China blames Taiwan for cross-strait communication halt / 兩岸關係陷僵局 中方批責任在台灣

Cross-strait communication has ground to a halt since Tsai's inauguration. China's Taiwan Affairs Office claimed that Taiwan is responsible. Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council stated that Taiwan is open to communication. While cross-strait relations are cold, the director of AIT Kin W. Moy emphasized that current US- Taiwan relations are in the best situation ever. On the National Day cocktail party held by the American Institute in Taiwan, President Tsai Ing-wen served as a special guest and showed up in a very special way. ==TSAI IN-WEN, President of Taiwan== US-Taiwan relations. Excellent! Director of AIT Kin W. Moy even used Chinese to express that the current US-Taiwan relations are in their best situation ever. ==KIN W. MOY, Director of AIT== This is the best time to develop US-Taiwan relations. We have formed a steady relationship with both former president Ma Ying-jeou and the Tsai government. Contrary to the steady Taiwan-US relations, cross-strait communication has ground to a halt since Tsai's inauguration. China claimed that Taiwan is responsible for it. ==AN FENGSHAN, Spokesman of Taiwan Affairs Office== Taiwan's new government has not acknowledged the 1992 consensus. This is shaking the political foundations of cross-strait interaction. Cross-strait communication between Taiwan Affairs Office and Mainland Affairs Council has ground to a halt. Also, negotiations between Association for Relations across the Taiwan Straits and Straits Exchange Foundation have stopped. Taiwan is responsible for this situation. China's Taiwan Affairs Office emphasized that cross-strait communication and negotiations are both based on the 1992 consensus. Without acknowledging it, the communication platform will collapse. Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council stated that Taiwan is open to communication. Both sides should resolve conflicting opinions through communication. TRANSLATED BY：ARIEL HSIEH 美國在台協會國慶酒會上，充滿濃厚的西部風情，特別嘉賓是正在出訪的總統蔡英文，以特殊的方式「現身」。 ==總統 蔡英文== 台美關係 讚 向來以英文演說的AIT台北辦事處長梅健華，還特別用中文表示，台美關係是有史以來最好的時刻。 ==AIT台北辦事處長 梅建華== 現在也是有史以來 發展美台關係 最好的時刻 我們和前任的馬總統 以及第三次和平政黨輪替 之後蔡總統政府都 建立起扎實的關係 台美關係扎實，不過在美中台大三角關係中，兩岸在新政府上任之後，聯繫機制中斷，中國大陸國台辦將矛頭指向台灣。 ==國台辦發言人 安峰山== 台灣新執政當局 迄今沒有承認九二共識 認同其核心意涵 動搖了兩岸互動的政治基礎 導致了國台辦與陸委會的 聯繫溝通機制 海協會與海基會的協商 談判機制的停擺 責任完全在台灣一方 國台辦強調，兩岸協商談判、建立常態化溝通機制都是建立在九二共識的基礎之上，如果沒有九二共識，這個機制就會塌下來，而陸委會第一時間強調，台灣協商與溝通的大門始終敞開，應該相互釋放善意，透過溝通化解分歧。 記者 林欣儀 彭耀祖 台北報導
