Facts in the development of cross-Straits relations have repeatedly demonstrated that the 1992 Consensus serves as the anchor for peace and stability in the Taiwan Straits, stated a spokesperson for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office on Wednesday, in response to false claims by the island's Mainland Affairs Council that mainstream public opinion in Taiwan opposes the 1992 Consensus and does not accept the mainland's preset political preconditions for cross-Straits dialogue and consultation.
The question is raised following the election of Cheng Li-wun as chairperson of the Kuomintang (KMT) party in the island of Taiwan. The mainland expressed its willingness to promote relations with the KMT and advance cross-Straits relations on the common political foundation of adhering to the 1992 Consensus and opposing "Taiwan independence."
The spokesperson Zhu Fenglian said that upholding the 1992 Consensus ensures peace across the Straits and benefits compatriots in the island of Taiwan. The DPP authorities stubbornly cling to their separatist stance on "Taiwan independence," deny the 1992 Consensus, and undermine the development of cross-Straits relations. By standing against the mainstream public opinion in Taiwan, they will inevitably be spurned by the people, according to the mainland spokesperson.
