(KMT) headquarters in Taipei against a trip to Beijing by a pan-blue delegation, while KMT members staged a counter-protest.
A delegation of six KMT and two independent officials on Sunday met with Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference Chairman Yu Zhengsheng (俞正聲) and Taiwan Affairs Office Minister Zhang Zhijun (張志軍) in Beijing.
They discussed tourism policy and trade in agricultural products — and the visitors and their hosts reaffirmed the so-called “1992 consensus,” which refers to a supposed understanding reached during talks in 1992 that Taiwan and China acknowledge that there is “one China,” with each side having its own interpretation of what that means.
Former KMT lawmaker Su Chi (蘇起) in 2006 said that he had made up the term in 2000 when he was head of the Mainland Affairs Council. [FULL STORY]
