Zheng Jianbang, vice-chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and president of China Sun Yat-sen Cultural Exchange Association, extended greetings to compatriots in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan and overseas Chinese on behalf of the association, as Spring Festival will start soon. 

Zheng, also executive vice-chairman of the Central Committee of the Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang, said China made great achievements in 2021 despite major changes unfolding in the world and the global COVID-19 pandemic. 

He said that over the past year, the association has firmly upheld the one-China principle and the 1992 Consensus, resolutely opposed separatist activities seeking "Taiwan independence", and actively promoted cross-Straits exchanges and cooperation. 

In the new year, the association will continue to pool wisdom and strength from all the sons and daughters of the Chinese nation both at home and abroad in support of the nation's complete reunification and rejuvenation, Zheng said.
