A Chinese mainland spokesman reiterated the mainland's
consistent policy towards Taiwan at a press conference held in
Beijing on Wednesday.
Li Weiyi, spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State
Council, said the mainland has noticed Taiwan prosecutors'
indictment against Taiwan's major opposition party leader Ma
Ying-jeou.
He said the mainland's polices towards Taiwan will not change
after Ma's resignation from the post of Kuomintang chairman.
"Our consistent stance is that we are willing to talk with any
person or party on developing relations across the Taiwan Straits
and promoting peaceful reunification as long as they admit the
one-China policy and 1992 Consensus," Li said.
"The Democratic Progress Party (DPP) does not change their party
program, which means they have closed the door to developing
relations with us," Li said.
However, he said the common DPP members are different from the
very few die-hard "Taiwan independence" proponents in the DPP.
"We welcome them to visit the mainland in appropriate
capacities," he said.
