "Shuangcheng Cup" Go game and play with the partners in Taipei in the Internet.

Last year, the "Shuangcheng Cup" was on both sides of the strait. The number of clicks on the game page reached 1.17 million, and the number of likes was nearly 200,000. Both Shanghai and Taipei Sports are looking forward to that this traditional Chinese cultural project can have a greater impact on the framework of the Shanghai Taipei City Forum.

The two sides of the strait are Chinese, and the Shanghai platform is a family. Under the premise of correctly recognizing the nature of Shanghai and Taipei, the Shuangcheng Forum did not stop because of changes in the island's internal affairs bureaus and epidemic conditions, and continued to become one of the most important intercity exchange platforms on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. Tomorrow, the 2022 Shuangcheng Forum arrives, and the mayor of the two cities will talk again. The outside world expects that the forum can enhance the sense of gain of the Shuangcheng people with real results, so that the concept of "cross -strait destiny community" deeply cultivates the people's hearts.

The forum overflowing effect is increasingly apparent

Shanghai and Taiwan Sports Exchange is far more than a Go game: Before the epidemic, Taiwanese athletes will come to Shanghai to conduct training by Shanghai coaches; Shanghai and Taipei agreed groups to participate in the marathon of the opponent's city; each year, the "Straits Cup" basketball invitations will be held ... Under the mechanism of Shuangcheng Forum, the sports exchanges between the two cities are booming.

This is just a small part of the Shanghai platform. Shortly after the 2010 Shuangcheng Forum was held, Shanghai Hongqiao Airport achieved direct flight with Taipei Songshan Airport to form a one -day life circle of Shanghai platform. After that, the exchanges and cooperation between the two cities entered the "fast lane", and so far, 39 exchanges and cooperation memorandums have been signed. In the past ten years, Taipei's long -term model, garbage treatment, medical health insurance, and cultural and creative parks have become examples of Shanghai learning; Shanghai's lighting engineering, infrastructure projects, transportation development, and sports education have also benefited Taipei a lot.

"The issues that have been discussed in the Shuangcheng Forum cover almost all areas of the development of big cities." In the view of Wang Hailiang, director of the Shanghai East Asian Research Institute, this kind of close communication, mutual learning, and interoperability attitude and performance are The integration of cross -strait integration has established demonstration cases.

More importantly, the Shuangcheng Forum has never been sitting on the way, and its overflowing effect is increasingly emerging. Tan Yizhong, general manager of Taida Group Zhongda Group, still remembers that during the 2018 Taipei Shanghai Urban Forum, Shanghai Mayor representatives said when visiting the Taipei Enterprise Headquarters that the majority of Taiwanese businessmen and enterprises came to Shanghai to develop. Establish a headquarters in mainland China and expand new production bases outward. We are full of confidence in the future development of Shanghai. "

Luo Wenhua, deputy director of the Shanghai Sports Bureau, introduced that when Shanghai built Binjiang Road, it referenced to the practice of the construction of the Binjiang Sports Belt in Taipei. For example, sports facilities should be combined with leisure facilities. When designing, it is necessary to consider beautifying the environment and practical value.

Even during the epidemic period, the results of the exchanges of Shuangcheng are playing a role. The Taipei Big Data Center plays an important role in the prevention and control of the epidemic. This stems from the time when Taipei Mayor Ke Wenzhe came to Shanghai to participate in the Shuangcheng Forum in 2019, and visited the Pudong New District Urban Operational Management Center. At that time, he said that the urban construction and refined management of Shanghai inspired them, and after returning, they began to build Taipei Big Data Center.

"Continuous reference, constantly complement each other." Some scholars admit that this is the charm of the Shuangcheng Forum.

Find space and power for future cooperation

Shanghai and Taipei, the distance between the line is 700 kilometers. Even if people's contact is inconvenient today, the Bay Strait has never continued from Shanghai and Taiwan.

The change of communication, the unchanged is the original intention of communication. Online, multiple districts in Shanghai use the video connection through the video, with the theme of the Lunar New Year, Mid -Autumn Festival, Chongyang Festival, and community epidemic prevention to maintain communication and interaction with Taipei. Actively care about living in Shanghai and Taiwan compatriots, and assisted Taiwan enterprises and Taiwan businessmen to resume production in the second quarter of this year.

Shanghai's sincerity also received a positive response from Taiwan compatriots. Li Zhenghong, president of the National Taiwan Enterprise Federation, was very emotional. Since the epidemic, Taiwanese friends have adhered to the front line, participated in urban operation and maintenance, and put on the protective clothing as the "big white" of the community, reflecting the affectionate friendship of the joint war of the Shanghai platform.

"Don't deliberately distinguish between Taiwanese and mainlanders. We are all family members." Zhang Jianzhen, president of the Shanghai Taiwan Association, called on all Taiwan compatriots to work together in Shanghai. Data show that as of the end of May this year, Shanghai has registered a total of 17,000 Taiwan -funded enterprises, with a cumulative contract of 45.1 billion US dollars. Zhang Jianzhen is looking forward to finding business opportunities in the discussion of tomorrow's forum.

Some observers bluntly stated that in the past few years, the theme of the Shuangcheng Forum in the past few years, whether it is the theme "Innovation, Cooperation, Future" in 2019, the theme "Urban Epidemic Prevention and Smart Economy" in 2020, or last year's theme "New Economy and New Development" These topics can be enthusiastically discussed and reached many consensus. In a sense, they are also looking for new space and motivation for cooperation between the two cities and even the two sides of the strait. The outside world also looks forward to that this forum can wipe out more wisdom sparks under the discussion of energy -saving and carbon reduction experience under the theme of "Sustainable Humanities".

"At the moment when cross -strait relations are complicated and severe, the Shuangcheng Forum can be held as appointments to give people more hope for people who support peace and look forward to cross -strait exchanges." Sheng Jiuyuan, director of the Taiwan Research Center of Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, said that as long as he adheres to common development and ShuangchengAt the beginning of a win -win situation, the forum will definitely produce more targeted and forward -looking results, provide greater motivation for the development of the two cities, and better enhance the affection and well -being of compatriots in the two cities.Liberation Daily · Shangguan News Original manuscript, reprinting without permission
