The "Hope Project" has been completed for 23 years, and people are deeply encouraged.
According to media reports in Taiwan Province Province, the mainland's entry into and exit from Kinmen was positioned as a "hope project" by the Kinmen county government. From Jinjiang, the mainland, to Pu Tian, Jinmen, through a submarine pipeline with a length of 16 km. The water supply contract between the two parties is 30 years, and the design scale of the water supply system is 34,000 tons/day, which can be expanded to 55,000 tons/day in the future.
The boiling ceremony was held at 9 am on the 5th. Chen Fuhai, the county magistrate of Jinmen, said excitedly, "It's really hard! People who have worked together and contributed together for 23 years are very hard! "
Chen Fuhai emphasized that "water supply, electricity supply, bridge connection" and "new three links" will be one of the prerequisites for the stable development of Jinmen in the future, and it will move towards the sub-regional economic cooperation mode of Zhang Quan Jinsha and become the first demonstration area of cross-strait peace policy.
Yang Zhenyu, a legislator from Kinmen, mentioned that safeguarding people's livelihood should be the top priority. After more than 20 years of hard work, the mainland's entry into Kinmen proves that as long as it is right, it will be beneficial to people's livelihood and will unite the consensus of the whole people.
10, Chen Fuhai and Jinjiang in mainland China started the water release button simultaneously, and a strong water column suddenly appeared at the main site.
Cai, an 85-year-old lady from Kinmen, said happily, "Peace is great!" An old man choked and said, "I have waited for more than 20 years and finally waited for this day!" Cai Jinyi, a Xiamen tourist whose family came to Kinmen to play, also said: "The two sides of the strait are originally a family, and peace is a matter of course!"
It is hard to get access to water in Jinmen, and the "combination" between the two sides is inseparable.
The media in Taiwan Province Province pointed out that, from the innate conditions, it is difficult to build a reservoir due to less rainfall in the outlying islands of Jinmen, and the water quality is poor and the price is high. Water diversion from the mainland is not only better in water quality, but also lower in cost, which is beneficial to Jinmen people and even local finance.
As early as 1995 and 65438+February, the water supply and power supply projects in Dadeng, Xiaodeng and Jiaoyu Islands in Fujian Province, not far from Kinmen, were completely completed, leaving two ports ready to reach Kinmen one day, and the mainland also expressed its willingness to supply water to Kinmen. However, after several twists and turns in cross-strait relations, it was not until June 20 13 that the water was smoothly connected. ARATS and SEF of Taiwan Province Province finally reached a consensus on the mainland's water supply to Kinmen.
With the cross-strait opening, intermarriage and friendship, the water shortage in Kinmen has also gone through the stages of communication, technical docking, negotiation and construction. It is not easy to complete cross-strait water supply after 23 years.
The Hong Kong media commented on this matter, saying that the two sides of the strait share the same roots, the same clan and the same origin, and are of one mind and one mind? M, the history and reality of love cannot be changed. At the same time, for the mainland, the determination and policies for the well-being of compatriots on both sides of the strait will not change, and the established policy of adhering to cross-strait peaceful development will not change.
Taiwan Province scholar Zhang Yazhong believes that the opening of Kinmen reflects the indivisibility of cross-strait relations. The geographical interdependence between the two sides of the strait cannot be cut by any political force. "A family on both sides of the strait" is the core consideration for the mainland to supply water to Jinmen.
It can be seen from the cross-strait water supply that it is impossible for the Democratic Progressive Party government to conduct cross-strait discussions centered on "retaining the enemy" for more than two years. There is a simple reason. It violates the inevitability of the inseparable geo-economic development between the two sides of the strait, and has no positive significance except reducing the competitiveness of Taiwan Province Province and making people inconvenient.
