London, Feb. 12 (CNA) Opposition Kuomintang (KMT) Chairman Ma Ying-jeou is expected to put forth a "new model" for handling relations between Taiwan and China, hoping that the two will go through confrontation, conciliation and cooperation to reach peaceful co-existence and joint prosperity.
Ma is scheduled to make public his so-called "2-P 3-C" theory in a speech at the prestigious London School of Economics (LSE) Monday.
He said Sunday that cross-Taiwan Strait issues are not limited to commonly seen disputes over sovereignty, but rather cover a wide range of issues including Taiwan's internal problems such as ethnic division, controversy over independence or unification, birth places (at different provinces of China) and economic issues, as well as international issues.
He said his "2-P 3-C" proposal is aimed at solving all of these issues in a bid to form a new model for handling cross-strait relations.
Ma said his "new model" will be more than simply returning to the so-called 1992 consensus, a rough term about an understanding between Taipei and Beijing that they agreed to disagree on the meaning of "one China."
Ma said his party is "going beyond old modes of thinking" in pursuit of new visions for peace and prosperity on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
