This day, 4 March, in 1983, when Deng Xiaoping met with a delegation of the US House of Representatives visiting China, he explained China’s policy on the Taiwan issue to US House Speaker Tip O’Neill, and made it clear, saying, “We no longer have the term ‘to liberate Taiwan’, and as long as Taiwan returns to the motherland, we will respect the reality there and the current system”.
1983年3月4日的这一天，邓小平会见了美国众议院访问中国的代表团，他向美国众议院议长蒂普·奥尼尔解释了中国在台湾问题上的政策，并明确表示：“我们不再有’解放台湾’这个术语，只要台湾回归祖国，我们就会尊重那里的现实和现行制度。”
