The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council warned before the ＂Double Tenth＂ that the Taiwan authorities do not presuppose that they will not give up the ＂two-state theory.＂

According to a report by China Taiwan Province Network today (28th), the Taiwan Province Affairs Office of the State Council held a regular press conference in the press room of the Taiwan Affairs Office at 10: 00 this morning, which was presided over by Ma Xiaoguang, director and spokesperson of the Information Bureau of the Taiwan Affairs Office. Ma Xiaoguang is talking about Taiwan today.baysquareWhile refusing to accept the "1992 Consensus" and repeatedly saying that cross-strait exchanges should not presuppose, he said that the "1992 Consensus" and the one-China principle it embodies are objective facts that conform to the jurisprudence and reality of cross-strait relations, and are not artificial preconditions.The key to the so-called no preconditions is not to admit that both sides of the strait belong to the same China, that is, not to give up the position of "two States" and "one country on each side".

With regard to Taiwan Province’s upcoming "October 10th Speech", Tsai Ing-Wen may not be able to hand in a qualified answer. Ma Guang Xiao, spokesman of the Taiwan Affairs Office, said that the key to maintaining the peaceful development of cross-strait relations lies in adhering to the political foundation of the "1992 Consensus".No matter what the leaders of the Taiwan Province authorities say, this hurdle cannot be bypassed.

In view of the fact that Xie Xuehong, the founder of the Taiwan Communist Party and the founder of the Taiwan Alliance, was packaged as a pioneer of Taiwan independence by some "Taiwan independence" on the island and set up a monument, Ma Xiaoguang said,Ms. Xie Xuehong is also a members of the Communist Party of China (CPC). Her spirit of fighting against Japanese colonial rule and realizing the reunification of the motherland is indelible and cannot be distorted. The "Taiwan independence" forces tried to make political articles and mislead the people of Taiwan Province, only to expose their distorted mentality and clumsy tactics.

The mainland released the reform dividend, and the development of Taiwanese enterprises in the mainland showed a steady trend.

Ma Guang Xiao, spokesman of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said today that at present, the production and operation of Taiwan-funded enterprises in the mainland are generally stable. According to the statistics of the Ministry of Commerce, in the first eight months of this year, there were 2,392 new Taiwan-funded projects in the mainland (excluding the third transfer), up 23.93% year-on-year; The actual use of Taiwan capital was US$ 1.491 billion, up 33.09% year-on-year. At present, the mainland is implementing the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", deepening the construction of the "Belt and Road", promoting the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, the Yangtze River Economic Belt, the large-scale development of the western region, and revitalizing the old industrial bases in Northeast China. It is hoped that the transformation and upgrading of Taiwanese enterprises will be in line with these strategies and achieve greater development.

As long as we have a correct understanding of cross-strait relations, we all take a positive attitude.

Ma Xiaoguang, spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, told the visiting delegation of Taiwan’s counties and cities a few days ago that our determination and sincerity in promoting cross-strait exchanges and cooperation in various fields and seeking for the well-being of compatriots on both sides of the strait will not change. It is understood that eight counties and cities in Taiwan Province and relevant parties in the mainland are planning to hold agricultural special products fairs and tourism promotion conferences in eight counties and cities in Taiwan Province in the mainland this year. Relevant enterprises in mainland China are also planning to visit eight counties and cities and negotiate the procurement of agricultural products. He also stressed that as long as we have a correct understanding of the nature of cross-strait relations and county-city exchanges and are willing to contribute to enhancing the well-being and affection of compatriots on both sides of the strait, we all have a positive attitude.

Democratic Progressive Party’s 30-year-old radical or flexible "Taiwan independence" is doomed to failure

When talking about the 30th anniversary of the founding of Democratic Progressive Party, Ma Guang Xiao, spokesman of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said today that Democratic Progressive Party’s long-term adherence to the "Taiwan independence" party platform and the "Taiwan independence" separatist proposition of "one country on each side" undermined the political foundation for the peaceful development of cross-strait relations, incited cross-strait confrontation and obstructed cross-strait exchanges, which seriously impacted and affected the good momentum and achievements of the peaceful development of cross-strait relations since 2008 and damaged the vital interests of Taiwan Province compatriots. It can be said that if Democratic Progressive Party does not give up the "Taiwan independence", it will be difficult to find a way out in cross-strait relations. Whether it is a radical "Taiwan independence" or a so-called gradual and flexible "Taiwan independence", it is doomed to failure.

Lee Teng-hui’s clamor for so-called "constitutional reform" can only be a dream.

When talking about Lee Teng-hui’s recent clamor to promote the so-called "constitutional reform", Ma Xiaoguang said today that there is a fashionable political term in Taiwan Province called "people who pretend to sleep can’t wake up". I think Lee Teng-hui is the one who can’t wake up from the dream of "Taiwan independence". However, the development trend of the world and the development trend of the two sides of the strait are doomed to be a dream. What’s important is that compatriots on both sides of the strait may not forget that during Chen Shui-bian’s administration, he frantically tried to change Taiwan Province’s status as a part of China by means of "constitutional reform" and "referendum" and suffered a shameful failure. If someone still wants to inherit the mantle of Lee Teng-hui and Chen Shui-bian, I don’t think the end will be good, and everyone can foresee it.

Taiwan Province should not mislead the public with the so-called flight safety as an excuse.

In response to Taiwan Province’s claim that seeking to participate in the International Civil Aviation Congress is based on its responsibility for the safety of international air navigation, Ma Xiaoguang said that Taiwan Province should deeply reflect on its failure to participate in the 39th ICAO Congress, instead of making accusations against the mainland and misleading public opinion. The mainland has always attached importance to the needs of Taiwan Province compatriots in the field of civil aviation, and will continue to provide relevant information to Taiwan Province. Taiwan Province’s aviation safety has nothing to do with Taiwan Province’s participation in international civil aviation conferences.

Taiwan authorities should not be led by the "extremely independent" forces.

Ma Xiaoguang, spokesman of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, responded to the claim of the "United Taiwan Party" that it would not rule out sending a letter inviting Lai Lama or Rebiya to counter the mainland: It is not surprising that inviting figures like Dalai Lama and Rebiya to Taiwan Province may have an impact and harm on cross-strait relations. The key is that Taiwan Province’s rulers should not misjudge the situation and be led by "ultra-independence" forces.

Green camp said that the eight mayors who landed in the county were "blue eight slaves" selling Taiwan. Ma Xiaoguang: the Qing Dynasty cleared itself.

Mayors of eight counties in Taiwan Province made achievements when they landed, and they were called "Blue Eight Slaves" by green camp citizens to sell Taiwan. Ma Guang Xiao, spokesman of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said that those who are clear are clear and those who are turbid are turbid. Those acts of throwing dirty water at others certainly reflect the political nature of these politicians, but they still can’t solve the vital interests of Taiwan Province people.

The individual remarks of individual politicians in the United States do not represent the attitude of the US government.

Ma Xiaoguang, spokesman of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, responded to the US Congressman’s claim that he should join ICAO for the sake of Taiwan Province’s flying safety: The US government adheres to the one-China policy and has made commitments on bilateral occasions and major international occasions many times. As for the individual remarks of individual politicians in the United States, they do not represent the attitude of the US government.

"Taiwan independence" exposes a distorted mentality: the founders of the packaging Taiwan Communist Party and the Taiwan Alliance are the pioneers of "Taiwan independence"

In view of the fact that Xie Xuehong, the founder of the Taiwan Communist Party and the founder of the Taiwan Alliance, was packaged as a pioneer of Taiwan independence by some "Taiwan independence" on the island and a monument was erected, Ma Guang Xiao, spokesman of the Taiwan Affairs Office, said today that Ms. Xie Xuehong is also members of the Communist Party of China (CPC), and her spirit of fighting against Japanese colonial rule and realizing the reunification of the motherland is indelible and cannot be distorted. The "Taiwan independence" forces tried to make political articles and mislead the people of Taiwan Province, only to expose their distorted mentality and clumsy tactics.

"Taiwan independence" organization set up a monument for Xie Xuehong and tried to package it as "Taiwan independence Pioneer"　　

It is the key to correctly understand cross-strait relations if blue-green counties and cities reshuffle.

Ma Guang Xiao, spokesman of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said today that Taiwan Province will also face a county and mayor election in 2018. If the blue and green counties and cities are reshuffled, and whether the eight measures taken by the mainland to promote exchanges with eight counties and cities in Taiwan Province will be adjusted, he said that the key to cross-strait county-city exchanges is to have a correct understanding of the nature of cross-strait relations and county-city exchanges, which will help the development of interaction, exchanges and cooperation between the two sides.

In addition, there are constant protests on the island, calling for work, survival and the "1992 Consensus". Ma Xiaoguang, a spokesperson for the Affairs Office of the State Council, said that in a word, these ordinary people in Taiwan Province, people from all walks of life, took to the streets to express their feelings and dissatisfaction, and they were actually voting on the cross-strait policies of the Taiwan Province authorities with their feet.

The following is the full text of the conference (from Hong Kong China Rating Society)

Ma Xiaoguang: Hello, everyone, the press conference will begin now. Now please ask questions.

Xinhua News Agency: Since May 20th this year, Taiwan Province has refused to accept the "1992 Consensus" on the one hand, and repeatedly said that cross-strait exchanges should not presuppose. What is your comment?

Ma Xiaoguang: The "1992 Consensus" and the one-China principle it embodies are objective facts that conform to the jurisprudence and reality of cross-strait relations, and are not artificial preconditions. This consensus was reached by both sides of the strait through communication and consultation, seeking common ground while reserving differences, and was not unilaterally imposed on Taiwan Province by us. When dealing with each other, we must first make clear the nature of their relationship. The key to the so-called no preconditions is not to admit that both sides of the strait belong to the same China, that is, not to give up the position of "two States" and "one country on each side". The Democratic Progressive Party authorities unilaterally undermine the common political foundation of the two sides of the strait, in fact, they impose their denial of consensus on the mainland, which is the prerequisite for cross-strait exchanges and interactions.

Reporter from Hong Kong China Rating Society: A few days ago, a visiting delegation from Taiwan’s counties and cities visited China. The mainland will take eight measures to promote exchanges and cooperation with these eight counties and cities. How will the spokesman implement these measures in the future? In addition, does this mean that the mainland will adopt a different policy towards Taiwan Province’s blue-green camp? Thank you.

Ma Xiaoguang: Not long ago, a delegation of mayors from some counties in Taiwan Province came to the mainland and said that they would continue to support the "1992 Consensus". We responded positively and put forward eight measures to further promote the relevant departments and cities in the mainland to strengthen exchanges and cooperation with these eight counties and cities. Our determination and sincerity to promote cross-strait exchanges and cooperation in various fields and to benefit compatriots on both sides of the strait will not change. As long as we have a correct understanding of the nature of cross-strait relations and county-city exchanges and are willing to contribute to enhancing the well-being and affection of compatriots on both sides of the strait, we all have a positive attitude.

It is understood that eight counties and cities in Taiwan Province and relevant parties in the mainland are planning to hold agricultural special products fairs and tourism promotion conferences in eight counties and cities in Taiwan Province in the mainland this year. Relevant enterprises in mainland China are also planning to visit eight counties and cities and negotiate the procurement of agricultural products.

CCTV reporter: On October 10th, Tsai Ing-Wen will also deliver a "Double Ten Speech". We noticed that some media analyzed that Tsai Ing-Wen could not hand in a qualified answer sheet on cross-strait relations in this speech. How did the spokesman respond to this? Thank you.

Ma Xiaoguang: Since May 20th this year, the good momentum and achievements of the peaceful development of cross-Straits relations, which lasted for eight years, have been seriously impacted, and the vital interests of Taiwan Province people have been harmed. We all know the crux of this situation and the responsibility.

The practice of both positive and negative aspects of cross-strait relations proves that different road choices determine different prospects. The key to maintaining the peaceful development of cross-strait relations lies in adhering to the political foundation of the "1992 Consensus". No matter what the leaders of the Taiwan Province authorities say, this hurdle cannot be bypassed.

I have said many times that our major policy toward Taiwan is clear and consistent. We will continue to adhere to the political foundation of the "1992 Consensus", resolutely oppose the "Taiwan independence" and firmly safeguard the one-China principle. We will further expand exchanges between compatriots on both sides of the strait, promote exchanges and cooperation in various fields, and build a cross-strait community of destiny. We believe that no force can stop the peaceful development of cross-strait relations and the historical process of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Reporter from Xiamen Satellite TV, Fujian: Recently, Taiwan Province and the southeast coastal areas of the mainland have been frequently ravaged by typhoons. May I ask the spokesman whether the two sides can strengthen relevant cooperation in disaster reduction and prevention to cope with the bad weather of typhoons and other disasters? Thank you.

Ma Xiaoguang: Recently, several destructive typhoons have successively affected some areas on both sides of the strait, causing heavy losses to people’s lives and property on both sides of the strait. We have been paying close attention to this, and I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere condolences to the affected compatriots. It is understood that during the typhoon "Nibert" and "Moranti" affected Taiwan Province and mainland China this year, meteorological professionals on both sides of the strait communicated and exchanged in real time through the instant messaging software system. We actively support everything that is conducive to compatriots on both sides of the strait to jointly do a good job in meteorological disaster prevention and mitigation and to enhance the well-being of people’s livelihood on both sides of the strait.

Taiwan Province TVBS TV reporter: Three "legislators" in Democratic Progressive Party have been unable to get Hong Kong visas one after another. Some of them went to the Hong Kong Forum, and some went to Hong Kong to take refuge after a typhoon entered the country, but they failed to get Hong Kong visas. The "Green Committee" thinks that everything is green. How does the spokesman comment on this?

Ma Xiaoguang: This is an internal affair of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. We respect the Hong Kong SAR Government’s handling of the entry and exit of overseas personnel in accordance with the Basic Law. Thank you.

Fujian straits herald reporter: what is the overall situation of Taiwan-funded enterprises investing and operating in the mainland at present? What are the opportunities for the transformation and upgrading of Taiwan-funded enterprises under the new situation of the implementation of the 13 th Five-Year Plan in the mainland? Thank you.

Ma Xiaoguang: At present, the production and operation of Taiwan-funded enterprises in the mainland are generally stable. With the continuous release of reform dividends and market space in the mainland, the development of Taiwanese businessmen in the mainland has generally shown a trend of structural transformation, technological upgrading and capital increase and share expansion. Taiwanese investment in the mainland continues to grow.

According to the statistics of the Ministry of Commerce, in the first eight months of this year, there were 2,392 new Taiwan-funded projects in the mainland (excluding the third transfer), up 23.93% year-on-year; The actual use of Taiwan capital was US$ 1.491 billion, up 33.09% year-on-year.

At present, the mainland is implementing the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", deepening the construction of the "Belt and Road", promoting the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, the Yangtze River Economic Belt, the large-scale development of the western region, and revitalizing the old industrial bases in Northeast China. It is hoped that the transformation and upgrading of Taiwanese enterprises will be in line with these strategies and achieve greater development.

Taiwan Province Zhongtian TV reporter asked: Chen Deming, president of ARATS, said in an exclusive interview with Lianhe Zaobao that there was no difference in treatment between blue and green ruling counties and cities, but this time it was true that the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council released more benefits to the eight counties and cities of Lanying. Does Taiwan Province think there is a gap between these? Is there a difference in treatment without customs clearance code? Thank you.

Ma Xiaoguang: You may have noticed that President Yu Zhengsheng made it clear in his talks with mayors of eight counties that our determination and sincerity to promote cross-strait exchanges and cooperation in various fields and to benefit compatriots on both sides of the strait will not change. As long as we have a correct understanding of cross-strait relations and the nature of cross-strait county-city exchanges, of course, we all have a positive attitude.

International TV reporter: Taiwan Province claims that it seeks to participate in the international civil aviation conference because of its responsibility for the safety of international air navigation. What is the spokesman’s comment on this? Thank you.

Ma Xiaoguang: On the question that Taiwan Province was not invited to participate in the 39th ICAO Assembly, I think Taiwan Province should deeply reflect on why it was able to participate three years ago, but not this year, instead of making accusations against the mainland and misleading public opinion, and even using the so-called flight safety in Taiwan Province as an excuse to mislead the people of Taiwan Province. Here, I solemnly express that the mainland has always attached importance to the needs of Taiwan Province compatriots in the field of civil aviation, and will continue to provide relevant information to Taiwan Province. It can be said that Taiwan Province’s access to ICAO standards, recommended measures and related information is smooth, and the information is complete and comprehensive. Taiwan Province enjoys convenient navigation with many cities in the world. Facts have proved that Taiwan Province’s aviation safety has nothing to do with whether Taiwan Province participates in the International Civil Aviation Congress or not.

China Taiwan Province Network reporter: Ma Ying-jeou, the former leader of Taiwan Province, said in a lecture at Soochow University a few days ago that the Diaoyu Islands and the South China Sea Islands belong to China’s inherent territory, and the Japanese side’s claim is stealing. When talking about cross-strait relations, Ma Ying-jeou said that no matter how cross-strait relations are handled, they should not fight. He said that peace is the highest value and can really bring prosperity. How does the spokesman comment on this statement? Thank you.

Ma Xiaoguang: Because Mr. Ma is no longer in public office, according to reason, we don’t comment on the speeches of individual Taiwan Province people. However, he mentioned two points in his speech, which we should understand: First, on the sovereignty of Diaoyu Island and South China Sea, we hope compatriots on both sides of the strait will jointly safeguard the inheritance left by our ancestors. Second, we hope for peace in the Taiwan Strait and the peaceful development of cross-strait relations. To this end, we have found such a path since 2008, and its foundation is to adhere to the "1992 Consensus". If we continue along this road, the new Taiwan Province administration must give a clear answer to the common political foundation of the two sides.

Fujian Strait Satellite TV reporter: Democratic Progressive Party is celebrating the 30th anniversary of the founding of the Party. How do you evaluate the history of this party in the past 30 years from the perspective of the mainland, and what expectations do you have for its future? Thank you.

Ma Xiaoguang: It seems that this activity has been postponed. As we all know, Democratic Progressive Party has long adhered to the "Taiwan independence" party platform and the "Taiwan independence" separatist proposition of "one country on each side", undermining the political foundation for the peaceful development of cross-strait relations, inciting cross-strait confrontation and obstructing cross-strait exchanges, which has seriously impacted and affected the good momentum and achievements of the peaceful development of cross-strait relations since 2008 and harmed the vital interests of Taiwan Province compatriots. It can be said that if Democratic Progressive Party does not give up the "Taiwan independence", it will be difficult to find a way out in cross-strait relations. Whether it is a radical "Taiwan independence" or a so-called gradual and flexible "Taiwan independence", it is doomed to failure.

Taiwan Province Wangbao asked: I would like to ask about the visit to 8 counties and cities in Pan-Blue again. We know that Taiwan Province will also face a county mayor election in 2018. If the blue-green counties and cities are reshuffled, will there be some adjustments to these eight policies? The second question is that some media reported that the "Beijing-Taiwan Science and Technology Forum" will be held in Beijing in the middle and late October. What is the current preparation? If representatives of Taiwan Province are invited, will economic and trade officials still be invited to lock in these pan-blue county mayors? The third question, in the National Palace Museum in Taipei, it was recently decided to remove the 12 copies of animal heads given by Jackie Chan. What is the comment of the Taiwan Affairs Office?

Ma Xiaoguang: First, the key to cross-strait county-city exchanges is to have a correct understanding of the nature of cross-strait relations and county-city exchanges. I think this will help the two sides to interact, exchange and cooperate. As for the "Beijing-Taiwan Science and Technology Forum", as far as I know, it is a regular event held every year, which is specifically organized by Beijing. At present, the preparatory work is under way, and I don’t know the relevant details. I will let you know if there is further information.

Regarding the third question, you have noticed that Mr Jackie Chan has made a public response, saying that their donation conveys an attitude of "respecting civilization and protecting culture". Whether the National Palace Museum in Taipei respects this attitude or has other purposes, I think everyone has their own public comment.

Global Network reporter: Now we have noticed that Taiwan Province’s "United Taiwan Party" recently said that Tsai Ing-Wen authorities should take countermeasures against failing to get an invitation letter from the International Civil Aviation Conference, and they even suggested that the Taiwan authorities should invite people like the Dalai Lama or Rebiya to visit Taiwan, without excluding the invitation from the "United Taiwan Party". What is the spokesman’s comment on this? In addition, we have also noticed that some members of the US Congress sent a letter to congratulate the so-called 105th "Taiwan Province National Day". The statement even claimed that Taiwan Province should participate in ICAO because of its flying safety needs. How do you comment on this?

Ma Xiaoguang: The first question is about the possible impact and harm to cross-strait relations caused by inviting people like Dalai and Rebiya to Taiwan Province. Everyone knows the specific political stance and nature of the "United Taiwan Party". It is not surprising that they make such wild remarks. The key is that the Taiwan Province rulers should not misjudge the situation and be led by the "ultra-independence" forces.

Second, the U.S. government adheres to the one-China policy, and has made many commitments on bilateral occasions and major international occasions. As for the individual remarks of individual politicians in the United States, they do not represent the attitude of the U.S. government.

Fujian Southeast Satellite TV reporter: The landing of mayors of eight counties in Taiwan Province has achieved fruitful results. Some people in green camp alleged that the mayors of these counties were "blue slaves" selling Taiwan. What is the spokesman’s comment? Thank you.

Ma Xiaoguang: The eight visiting county mayors have refuted and clarified. I think, the clear is self-clear, and the turbid is self-turbid. Those acts of throwing dirty water at others certainly reflect the political nature of these politicians, but they still can’t solve the vital interests of Taiwan Province people.

Hong Kong Phoenix TV reporter: I would like to ask Taiwan Province to attend the International Civil Aviation Conference. Some commentators said that if Taiwan Province insists on not recognizing the "1992 Consensus", it will affect Taiwan Province’s space to participate in international affairs. How do you comment on this? Thank you.

Ma Xiaoguang: Undoubtedly, the "1992 Consensus" is not only an important political basis for the peaceful development of cross-strait relations, but also an important basis for the two sides to build mutual trust and carry out benign interaction. Without this foundation, the mutual trust between the two sides and the achievements in all aspects of the peaceful development of cross-strait relations will inevitably be affected.

Xinhua News Agency: Lee Teng-hui, the former leader of the Taiwan Province authorities, recently clamored for the so-called "constitutional reform" and clamored for the normalization of Taiwan Province. What is the spokesman’s comment on this?

Ma Xiaoguang: Now there is a fashionable political term in Taiwan Province called "People who pretend to sleep can’t wake up". I think Lee Teng-hui is the one who can’t wake up from the dream of "Taiwan independence". However, the development trend of the world and the development trend of the two sides of the strait are doomed to be a dream. If I have to respond, I’ll quote a poem by Du Fu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty: "Ercao’s body is destroyed in name, and he won’t waste the rivers and rivers." Of course, it is important that compatriots on both sides of the strait may not forget that during Chen Shui-bian’s administration, he frantically tried to change Taiwan Province’s status as a part of China by means of "constitutional reform" and "referendum" and suffered a shameful failure. If someone still wants to inherit the mantle of Lee Teng-hui and Chen Shui-bian, I don’t think the end will be good, and everyone can foresee it.

Fujian Strait Satellite TV reporter: Recently, Xie Xuehong, the founder of the Taiwan Communist Party and the founder of the Taiwan Alliance, was packaged by some "Taiwan independence" organizations on the island as a pioneer of "Taiwan independence" and also set up a monument. How did the spokesman comment on this? Thank you.

Ma Xiaoguang: As you may know, Ms. Xie Xuehong is also a members of the Communist Party of China (CPC). Her spirit of fighting against Japanese colonial rule and realizing the reunification of the motherland is indelible and cannot be distorted. The "Taiwan independence" forces tried to make political articles and mislead the people of Taiwan Province, only to expose their distorted mentality and clumsy tactics.

Guangdong Shenzhen Satellite TV reporter: I have three questions. First, can Taiwan Province attend the APEC meeting in Peru in November this year? Is it possible to participate only if the Taiwan Province authorities respond positively to the "1992 Consensus"? Second, the Taiwan Province authorities have improperly frozen the Kuomintang’s party property by the Party Property Processing Committee, and the Kuomintang’s fund mobilization is facing a break. What is the spokesman’s comment on the current predicament faced by the Kuomintang? Third, regarding the KMT-CPC Forum, do you have any information that the spokesman can introduce? Thank you.

Ma Xiaoguang: I talked about these three issues at the last press conference. First, people from Taiwan Province should attend APEC-related activities in accordance with the relevant provisions of the APEC Memorandum of Understanding. Second, we have noticed that there are many comments on the island, and we will continue to pay attention to the development of the situation. Third, regarding the operation of the platform between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the two sides are in contact and communication, and we will release the exact news in time.

CCTV reporters on both sides of the Taiwan Straits: We have seen that protests have been going on on Taiwan Province Island since September, and many people in Taiwan Province have also taken to the streets to express their dissatisfaction with the ruling authorities. For example, the tourism industry has directly shouted out that they want the "1992 Consensus", that they want to work and survive. Can this be understood as public pressure on the Taiwan Province authorities? What does the spokesman think of the current situation on the island? Thank you.

Ma Xiaoguang: I think, in a word, these ordinary people in Taiwan Province, people from all walks of life who care about their livelihood, have taken to the streets to express their feelings and dissatisfaction. They are actually voting on the cross-strait policies of the Taiwan Province authorities with their feet.

This is the end of the press conference. Thank you for coming.
