BEIJING, Sept. 10 (Xinhua) — Chen Binhua, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said on Wednesday that cross-Ship consultations and dialogue should naturally be conducted on the basis of the one-China principle, since the mainland and Taiwan belong to one China, and Taiwan is part of China.

At a regular press conference, Chen Binhua commented on the statements of Taiwanese President Lai Qingde, who said that dialogue between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait should be conducted “on equal terms.” As the official representative recalled, from 2008 to 2016, cross-strait talks were resumed based on the 1992 consensus reflecting the one-China principle, resulting in a number of agreements and understandings.

However, after the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) came to power in 2016, its leadership refused to recognize the 1992 consensus, leading to the cessation of interaction and consultation between the two banks, Chen Binhua noted.

He stressed that cross-shore consultations and negotiations can only be resumed if the DPP administration returns to the one-China principle and the 1992 consensus and stops separatist activities to achieve "Taiwan independence." Otherwise, such talk will be empty words.

The future of Taiwan and the well-being of Taiwanese compatriots depend on the peaceful development of cross-strait relations and the reunification of the motherland, Chen Binhua concluded. –0–
