members to abide by the principle of the “1992 consensus” when attending a cross-Taiwan Strait forum early next month.

It said the party should insist on the “1992 consensus” principle of “one China, different interpretations” when it attends the forum to underscore the party’s edge in handling cross-strait issues.
“Normal exchanges between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait are necessary, but one should not lose sight of the basic stance,” it said. [FULL STORY]
