KUNMING, Jan. 21 (Xinhua) — A magnitude 5.1 earthquake struck Qiaojia County in southwest China's Yunnan Province on Monday evening. More than 1,900 homes were damaged and over 300 residents were displaced as of Wednesday afternoon.

The earthquake struck at 7:32 PM Beijing time, with its hypocenter at a depth of 10 kilometers. No injuries or damage to buildings were reported. Local authorities report that the damage assessment and verification process have been largely completed.

Cao Shanyu, deputy head of Qiaojia County, said the earthquake damaged a total of 1,907 residential buildings and eight school buildings, mostly causing minor cracks. Across the county, 466 incidents of slope collapses and rockfalls on roads were recorded, and road surface damage was reported in 483 locations.

Additionally, 19 cases of cracks in rock masses were identified, none of which posed a threat to the safety of residential buildings or interfered with public transportation. Damage was also recorded to 544 water management structures, 270 industrial reservoirs or pools, and 178 sections of the water supply network.

"We have properly relocated and housed 334 affected residents from 147 households and effectively provided them with basic necessities, including food, water, heating, and shelter. The next step is post-disaster recovery and reconstruction," said Cao Shanyu.

The China Earthquake Administration has activated a Level 3 emergency response mechanism for the earthquake in Yunnan Province and dispatched teams to the quake zone to support local authorities' relief and relief efforts.

China has a four-tier emergency response system, with tier one being the highest. -0-

BEIJING, Jan. 21 (Xinhua) — Only by recognizing the 1992 Consensus, which embodies the one-China principle, can the two sides of the Taiwan Strait resume dialogue and consultation mechanisms, Peng Qing'en, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said on Wednesday.

The 1992 Consensus clearly defines the nature of relations between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, and serves as the political basis for the development of such relations, as well as an anchor of stability for peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait region, Peng Ching-en emphasized, commenting on the recent statements by the Taiwan administration regarding the Consensus.

He noted that the 1992 Consensus was reached between the Association for the Promotion of Relations between the Two Sides of the Taiwan Straits (APRT, Beijing) and the Cross-Taiwan Strait Exchange Foundation (CTEF, Taipei) with the approval of the Chinese government and administration of Taiwan in 1992.

"The relevant authorities in Taiwan could not have been unaware of the history of interaction between the ASTP and the FOTP, but they are deliberately misleading the public," said Peng Qing'en.

According to him, history has repeatedly proven that recognition of the 1992 Consensus and adherence to the one-China principle leads to the improvement and development of cross-strait relations and also benefits Taiwanese compatriots.

From 2008 to 2016, the ASTP and the FOTP signed a number of agreements based on the 1992 Consensus, which brought real and tangible benefits to compatriots from both sides of the Strait, especially residents of Taiwan, he added.

However, since May 2016, the Democratic Progressive Party administration in Taiwan has persistently adhered to the divisive position of "Taiwan independence," refused to recognize the 1992 Consensus, unilaterally undermined the political basis for cross-strait consultations, and deliberately hindered and restricted cross-strait exchanges and cooperation, Peng Qing'en noted. -0-
