Hu Jintao, general secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party
of China (CPC), on Saturday extended congratulations to James CY Soong, who was
reelected chairman of the People First Party (PFP) in Taiwan on Friday.
"I sincerely hope that the PFP and the CPC, together with compatriots on both
sides of the Taiwan Straits, will make concerted efforts to maintain peace and
stability in areas across the Taiwan Straits, continue to promote the
development of cross-straits relations, and commit ourselves to rejuvenation of
the Chinese nation," Hu said in a congratulatory message to the PFP Central
Committee and Soong.
Taiwan media reported that Soong won an overwhelming majority of votes by
99.19 percent in the election, which lasted from June 22 to July 15.
Soong founded the PFP on March 31, 2000 and the party has developed into the
second largest opposition party in Taiwan after the
Kuomintang.
