Taiwan Democratic Self-Government League convenes plenary session

BEIJING, Dec. 6 -- Taiwan Democratic Self-Government League held a plenary session Tuesday in Beijing, reviewing its work in 2016 and discussing a plan for a national congress next year.

Taiwan Democratic Self-Government 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.

Lin Wenyi, chairwoman of the party's central committee, said in a work report that the league had played its role in promoting people-to-people exchanges across the Taiwan Strait over the past year.

The league will stay true to its mission to cooperate with the Communist Party of China (CPC) in pursuing the peaceful reunification of the Chinese nation and realizing the Chinese dream of national rejuvenation, Lin said.

Under China's multi-party cooperation system, the CPC and non-communist parties work together and supervise one another.
