China: Mainland highlights 1992 Consensus as Tsai Ing-wen elected Taiwan leader

The Chinese mainland's Taiwan affairs authority has reiterated the importance of adhering to the 1992 Consensus after Tsai Ing-wen, candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), was elected Taiwan leader on Saturday.

In a three-way race to become Taiwan's next leader, Tsai defeated rivals Kuomintang (KMT) candidate Eric Chu and People First Party (PFP) Chairman James Soong.

A person in charge of the Taiwan Work Office of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council said in a statement released late on Saturday that the mainland's major principles and policies concerning Taiwan are "consistent and clear, and will not change with the results of Taiwan elections."

In the past eight years, on the political basis of adhering to the 1992 Consensus and opposing "Taiwan independence," both sides have jointly explored a path for the peaceful development of the cross-Strait relations, set up an institutional framework for exchanges and cooperation, and maintained peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait, the statement said.

"Such hard-won good momentum should be cherished," it said.

"We will continue to adhere to the 1992 Consensus and resolutely oppose any form of secessionist activities seeking 'Taiwan independence'," it read.

"Together with people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, we are willing to maintain the common political foundation, the peaceful development of cross-Strait relations and peace and stability across the Strait, and jointly create a bright future for the revival of the Chinese nation," it read...

  1. L'élection de Tsai Ing-wen fait ressurgir le spectre de nouvelles tensions avec Pékin...

    Tsai Ing-wen, candidate du principal parti d'opposition, est devenue la première femme présidente de Taïwan. Alors qu'elle a promis de rendre à l'île sa fierté, de nouvelles tensions se font déjà sentir avec la Chine.

    Lors de l’élection présidentielle taïwanaise, Tsai Ing-wen, a infligé une déroute historique au parti au pouvoir du Kuomintang (KMT), remportant une large victoire à l'élection présidentielle (56,12 %), samedi 16 janvier.

    Ancienne professeur d'université, Tsai Ing-wen est déjà devenue pour la presse "la Angela Merkel d’Asie" en raison de sa détermination et sa simplicité : elle vit dans un modeste appartement, seule, avec ses deux chats. La nouvelle présidente taïwanaise, âgée de 59 ans, professe toutefois avoir une certaine admiration pour Margaret Thatcher et sa force de caractère. C’est en effet en Grande-Bretagne, à la London School of Economics, que la nouvelle présidente a décroché un doctorat lors de ses études.
