Why did the Cross-Strait hotline stop? Taiwan Affairs Office: Taiwan side knows how to pretend to be confused (picture)

BEIJING, April 12 (Xinhua) — Taiwan’s Land Commission said that the shutdown of the cross-Strait hotline was due to the unwillingness and one-sided non-communication of the mainland. An Fengshan, spokesman of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, pointed out today that this statement in Taiwan was a typical question of knowing and knowing, “Pretend to be confused with understanding”.

At today’s press conference, a reporter asked the spokesman: the relevant person in charge of the Taiwan Land Commission said a few days ago that the shutdown of the cross-Strait hotline was because the mainland had no intention and did not communicate unilaterally. What comments did the spokesman have on this?



An Fengshan pointed out that the “1992 consensus” which embodies the one-China principle is the common political basis for the peaceful development of cross-Strait relations, adhering to the “1992 consensus” is an important foundation for the establishment of the communication mechanism between the competent departments of cross-Strait affairs of both sides, and it is also a necessary condition for the normal operation of this mechanism.

An Fengshan said that as we all know, since May 20, 2016, because Taiwan’s ruling authorities did not recognize the “1992 consensus” and did not agree that both sides of the Taiwan Strait belong to one China, which destroyed the political foundation for the peaceful development of cross-Strait relations, the reasons and responsibilities of the interruption of the cross-Strait communication and negotiation mechanism are very clear to everyone. This statement in Taiwan is a typical question of knowing and knowing, “pretending to be confused with understanding”.

An Fengshan said that if the Taiwan authorities really have the sincerity to improve the development of cross-Strait relations, they should recognize the “1992 consensus”, agree that both sides belong to one China, and return to the common political basis of both sides, only the institutionalized exchanges between the two sides can continue.
