The Panchen Lama said he felt "a mission of our time" -- that is to be patriotic, to love religion, and contribute efforts to the Chinese nation's rejuvenation and the well-being of humankind.

Jiang Liping, on behalf of the Central Committee of the Taiwan Democratic Self-Government League, called on Taiwan authorities to acknowledge the 1992 Consensus and conduct consultation and cooperation with the Chinese mainland under the one-China framework.

Jiang said that the Chinese people take a clear-cut and unwavering stand when it comes to major issues concerning national reunification and lasting development. "There will not be any compromise or sway."

The league is one of the eight non-Communist parties in the Chinese mainland. It consists of Taiwan natives living in the mainland and was founded in 1947. It has more than 2,700 registered members.

Jiang praised the Chinese mainland's favorable policies, which have helped Taiwanese youth in studying and accomplishing better development in the mainland. However, cross-Straits youth exchanges have been impaired since Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party administration refused to recognize the 1992 Consensus.

Gao Youdong called for efforts to improve intellectual property protection through better legislation and create a credit system under which infringement acts will be recorded.
