(Central News Agency reporter Lu Jia-rong, Beijing, 15th) Following the conclusion of the KMT-CCP "Zheng-Xi Meeting," American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) Director Raymond Greene stated on the 11th that he hopes Beijing can maintain communication channels with all political parties in Taiwan, especially the elected government. China's Taiwan Affairs Office responded today, reiterating its adherence to the "1992 Consensus" and opposition to Taiwan independence, stating that there are no obstacles to exchanges between any Taiwanese political party or group and the mainland.
During the Zheng-Xi Meeting held on the 10th between KMT Chairman Cheng Li-wen and CCP General Secretary Xi Jinping, both expressed their adherence to the "1992 Consensus" and opposition to Taiwan independence.
At a regular press conference held by China's Taiwan Affairs Office today, a reporter asked about Greene's remarks regarding Cheng Li-wen's visit to the mainland. Greene had stated that the US's consistent position is to hope for stable cross-strait exchanges, and expects the mainland to maintain communication channels with all political parties in Taiwan, especially the elected government, and further hopes the mainland will abandon its threats or military pressure against Taiwan.
Chen Binhua, spokesperson for China's Taiwan Affairs Office, stated today, "Both sides of the strait belong to one China." He added that as long as the "1992 Consensus" is recognized and Taiwan independence is opposed, there will be no obstacles to exchanges between any Taiwanese political party or group and the mainland.
He then criticized the US for constantly "hyping up" the mainland's threats or military pressure, calling it "a complete distortion of facts with malicious intent." He emphasized, "The Taiwan issue is China's internal affair and brooks no foreign interference." The US should abide by the One China principle and the three Sino-US joint communiqués, and handle the Taiwan issue with utmost caution. (Editor: Zhu Jian-ling) 1150415
