[Global Times Special Correspondent Zhang Ruo] November 16th is the 30th anniversary of the cross-strait reaching the "1992 Consensus ". The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council of China held a regular press conference on the morning of the 16th, and spokesperson Ma Xiaoguang answered media questions on this topic.

Ma Xiaoguang said that 30 years ago, the two sides of the Taiwan Strait two sessions were authorized by the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, and after Hong Kong negotiations and a series of subsequent telegrams and telegrams, they reached a consensus that "both sides of the Taiwan Strait adhere to the one-China principle " in oral manner. What constitutes the consensus are two negotiated and mutually recognized texts. In these two paragraphs, both sides expressed the attitude of "both sides of the Taiwan Strait adhered to the one-China principle" and "strive to seek national unity"; on the political meaning of one China, they temporarily shelved the dispute . The achievement of the "1992 Consensus" reflects the political wisdom of seeking common ground while reserving differences, and proves that as long as both sides of the Taiwan Strait put national interests as the priority and national justice as the priority, they will be fully capable and wise to handle cross-strait relations well. He said that the facts of the development of cross-strait relations over the past 30 years have repeatedly proved that only by adhering to the common political foundation of the "1992 Consensus" and opposing "Taiwan independence", can cross-strait relations develop peacefully and stably, compatriots on both sides of the strait benefit, and peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait are guaranteed.

Some media asked about the green camp’s opinions on canvassing votes with “anti-China and Taiwan”. Ma Xiaoguang responded that this trick was innovating, and the Taiwanese people have long been used to it and tired of it, and they can’t fool everyone. In fact, more and more Taiwanese people have realized that "anti-China" not only cannot "protect Taiwan", but will only "harm Taiwan". When talking about the subsequent five-year signing of the long-range early warning radar, the amount reached NT$15.76 billion, Ma Xiaoguang asked directly, "Isn't this NT$15.7 billion used to improve people's livelihood and develop the economy better than giving it to Americans for nothing?" On the other hand, the DPP authorities recently claimed that they would ban the mainland drone . Ma Xiaoguang responded that the DPP authorities "have a ghost in their hearts and a ill brain."

After the Hong Kong talks in 1992, the Mainland and the Straits of Taiwan conducted a series of telecommunications exchanges on the plan to uphold the one-China principle. On November 16 of that year, Abroad Association proposed a statement plan in its reply letter. In early December, the Straits Foundation welcomed the reply from the Association for Discipline Inspection. Therefore, November 16th is also considered to be the day when the "1992 Consensus" was established.

Former Taiwan leader Ma Ying-jeou said on Facebook on the morning of the 16th that after the "1992 Consensus", the two sides of the Taiwan Strait reached " Wang Gu talks ", three direct flights, and signing 23 agreements including ECFA ( Cross-Strait Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement ), as well as a meeting between the leaders of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait in Singapore on November 7, 2015. He said that the "1992 Consensus" also brought peace dividends. After the "diplomatic truce" between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, 164 countries and regions around the world gave Taiwan people visa-free or visa-on-arrival treatment. The Taiwan authorities were invited to attend 8 World Health Assembly and 1 International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) annual meetings. Ma Ying-jeou concluded that the political reality of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait shows that without the "1992 Consensus", there is no possibility of dialogue between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, "at least so far." He called out to Tsai Ing-wen that the ECFA that the authorities have accepted so far is the product of the "1992 Consensus". "Since the ECFA can be accepted, why can't the '1992 Consensus' be accepted?"

KMT "legislator" Lai Shibao said that during the meeting between China and US dollars, Biden stated that the United States pursues a one-China policy, does not support "Taiwan independence", does not support "two Chinas" or "one China, one Taiwan". "What kind of enlightenment does such a clear international objective environmental situation give the DPP, which is thinking about promoting the concept of "Taiwan independence"?" On the 16th, the People's Party Group called on the DPP not to blindly operate "anti-China and Taiwan" for the sake of elections, arousing social confrontation, and should start promoting open and peaceful dialogue between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.

"Strait peace is more important than everything", Deng Daixian, Secretary-General of the Cross-Strait Economic, Trade and Cultural Exchange Association, wrote an article on this topic, saying that this year marks the 30th anniversary of the "1992 Consensus". Although the "1992 Consensus" cannot meet everyone's political philosophy, it can really maintain the relationship between peace, stability, prosperity and development of the cross-strait, and is a stabilizing force to avoid conflict between the two sides.Hong Kong China Review News Agency said that more and more Taiwanese people understand that although "anti-China" is a strategic choice for the United States and a reflection of the US hegemony thinking and Cold War thinking , Taiwan is just one of the pawns of the United States' "anti-China". "Anti-China cannot protect Taiwan, this can be concluded!"
