BEIJING, Jan. 1 (Xinhua) A Chinese mainland spokesperson said Friday that Taiwan leader s New Year speech has once again exposed the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) s nature of seeking Taiwan independence.
Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, made the remarks in response to a media question about content regarding cross-Strait relations in the speech.
Zhu said the cross-Strait exchanges are currently in an extremely abnormal state, and the abnormality is due to the obstacles imposed by the DPP.
Noting that the 1992 Consensus, which embodies the one-China principle, is the political foundation for cross-Strait dialogue, Zhu said since the DPP came into power in 2016, it has refused to recognize the consensus, undermining the political foundation of cross-Strait relations, and has repeatedly conducted provocative activities to seek independence.
