The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) yesterday passed a resolution rejecting the “one country, two

systems” framework that Beijing has proposed for Taiwan, as well as to streamline the government’s collaboration with the public, ensure equity when pushing for economic and social transformation, and deepen ties with nations that value democracy and human rights.

The DPP held its national congress at the Grand Hotel in Taipei, where party members also celebrated its 33rd anniversary and prepared for next year’s presidential and legislative elections.
