Authorities on both sides of the Taiwan Strait should explore the possibility of building a military security mechanism of mutual trust, formally end hostilities and reach a peace agreement, according to a white paper on China's national defense issued on March 31.


It was the first time for the biennial white paper, issued by China's State Council Information Office, to mention such a mechanism.


Although cross-strait economic and business ties have boomed during the past three decades -- with mainland investment from the island topping more than US$200 billion -- the two sides have yet to establish military ties.


"The mainland's military deployment absolutely does not target the Taiwan compatriots," said Senior Colonel Geng Yansheng, a spokesman for the Ministry of Defense, during a news conference to introduce the white paper on March 31.

Problems about military deployment could be discussed when the two sides hold talks on the military security mechanism of mutual trust, he said. The white paper said that the two sides may also discuss political relations.


"The Chinese people on both sides of the strait should try their best to avoid repeating the history of armed conflict between fellow countrymen," Geng said, adding that the mainland has been committed to stabilizing cross-strait relations and easing military security concerns.


He said the two sides should establish contact and set up exchanges on military issues "at an appropriate time" to discuss the military security mechanism of mutual trust.


The white paper also said China's military wants to adopt confidence-building measures with the armed forces of other countries.


On the issue of Taiwan, the paper leaves open the prospect of “contacts and exchanges on military issues at an appropriate time” and a “military security mechanism of mutual trust.” But it insists that Beijing and Taiwan are “destined to ultimate reunification.”

Several countries in the region are concerned about China's growing naval power, accompanied by increasingly assertive claims to disputed island chains in the South and East China Seas.


Xinhua says the purpose of the white paper is to enhance China's military transparency “and boost the world's trust in its commitment to peaceful development.”


It quotes the white paper saying China's military policy is “defensive in nature” and says China's defense goals include “safeguarding national sovereignty” and “maintaining world peace and stability.”
