China squarely” and “respect mainstream opinion in Taiwan.”
The MAC was responding to Beijing’s insistence on its version of the “one China” principle following a meeting between Communist Party of China General Secretary Xi Jinping (習近平) and opposition Kuomintang Chairwoman Hung Hsiu-chu (洪秀柱).
According to China’s Xinhua news agency, Xi told Hung that the core value of the “1992 consensus” is the “one China” principle, which means both Taiwan and China belong to “one China.”
Any change of government in Taiwan will not change the fundamental fact of the “1992 consensus” or its core meaning, Xi was quoted as saying. [FULL STORY]
