'92 Consensus called only way forward on Taiwan

Wang said that promoting the peaceful development of cross-Straits relations and peaceful reunification of Taiwan with the motherland is the common aspiration of all Chinese people and is the Party's basic stance for resolving the Taiwan question.

He said that 30 years ago, Chinese people on both sides of the Taiwan Straits chose dialogue instead of confrontation, managed differences through communication, and promoted cooperation through consultation.

In 1992, the Taiwan-based Straits Exchange Foundation and the mainland-based Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits reached a common understanding that they should express verbally that both sides of the Taiwan Straits adhere to the one-China principle.
