On September 30, 1981, Ye Jianying, chairman of the NPC Standing Committee, in an interview with Xinhua News Agency, elaborated on nine principles concerning Taiwan's return to the motherland and the realization of peaceful reunification. These were later called "Ye's Nine Principles," which can be summarized into the following:
(1) The negotiations between the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the Kuomintang should be held on a reciprocal basis to initiate the third cooperation between the two parties.
(2) Direct air and shipping service, mail, and trade links should be established (this was later called the Three Links). The residents of both sides should be allowed to visit their relatives and travel across the strait. Academic, cultural and sports exchanges should be promoted.
(3) After the nation is reunified, Taiwan, as a special administrative region, will enjoy a high level of autonomy. The army on the island is sustained. The social and economic systems of Taiwan, the people's way of life, and the region's economic and cultural ties with foreign countries will also remain unchanged. Private property, house, land, ownership of enterprises, legal right of inheritance and foreign investment will not be violated.
(4) After reunification, the Taiwan authorities and representatives from various circles of the island can take leading positions in national political institutions and participate in state administration.
Ye's nine principles further developed the CPC and the Chinese government's Taiwan policy in the new era. On January 11, 1982, Deng Xiaoping pointed out in his talk that the nine principles put forward by Ye Jianying could actually be summed up as a policy of "One country, two systems." This was the first time that Deng Xiaoping presented this concept.
