HUNG-XI MEETING REFERENCES 1992 CONSENSUS, ANTI-INDEPENDENCE|洪習會登場 習近平強調九二共識.反台獨

Recently General Secretary of the Communist Party of China, Xi Jinping was named a 'core leader' at the Communist Party Central Committee Meeting on Oct. 27, consolidating his power and authority further. Xi referenced the 1992 consensus three times in the meeting with Hung and twice referenced his opposition to Taiwan independence. He said that in hindsight the importance of the two-party talks would be obvious. Hung reiterated the 1992 consensus and principle of 'striving for the commonalities of the 'one China' principle while preserving the differences of meaning within it', to promote systematic cross-strait negotiations. Hung also referenced peace negotiations to explore the possibility of using a peace agreement to replace the hostility between the two sides. Yesterday KMT Chair Hung Hsiu-chu and Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping commenced the two-party talks with handshakes and smiles in Beijing. This is the first meeting since the change of administration in Taiwan. Xi lead Central Committee Policy Research Center director Wang Huning, General Office of the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) Central Committee director Li Zhanshu and deputy director Ding Xuexiang, Taiwan Affairs Office Minister Zhang Zhijun and Vice Minister Chen Yuanfeng, and Chinese State Councilor Yang Jiechi. Hung lead a team including KMT Vice Chairs Steve Chan, Jason Hu and other KMT officials. In his opening remarks before the actual closed door meeting, Xi referenced the 1992 consensus three times, and twice reiterated his opposition to Taiwan independence. ==XI JINPING General Secretary of the Communist Party of China== ...promote adherence to the 1992 consensus to oppose Taiwan independence bring common understanding between the two parties seeking stability in the Taiwan Strait to reveal a new direction of peaceful development in cross-strait relations and ensure that national territory does not divide to safeguard the interests of the Chinese nation, this is the common will of all Chinese. Xi said that the two parties had made contributions to peace across the strait since 2005 and had increased the frequency of discussion with Taiwan. They did not touch on political issues, but were more concerned with the common fate of the two sides, closely following the Chinese people's democratic revival and common will, as an irresistible historic trend. In her address, Hung stressed that the Kuomintang wanted to use the peace platform to oppose Taiwan independence. She referenced the political basis of the 1992 consensus as 'striving for the commonalities of the 'one China' principle while preserving the differences of meaning within it.' ==HUNG HSIU-CHU Kuomintang Chair == The 1992 consensus and adhering to the principle of one China, while preserving the differences of meaning within it, and maintaining the political basis for cross-strait mutual trust and a political platform for peace and against Taiwan independence for the benefit of the people, to explore a peace agreement with the possibility of ending hostility between the two sides. Hung also said that currently there was an impasse in official communication channels between the two sides, thus the Kuomintang is duty-bound to assist the people, through the communication mechanism between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, to solve the problem. During the meeting, Hung used a new technical interpretation to reference the 'one China, different interpretations'. She also brought out the concept of a peace agreement to resolve doubts, but it remains to be seen how committed the KMT itself is to this.
