A spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council: Unite Taiwan compatriots and pursue the path of peaceful development of cross-strait relations.
The results of Taiwan’s “nine-in-one” election were announced on the 25th.
Ma Xiaoguang, spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said in response to inquiries that we have noticed the results of this election. This result reflects the strong desire of the Taiwanese people to continue to share the "dividends" of the peaceful development of cross-Strait relations and to improve the economy and people's livelihood. We will continue to adhere to the "1992 Consensus", resolutely oppose "Taiwan independence" separatist forces and their activities, unite the majority of Taiwan compatriots, and follow the path of peaceful development of cross-Strait relations. On the basis of a correct understanding of the nature of cross-Strait relations and the nature of cross-Strait city exchanges, we welcome more counties and cities in Taiwan to participate in cross-Strait city exchanges and cooperation.
