Politics
The CPA intends to reform the government system, reform and opening up, guarantee the people's freedom and social welfare, actively develop various economic construction, create an affluent life for the whole people; promote political party cooperation, promote cross-strait peace and development, and build Taiwan as its purpose.
The CPA said that the ruling parties must abandon the ideology of the individual or the party itself in thinking about cross-strait relations, and seek the people's well-being and public opinion as the highest principle of decision-making. It is a government responsible for the people. The two sides of the strait should have more exchanges and interactions outside of political issues. At the same time, the Chinese mainland should respect and accept Taiwan's public opinion and work together for cross-strait peace.[6]
